I would walk in that direction, probably trying to look as if I’m having trouble finding my car so that if it turns out not to be her after all when I get closer, I can maintain the appearance of having no particular interest in two complete strangers.
I’m very much in the same boat as you. Except for the hugging part. Mrs Magill is not a hugger.
My god, I just walk over and say hi to my wife. Also, I don’t want to see any of those shows again, but I liked most of 'em.
In the actual video, the wife trots over rapidly and has a long angry confrontation, and it turns out it is indeed a mistress.
In my real life, I’d watch to be sure my wife was safe, and then I’d ask her about it at home. In my real life, my wife wouldn’t have an affair.
Same, but not ask. I trust my wife.
In real life, i walk over not because I’m suspicious, but to say “hi”. And in real life, if i wasn’t able to to that for whatever reason, i ask about it when i get home not because I’m suspicious, but because it’s a funny coincidence that we were in the same parking lot without planning to be, and it’s something mildly interesting to talk about at dinner.
Yeah, that’s not my life.
“Walk”?
In the misdelivered mail poll, that’s something that used to happen to me somewhat often. It hadn’t in a few years, i guess that was a few employee-changes ago.
Anyway, the two common problems were a next door neighbor, or someone with my house number across town. I usually took the letter over myself. By foot for the next door neighbor, by car if across town. In both cases, i rung the doorbell, and handed it to them in they answered. But if they didn’t answer, i left it somewhere. I don’t actually remember if that was their mailbox or just tucked into their door, but someplace convenient. I certainly never took the mail over and then brought it back home.
And sometimes, if i was busy and it was far away, i just circled the address, scrawled something about it having been misdelivered, and dropped it back in the mailbox. But not usually.
When I get a package for a neighbor, it is generally for someone quite close- i walk it over, leave it on the porch- hidden from the street if possible- and ring the doorbell. Letters- I put on the door, but dont ring.
If it looks like real mail I write on it; if it’s clearly junk mail I throw it into the recycle bin.
I usually put a yellow sticky on it noting that this is the wrong address, whatever kind of mail I think it is, and put it back in the box with the flag up. In my case “two or three streets over” is at least a mile’s walk and possibly several.
If i really thought it might be my partner, I’d walk over to say hi. I certainly wouldn’t assume that because they were talking to somebody in a parking lot that they must be having an affair. And it wouldn’t remotely occur to me to start taking pictures.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the woman who took that viral video may have had reason to suspect her husband was cheating on her before this happened.
Yeah, that would definitely make a difference.
For a decade, I lived in a part of a city with numbered streets. My address was (not exactly but something like) 2378 37th Avenue. I can certainly imagine sorting a large amount of mail full of addresses that look like that and making some mistakes. Frankly I’m surprised it didn’t happen more often, but we got mail for the same house number on a different street, or our street with transposed house numbers, and so forth.
It was an easily walkable neighborhood, so I usually just walked over to the right house.
Now my address is a two-digit number on a uniquely-named street. We almost never get misdelivered mail.
This is the best answer!
The most recent poll only works if you assume Obama and Biden had similar styles and policies. My policies would be well to the left of both since I would have no intention of ever running for any office after completing my term. I would avoid copying Biden’s style and have no hope of matching Obama’s.
Because I have the best wife!
What you described is what I’d call a healthy relationship and setting a good example.
I would raise taxes & cut services (which neither party would go for) to pay down the debt. Gotta get that deficit under control; way to high IMHO
