Imagine you're living your day-to-day, and you're in your car getting into a heated argument with a friend. After the clash, you part ways and go home to go to sleep because you have work in the morning
On your way to work the next day, you stop to get a coffee while and you're waiting in line somebody behind you repeats verbatim and mockingly the most heated moment of yesterday's argument you turn around the person smiles, coughs twice and leaves
This is usually the beginning of the victim's awareness of their celebrity cruise or COINTELPRO ride has started
That first encounter seems weird but you shrug it off you mentioned it to your significant other later that day
later that night you're on your phone and you notice a story in your feed mentioning how your significant other is more likely to cheat in the morning
Before you go to bed your partner will tell you they're going to meet a friend at the gym in the morning and it puts you on guard
In the morning, you're driving to work in your car playing Pandora radio and a commercial for a local PI that specialize in cheating spouses comes on in between songs
On your lunch break, you realize your partner hasn't called you all day and as you scroll your feeds on your lunch break you see a comment mentioning how YOU are abusing your mentor position at church and that no one likes you
you shake it off, save the post to comment later then go back to work
You get to your desk and shortly after one of your clients calls and chew you out for an unfulfilled purchase order, the person yells at you is very rude then hangs up
At the end of work, you notice your significant other still hasn't called you which makes you suspicious by this time and you pick up dinner. Before going home and while in line at the grocery store a stranger says your name while having a conversation with another person but to mention in the conversation how her friend had to leave her church group to save her marriage
On your way home your streaming service plays nothing but songs about cheating boyfriends you get home and see your significant other with another person of the opposite sex, you get out of the car your spouse says his phone didn't work all day for some reason and his card isn't working so he couldn't buy gas that's why the person (who is also female) drove him home, not to mention she is a new client of his
You both get in the house and an argument starts. You accuse your spouse of cheating, she gets mad and leaves
You eat dinner by yourself go back and check on that negative comment you saw online at lunch but it's not there anymore
Suddenly you're waking up, not remembering falling asleep and you hear a noise in your house so you call out your spouse with no answer. Hear a door slam then silence
You text your partner "why'd you leave?"
they reply "I haven't been back and I'm still mad talk to you later"
Now that you know that wasn't your spouse you check your house find nothing but the lights on and open cabinet doors but nothing missing
You call the cops, they checked the house and see nothing missing or out of place. The police then ask you things like if you've been abusing alcohol or drugs.
