Title: Why Would Someone Put THIS At My Front Door?
Post by: the shark hunter on September 18, 2015, 04:23:14 PM
... as i was coming home yesterday i was alarmed to see a bag hanging from my front door handle ...



... however, on closer inspection i saw that it wasn't anything bad. inside the bag was a slice of APPLE PIE on a paper plate!



... but what am i to take from this? what does it mean? who might've left the pie there and why might they have done so?



... and more critically -- should i eat the pie? it's in my fridge and it looks delicious, but i'm not sure if i should eat it or not ...



... please advise me on this!

I actually had this happen to me with a plate of cookies a couple years ago.  It turned out a neighbour down the street did it.  I didn't eat the cookies until I knew who they were from and I would advise you not to either until you discover who it is from.



If I am to guess though, I would say someone wanted to do something kind for you and share a slice of pie in hopes it would brighten up your day.  Conversely, someone might think you are an asshole and want to poison you.  It's hard to say without knowing who did it.



Here are the cookies I was left:

This tells me someone likes you or something you have done..



Seeing what civic pride you have, I cannot blame them.

A few years ago I came home to a bag of tomatoes at my front door, no note, no indication who they were from, no nothing. Brought them in the house sat the bag on the kitchen counter and just looked at them for about a day. Then I threw them into the garbage.



About a week later a friend who lived about mile away stops by and says "how did you like the tomatoes"? I just looked at him and said "they were great, thanks for dropping them off.  :mad:



I don't want to sound ungrateful but what kind of a dunce does something like that?

It's a kind gesture but rude not to leave a note.

I would have likely handled the tomatoes and the neighbour the same way Renee.

... yes i agree, there should be a note to go along with the offering.  otherwise it's not much different from leaving garbage at your door ...  ac_smile

Very, it's also disconcerting in a way that can make you paranoid.

This may come as a shock, but not everyone loves the Iron Ch!nk. I would immediately suspect spiked fucking tomatoes.

I think it's less weird when you live in a small town.

Everyone knows you and your business.  There's comfort and irritation in it.  Like everyone kind of looks out for everyone but they look into everyone too.  You just don't get that in the city.

We have a condo in Fort Mac, but that is neither a small town nor a place where everyone looks out for everyone.

We have a neighbor who occasionally leaves veggies from their garden on our doorstep.  Sometimes we'll come home and there will be a big cucumber sitting on the chair by the door and other times a bowl of cherry tomatoes. We always know who it's from because they are the only ones who have a garden and like to share. We have a security camera too so if we're worried we just take a look at the footage.  If you don't know who then don't eat till you do.

#1.  You dont eat food abandoned on your door step...if you do..might as well eat road kill.



#2.  If you want to give someone food...knock on their door and give it to them..show your appreciation.



If someone did that to me...I'd toss it.

Depends if you hit the animal yourself or someone you know did and it was quickly cleaned up.
