And to question if copying is even a thing when you're grown up and not just "being inspired"?
Reason I ask...my neighbour...she's late 20s, lone parent with one child...she's very nice generally...friendly, funny, open....but...on a number of occasions she's blatantly copied me....it began when I bought my DD a certain pair of trainers...not designer or expensive...the next day she informed me "I ordered X a pair too..."
I didn't even register this at the time...just thought it was nice that she'd found some she liked.
Next...I bought a new vacuum cleaner...the next day she said "I'm SO jealous." and then ran off and made her Mum buy her the same one.
I say "ran off" because she literally had that air about her...sort of panicked and rushed when she went up the road to ask her.
Next...I bought a new shower curtain...she saw it when she was visiting...and said "I'm going to get the same one...I like that."
Is it odd? I'm sure there are other things but can't recall them. This is all within months of us moving here...we've not been here long.

To think it's weird to "copy" someone when you're an adult?
