Does anyone else always close curtains/blinds before turning on lights in a dark room just in case there's a sniper lurking outside? I'm not a woman who's likely to have a hit on me, but I feel like it's a sensible thing to do nonetheless.

Any sniper worth his salt would have night vision anyway so you're completely wasting your time. Well that's if you're being serious about which I have grave doubts.

No but, when I'm driving and somebody pulls up besides me I have an irrational fear I'm gonna be taken out by a drive-by shooting 😬

"Sensible" is doing some heavy lifting there.

Depends if I'm naked. There's some things even a sniper can never un-see 🤣

Not for a sniper, that’s silly. It’s so the murderer can’t see inside.
