(Lighthearted) if you disappeared tomorrow...

[girlfromthemoon]

I listen to a lot of true crime things and I always wonder, when they are picking through people's lives days/weeks before they disappeared and all the out of the ordinary things they've done, what is actually relevant and what is just a coincidence

So if you disappeared tomorrow, what odd out of character thing have you done that would be mentioned on your true crime discussion?

Mine: (shit example) I left the house at about 2am the other night to drive 30 mins to a 24 hour shop to get petrol and a book, no reason other than I couldn't sleep and thought I may as well 🤷🏻‍♀️ had I disappear at some point in that journey or a few days later I imagine there would have been a lot of speculation as to why I would just up and leave my house at 2am!

Started washing towels after one use,, daily wiping of kitchen surface, etc

Ignore - missed the point of the thread!

If my kids were questioned about their last moments with me, they’d say I was acting very strange this morning, twirling around the house in my own little world, singing walking in the air, and Jerusalem whilst completely ignoring them.

This is very strange as I am not a morning person at all! They’re lucky if they get a grunt outta me usually.

Yours is a good one @girlfromthemoon sneaking around in the middle of the night for no reason....

I don't think I've done anything odd (my children would say everything I do is odd ). I have a sadly boring and routine life.
I did have to go to a and e on Monday, and got a taxi both ways - they might have to interview the taxi drivers (one of whom drove much to fast for my liking ).There's probably cctv of me at the hospital reading my kindle and wearing a woolly hat because the waiting room was freezing. That might be the 'last known sighting' of me.

I have night shift tonight so I told my kids I'd see them after school tomorrow. My husband won't see me until tomorrow evening so nobody in my family would notice. Although hopefully work would be ringing dh to find out where I am.

I live on an Army camp so my comings and goings are recorded on CCTV. Nothing out or the ordinary though. Bought quite a bit online... They may question why I'm buying torches, dinosaur skeletons, map books, a compass, a fishing jacket, baby books etc. But it is December.

Not me, but DH has been ridiculously excited for Christmas, spent a significant amount of money on new Christmas decorations and insisted they went up on the 1st December. This from a man who makes the grinch look like Santa Claus.

I swear he’s been abducted by aliens and replaced by a doppelgänger.

What a great thread. I'm getting the car valeted tomorrow so if I vanished the day after that might look contrived I guess.

Nothing out of character but I would worry about them finding a decent up to date photo of me for the papers. Thankfully I have no Facebook account for them to plunder.

There would be a sighting of me in B&M buying cat food and a Toblerone.

All those sudden changes to my finances. (I'm just going full Martin Lewis and trying to save money.)

Actually used my phone to call someone... and spoken to them as if I was a normal human being - twice!

One or two things: The main one would be I didn't attend therapy without texting my therapist. This would be a highly suspect.

I have been to the tip this week...

Nothing out of the ordinary, but they would see the amount of money I've spent recently and dp would be pissed off.

I’m off work ill. This is very unusual behaviour for me.

Last time I had time off for any kind of sickness was in 2011 when I had an operation.

I’m not a martyr, I’m just lucky enough to be relatively healthy.

I bought a big bundle of good towels on Monday.

I haven't bought a towel since about 1990.

Am I about to set up home elsewhere????

These are great!

If I was listening to these I would be thinking there's no way it's a coincidence that this odd behaviour happened hours before they disappeared!

It's crazy really what people speculate about when they don't know something, I guess it's similar to how we will always look for patterns in things and see faces in inanimate objects and stuff!

My nosey colleagues would say
'She got into a red car around the corner from work at 8:05 am. It wasn't her car. They have a blue car. The driver was male, middle-aged. With glasses'.

Oooooooooh good thread! Like a previous poster, I live on a base where my movements are recorded. My life makes Gina Ford look like a spontaneous raver.
However, if they accessed my phone notes they would assume an affair. I think there would also be question marks over why I had recently closed down some bank accounts.

@Timeforatincture or got a lot of cleaning up to do! 🤭🤔

I’ve thought of another one. Because I’ve been off work and stuck in bed I’ve been organising my bank accounts and moving money around.

And one for DH - he just went out for a twenty minute drive. The actual reason was he thinks he’s fixed an intermittent fault on his car and wanted to test it, but it looks as if he went for a circular, pointless drive.

@girlfromthemoon

yeah bought bleach too!

If I vanished now they would wonder about my jacket hanging on the stable door.....

It has a rusty old knife in the pocket for cutting open bales. There is also a hammer and nails as I was fixing a loose fence panel. Then there's the bloody tissue because I scrapped my hand trying to break ice in a bucket.

I hung it on door and went to town to pick up niece sick from school......but nobody knows that!!

On 1 December my new life insurance policy came into force. Seriously.
