There’s nothing quite as alarming as thinking that you are alone, only to find out you were mistaken.
This happened to me often as a child when my brothers would come house early in addition to scared the crap out of me on purpose.
They would hide somewhere in the house in addition to come popping out of the closet as I walked through the hallway. As such, I actually developed a bit of shell-shocked in adulthood. Loud sounds in addition to abrupt movements actually freaked me out. That’s why I nearly wet myself the other afternoon when I walked into the office at labor in addition to someone emerged from the shadows unexpectedly. A tall, looming figure entered my peripheral vision in addition to I nearly hit the floor. I instinctively grab for my pepper spray, in addition to almost maced my coworker straight in the face. When I realized it was him, I screamed in his face for scaring me so badly. He was extremely apologetic, in addition to begin telling me what had happened. Apparently he had been stuck at the office extremely late the evening before. When he was getting ready to leave, he started getting odd notifications from his smart temperature control. The temperature control unit was freaking out, telling him that the heating system had gone offline. He instantly called his landlord to come check out the boiler, but the landlord would not answer to make this ventilation check up. Instead, my co-worker had to drive all the way to his site only to find out it was freezing cold. The heating system was not working. It was too late at evening to call out Heating in addition to Cooling service, so he turned back around in addition to drove to work. He made a bed in addition to used the heat in the office to make it through the freezing evening. It was quite an ordeal – for us both.
