Does anyone ever feel like they're on UM?

[fascination]

Been binge watching UM on Amazon Prime- even downloading and watching it on my phone when on the go. But now it feels like I'm always IN an episode with everything I do. Just something simple like walking in the park I can almost hear Stack's narration: "she was just walking in the park..." I laugh at myself when it happens because I know it's just my heightnened sense of fear from watching too many episodes. But does this happen anyone else?

Lol it posted before I was done typing- stupid cell phones. Thanks for the concern!

I'm a man who is muscular and covered in tattoos. I was walking up the street today when someone yelled "You work it girlfriend" out of a car. I was very perplexed.

Very Unsolved Mysteries.

Well, it was high praise! I can see the lost loves segment now: freakbook was perplexed, wondering how he could track down his newfound admirer. I volunteer to reenact the person in the car's role (whatever their gender- I will
dress in costume if need be. I would also like to be holding a giant hamburger.)

Guys, GUYS! This is why we can't have nice things!

Seriously, though. Your nonstop bickering is making others uncomfortable. Stop it. We're all presumably adults. Ignore each other. Please.

For every mystery, there is someone, somewhere, who knows the truth.

Fascination: YES, with me, I do imagine my life with a true crime narration at times. I notice it when I do things out of the ordinary, and I can imagine a stack-life voice announcing to the audience that "on this particular morning, CDR was noticed driving west to work, not east, as he does typically each morning".

Or say, if you like to live in a very clean house (no pun intended), and you realize how messy your house has become, and I can imagine someone discovering my house and noticing laundry hasn't been done, the dishes need to be cleaned, etc., AND believing someone else has been in the house after me. Maybe Stack would say: "the house was messy and disorganized, atypical of how CDR typically kept house".

So, to answer your question, YES I do imagine myself at times living in a true crime show.

Excuse my absence for the next week to six weeks, I will be in a psych ward.....

Parking in an isolated rest area to use the bathroom and take a quick nap and having a beat up vehicle pull up nearby and beam their lights at my car. UM scenarios of being robbed and/or dumped in the boondocks going through my head, I left quickly and only used 24 hour Walmarts and truck stops.

I think that most people are cautious about rest areas and going to ATMs at night, those are general safety precautions but some of the 'victim of circumstance' UM segments heightened those fears. I hear Stack's narrative whenever a coworker brings in doughnuts or chicken wings to share....

I'm glad I'm not alone! Will try and think of you all next time I'm in an extra scared for no good reason situation!

These specifically. I drove all the way to Oklahoma from D.C. and passed some of the sketchiest rest stops I've ever seen. I saw one in Tennessee that made me think of Dexter Stefonek.

Walking, or jogging during the early morning and being the only person outside makes me think of U.M. Just that eerie feeling of someone coming out of nowhere making you disappear.
