Woman sees a piece of paper underneath her windshield wiper and thinks it’s a ticket. Then, realizes it’s a note from someone she knows
Valid crashout
When it comes to your closest friends, rules really don’t apply. Sure, you are constantly on the edge, thinking about what their next step is or what yours can be, but that is all in good faith when boundaries aren’t crossed. Breanne (@breannerodgers) shared insight in a TikTok video into what it feels like to have friends who repeatedly test your patience, in a good way.
While sitting in her car, Breanne said that as she walked toward it, she noticed a piece of paper under her windshield wiper and immediately thought it was a ticket. However, she ruled it out when she realized there was no reason she should get one. “No, I wasn’t parked in a handicapped spot. There’s no reason I should be getting a ticket,” Breanne said.
After that, the second thing that crossed her mind was that she was being targeted as part of a sex trafficking ring. For the uninitiated, it is common for perpetrators involved in sex trafficking to demand an individual’s, especially a woman’s, attention in ways that would prompt them to come out of their vehicle so they can be kidnapped. “And I still grabbed it. And, you know, if it’s sex trafficking, you should not grab it,” Breanne said before noting that it was a receipt for UPS.
Her next thought was that the paper was laced with fentanyl and that the moment she touched her face after handling it, she would “die from a drug overdose.” Breanne said she then noticed something at the back and thought it was someone’s poop.
The big reveal? It was a note from her best friend, saying, “This is not a fine, but you are.”
“Let’s go get diagnosed”
Breanne’s video gained significant traction, with more than 100K views. Several people also commented on the video, sharing their thoughts on the matter.
Some people in the comments section seemed to pick on Breanne’s rapidly changing train of thought and opined on it. One user said, “Girl I’m bored.. let’s go get diagnosed.” Another user wrote, “i think just like this and other people would call it mental illness but i would call it survival skills.”
A few others spoke about their own experiences of being pranked by their friends. One user mentioned how her guy friend had scared her while trying to prank her. She wrote, “One of my guy friends put a colored hair elastic on my front door door knob once and didn’t understand why it scared me. His dumbass was thinking it was a harmless prank that’s leave me confused and I thought my house had been marked bc I’m a woman that lives alone.”
Another user spoke about pranking their mother-in-law. They said, “I left a note on my MIL’s car with a picture of Sid the sloth saying “it’s the last dandelion” along with a real dandelion. Love that sh**!”
Meanwhile, someone pointed out that Breanne’s fears are not exaggerated but valid. They emphasized, “ik this is comedy but can we take a moment to acknowledge how sad it is that all of these “overreactions” are valid because these threats are very real?”
Sadly, this isn’t far from reality, as shown by data and social media stories. In 2021, the International Labor Organization reported 27.6 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. While statistics on fentanyl-laced substances are scarce, their existence is well-known. Fortunately, none of these dangers affected Breanne.
