TIFU – i gave my full address to a stranger

r/

Today I fucked up

I (18F) was walking home carrying an 8-liter water bottle — which for me is really heavy. About 5 minutes from home, a guy (around 20) on a bike offered to help. He put the bottle on his bike and walked next to me. We chatted a bit, he asked if my parents had asked me to buy this, and I said “no, I live alone” — which isn’t even true ! I live with flatmates, just not with my parents. It was kind of a slip of the tongue yk, and I realised after saying it that it wasn’t good to say that.

I also forgot to stop him before reaching my house, so now he knows where I live. Before leaving, he asked for my snap, I said no (told him I had a boyfriend), and he was respectful and left.

I don’t think he’ll do anything, but wow, I had zero survival instinct.

TL;DR : I told a unknown man where I live and that I live alone without realising how dangerous it was

Edit : for the people telling me I’m overreacting : I’m not saying that guy is gonna kill me or wtv, I’m just saying that I messed up by putting myself in a situation that COULD lead me to be raped or murdered if the guy turned out to be a creep

    do you normally take a secret cave to your lair?

    would be amazing if this is how the murders in Idaho happened. He didn’t know there were six room mates, and was shocked at all the room mates.

    You know who else knows your address? Every single person walking down the street when you go in your house. I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Its probably fine, but just in case some questions.
    How big was the scar on his face?
    What gangsign was on his leather biker jacket?
    Was his bike a Harley?
    Did his beard even reach the floor?
    How many guns and knives did you occular patdown on him?

    Jokes aside, youre probably fine. And if he does break in he expects you to live alone. Roommates willbeat him up for sure.
