Thought Puzzle
Here's a little thought puzzle. You have a house, and inside the house, you have...oh, some costume jewelry. It's not particularly pretty, or marketable, but you love it, it's yours. You keep it locked in a special box; it has a secret compartment in it, and that's where you keep your emotionally precious costume jewelry. Now, pretend you have to go out of town and you hire a house sitter. The sitter seems trustworthy enough. You leave the sitter with your house, fully believing all will be well. Fast forward to your homecoming. You thank the sitter, and pay them and send them on their merry way. You go about your business. There's going to be a party, so you go to your special box to get your costume jewelry. Imagine how hurt and angry you are that it's all gone! You call the sitter and ask if anyone else has been in the house; no one has, so who's to blame? "It's your fault," the sitter tells you. "You just left it there. I found it. I took it. It couldn't be helped. It wasn't that great anyway." You remember clearly that the jewelry was locked away in the box. "The key was just sitting there. You were careless. I opened the box and took your jewelry. Get over it. The stuff is ugly." What do you say? This person has stolen something that you hold dear, is criticizing it and is blaming you for being careless. Something to think about...
Final thought: No, I don't think there's an answer.

Was this a friend of yours? Stealing is a crime, and I can't believe the audacity of this person to try to put the blame on you! And if this person thinks the stuff is ugly, why'd they steal it in the first place? (I sympathize for you- I know that sentimentally valuable things are much harder to let go than monetary ones).

I think if it was me, I would have raped that bitch!then, afterward, I would say the exact same thing she said to me about my jewerly.
Haha, I am such an arsehole and disturbed but that's just my (dark) humor side! I need to let it all out once in a while. Dont worry I wont turn to a serial-killer like you-know-who that you scare of!
Random facts about you!

I thought the person was my friend, but I guess I was wrong. Who knows what was going on in their warped little mind. Thanks for your comment.
