Woman considers using finger puppets when going out alone

After going for a walk and feeling a bit spooked from remembering true horrific crime stories that start off with "she was just going for a run (or walk) like she usually does", and then more spooked after listening to a story about strange men just standing in the bushes along a pathway staring at people going by, local woman considers an unusual way of still going out solo to get some air. The idea of finger puppets as her "peeps" came to her from the whole safety in numbers principle when all she wants to do is go for a walk solo to ward off the creepy people. Woman recognizes that yes, this is some bizarre sh*t and hopes that the oddity of it all would allow her to perhaps slip by them similar to acting like a zombie in a crowd of zombies even if you're not one of them, and then lock the door when you make it home, lean against it, and slump to the floor. Creepy people suck.

Apartment dweller considering nicer place with smaller kitchen versus building with good sized kitchen but filled with creepy men

When leaving apartment door to do a garbage chute drop in apartment hallway, apartment dweller temporarily froze when she found creepy "Bruce Willish" (the name given to "not Bruce Willis but has some uncanny similarities to Bruce Willis, but much creepier" man) in the hallway with three dogs. Creepy Bruce Willish mentioned that the dogs were friendly, but woman with garbage didn't mention that it wasn't the dogs that was concerning her, it was Bruce Willish. Fortunately, the elevator came seconds later, bringing awkward moment to an end and the temporary departure of Bruce Willish and dogs. Woman was able to reconvene in garbage drop off once the elevator doors closed.

In a related story, the same apartment dweller discovered that a former creepy resident had actually not moved out, but that she had successfully managed to avoid him for some time without having to use rock climbing gear to repel down the side of the building. (Apartment dweller reminded of saving funds to move.)

Sarcasm mistaken for sincerity in entertainment committee

When an entertainment committee member proposed an idea for hiring clowns for a group of grown-ups, other committee members were perhaps showing too much enthusiasm in their sarcasm when they responded with "Yeah. Sure. That's a *great* idea. Why not ask them to do balloon shaping while at it?"
Not realizing other committee members were being sarcastic, member checked off "clown and balloon shaping" very enthusiastically on their check list.
Later, when people asked why there was a clown making balloon shapes in the parking lot during a food truck event, remaining committee members did a combination of shoulder shrugging, while others just slipped off without a comment.
