This morning I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my food delivery, playing on my phone and minding my business. I guess I sat there long enough, hood up, that my building manager didn’t recognize me and thought I was someone trying to sneak in. Instead of talking to me, he sent a building wide message saying, “Do NOT let the man in the gray hoodie inside until we confirm who he is.”
I only realized I WAS the man in the gray hoodie when my upstairs neighbor came downstairs, looked at me, and went, “Bro is this you?” She showed me the screenshot from the cameras. It was literally me slouched like a depressed NPC waiting for a side quest to begin.
I had to walk up to the manager and explain that I live here and he’s literally cashed my rent checks. He apologized so hard he offered me free laundry credits. So yeah I got security warned about myself.
TL;DR: Sat in my own lobby too long with my hood up > building manager thought I was a suspicious intruder > sent a warning about me > neighbor showed me the screenshot > had to tell everyone I’m not a stranger, just tired.
