The Peanut Butter Mystery (1 Viewer)

[Jill Hives]

It's still unsolved. After 2 days and sleepless nights of trying to think of anytime or anyone I have mentioned peanut butter, I have given up. I'm beyond baffled. I do know (according to the woman who took the box) the person who dropped if off was male, mid to late 20-30's, average height, with short dark hair. Yeah, that's pretty much describes most men of the country. Everyone I know claims it wasn't them, not to mention they would have just given it to me instead of leaving it at work. Plus they would know me enough to realize how much it would bother me without a note. I just have to accept I'll never know.

So I figure it's someone who posts or at least reads here because this is the only other place I know people. Or more importantly, people know me. So to that person: Thank you, it was a very sweet thing for you to do. I'm actually rather touched that anyone would remember and go out of their way for me, especially lugging heavy peanut butter jars overseas.

so there was no cctv footage? maybe mention specific things you'd love to get to different groups of people, that way it'll narrow your search.

Did you try calling Robert Stack? Although he might be a touch past helping these days.

That's just too weird....

Well, I'd really like a concert ukulele, a pair of knee boots from Duo, a mega ipod to put everything I own on it, an Airedale puppy and a lamb. Someone get on it!

anyone remember this film?

Slightly, but I have no doubt it was meant in a nice non-creepy way. I could think of many things that would have been way creepy. Peanut butter, not so much. Or at least that's the thought I'm sticking with.

Are you sure it wasn't a courier? I know they'd probably have to sign something or whatever but if you really don't know who it was it could have been a delivery maybe

i was thinking more along the lines of macaroon bars or green fluffy pens.
a pet lamb or lamb chops?

If I have a secret admirer I would like them them to leave this for me in work...

thanks in advance

Well the woman who took the package didn't need to sign anything. Just said the person came in and dropped it off. Still, no postage so it's from someone who lives here. I know only a few people and all of them claim it was not them. Plus why would they have it delivered and not just give it to me? Believe me, I have spent hours on this in my head. Just a random nice thing from a stranger or semi-stranger. When it comes down to it, I've done nice things for people I only kind of know. It's the not taking claim that slightly bothers me but at the end of the day, it's still very nice.

Pet lamb! No chops!

are you telling yourself this cos you caved in and ate it, and now you're not feeling too good but refuse to believe this is the cause (the lady doth protest too much and all)?

Nope. It's still just sitting on my desk.

if there's a foil cover on it then put the jar in water, dry it off then crack it open, if there's water in there its been tampered with, if not its good to go.

Ha! Good thinking. Here I'm trying not to be so cynical and am just trying to look at it as someone in the world wanted to make me smile. So, I'm smiling.... and will now put them in water before opening.
