[true crime] im listening to a "lets not meet" podcast based on the Reddit board and it just occurred to me

angrbodic
ever since I was a kid, my mother especially has been leery of door-to-door people, demanding IDs, proof of employment even if it was a contractor. the only exception has been companies like CenturyLink

angrbodic
and this story was a group of people pretending to be apart of some gas and electric company and ADT

angrbodic
and then I remembered BTK. totally forgot my mother was living in Kansas during that time, in that area... with my older brother no less

angrbodic
I'd ask her about it... even with missionaries. like, I used to feel so bad for them, I always handed out water

angrbodic
her thing was "yeah, there used to be a guy back when your older brother was a baby that killed people that way" and now im like

angrbodic
orite

angrbodic
I can't even imagine how terrifying that was and plus the added fact that BTK even killed kids

angrbodic
who else has boomer parents that were extra hyper vigilant ?

angrbodic
then she moved back to Colorado not long after Bundy was there

angrbodic
the 70s were insane

angrbodic
I forget what episode it was too, but Marcus Parks from Last Podcast on the Left brought up a point that lead poisoning could have been a contributor to these issues

my mom wasn't quite that vigilant but she was a bit paranoid and taught me to be a bit paranoid too
