today i opened a cupboard that i maybe open up once every 2 weeks to grab a mug. and i saw a lid-less baby bottle on one of the higher shelves in the cupboard. i instantly got scared because 1) i live alone 2) i don't have any children and have never owned a baby bottle!
i rarely have people over and i moved in a few months ago. things i've considered
i rarely have people over and i moved in a few months ago. things i've considered
- that it was left by previous tenants: i put down shelf liner on all of the cupboard shelves and this was sitting right on top of the shelf liner and it was front and center on the shelf, not hiding somewhere in the back
- that someone who has been in my apartment left it here: the only people who have been here are my boyfriend 1 month ago and my dad helped me move in 2 months ago. neither of them recognized it. i haven't put in a maintenance request in the last 2 months
- that i forgot to lock my doors: highly unlikely but possible. even so, why would someone come in and leave a baby bottle on a hard-to-reach shelf?
- that maybe it came from my parents house and it's an old bottle from when me and my siblings were babies: the manufacturing date on the bottom of the bottle is 24/09/10 (sept 9 2010). that is far too late for my parents to have purchased it for me or one of my siblings.
this is really bothering me and i know it doesn't make sense that someone would break into my apartment and leave a lid-less baby bottle. if anyone can think of any other explanations please please let me know. TIA
