Has anyone else noticed a recent shift in their behavior? I’m talking bizarre changes that include, but are not limited to, the following: avoiding eye contact, hurriedly scurrying in their house at the sound of your vehicle entering your driveway, and—weirdest of all—randomly opening their front door, looking out, then quickly closing and locking it. Onl...
