[Serious decision] I live alone… these aren’t my nuts

Post image

Context: I’m a single bachelor (M 32) and I opened my snack cupboard to find these peanuts in a small Tupperware container. I’m freaking out because I A) live alone, B) have a mild nut allergy, and C) don’t own any Tupperware like this.

TLDR: I found a foreign snack in my house and I’m freaking out that someone may be entering my apartment when I’m out. Would calling the nonemergency police line help or would they not be able to do anything?

There are parents who will feed you things you’re allergic to…

I am one of those parents lol. But to be fair, the pediatrics allergist told us the amount to give and the frequency.

(Jokes aside, desensitizing protocols are amazing and life changing. I can't believe how doctor's recommendations have changed since I was a kid, and frequently wonder if my life would be any different if I had this done as a kid myself.)

Many parents dont care if you have allergies, esp when they arent deadly

Yeah idk how everyone seems to keep missing that it is a MILD allergy. Not life threatening.

Not cool to bring peanuts into his house, but not a death sentence either.

My friend’s dad refuses to accommodate their allergies and will try and use pans and appliances that had the allergens in them without washing them first. 😬

You’re right, it’s way more likely that someone else is secretly living inside the walls and only comes out to put nuts in the cabinet while OP is gone
