The groceries thing is funny, but it's really just "what's the likelihood that in X years of living in the same place, your random 5 minutes out of the week are the same as your neighbor's random 5 minutes of the week".
- GuB-42 5y agoIt is actually not random. Most people do groceries on a relatively consistent schedule, for example, on Tuesday at 4:20, because it is the day you leave work early and it is a convenient time to go to the grocery store on your way back home. It means that you can see your neighbors do groceries almost every week if your schedules match, or never if they don't. I noticed that with people I met in the elevator. Some people I met almost every other day, others, never. Since the beginning of the pandemic, things changed, with remote work and constantly changing policies and restrictions, things became much more random, and I meet more people, but less often.
- nefitty 5y agoWhen I learned about this it was funny to me too. My living room has a huge window looking out on the square of my apartment complex. Everyone has to walk by my house to exit or enter the complex. I've sat and watched the window for hours. Literally hours. The closest thing to groceries I've seen is a box of Hello Fresh being delivered.
