Sidewalk doppelganger glitch put me in a weird spot

I was out for a walk and saw the exact same woman with a yellow bag cross the street, then appear behind me seconds later. It felt totally wrong, like a scene skip in a video game. I wrestled with whether to tap her shoulder and point it out or just keep walking and ignore it. Telling her felt like the right thing, but I worried she'd think I was making it up. What would you have done in that situation?

Appreciation post: The old community pot at the diner where I worked felt more welcoming than my solo pour-over routine ever does.

That bit about the community pot feeling more welcoming is so true. I see this pattern everywhere now, where doing things by yourself feels quick but lonely. We get all these ways to make great coffee alone, but we miss out on talking and sharing time. It's not just about coffee, it's how so many daily tasks have turned into solo jobs. It makes me want back the messy, group stuff that really brings people together.
