I would be amused if i ran into something like this :smiley:

Reminds me of the time i worked at a coffee shop and sometimes people would get a combination of innocuous things that’d ring up at $6.66 and 99% of the time people would freak out and ask if i could add a penny to the transaction or if they could add something to the order. Bruh its just numbers.

Sounds to me like someone just lobbed it over the trees, but the scribbles on the forehead looks like some weird Qanon stuff. /s

Wait, let me get this straight. Someone was (supposedly) freaking out because what is clearly a Funko plush doll (retail price $6.49) was tossed into their yard?

If this is an attempt at viral marketing, it’s pretty pathetic.

I’d just be slightly annoyed that someone was throwing their trash in my yard.

Right?

It’s not even the good ‘Pennywise,’ played by Tim Curry.

Grab a pair of gloves, bag it, and pitch it in the trash can on the curb.

No melodrama required.

A more menacing plush, even:

Though what would have been more disturbing than these mass-produced things is any kind of hand-made doll, no matter how cute:

A personalized handmade doll, even; made from some of the recipient’s own clothing or belongings… now that would be worth getting all creeped out over it.

Oh, now that’s actually, seriously creepy.

That might actually be overkill.

I mean if you’re going to creep someone out… :thinking:

Those would not only be harder to obtain, but now you’ve traversed over into ‘voodoo’ territory.
