awkward

chelc:

there was a doorbell ring, I suspected it might be con ed, i didn’t answer it, someone else in the building did. when he came to the door I was already at the peep hole peeping.

He stopped and knocked.

Man: Con Edison

rang the doorbell.

Man: Here to read your meter.

Man: I can see you looking at me.

Chelsea: Can you come back another time!

UGH!!! I ALWAYS SPY OUT OF THAT PEEPHOLE!! SINCE FOREVER!!! YOU CAN SEE MY SPYING EYE?!?!?!!?!?!!!! This is a blow.

You can see a small amount of light through the hole, so that when somebody puts their eye to it, it goes dark. That’s why some peepholes have a cover: from the outside they always look dark.

Of course, he probably just said, “I can see you looking at me” to the door, not sure if anybody was on the other side, but hoping you would give yourself away. Like a magician announcing that he will pull a rabbit out of every hat he reaches into, eventually he’ll be right.

Next time: call his bluff, and don’t answer.
