i reached into the murky depths of my most pointless accumulated esoteric knowledge to solve some guy’s UNEXPLAINABLE CREEPY REDDIT STORY THAT HAS HAUNTED HIM FOR YEARS and he didn’t even say thanks, like helloooo i showed u my syndromes pls respond

#tldr he went to basel with some friends on a friday during the summer of 2006 and the place turned into a ghost town after a certain time #like fully 'lights on/shops open/music playing but no-one around' ghost town #they found 1 person in a restaurant who seemed annoyed to see them then served them gross food and disappeared #AND IT WAS SPOOKY #even hearing the year 2006 activates my football fan sleeper agent programming so #and im like. oh bro the friday ur talking about is probably june 23rd when switzerland was playing s korea in the world cup #it was an extremely important game which decided whether they were going to progress to the knock out stage so EVERYONE would have been #watching it and also town would have been quieter than usual anyway bc the wc was being hosted in germany like an hour away #(in yuro towns its extremely common for EVERYONE to down tools and watch the game if ur country is playing no matter what or when) #the waitress probably came out to stretch her legs at half time and they served whatever slop they could get out in less than 15 min #and she was pissed she might miss some of the second half #and he didnt even acknowledge i had solved this mystery that had been plaguing him for 16 years #they should have hunted him through the streets for sport (swiss ppl are like that anyway)
