🛒 Honey Extension & Emma's Stalker Encounter

The script begins with a sponsorship message for Honey, a browser extension that automatically finds and applies coupon codes at checkout for online shopping. The story then shifts to Emma, who 15 years ago met Dave, a creepy stalker. Dave's initial approach was through compliments on the bus, but his behavior escalated to following her to school and joining her classes. He began leaving anonymous love notes and pictures in her locker, and claimed to be her boyfriend. Despite warnings from school staff, Dave's actions intensified, culminating in him throwing a glass in school and later appearing at her bedroom window. Emma's attempts to involve adults and the police were met with limited success, as Dave's actions were not overtly threatening enough to warrant immediate action.

👮‍♀️ Police Involvement & Dave's Disappearance

After Emma reported Dave's stalking to the police, they increased patrols but could not catch him in the act. Dave's late-night knocking on Emma's windows and doors continued, and he sent her more pictures and notes. At her wit's end, Emma confronted Dave on Facebook, showing him the police station and a report she filed, warning him to stop. Surprisingly, Dave agreed and disappeared from her life. The script ends with a rhetorical question about whether the mac and cheese that triggered the recent encounter was worth it, and concludes that Emma never saw Dave again.
