A person who pretends to have close relationships with others, even if they’ve only met a handful of times (or not at all), and frequently guilt-trips people into hanging out with them. The typical "A Bear" thrives on awkwardly inserting themselves into plans and conversations, often claiming they were “totally invited” or making you feel bad for “leaving them out.” They are the undisputed champions of emotional manipulation disguised as friendship.
"Ugh, I wasn’t even planning a party, but 'A Bear' heard about my Friday night and now I feel bad not inviting him."

"We barely know each other, but he’s pulling an 'A Bear' and acting like I’m his best friend from middle school."

"Be careful mentioning plans around her—she’s such 'A Bear' and will guilt-trip her way into it."

Pro Tip: If you encounter 'A Bear,' set boundaries or prepare for a guilt-fueled emotional rollercoaster.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
