Rogue Handshake

Before I begin, let me just say that, yes, I suffer from TSTO OCD. I keep a list of my friends and mark down when they visit. If a certain amount of time passes with no visit, or if I can't visit them for a while, I clean house. It probably sounds bad, but if I can't visit their towns, than there's no FPs for me. HOWEVER, my list also tells me that, if they've been my friend for a long while and a few days pass by, I realize it's unusual and that something must be going on, and I don't touch their town. I don't want to lose them as friends. I really only look for those who make it a bad habit. Or for newbies who come in and then... nothing.

I mention this because, by keeping this list, I managed to find something unusual... a rogue handshake. I found a single handshake from someone who was NOT my friend, and who has never BEEN my friend. For a moment, I thought that someone might have dropped me as a friend and a new person might have moved in... someone that I've sent an invite to a while ago. (I've been sick for the past few days and haven't been on TSTO as often as I'd like. But I still visit my friends everyday, and clear my town at least twice. Still, I've been dropped by one or two. If they kept a record like I do, they'd realize that this isn't my normal self, and that I'm actually quite wonderful. So there! Nah!) Anyway, after flipping through the pages of my friends' towns, I can see that there was no such person.

I was also thinking that perhaps someone might've moved in, collected their FPs, and moved out. But if that's the case, why leave only one handshake? Why not three? I had plenty of dollar signs, menus, etc.

Should I be concerned about this? I still have the name, just in case. But I won't mention it here because it could've been a bizarre accident, and I'm not about to embarrass anyone, or cause unwarranted trouble. I just don't know what to make of this. It doesn't appear that anything else was touched - although I haven't gone over the town completely, yet. I'm one of those who goes by, "a place for everything, and everything in its place," so once I take a good look, I'll know. (That OCD thing, remember?)

Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm really confused by this. And concerned. (I mean, I should be concerned...right?) I've purchased a fair share of donuts, and I don't want to lose anything. But I certainly don't want to cause trouble for anyone, especially if this was just a freak thing.

Still... I'm watching you... :hunf:
