A reply guy on my cousin's wedding post got caught by one dumb detail
My cousin posted wedding pics in June and this account with a stock photo and a weird handle dropped a comment about how "the venue choice says a lot about a couple." I clicked the profile and every reply was posted between 11pm and 4am for 40 days straight, which no real guest at a wedding is doing. I screenshotted the timing pattern and dropped it in the thread, and the account went quiet within an hour. Not everyone buys the "bad grammar" test though, since plenty of real folks type sloppy. What's your go-to clue, the post times or something else?

Honestly the post times thing is what flipped me. I used to roll my eyes at people playing detective over reply timestamps, figured night owls are just night owls. Then I looked at my own account and realized my late night posts are random, like 11pm one night, 2am a week later, not 11pm to 4am every single day for 40 days. That kind of steady block where a person should be asleep is a schedule, not a habit, and that's the detail that got me.
