Basically a roundabout way of asking: How much do people really care about you?
I know I could vanish for like 48 hours and my parents and older brother probably wouldn’t even want to look for me (I’m around 18-25, not a minor so they have no legal responsibilities). Nobody in the world cares about me. I mean they already told me that in my face that if I went missing, they won’t care.
About fifteen seconds, since that’s how often my kids ask me for stuff.
As a parent of two young kids, there’s definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.
Nice try, ICE.
talks into the radio
“the jig is up, TAKE THEM! And also burn their citizenship papers”
Sadly, they would miss me at work before anything else
Unironically might be a month or two for me
By the first evening by 9pm, when they didn’t get dinner.
I would take that “we don’t care” as an invitation to leave and start a new life with people who do care. Nobody should say that out loud, what assholes, but since they don’t need you, you are free.
I think people would notice early (work would definitely be the first to know), but would take a while to actually report something.
I think it’s pretty universal; people don’t want to make a fuss or be a bother… like it would be embarrassing or something to report someone missing for not showing up to work, or missing a gym session. Not to mention the not-so-missing will probably feel quite upset about getting reported missing because they took an unprompted nap or lost their phone.
It’s not strange for adults to not answer their phone, and in NPF-circles it’s even less strange for someone to go into social hibernation with very little warning.
Unfortunately this will lead to (single household) adults being missing for longer before people get worried enough to actually tell someone, and then they’ll try to get in touch with other friends or family before the actual police.
I have a job, a wife, and a kid, so I’d expect almost immediately. Especially if my phones go dark.
I guess it depends on the time of day. If it was morning, probably 6 hours because my kids would now be home alone, and as soon as my wife gets home in the afternoon, there’s no way she doesn’t freak out. Maybe even less since my one kid has a phone that can only call my wife. We have so many things we do every day that if any of us went missing, it would be a huge red flag pretty quickly. Thinking about it now, it feels kind of sad. I like freedom, and right now, I guess I have very little of that, lol.
Lol I remember my dad having an argument with my mom in the morning so he just noped out of the house without anyone noticing he left the house, and didn’t respond to phone calls until late afternoon. I think he was having a mini-vacation lol.
Around 24h on a weekday.
Up to 72h on a weekend.
It would probably take a few weeks, or a lucky text from a family member for anyone to ever realize i went missing. I’ve thought about it a lot
I don’t think this shows how much people care about me. This would show how much people depend on me. I’m the breadwinner and major organizer of my family. They’d fall apart within hours.
I work from home and always tell my husband when I’m going out. He works from the office 1-2 days a week and is home other days. So depending on the day it’d take minutes or around dinner time. Although he’d probably text my phone and wait for hours before contacting others.
I don’t leave the secure area much, but I get the question.
I have an airtag on my keys and my wife probably has geofencing because I don’t go far. She’ll have the cops on the phone inside of 2 blocks. This area has a Lot of cameras so they’ll have a leg up. And until they go through my pockets and ditch the air tag, she’ll have a trace on them.
I need a deadman switch… maybe watch a log file for a program I use daily or something.
“If you’re reading this, they got me.”
I’m a bachelor living alone with family in town, it could be anywhere from 2 hours to 2 weeks.
