This is Bob, and Bob don’t take kindly to strangers in his neck of the woods. In fact, Bob lives out in the middle of nowhere specifically because he doesn’t like anyone—he doesn’t like traveling salespeople, he doesn’t like Avon ladies, he doesn’t like people dropping unexpected packages or court summons at his house, and he doesn’t like tourists or hikers or campers or troops of any sort. Bob has built his entire life around being alone—except for the company of his dog Rufus, of course, who is just the best dog ever. While some people might say Bob takes his antisocial behavior a little too far, in his defense, he does spend almost all day going around nailing up “No Trespassing! I Hate You! Go Away!” signs all over his woods, so if people don’t take him seriously and think he just needs a cuddle to cheer him up and that he's not actually a dangerous psychopath, well, that’s not his problem at all. You don’t put up a sign like that if you don’t mean it.
