TALLINN — Mart, a 32-year-old office worker from Tallinn, has convinced his friends that he’s an undercover agent after successfully disabling his ad blocker last week.
Mart learned how to bypass the nefarious software while trying to access an Estonian news site, insisting it was only for essential reading about tram schedules and the latest Balti Laul news. He emerged victorious, declaring, “I can now see the true Estonian internet!”
His friends, initially skeptical, quickly began to refer to him as “Agent Mart”. “I mean, he was honestly very excited about cookies and GDPR. It was a clear sign something was off,” said Tiit, one of his closest pals.
“He’s the kind of guy who’d use the e-Government system just to make sure his inbox is empty,”
Mart’s delusions escalated when he showed up to a barbecue wearing sunglasses at night. “I’m just blending in with the targets,” he said, while trying to hide a bag of leib behind his back. “You never know when you’ll need a snack.”
His friends played along, asking him for secret missions around the sauna. “Mart, could you fetch the towel? It’s a high-stakes situation,” joked Liisa, while everyone collapsed into laughter.
Onlookers are now convinced that his newfound confidence could lead to him joining an actual spy agency. “With his skills on the internet, he might just be the next big thing,” said Aivo, munching on sausages. “Or at least he’d keep the group chat more entertaining!”
At press time, Mart was last seen at a nearby Selver, searching for a “pencil bomb” shaped like a traditional Estonian kohv cup.
