  • When I was like 12 or 13 I got this toy eyeball that would always look up however you moved it or rolled it across the floor. One night I was getting something from the fridge and saw a box of some kind of Entenmann’s cake in there and had a fantastic idea. There was a little part of the box where you couldn’t see through the cellophane and it was just big enough to hide that eyeball toy and no one would ever see it until they opened the box. Of course I went ahead and put it in there and then went back to watching TV. A few hours later my older sister got home, and apparently had been thinking about that Entenmann’s cake all day at work. I summoned every ounce of willpower to keep a straight face when I saw her go into the kitchen, then I waited… A few seconds later there was a bloodcurdling scream that brought everyone in the house running to see what was going on. My sister came out of the kitchen to find me doubled over with laughter on the sofa. I forget exactly which explitives she shouted at me, but the next thing I saw was that eyeball whizzing past my head at about 90mph, leaving a small dent in the wall behind me lol

    I’m 42 now and she’s 50 and it still gets brought up from time to time lol

    I used to rent this tiny little house from an elderly couple a little over a decade ago. It was their first house when they got married in the late 40s and they’d been renting it out since they moved to a bigger house in the 50s. In all that time the refrigerator has been replaced ONCE in like 1968 and that fridge still worked perfectly when I moved out lol




  • A few years ago I started getting random texts in the middle of the night from some guy who thought I was a girl he’d met at a bar. I guess the guy was kind of a pest so she gave him a made up number that just happened to be my number. I tried politely explaining that I was:

    a. not a girl

    b. definitely not anyone he knows

    and

    c. trying to sleep because it’s 2am

    He seemed to think this was some sort of courtship game and kept messaging me until I finally just told him to fuck off

    This scenario kept repeating itself every few weeks apparently whenever he would get drunk and/or horny in the middle of the night

    It kept going until one night I finally told him I would meet him somewhere and just went back to sleep

    I never heard from him again after that… Maybe he’s still waiting there? 😂
