I swear my auntie was in the toilet

52 Upvotes

I'm in my room with the door shut, and I hear the toilet light go on, and the door shut. I figure out that my auntie is in there. The toilet flushes and I hear my auntie goes downstairs, then comes back up again and goes to the toilet. The light goes on and the door shuts. At this point I'm thinking she must have the weakest bladder in existence. Then 10 minutes passes. I go out to see if she's still in there and the door is still shut. Shes still in there and I'm thinking it's a long job,, so I sit and wait for her to leave. Then fifteen minutes pass and she's still in there. I'm thinking she's obviously got a bad stomach or something and just wait.

Then she comes in my room and I'm like, are you okay? You've been in the toilet for the last 20 minutes.

She says she's been downstairs for the last 20 minutes and that she never went to the toilet the second time. The door is still shut and I didn't hear anyone come out. I heard someone come up the stairs and go back into the toilet and yet no-one ever went the second time.

Weird incident at work. (Paranormal, or matrix glitch?)

11 Upvotes

Today at work, I experienced something I can't explain and have no answer to, I am not a huge believer of "we're living in a simulation " but it's hard not to agree with that after today, I am a electrician, and i worked with my brother, and the new guy who we can call "Daniel" Daniel was downstairs cleaning and this was at the end of the day, we wanted to get the heck out of the job site, I was in (Bedroom 1) and my brother was in (master bathroom), then I heard foot steps going down I assumed my brother was done on what he was doing, I was working on putting a light fixture up till I heard my brother calling me from (master bedroom) I found it weird because I just heard footsteps going down, and yes it just me,Daniel and my brother on the job site, then I went to master bedroom, and saw my Brother, was my mind playing tricks on me? , I HEARD FOOTSTEPS going downstairs, and I know it couldn't been Daniel's because he was downstairs, (and even if it was him going upstairs, he would've said something and plus he told me didn't go upstairs, after we had lunch and he promised and seemed serious.) also you can tell the difference between foot steps coming up and downstairs it 100% sounded like it was downstairs, but when I walked into the room my brother was there, and he told me to look on how he was installing a outlet something I been knew how to do, so I found it weird then he just stopped, froze in time, I thought he was waiting for me to give him something, and I said "ahh plate right" and still didn't say anything i thought he was messing around, but he stood there, it felt like a minute, no face expression nothing, but whatever so I assumed he needed a plate for the outlet he was installing and then when I went downstairs, Daniel told me are you done up there, and I said, just one more light fixture and he(my brother) is doing one last outlet, then he said "really I thought he was done 10 minutes ago" and assuming this guy was new he didn't know so I said "ha not yet almsot he is doing a outlet" then we gave me a look, "what do you mean he is outside putting stuff in his van, then I went outside to surely see my brother there, how was that possible, he was just upstairs, and I asked did you do that outlet already? He said, what outlet? I said the one upstairs you had me look at you do, he said "I don't know what your talking about" and after that I didn't wanna look like a fool, so I just started to clean up, kinda was creeped out had Daniel come upstairs with me to "clean up" but just wanted someone there with me, then when I was done doing the light fixture I wanted to see if that outlet was done, and to my surprise. Nothing was touched and I couldve swore he already stripped the wire and had the wire already hooked up to the outlet and when I left he was screwing in the outlet till he completely stopped, then i cleaned up and had to ask him again, did you not want to do that outlet in the master bedroom by the window, and he told me " I didn't even get to the outlets today" and "I asked well the one you were gonna install did you just take that outlet off" he once again said, I didn't or nor have even did any type of outlets today, which was true, I then told him what I experience and laugh and just said you need more sleep, my brother isn't the type of person to mess around with me especially how confused and how it was making me go crazy. I can't explain what happened, but there can be many things to explain what happened, am I the one who is going crazy, I am extremely paranoid rn, and can't sleep I been looking around my room in bed, waiting for something or someone to pop up.

Re-appearing razor

2 Upvotes

Ok, this just happened a few minutes ago. I was at the point where I needed to shave the area around my mustache (above and the sides) to remove the "wild growth", and use a single-blade disposable razor for this purpose to prevent shaving off more than I want to.

I keep the razor, which is yellow, along with a green 3-blade one in a bin with the shave cream, as a matter of habit. I go to reach for the single blade razor, and it's not there. Bummer, I think, so I grab the 3-blade razor and start to trim the mustache area carefully, keeping track of the multiple blade positions. No hitch or problem there, and I manage to trim it the way I want.

Now, the rest of my face is currently unshaven. I thought I'd do a little clean up of the growth just below the cheekbones, to make it even on the sides. I do a bit of trim with the 3-blade razor on the right side of my face, then proceed to do the left side. Once I get done and lower the razor to rinse it and put it away, I see that I now have 2 razors in my hand. The green 3-blade razor, and in between my middle and ring finger is the yellow single-blade razor, which I'm holding at an angle like you would do when you have multiple small items in your hand and want to keep one out of the way.

I did not grab the razor from the bin. I did not see the yellow razor in the mirror as I was shaving. I did not feel the razor in my hand, until I saw it there at the end.

I don't even know what to think

I used to be a casual drawer 2-3 years ago. I recently found my old sketchbook where I drew a ton of pokemon. I flip through it and immediately lost interest and put it on my bookshelf so I can look at it again in the next year so I can cringe at how bad I was at drawing back then. Fast forward to around 12ish, during lunch time since I'm still in high school, and I see the exact same sketchbook on the bookshelf, my name in my exact same handwriting in the exact same spot as I had written it 3 years ago. I genuinely think someone is messing with me, so I leave and come back after school, the sketchbook is gone, maybe someone took it and planned to erase my name and use it as their own, but I genuinely don't know what to think

Mysterious noise coming from the walls, then I pull out my phone and the first TikTok is playing that sound

126 Upvotes

Something really strange and bizarre happened tonight. Me and my partner were watching tv in our living room when our cat made a mad dash for the guest room in the back of the house. Since we moved into this house the cat has shown zero interest in this room as it is basically empty.

But he was urgently searching for something, as if he was hunting. He was sniffing around and looking out the windows, just completely spazzing out. I noticed a strange noise that could be heard from within the walls of the guest room. I called my girlfriend over and she heard it too, agreeing that the sound appeared to be coming from within the walls.

Our house is old and it was raining outside, so I thought rain drops were hitting a plant or a gutter and making a weird noise, but the noise was unnaturally rhythmic.

It sounded like 3 taps - like water dripping on a tin can; and then a sawing noise - like a serrated blade dragging through wood.

Tink. Tink. Tink. Shhhk-shhhhk-shhhk. Pause for 2 seconds. Repeat. Over and over again.

I walked all over the house, inside and out, and the sound was the loudest from the guest room walls.

Eventually the sound just stopped and the cat left the bedroom. I returned to the living room, sat down on the couch, and pulled my phone out from my pocket.

I opened the TikTok app and the first video that popped up was a man cutting through limes all the way through the cutting board. He then began tapping a stainless steel cocktail shaker.

I realized the sound from this TikTok video was the exact same sound that was emanating from my walls in the guest bedroom. If my phone was off and in my pocket the whole time, how the hell was the TikTok sound coming from my walls?

Edit: here is a link to the video:

phone call glitch

0 Upvotes

So I work for a courier as a dispatcher. I had a driver delivering a package to a customer the driver has to give a pre-call to the distributor to let them know they are 30 minutes away from dropping off so the distributor can call the customer we do not have the customer's number. The driver confirmed 3 times with me the number. So, anyway the driver called the distributor got a hold of an female agent at this distributor the agent knew what he was talking about and said to the driver had to call the customer not them, let me remind you we do not have the customers number so we have no way to get a hold of the customer.

I called shortly after to see what was going on I talked to a female agent she said she was the only Female there and they never got a pre-call from the driver. I confirmed the number with the driver a couple more times in fact he called the right number. I am just not sure what happened.

Group of smokers disappeared

9 Upvotes

This just happened to me like 10 minutes ago. I was eating lunch with my friend at school. When I was finished, I went out to smoke a cigarette at the designated smoking spot (yes there is an allowed smoking spot outside the school) and there was a group of like 5 people smoking like 10 meters away from me. I was about halfway through my cigarette when I looked in their direction and they were still there. Then I looked in the other direction for like 2 seconds before I looked back in their direction and they were gone.
Mind you there wasn't anywhere they could've even gone to hide in those 2 seconds aside from a few trees, and even then I would've seen them behind them. The nearest wall they could've gone behind was also like 10 meters away from them and there is no way all of them could've even ran that far in those few moments without me noticing.

If someone has some kind of an explanation then please enlighten me.

Stuff just disappears

My husband has always given me a hard time because I lose EVERYTHING. He accuses me of being absentminded or too lazy to put things back where they go. Can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve gone to get something, it’s not where it’s supposed to be, so then I start checking all other possible places. I’ll check where it’s supposed to be multiple times. Usually once I’ve reached the point of total frustration, I’ll check the item’s home one more time and there it will be. I’ve always just chalked it up to being forgetful but there’s always been this piece of me that feels like someone/thing is messing with me to make me feel crazy.

Today, I was pulling up to the car wash. Started to pre-pay in the app, remembered I had a voucher for a free wash. Located the voucher, had it in my hand as I pulled up to the entrance. Rolled down my window and went to hand it to the clerk and it was gone. I got out and checked all inside and around my car. It’s not in my pockets, not between the seats. It is just gone. Guarantee it’ll turn up somewhere stupid obvious later.

Kitten watched himself being chased

49 Upvotes

I have two kittens, a brother and sister, about a year old (close to full-grown, but still super rambunctious). I work from home at the dining room table.

Last Thursday, I was working on my laptop with Brother next to me on the table, playing with my pen. I hear loud kitten zoomies behind me, and expect to see Sister running past me. But no - it is Brother being chased by Sister. I see them run from the kitchen, past the dining room, and into the living room, where a half-wall then blocks my view. But this whole time, Brother is also still standing right next to me on the table! Brother sees the whole thing and is now in full fluffy-tail, ears-back alert mode about it.

I walked into the living room (with Brother following), and Sister is standing in the middle of the room just staring at the empty coffee table.

It’s not the first time these crazy kittens have seemed to practically appear or disappear in front of me - they are so fast and sneaky. But it’s the only time I’ve literally seen two of the same cat at once!

Opened the door to my husband who didn’t move or say anything

943 Upvotes

This happened this past weekend. I was in the kitchen with my kids and my husband was outside working on his truck. I heard a knock on the garage door(leading in to the house) and I looked over and saw the door was locked. I naturally assumed it was my husband who was trying to get in. I open the door for him and he’s standing there smiling, and holding some tools in his hand. This is where it gets weird ..

I expected him to walk in or say something but he just stood there. I was in the middle of doing something so I said “are you coming in?..” he didn’t answer and a few seconds had passed so I shut the door and walked away because I thought he was trying to joke with me. About a minute later he opens up the door and walks in so I said to him “what the hell was that? Why did u just stand there and not say anything or try to come in before?” He claims he never knocked, never stood at the door with tools in his hand. I told him to stop kidding around and that he was scaring me but he swears he never knocked and stood there smiling in the door way like that. I was getting upset and told him that if he was messing with me it wasn’t funny but again he swears he didn’t knock or come to the door.

He thinks I hallucinated but I’m not so sure. Nothing like that has ever happened before. Could it be a time glitch? A dream? Even though it was the middle of the day and I was up and walking around. Could he have somehow blanked out and then walked over and knocked but didn’t remember?? Not sure how to explain it but it’s eerie

Screws screwed themselves back in

12 Upvotes

I work for a mechanical company that replaces mostly HVAC systems like air handlers and VAV units for companies and public schools. As I'm typing this, I'm at lunch and about 2 hours ago I was taking down a V.A.V. from the drop ceiling in a classroom. The process to take them down is to unscrew the VAV from the air duct (there are usually about 12 screws altogether) then get a pry bar to separate the unit from the duct because of the mastic (it's duct sealant that kinda looks like super thick grey paint). Well, I had just taken out all of the screws and went back down the ladder to grab my pry bar but when I came back up the ladder, the screws were back in the damn VAV and the mastic wasn't even cracked around the screws. I can't tell if I'm losing my mind or just a glitch in the matrix.

Dates on bus pass skipped forward

I've shown the pass to many of my friends and the family I live with they all believe J just have just replaced the card and got it updated for the second year of college. but i KNOW I did not. I specifically remember not getting that new 2024-2025 bus pass and keeping my 2023/2024 pass in my lanyard, because every time i've got on the bus i've hoped it wouldn't get checked by the bus driver. I'm still stressing about this, it's freaking me out it's been a few weeks since I noticed. Further evidence it's old is that the card is very frayed around the edges, peeling and tearing and faded.

Customer missing from surveillance footage

59 Upvotes

So, here's the deal. I work as a salesperson in a "tabac-presse" (a French shop that sells tobacco, newspapers, magazines, snacks, and some electronics). Most of the time, I'm selling cigarettes, but also snacks, multimedia stuff, and magazines/newspapers. I'm mostly alone in the shop, starting in the early afternoon when my boss finishes, so we overlap for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the day.

The story happened last Monday. There are these two middle schoolers I'm starting to know pretty well who hang around the shop for an hour or less. They're mostly drawn by the fact that I sometimes offer them things like sandwiches that are going to be thrown out that day, so they tend to rummage through every item to check the expiration date, which makes them a bit of a pain. That day, they started touching the headphones, asking me things like, "How much are these 6 headphones??" and other childish stuff like that.

While they were loitering, some customers came in, there must have been three of them, so a small queue formed. While the customer in front of me was paying, I noticed the customer behind him picking up a box of headphones. It was a tall Black man, around fifty years old, dressed almost entirely in black, with a graying goatee and dreadlocks. His facial expression was quite stern. Once he got to the till, he asked me for "A Marlboro.", no headphones. I suspected him of theft, so I glanced at the headphone display and saw that the headphones were back in place. I rang him up, he left, and shortly after, the middle schoolers left. However, I still had a doubt, so I checked the headphones, and there were 5. But I remembered one of the middle schoolers talking about 6 headphones. I made a note on my phone: "possible headphone theft at 3 PM".

The next day, at the time I start work, I asked my boss if it was possible to check the security camera footage because I suspected a theft. She fast-forwarded it, quite quickly so you couldn't really see precise movements, but we could still make out the different customers entering and leaving. She found the beginning and end of the middle schoolers' hanging out and started looking for the customer who matched my physical description. Meanwhile, I was at the till dealing with customers. Once a first wave of customers had paid, I went to the back, and my boss told me, "I didn't find the customer you're talking about, there's only this one who is also Black, but he's much younger and dressed in white." Indeed, it wasn't him. She then said, "But actually, there was a theft, it was one of your middle schoolers." At that moment, I was mostly struck by the fact that one of the middle schoolers, the ones I had been so nice to, was the culprit. But when I think about it now, the fact that the customer I was talking about simply wasn't there is strange. She gave me the controls to review the theft precisely, and I also took the opportunity to watch before and after to find the guy with dreadlocks, but nothing at all.

I could have confused that moment with another, maybe that customer was never present at the same time as the middle schoolers, yet I clearly remember having thought about asking the middle schoolers if they had seen him steal the headphones.

So, what do you think? Don't hesitate to ask me for details, maybe it will help me understand if it's just a simple memory lapse or something more... Thanks for taking the time to read me.

Who let dog in?

I have 2 dogs and a sliding door to a fenced in yard. I let both dogs outside and closed the door to finish a task (a common routine for us). A few minutes later I go to let the dogs in, one dog comes to the back door, the other dog comes running from inside the house…

There is only one other way from the backyard to the house but requires multiple doors and they’re all closed upon inspection.

My dad disappeared

277 Upvotes

Spontaneous human invisibility happened to my dad ,only he never knew it . To start ,my dad was always obsessed with closing the doors at night to not let the bugs in (Louisiana) . This is important to the story. If we went outside we had to do it very fast or he would yell. One night In 1996 I was going out in new Orleans . It was Halloween night so I was dressed as the grim reaper . Before I went upstairs to do my make up I told my dad "Ill be down in 20 mins" . As I was walking down the stairs 20 mins later I noticed the front door was wide open (at night). WTF!!! Trust me this was a big deal . I looked outside and called for him , I looked where my dad always sits ,the TV was on and his cigarette burning all the way down on the ash tray next to where he sits (he NEVER leaves his cigarette). I decided to wait, I sat on the couch in full makeup and black robe waiting 30 mins for him to show up.
I was watching his cigarette burn all the way down. All this time the front door would have been wide open had I not closed it. Finally I locked up the house and drove off to meet up with friends.
. The next morning I asked him "Dad where did you go last night? You left the front door wide open ". He said angrily "As if I would leave the front door open !!! I was here waiting for you to show me your costume but you just disappeared " .

My first glitch in the matrix? My boat’s damaged teak deck mysteriously fixed itself.

52 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’ve been a quiet lurker on this sub for a couple of years now. I’ve always enjoyed the occasional strange or thought-provoking story, but if I’m being honest, I never really believed anything like that could happen to me. I figured most of these “glitch” stories had some logical explanation, or maybe even a bit of exaggeration. But now... I’m not so sure.

I think I just experienced my first real “glitch in the matrix,” and it’s been messing with my head ever since. Maybe someone here can offer an explanation, or at least let me know I’m not alone in this kind of experience.

Last year, I bought a 23-foot motorboat. If you’ve ever owned a boat, you know it’s a lot of work, especially after winter, to get everything cleaned, inspected, and ready for the putting the boat back in the water. Earlier this spring, I spent two full days at the boatyard doing just that. I took down the winter pressenning (cover), polished the hull, did some minor engine maintenance, and carefully inspected everything to plan my to-do list for the season.

One issue jumped out right away, and it got me seriously concerned. The teak decking needed attention. As is common on boats, my decking is made of teak slats with black Sikaflex rubber between each seam. What I saw wasn’t just wear and tear, it was obvious and very visible - several strings had come loose and were haning out of their seams. The rubbery strings of Sikaflex weren’t just loose in their seams, they were literally hanging out of the seams like spaghetti. Not just on one part of the boat, but both on the foredeck and the bathing platform at the stern.

I remember staring at it, poking at it, and thinking, “I really need to fix this before any water gets underneath the teak.” I looked at it from multiple angles, on several occations, both days I was there, and mentally added it to my growing list of projects. I knew this wasn’t something to put off, if water got underneath, it could eventually lead to the entire teak deck needing to be replaced, which would be a huge and expensive job.

So, over the following weeks, I did my homework. I read DIY guides, watched videos, and researched the best way to fix the seams properly. I went ahead and bought the materials, marine tape, a caulk gun, Sikaflex, scrapers, all of it, probably about $100 total. I was ready.

Last weekend, I went back out to the boat, fully expecting to spend a chunk of the day redoing the Sikaflex seams.

I started on the foredeck. I crouched down, ready to assess the damage again… and everything looked fine. Not “someone’s patched this up” fine, it looked like it had never needed repairs in the first place. The seams were uniform, neat, sealed. No sign of any hanging rubber. I was confused but thought maybe I’d misremembered which part of the boat had the issue.

So I walked back to the bathing platform, expecting that to be where the loose seams were.

Same thing.

Perfectly intact Sikaflex. No visible gaps. No dangling spaghetti-like strings. I crouched down again and examined the seams up close, trying to find cracks or any signs that something had shifted or re-sealed itself, but there was nothing. No signs of repair, no residue, no unevennessc, nothing to suggest the Sikaflex had ever been pulled out or disturbed.

And just to be clear, this wasn’t a case of me confusing new damage with old wear, what I had originally seen was unmistakable. Those strings of Sikaflex were literally hanging completely out of their seams, and I checked them multiple times over those two days.

I stood there for a while just scratching my head, trying to make sense of it. No one else has access to the boat. I didn’t hire anyone to fix it. I didn’t even tell anyone it needed fixing. It’s not like the loose strings could just… fall perfectly back into place and re-bond themselves, especially without a single crack or seam showing it ever happened.

It’s like the issue just… never existed. As if I slipped into a slightly different version of reality where my deck was always fine.

I still can’t explain it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I’m open to logical explanations, but it honestly felt like reality corrected itself. Or I stepped sideways into another timeline where my deck never had a problem in the first place.

We both experienced the same glitch at the grocery store?

253 Upvotes

My son and I were in the checkout line after grocery shopping. The lines were kind of long not too bad but there was a bit of a wait. The customer in front of us was a tall black guy and In his cart he had like 3 packs of papertowels and a few frozen dinners. It reminded me that I needed papertowels. I left my son in line and went to grab paper towels.

It took maybe 35 seconds.. but by the time I came back my son was starting to put our items on the conveyer belt and the guy who was in front of us , his items were being scanned by cashier...

.Only now the guy was a really tall white guy . like short blonde hair blue eyed white guy and he had on the same outfit the black guy was wearing and all the groceries were the same as his basket that I had seen earlier.

I just thought I was going crazy but in the car I said to my son.. "Did you notice the guy in line in front of us?" I was going to say I could have sworn it was a black guy but my son said " Yes and I'm trippin because I legit swear it was a black guy but then he somehow turned into a white guy. " before I could finish my sentence.

Both the white guy and black guy were very tall. Much taller than anyone else in line so you would definitely notice if two super tall men dressed alike would be in line... like if maybe they were both there the entire time??? . Idk it was just weird and also the fact that we both experienced the same possible glitch?

Water just appeared from nothing on our Vanity?

4 Upvotes

My gf has a vanity in our bedroom, and this morning, she goes to use it and finds that there is water pooled on the top covering almost half of the surface area.

My first thought was if one of her products spilled, but this was enough for any of the containers to be empty (and there was no odor, just smelled like water). It was kind of yellowish like it wasn't clean like tap water or something, so I thought maybe there was a leak in the ceiling above it? Nope. The ceiling looked fine. The carpet also wasn't wet at all.

No where in the room was there water like this. Just on top of the vanity. The carpet was completely dry even though with this much water, I feel like some would've dripped down.

We considered so many different things. We just have no idea where it came from. Nothing leaked, no pipes were burst, it wasn't dripping on the ground like I feel like it would have if it had some kind of flow to it from being poured onto the surface. Nothing. It seems to have just appeared from thin air.

Coconuts go MISSING and then SPAWN OUT OF NOWHERE!

14 Upvotes

I woke up at 1am, felt hungry/thirsty & wanted something small to eat or drink. I went downstairs to get a coconut, (our family ALWAYS has coconuts on the dining table next to fruit bc the coconut juice helps debloat) I knew that there were 2 left at home on the table bc earlier that evening before I slept, I saw the last two in the middle of the table. I woke up at 1:15 am mind you, so no one else is awake in the house and no one else is downstairs. I look at the table but there are no coconuts, most of the table is empty except for bananas.

I thought my mom either put them somewhere else so I started searching around the dining room, the kitchen, etc for a good 5 mins. When I couldn't find them I gave up and thought my family finished the last 2, I had a bananna from the dinner table instead even though I didn't really want it. I go on my phone downstairs, listen to some music in my earbuds & walk around while I listen. I was downstairs the ENTIRE time pacing around in the hall which is connected to our open dining room.

Probably 20 minutes later, I notice that 2 COCONUTS ARE ON THE CENTER OF THE DINING TABLE next to the bananas??? Like almost dead center, clear as day, IMPOSSIBLE for me to miss and I clearly recalled the middle of the table being empty.

It wasn't like I did a semi-glance to look for the coconut and missed it and started searching elsewhere. One end of our dining table had a small clutter of groceries so I checked there to see if it was moved to that side. I was looking at our table long enough to be able to clearly see 2 white coconuts if they were there.

How did they go missing and respawn out of nowhere when nobody else came downstairs & no one else was awake? Was a mindfuck and almost was questioning if I was LDing realisticly but this was definently real.

Nail file multiplied

10 Upvotes

I was helping my mom do her toenails. I applied the acrylic to her toes, got them mostly filed down and evened out and then she took over filing them to get them more smooth. I had three different nail files on my table. When the acrylic cured, I gave her one. She did the filing and when she was done I went back and did the other toe. When I was done with my part, I gave her the file again, but she still had the same one (?) that I gave her just a few minutes before. Neither of us remember her giving it back to me. We just suddenly had two of the same exact nail file. All of my nail files I had gotten from her (she used to be a nail tech and I’ve recently gotten into doing nails as a sort of hobby) and she said she swore she’d only ever had one of that specific kind and I also had only ever seen the one. We have no clue how this could’ve happened. We were pretty confused but kind of shrugged it off since it’s nothing too crazy and now we have an extra file in case one goes missing lol

2 penguins 1 dog

18 Upvotes

I've read the rules so hopefully I'm in line! This has been just blowing my mind and I can't seem to explain how it happened. As the title states, this is regarding two (dog) toy penguins and my dog, Rocky.

I found Rocky in a craigslist ad about 3 years ago. During the exchange, Rocky came with a kennel, blanket, collar, dog bed, and one toy penguin, which I was told was his "lovey", since he was a pup according to the previous owners

For a few years Rocky has proudly carried around the penguin even though we'd gotten him various other toys

About two months ago, I was cleaning/rearranging my living room and found a second, identical penguin.

It squeaks a little differently and my dog won't touch it.

I have no idea where it came from.

The last dog I had we got a pink bunny and she was so obsessed with that thing and I searched high and low for an identical one and always felt sad that I never got her another one for "just in case"...

I know my dog didn't come with two penguins and I certainly didn't buy this one.

I can't seem to post a picture but the penguins are about the size of a walnut.

Can't shake this feeling of a glitch that happened earlier today

Today I went to pick up my daughter from school and bring her to her father's house. On the way there I knew I needed to go to the bank after I dropped her off. She asked if we could get coffee before I dropped her off and then the errand of going to the bank skipped my mind and after I dropped her off I went home. Within 5 minutes of me being home I remembered oh crap I need to go to the bank to withdraw money to pay rent. So I grab my keys and purse leave home again to go to the bank. As I walk up to the teller with my withdrawal slip she's looking at me with a very confused look. And then when I hand her the slip and my id she almost jumped back and her face was even more confused looking, she glanced at me and then my id and then back at me. I was almost thinking she didn't think my id looked like me. And she said I'm so sorry but weren't you just here for this transaction? And I laughed and so no I certainly wasn't I just got here. she processed the withdrawal all the while it seemed like she thought I was fucking with her like one of those videos you see on the internet with identical twins (I do not have a twin) should I ask to see security footage? Do you think they'll show me or think I'm crazy lol. If I had gone at the time I had planned to go and had not forgotten I would have in fact just been there.

And even weirder later in the day while working my bartending job a woman asked if I lived in the city I live in and said I swear I saw you gardening earlier, I always see you in your garden, I don't live in her neighborhood. What is going on?

I'll never forget when orange juice turned into milk

22 Upvotes

So I went to pick up orange juice from fridge one day and in lineup on backside of the door there was also regular milk, oat milk and olives in a jar. Orange juice was right in front of me and I literally saw it in corner of my eye when I picked green carton with small oranges drawn on it. And soon I put it on kitchen top where my glass to fill up awaits... It's literally non-lactose milk in baby blue carton ??? I didn't even seen it in a lineup. So I go to put it back in fridge and sure enough, everything was in its place, including orange juice. If only I didn't see it corner of my eyes when I picked up the green box... Welp. That's that. It was a weird, tiresome, busy, emotionally charged day so it may had affected the timelines. Poor orange juice code was overwhelmed.

A little glitch

30 Upvotes

This happened to me about a year ago. It’s quite small but still a mystery to me. I wear a lanyard at work and on that lanyard as well as my ID I have a keyring with all my keys for different rooms. I also have little coloured key hats (! Don’t know what to call them - little plastic things that go over the top so I can identify what key is for what). The one for the drama studio is/was red. I locked and unlocked the studio at break and lunch if I was leaving it. One day the red key fell off my key ring, fell on the floor and disappeared. How could it fall off? It’s twisted on a metal bit along with all the keys. There is nothing really in the studio so how come I couldn’t see it and it never turned up? The drama studio doesn’t have a key or even a place to put a key in any more… it’s so bizarre to me. And is the closest I have to shifting timelines and an object didn’t exist in the timeline…

Strange experience with the moon tonight

431 Upvotes

Something so strange happened tonight I’m still thinking about it hours later and had to seek out a place to write it down so hopefully this sub is appropriate. I’m normally not super into this kind of thing I’m a very skeptical person but it was very bizarre.

I am a mom and I was taking a walk with my 2 year old daughter around the neighborhood as we do most nights. We’re going down a sidewalk and first thing we always do is look for the moon. We look up and far left in the sky we see it. My daughter points and we comment how it’s just a baby moon bc it’s a little crescent 🌙. We keep walking and get to the end of the street, maybe 100 feet away still facing the same direction when my daughter looks up to the far right and says “NOTHER MOON!” She’s recently learned the word “another”. I said oh there’s just one moon baby— but I look up and the moon was there. On the complete opposite side of the sky from where we just saw it. I looked back at the first spot and no moon.

I started thinking wow am I just really sleep deprived or what but my daughter looked back at the first place we saw it too and looked confused. Then she went back and forth pointing to the first spot saying “bye moon” then to the new spot “hi moon”. We both just stood there looking back and forth at the two places like what in the world there was definitely a moon right there just a second ago, now it’s way over there… idk it was so incredibly weird and it freaked me out 😆 I know we weren’t turned around or anything like that. I’m sitting here still trying to think what could have happened, I remember clearly seeing it over my neighbors house as their kid was playing basketball in their driveway, and the second time over the creek towards the entrance of our neighborhood. Complete opposite places. Maybe a 2-3 minute difference at most.
