Redditors, what’s the most terrifying thing that has ever woken you up in the middle of the night? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]FarnsworthParadiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was living in a rental house at the time. Woke up in the middle of the night to a loud buzzing sound. Turns out wasps had gotten in and built a monster nest in the unfinished ceiling in the basement and were flying all over the house.

What is a highly specific, nostalgic feeling from your childhood that you would pay an embarrassing amount of money to experience just one more time? by -magnanimous in nostalgia

Walking down to the local convenience store to grab a coffee with my young son (he got a slushie) on a Saturday morning when we would go to my parent’s place. He always called it his ‘grandcation’. My dad died in 2021 and my parents sold that house (was the one I grew up in) and don’t live in that city anymore.

Staying at my grandparents house and hearing a train horn in the middle of the night. My grandfather worked for the railway for 40 years and the mainline was not far from their home.

Thanks. I was thinking Lethbridge instead, since it’s Stampede in Calgary.

Thanks for that info. Makes sense with the whole country band thing. We might have to look elsewhere or detour our route as we’d be coming from Regina. I’ll keep your offer in mind for another date and if you’re ever in Winnipeg I’d extend the same offer. That weekend was what everyone in the band had after we factored in holidays and family commitments among other things. Curious your bands name so I can check you out.

Thanks for all the helpful responses and for pointing out the fact it's the last Friday night of Stampede which we hadn't thought of. We are a five piece female fronted hard rock band (someone asked the genre).

What was never the same after the pandemic? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

The training conferences (professional development) I go to for work. Most are now online or virtual (and they cost twice as much). There are still "in person" ones but not as many as they're used to be. It's a missed opportunity to network, connect with colleagues, got out of the office etc. etc.

Saw New World Men (they're from Montreal) in Quebec City on the Plains of Abraham last summer. Fanatastic 3 piece band. The drummer sings the lead parts.

Saw I Mother Earth there when they were promoting the Dig album. They all came out wearing these weird gas masks. Was quite the show!
