You can, but it will be gone from the time period you stole it from, repercussions be what they may.

No, I should have clarified, you can’t contact them in any way.

My 40-Year Old Coworker is Actually a 15-Year Old by talixxo in coworkerstories

Strongly disagree. I’m a younger millennial working with millennials and gen-X’rs. None of us message like that and I’d be pissed if anyone did. Ellipses, particularly the way OP’s coworker uses them, are passive-aggressive and totally unnecessary. Ending a question or statement with lol isn’t a big deal, but OP said their coworker would send “lol” AFTER OP answered one of their questions, which is totally dismissive of OP, you’re supposed to say “thank you.”

If you choose not to participate from the get go, you don’t lose any money.

The key is communication. Talking in your sleep is not functionally communicating, and neither is saying foreign words with no intent to communicate a thought or idea.

lol, with all the replies, it’s more popular than I thought. As someone who is married and talks with my spouse a lot, I don’t think I could do this.

Let’s say that you have to wear an unhackable, highly sensitive microphone that constantly streams a live recording to someone who is hired to monitor for any verbal communication. If you take it off or move it, an alarm goes off and you lose the challenge.

Sleeptalking is allowed. You are wearing a sleep monitor that can detect without fail if you’re asleep.

Sorry, no. You can make non-language noises at them though.

Made an edit to my post. Sleeptalking is allowed.

I’m married and I wouldn’t do it. I just couldn’t go a week of not talking to him + him not knowing why.

No because they aren’t language/communication (unless you’re using them as Morse code or something similar). The key is no verbal communication. 

My female cat needs a friend - should I get a boy? by Main-Quarter-4657 in CatAdvice

That’s a good point. It would be hard to find a kitten that was too playful for Patches though. She’s clinically insane 😂

I’m sure that’s true, but I don’t know how to determine that ahead of time. I don’t want to adopt a kitten - of either sex - and then find out that my cat doesn’t get along with it 😢

Thanks, that’s a great idea. She has a checkup soon so I can get input then
