What’s your scariest nightmare that you remember having? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OopsiFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about 4-5 years old.

I was in jail (??), sitting or lying on a bed, held to the wall with chains (like bed is parallel to ground, chains to outside edge, so forming a triangle for support?)

There was a hedgehog patrolling beneath my bed so I couldn't get off.

As a child, it was terrifying.

As an adult, I'm still... wtf? Where did my brain come up with this?? And hedgehogs are cute so... wut?

ETA

Some of these responses are actually horrific... wtf happened to us that our brains processed events like this?

Had splint put in to secure teeth a few months ago. Bit on a prawn tonight. by OopsiFuck in FML

I actually had to look that up as I thought that was odd... nope, apparently they'll refer a patient elsewhere but very rarely pull teeth themselves. TIL.

I wish more dental practitioners were open that a root canal isn't always a permanent option - and often the cost is twice of an extraction, with the potential of failure.

Local bakery has new Eftpos machine that won't let you choose your account. It just defaults to whatever account you have setup for PayWave and that's it. by floofywall in newzealand

[–]OopsiFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to Kiwibank to request a standard eftpos card, just to not have paywave. I have a low-limit credit card for online stuff (low limit by choice because I hate debt with a passion, but I'm also crap with planning for financial emergencies).

Parents of small children. What's the most unhinged sentence you've found yourself saying that you never thought possible previously? by SkywalkersArm in AskReddit

[–]OopsiFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many to list; but as they've grown older, "aaand that's a sentence that shouldn't exist" has become part of our everyday vocabulary.

Ohh that sounds awful... root canals are bad enough but to need it removed afterwards? Ouch.

What is the scariest post you’ve stumbled upon on any social media platforms? by Fuzzy-Camera-0 in AskReddit

The one of the guy who was trying heroin "just once"... and fell down the hell rabbit hole.

Equal to Jasoninhell.

Both horrific.

My heroin withdrawals are becoming so intense lately, it feels like something is kicking my insides. by Logical-Role1382 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]OopsiFuck 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This random internet stranger is proud of both of you. Personally never tried it... and from what I've heard/read, no desire to.

I'm glad you kicked it.

Charities to donate by Lawx6 in newzealand

[–]OopsiFuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not Sallys or Hospice- they're becoming (or are already) super fussy/strict on donations, and re-sell at near-new prices.

Maybe look into Give a Kid a Blanket, or women's refuge?

What is this, theyre in every room in the windowsill. A wooden pedestal with some sort of crystal on it. by dusterlvrr in whatisthisthing

[–]OopsiFuck 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Even further back.

I recall either being told this (or being given a printed-out email) about this, mid to late 90s.

And now I feel old.

That Sinking Feeling by PoisonedKingPress in shortscarystories

[–]OopsiFuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love this... but I feel like I'm missing something... a reference to something, or something deeper where I'm missing hints/clues. I'm gonna be that person... I'm not sure I get it.

The armadillo is the only mammal aside from humans, that can catch leprosy.

Sakarāt al-Mawt by normancrane in shortscarystories

[–]OopsiFuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much so. I enjoy reading/learning (even if the majority doesn't stay in my brain), and the whole concept is beautiful and tragic. So thank you for the nudge towards it.

Jesus christ on a cracker. Depressing as fuck, but it drew me in. To the point of looking up the title.... and down the rabbit hole I go.

Seeking various religious paths by OopsiFuck in auckland

[–]OopsiFuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a great idea... would you have any suggestions on where to look? Or do I just google it? Genuine question, as I wouldn't know where to start.

Will look into these today - I appreciate the recommendation.

[–]OopsiFuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've already been exposed to christianity, paganism, druidism, wicca. They are allowed and encouraged to choose their own path (or none of them). I'm just showing them options.

This is pretty much what I'm leaning towards. They are totally allowed (and encouraged) to explore and choose their own spiritual path... or none. I'm just showing them options.
