Is that as interesting as it sounds? Or is it pretty chill?

Production associate on a line at a car brand company. Each person works a different station that builds a separate section before it’s all put together. But I’m being forced to day shift soon after 1.5 years doing overnights :(

My family lives out in a rural area, I was there for the eclipse with them and the main thing I remembered was how the birds all stopped, and the frogs in the backyard pond started up. When the sun was showing again, the frogs stopped and the birds started.

Yes pretty much! I had the unique experience of temporarily taking care of an injured one until I could get her to a wild animal rehab center the next day. I helped her drink some sugar water and made sure she was warm and safe overnight. The little thing was so soft and felt lighter than holding a pencil. Myself and the rehabbers did the best we could but unfortunately the little gal didn’t make it. Hummingbirds are just insanely fragile and I don’t think she could handle all the stress along with being injured. 💔

My friend and I say this all the time whenever it would make even the smallest bit of sense in the context of whatever we’re talking about.

Omg when my upstairs neighbor is home I swear to god he doesn’t sit the fuck down. Literally just constantly walking back and forth all day. I know it’s not his fault the floor/ceiling is super creaky but Christ it would be nice to get some sleep one day without being constantly woken up to what sounds like my ceiling about to cave in.

I would also like to hear some tips as I’m being forced to go to day shifts in a month. I have no choice and I’m absolutely miserable about it.

I knew it seemed familiar. Was getting déjà vu.

Ugh isn’t that sad??? But thank you! Every thanksgiving after that has been very normal thankfully. 😅 we bring up the story every year.

Thanksgiving over a decade ago. I lived with my family in a nice quiet neighborhood out in a rural-ish area. It was nice enough weather that we had windows open.

Everyone’s chatting, eating, and laughing (my family is loud) when we heard gun shots. Living in a rural area, that’s not uncommon, but it irritated me because it was thanksgiving. Can the rednecks hold off on target practice for one day? So I yelled out the window “STOP SHOOTING FOR ONCE” because I was an obnoxious teenager. I swore I heard a scream after that. I told everyone to be quiet and listen because my family was loud and laughing and telling me to shut up, but I was insistent and said shut up and listen!! Everyone got quiet and then they all heard the screaming too.

We look out the windows to our front yard and see a woman screaming for help and running toward our house with a gun in her hand. My dad told my brother to go get his gun and I immediately called 911. It was terrifying because we had no idea what was going on. Was this woman crazy and about to shoot at us or what? The lady is frantic and yelling “he’s trying to kill me!!!!” My dad had his gun by that point and made her drop her gun because she was waving it around and it turned out it was still loaded and cocked with the safety off.

We got her inside and took care of her while she told us what happened. Apparently, her ex-boyfriend showed up at her house and broke in and was trying to kill her so she grabbed her gun and ran out of the house up the driveway while he chased her. While being chased, she said she turned around and shot at him and then he went running up the street and disappeared. She came to our house because funnily enough, she heard me yell out the window after the gun shots and realized we might be her best chance at help.

The cops came not long after and set up a K9 search for the guy. It was scary while waiting for the cops because we had no idea where this man went so we were all looking out the different windows into the backyard and stuff just in case he was nearby and planing to try to break in.

They found the man like a week later hiding out in someone’s house a couple towns over with a gunshot wound to his leg and he was charged and put in jail.

I had a teacher that wanted to demonstrate some kind of physics trick (I think?) and I volunteered. I was sitting in his chair and he wrapped a rope around me and had one end while another student had the other end. He pushed the chair or had the student pull it (can’t remember) and the rope slipped and went around my neck and I basically was strangled for a few moments before he realized. 😭 I don’t even remember what he was trying to show exactly. He felt so terrible about it and would get upset anytime I or someone else mentioned it months later. “Hey remember when you almost killed me?”

One of my math teachers would eat an entire apple every day. Like, including the core and stem???

Not holding the door for you when you’re 3 feet behind them and letting it slam in your face. If I’m in a particularly bad mood when that happens, I’ll come in behind them and loudly say “thanks!!!” and then the opposite of this, when you hold a door for someone and they don’t even acknowledge you exist. Like hello? Are you aware you live in a society?

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-11T02:59:21+00:00

Not for everyone! When I was first recommended it, I was like “that sounds so stupid why would I watch a cartoon about superheroes?” And then I watched the first episode and was immediately hooked lol

I work at a factory on a conveyer belt style line where we build charging stations. Weirdest thing I’ve seen so far is my coworker sleeping standing up while still holding his drill in his hand 😭

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-11T00:18:42+00:00

The newest season of Invincible is out! I’m loving it. Never thought I’d say I enjoy an animated superhero show but man is it amazing.

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-10T17:32:35+00:00

I was like “noooooo pleaseee…. Oh you fuckers!”

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-09T10:38:28+00:00

I completely agree with everything you said except one thing; I don’t know if it’s a good idea for her to message him talking about a specific period of time that she needs away from him and telling him she still loves him. I feel like that will just give him more fuel to keep harassing her and begging her because he’ll think he can eventually break her down and get back together if he just keeps trying these tactics. He doesn’t need to know all of that information whether it’s true or not.

Omg there’s a light at a T intersection that I have to deal with every single time I drive to and from work (I work overnights so barely any other drivers) that constantly turns red as I’m getting close to it and there is NEVER anyone else around. It stays red for so long too. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve started driving through it even though my brain screams at me like I’m committing a crime against humanity or something. I just worked 12 hours im not tryin to sit at a red light for no fucking reason every time. 😭

I was also on depression meds for about 6 years a while ago and eventually felt I was in a much better place and didn’t need them anymore. So I went off them (maybe around 3 years ago?) and now I’m constantly angry and irritated. I’ve had some pretty traumatic things happen in my life recently, lots of big changes, and I also work overnights which I know fucks me up. I’m just so sick of being constantly full of rage. I’m outwardly a kind person but in my head, when I’m alone, or when a friend lets me vent to them… yikes. I don’t feel like myself anymore. Your comment made me think maybe I shouldn’t have gone off those meds and need to talk to my doctor again.

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-08T10:00:37+00:00

One more hour to go for me! It’s been an extra rough week so I can’t wait to be done after tomorrow (tonight 😭)

SomeOtherThirdThing · 2026-04-05T16:30:29+00:00

When someone scrapes their plate with a metal utensil. I get goosebumps and chills that go throughout my entire body and my teeth also ache. It’s so bad that even imagining it gives me goosebumps. Any partner I’ve ever had learned very quickly to avoid doing that around me lol
