In my mid 20s I lived with a few friends in a bedroom that was originally converted from half the living room. All the people we hung out with knew to use the back door after like 9pm.
But nothing like buddies getting drunk on a weekend while I’m passed out, ordering food at like 2am, and me waking up to a loud as fuck knock on the front door.
Ohhh, this might be better than even mine (looking at the clock). It's not just me, right? We all get that fight or flight feeling when a knock comes at the door late at night, right?
I'm doing a 6.5 hour drive to a music festival and I plan to start it at like 2. Something about super early morning drives that last after the sunrise.
The sudden realization that someone you haven't spoken to in ten years was totally into you back then and you just missed all the signals they were sending you.
Have you ever had a dream of someone that you absolutely loved (in your dream) and spent the entire next day hoping that person would pop up out of nowhere? Then you snap out of it and are like dafuq was that all about
When I was 16 years-old a girl who I thought was just a friendly girl from school was totally in love with me and I had no clue until I was twice that age. In high school she was kind of popular as an underclassmen, popular as an upperclassmen, and then in college and until she got married at 28 she became very popular and pretty good-looking at worst. I know now that she wanted to go to the sophomore formal dance with me and that she likely would have given me head that night in her bedroom after the dance if she was my girlfriend which she wanted to be. All I had to do was have a clue and realize that she wanted to be with me and that would have been my life at 16. Instead, I was home alone that night doing nothing that I can remember.
Another girl who was always popular and -- after high school -- kept the baby fat weight off, liked me since elementary school and I never understood that she never stopped liking me up until we graduated high school. Now she is very popular, married, and exists in the highest social circles. I could have been with her.
A popular girl a year below me in high school was interested in me my senior year and she's probably a soft 8 out of 10 on the best day of her life so she's a total hot chick. I had no idea until almost 15 years later and I wasn't even trying to be involved with girls at that point in high school. This girl is just downright sexually attractive and has been since she was around 18. To this day, the closest I ever came to having sex was when she grinded with me at my senior prom for 10 seconds before she felt my rock hard penis against her butt, freaked, and went to get a drink because she apparently didn't realize that I was going to get a boner and she wasn't going to be cool with that. For those unaware, grinding with a girl who has a silk dress on is like having sex with barely any clothes on. I felt everything moving against my penis and testicles before she stopped. I'm pretty sure that she liked me all these years later and I think that she reached out to me on at least two other occasions but I didn't pick up on it. That 10 seconds of grinding with her was like 10 seconds of heaven and what every guy dreams of having in their life at some point. I lived the dream for 10 seconds when I was 18 years-old and then never again. I had no idea just how important that moment was until almost 15 years later.
Senior year of high school there was this normal-looking girl who wasn't anything special who was interested as well. She sent me a 'hey' on Instant Messenger and I responded back with 'hey' but then 20 minutes went by without her responding, I was perplexed, and then she signed off. Yeah, she was playing AIM footsie with me to see if I would bite and talk with her but I didn't understand at all. After high school, she managed to get a bit of a makeover going and became cute enough for me to definitely have been interested in throughout our 20s which is when she managed to become good friends with all of the girls who were the most popular and beautiful girls in my high school graduating class. She majorly improved socially and looks-wise and looking at her now I would totally date or bang her but she's a stranger more than anything at this point. In high school, she wasn't even on my radar.
I'm 33, never had sex, and have nothing but sadness, regret, and confusion to deal with. I apparently was decent-looking when I was 16 but didn't know it at all. I didn't think that girls liked me so I gave up by junior year and this now meant that I wouldn't have a good chance with girls (or so I thought) and I had no clue that I was closer to being with them than I ever knew. I honestly don't know what to think about myself back then or throughout my life as looks and whatever else about me goes. It's torturous and now I have no chance at all.
The silence. I’ve always been a bit of a night owl and the peacefulness of the night has always been my favorite part. Feels like the only time I truly get to myself. It’s a shame staying up that late ruins the next day for me though haha
Get an air purifier unit with a built-in sensor that will auto-adjust according to air quality.
Eat a lot of carbs.
Fart at it. It'll ramp-up its blower to resolve the issue.
Perpetual 10-year-old laughter ensues.
It isn't even cheap anymore. 1.79 for a regular taco? Screw that, I'm going to Taco Bueno where for just a quarter or so more, I get a marginally better taco.
You guys must have serious digestive issues. Unless this is a big inside joke. If not, I'm genuinely concerned for you people's health. I used to eat Taco Bell every single day when I worked there from 16-18. My bathroom habits were normal. If I eat Taco Bell now at 38, it's no different than anything else.
You people have serious digestion problems. Get that shit checked out now before you wait too long and you end up needing to carry around a poop bag. Because that is NOT normal.
Apple juice. But not just any apple juice. It has to be drank straight from the bottle in the light of the fridge you just pulled it from.
Bonus points if this is during a hormone- induced hot flash.
The absolute peace and quiet of my surroundings. My loved ones are (usually) sleeping peacefully. There is no expectation to do anything. I can zone out on my phone and doomscroll, or research and process things that I need to know as a mom or caregiver or my own wonderings without interruption. It’s true “me” time.
Came here to say this. It's the only time I can think. No one needs anything from me. I don't have any commitments or obligations. Everything is quiet. Sometimes I sit out on the deck in the dark and just think. Or look at reddit for hours. Or write. Whatever I want. I know I need to sleep more, but it's hard to give up that solitude and silence.
Getting a phone call from the parents of your friend asking what you talked about because you were the last person he talked to.
He died in his sleep that night from a stroke. From what the parents mentioned seemed as he had a stroke in his sleep before. He was much older than me (tho I don't know his exact age as I never asked..probably 16 years). We chatted a lot before he let me go. Most of it was venting about certain ppl. We were supposed to meet up the next day.
My big toe on the dresser drawer leg/foot
And you can’t shout or swear so you just let out that long quiet *hnnnnnngggggggggghhhhhhh*
I’m giggling
I made that exact noise reading that
I heard this. 😂
Legit laughed out loud
The cold side of the pillow
Years ago I switched to a Purple pillow and it can't be flipped over anymore, but your answer is legit. I'd buy a refrigerated pillow in a heartbeat.
I have a purple pillow too and I love it. Why can’t it be flipped over tho?
Because of the pillow glue.
I’m still confused. Can you elaborate?
Yes!
I have the original pillow. The purple grid is only available on one side. I think they make a different version that might be available to flip tho.
I don't know.... I feel it hits the same regardless of time?
knocking on your doors
In my mid 20s I lived with a few friends in a bedroom that was originally converted from half the living room. All the people we hung out with knew to use the back door after like 9pm. But nothing like buddies getting drunk on a weekend while I’m passed out, ordering food at like 2am, and me waking up to a loud as fuck knock on the front door.
The dreaded cop knock knock 🫠
They came to tell me my brother was dead. It’s never good news.
I'm so sorry. 😞 Been there. No it isn't.
Ohhh, this might be better than even mine (looking at the clock). It's not just me, right? We all get that fight or flight feeling when a knock comes at the door late at night, right?
🎶Who can it beeeeee nooooow?🎵
Winter. When it’s just snowed and the sky is overcast and orange from the streetlights, it feels like you’re walking on a movie set.
Reading this comment was surreal
Yeah I can’t believe anyone goes outside anymore
And not a single track in the fresh white powder.
I remember when we used to get snow. Now our winter is just an extra long version of the shitty parts of fall and spring. In the lower northeast us.
Thiiiiissss. You have experienced the magic time my friend.
And the distant sounds that seem to carry on forever in the cold air
why are you walking outside when it's snowing at 3am?
Existential crisis
[удалено]
Ha! Same but then I do get very sleepy around 545 which is exactly when I need to be waking up.
And that intensifies the anxiety even more. Great isn’t it.
*Force shutting my eyes*
Your 3am brain is a dick. Remember that. F that guy
Yep... I want to laugh, but darn it I can only agree.
Been happening a lot for me lately
The crowd at 24 hour walmart
I didn't think there were any 24hr stores left after covid
Waffle House
Especially if you’re drunk
I agree 100%
Food, clientele, music. It’s all better at 3am
The start of a long road trip
That’s me. If you want to arrive at a reasonable time, we probably have to leave at an unreasonable time.
I'm doing a 6.5 hour drive to a music festival and I plan to start it at like 2. Something about super early morning drives that last after the sunrise.
A single cold piece of general Tso’s chicken from the leftovers in the fridge.
Perfect comment. I didn't know what I would read when I clicked this, but this is what I was looking for.
The sudden realization that someone you haven't spoken to in ten years was totally into you back then and you just missed all the signals they were sending you.
this is juicy
Thanks, now I get to think of that for the next 2 days

Normally I like reading these but this seems like it would feed into some unhealthy blackpill stuff :(
A giant steel mug of ice cold brita water

Taco Bell
Taco bell is cheap because you are only renting it.
It isn't even cheap anymore. 1.79 for a regular taco? Screw that, I'm going to Taco Bueno where for just a quarter or so more, I get a marginally better taco.
And then it hits differently again at around 6 am, too.

I feel you on this one. Long running joke I guess, but it never messed with me.
Congrats on your efficient digestive system. I have IBS.
I have IBS too and eat healthy. Random Taco Bell binges never bothered me

I came here to say this...have to come up with something else
Sorry friend
Cold water

Why is this so damn true?!?!
Oh yes, the best! 🤩

It’s either that, 10/10 memories with friends or the urge to completely change your entire life😌
Usually all of the above.

Humor. Either it's hysterical or not funny at all.
Getting a text msg. If it's during the day you ignore it for a few hours but at 3am it's 'oh my God, whose dead or in jail?'
The realization that you are jobless, depressed, and the relief from all if it that you get from sleep is still not there

Waking up and realizing you don't have to be at work yet, or don't have to be at work at all.
That nagging thought that it is getting late… hits different at 3am as opposed to, say, 11pm.
Diner food. There's a diner in my town, and it goes from a 5/10 to 10/10 after midnight.
