Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most frightening things that woke people up in the middle of the night. Night time is full of unexplainable moments of spookiness. Sometimes we partially wake up, and experience those chilling moments of sleep paralysis when we're absolutely convinced that there's a demon homie chilling at the end of the bed. Or, maybe it's that pleasant moment when a poster falls off the wall and you spring awake as your heart leaps outside of your chest.

There's something undeniably scary about discovering a hidden passageway. Our imaginations can give way to entertaining all kinds of horrifying possibilites that could explain why someone would be compelled to hide that staircase from plain sight, or put a deadbolt on a door that goes to a spooky attic. In this case, it seems like someone was very likely just messing around, because of where the scratch marks were located.

Things escalate extremely quickly when this random dog decides to attack a child, but this cat just comes screaming in out of nowhere and puts a stop to it. It kind of bucks the stereotype that all cats are asocial narcissists.
With just a little bit of strange perspective, the human eye can be confuzzled into making you think you're looking at a giant man, an octopus-dog hybrid, or dangerous cliff when you're really just looking at a dude, some puppies and a tree. It's fun to take your brain for a spin and gander at a pile of double-take-causing illusions of warped perspective.
Many of us have had that moment where you're talking to a friend or family member and then BAM, they hit you with their stupidest beliefs. After watching a single fringe Youtube video they now think they're an expert who's done "research." Sometimes they snap out of it, like this Anti-vaxx mom who switched sides.
Life manages to produce an unpredictable and wide variety of unforeseen chaos that we just kind of have to deal with. Sometimes it's as arbitrary as having your mailbox exploded by lightning, and sometimes it's as small and disheartening as realizing you just tried pouring something into an upside down glass. Life has its messes large and small.
The world is full of delicious looking things that aren't actually food. A pickle chip could be a turtle, ice cream could actually be spackle, and caramel could end up being an eraser. Some things, even dangerous and prohibitively crunchy things, end up looking like delicious food.
Nothing like some two-sentence horror stories that waste no time in trying to frighten their readers. It's as if the shorter horror stories can be even scarier than the long winded, drawn out tales we're more accustomed to. These certainly left some lasting, unnerving images in our heads. Check out more spooky two-sentence horror stories over here.
This customer with absolutely no chill couldn't be bothered to be helped by any woman in the company. Eventually he got his wish, but it was far from helpful. For more customer stories, here's one where a boss reality checks awful customers and one where a Karen was defeated with overwhelming kindness.
Leave it to Tumblr to let one image of fun pizza inspire a way-too specific story of exactly how a story of one "fun-pizza" could go own. It's uncanny how easy it is to picture all of this. For more tumblr food stories, here's a thread on why super coffee is not a great idea, and a very creative story about sandwich demons.
For some reason tons of people think that the worst thing that can happen if you don't follow a doctors orders is that they'll get caught and be scolded. But no, there's an actual reason a medical professional tells you to do something. Medical professionals see through lying patients all the time, and patients still try to deny the stupid things they've done.

In lieu of having fans in the stadium, the Japanese baseball team Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks has opted for a robot song and dance number that is about as technically intriguing as it is creepy.
Tumblr has got a raging petard for medieval battle tactics and the consensus seems to be that what the past lacked in sanitation, it made up for with cool swords and unconventional weapons. Sometimes you see some gizmo an Italian blacksmith threw together six hundred years ago and all you can think is "that is badass." Who knew history could be fun.
The world has its fair share of entitled folks and their frustrating demands, but sometimes it gets worse than someone just wanting a discount for no reason. Sometimes people's approach to haggling is writing out their intent to come over to your house and mess you up. It's pretty stupid. For another ridiculous person who wanted a deal, here's a choosing beggar raging after rejection and getting shut down again.
