The scariest day of my life was the day I woke up in the middle of the night in my loft apartment with someone sitting at the foot of my bed and another one downstairs pacing back and fourth. For the first 2 minutes I was paralyzed with fear. I could not move. I still have nightmares about it. Please lock your doors.

A woman two doors down from me had a somewhat similar thing happen to her. She woke up to get some water and someone was standing on the other side of the bedroom door.

It was her ex boyfriend who was secretly living in her house without her knowing (she had just returned from China).

I guess she surprised him with the door opening because he was a bit unprepared. He pushed her in the closet, went to the kitchen to get a knife to kill her, giving her just enough time to hit the 🆘 button sequence on her iPhone.

Cops came (fortunately for her, we live near a rev center that is also a parking spot for cops on their breaks, so he got there super quick), heard screaming, confronted the dude, who then lunged at them with the knife. That was the last thing he did.

Turns out the dude had emptied his elderly parents bank account a short time before, leaving them destitute. They both jumped off a parking garage in a joint suicide. Dude had some issues to say the least.

Scariest moment of my life was when my brother was hospitalized with acute appendicitis and we didn't know if he was going to make it. You expect that eventually you have to live life without your parents around, but you expect your siblings to be there with you to the end. I too have nightmares about watching him in the ICU. Hope your ok, OP.

When I was much younger, I woke up in the middle of the night and went into my living room. All of the cabinets were open in the kitchen and I saw three little Christmas decorations (Santa on a bike type things) moving across the living room by themselves. Landlord told me after that “oh yeah, people have seen stuff in that apartment.” Merry Christmas to me.

Wait tell us more 👀 how did it end? Such a cliff hanger lol

It sounds like the cops shot the intruder dead

Yes. They shot him. Also to note, one of the police officers also shot them selves in the foot.

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.
