When I rented the apartment, the landlord smiled and said, "Ignore the crying baby next door. Nobody lives there." I thought he was joking... until the crying woke me up every single night at exactly 2:46 a.m.
My wife and I bought a 1970s house outside Portland.
The previous owner left behind one rule, scribbled on a sticky note inside the fuse box:
“If you hear knocking from the attic after midnight, count to 100 before opening it.”
We laughed.
There wasn’t even an attic staircase.
I checked into a tiny motel in rural Colorado after driving for almost 11 hours.
The receptionist looked exhausted.
As she handed me the key, she smiled and said,
“If room 12 calls your room tonight… don’t answer it.”
Then she laughed.
I thought it was just a weird joke.

@itokem10@Bluezfc_ Haha, the persistence level is unmatched 😂
That foot close-up at the start had me knowing exactly where this was headed. Classic “won’t take no for an answer” energy.
While others fans were enjoying the world cup final, fans of Stake had a better enjoyment. Imagine winning a bet of $600k in the game.
With stake, you deserves this happiness.
@Bluezfc_ Yeah, that one hits hard. 😔
The way they showed the aftermath and her breaking down while describing it… SVU doesn’t hold back on these stories. Powerful but painful episode.
My Airbnb host told me one rule before handing over the keys:
“If someone knocks on the bedroom window after midnight… don’t look.”
I laughed.
The bedroom was on the second floor.
There was no balcony.
No tree.
No way anyone could reach that window.
At exactly 12:17 a.m., three slow knocks echoed through the glass.
