We have a door is always locked rule in our house. We had too many of our neighbor's (who had an open door policy) friends walk into our apartment by accident at weird times and scare the piss out of us/almost get shot. Stories like this just confirm that I'm not being paranoid.

They freak people out for some reason. I think it is because they fall smack into the iddle of the uncanny valley. Not ghost related, but not too long ago, people were freaking out around here because someone was leaving them on little girls' doorsteps. Everyone thought it was a serial killer or child molester or…

That happened to me in a hotel pool once and I ended up with minor chemical burns afterwards.

The second story about this place, I didn't personally witness. The boy by the servant staircase was the only mean ghost in the house (other than whatever was in the doll room). My aunt told us that if we ever saw him (I never did. Only little girls ever did) to just yell for the dogs and they'd chase him off. They…

Double Post.

About ten years ago, my aunt and uncle bought an old Victorian farmhouse in rural Ohio. This was one of those houses that seemed to have an outright ghost infestation. We would all be sitting downstairs and hear heavy footsteps walk from one end of the house to the other or hear kids playing. My aunt and uncle were…

Maybe it's just because I forgot to bring lunch to work today and am starving, but this sounds like a perfectly sane response to me.

Dead criminals aren't repeat criminals.

I work in PC repair and keep a basket of bulging, counterfeit laptop batteries under the counter to show people why they shouldn't buy $10 batteries on eBay and Amazon.

On a similar note, I learned a long time ago by accident that if you order a separate item overnight, a lot of your 2-day stuff will come overnight too.

I had a prof that for every question added on 8 more possibilities:

In all fairness, if you don't take nude pictures, they'll never make it online. That doesn't make her at all complicit though. I work in IT, and I've learned time and time again that nothing in cyberspace remains private indefinitely. If you don't want it made public, don't put it online. The second you do, you…

I have no clue. These people are the real "gun nuts" that make other firearm owners look bad.

I learned at 5, but it was a measly bolt-action .22. The age isn't the issue, it's the type of firearm and the lack of adequate supervision. (Anyone dumb enough to let a 9yo handle an Uzi doesn't qualify as adequate supervision)

There is a time, place, and proper method for introducing children to firearms. That being said, an Uzi is definitely not on the list of introductory firearms for anyone, much less a child. We started out on single shot .22 rifles and BB-guns for a long time before we could touch anything else. This instructor was…

If the guy is drunk, can he consent? By this logic, a lot of hookups should end up with both parties convicted rapists. If two drunk people have sex, how do we determine who raped who? Is it the person who complains first? We certainly can't always blame the man because that would be blatant sexism (tongue firmly…

I'm 6'1 and in most planes it is physically impossible for the person in front of me to recline without crushing me kneecaps. They can usually get one click before the chair just stops. Then the stupid ones bounce and wonder why their seat doesn't work.

I went to BYU for a few semesters (and hated it for so many reasons) so this is doubly funny for me.

I know this is a joke, but I always love the doublethink required for proponents of legal marriage between any two consenting adults to also be against marriage between three consenting adults.
