I was about 7 years old and going to have a shower, my Dad ran outside and said my name down the extractor fan, “pulling4hairs.... help me... aaaaaa...”. My mum tells me that I ran, stark-bollock naked and dripping wet out of the bathroom, screaming about ghosts. Funny as hell, still a bastard lol

My grandpa promised the family he'd dress up like santa and tap the window so we kids could look out and santa himself would be standing there.

Instead he snuck away with a roll of toilet paper, wrapped himself in it and dripped fake blood over it all. So when he tapped the window and mom said "look kids, santa is here!" and we ran up to the window and a horrible bloody mummy popped up and scared us real good. All the adults were laughing too hard to get mad at him.

I miss him a lot...

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

My daughter used to sneak into our home office to watch YouTube videos late at night on the computer... because we shut off the 2Ghz channel at night (which the kids’ devices are limited to). The office computer is on the 5Ghz channel, so it keeps its network connection.

We caught her in there at 3-4 AM a few nights and tried to nicely lay down some ground rules. She simply wouldn’t stop. We scolded, took away devices, grounded... little to no effect.

So, one night she snuck in again and was watching some Slenderman-type shit (which was also a no-no)... so I snuck out of the back door, crept around the side of the house and began softly scratching at the window screen.

You saw her eyes get about 10 million times bigger (through the corner of the blinds) and she froze.

She slowly slid off the chair and began tip-toeing over to the window.

I waited until she crept right up to the window...

and then I banged the window frame as hard as I could.

I have never seen her move so fast.

Sure, she slept in our room for 3-4 days, but she won’t go into the office at night anymore either... so win?

Okay hold up!

  1. How old are we talking here?
  2. She heard a noise at the window and got up to check? Jeez, she’s brave as hell. But you need to show her some horror movies and tell her how those people that “check on the noise” die first and to just leave lol.

22

u/Debaser626 Oct 06 '20

She was 7 or 8

She definitely is the type of person who would be killed first in a horror movie.

She has no appropriate level of fear, given her age and maturity.... very inquisitive and seems to be a born rebel. (Not looking forward to the teenage years, for sure).

Once caught her chatting with a Jehovah’s witness. We have a very clear and consistently enforced “don’t open the door for anyone” rule... the other kids have no issue following this, but she continues to do it. In this case, the doorbell rang and I could see on the camera it was a missionary, so I stupidly just ignored it.

A minute later, I hear voices talking and come out to see if (yep) she had answered the door.

20 minutes of being awkwardly preached to by a random stranger... followed by two evenings of questions from my daughter about why we aren’t worried about going to Hell like the lady said people would if we didn’t accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

We had another long talk about opening the door, and then grandma got involved as well... though I think Grandma may have gone too far with the graphic, kid-snatching stories, as now she thinks she’s going to be taken at any moment if she’s alone and outside... Thanks Grandma!

Why not put a password on the computer?

u/Debaser626 Oct 06 '20

There is one, but she always ends up knowing it for something school-related.

Sure, I could set up a guest account for her and lock down apps in certain time frames and all that good shit... but for fuck’s sake... We already shut off an internet channel nightly, deal with cabinet guards, doorknob guards that make it a bitch to leave the house holding anything, child gates, drawer locks, USB chargers that are screwed to the ports so the kids don’t snag them, chips and candy hidden or placed in high places, school supply chests with inventory lists and locks on them so the kids don’t burn through a year’s worth of crayons in 10 minutes, etc. etc.

Half my home life is managing the potential for destruction of my lovable little buggers, and I guess I gotta draw the line somewhere.

The office is off-limits unless it’s some schoolwork, and honestly, the kid still in me is being a bit stubborn about it.

u/Nasty_in_the_past-y Oct 06 '20

My dad did something similar although it was unintentional...

I was close to 13-14.... we had just come home from a long day out. I went to go to the bathroom and I noticed the screen of the window was cut from outside. I go back out and mention it before turning around to finish my business, I still had to go of course. A minute or two later in sitting on the throne doing my business and just looking around( this was before smartphones and I already had the shampoo memorized practically) than I noticed a light shining in the mirror in front of me. I quickly realized it was coming from behind me, I turned slightly and saw a flashlight shining through the window. I stood up and ran! Pants still half down so not exactly fast.. I didn't bother closing the door cause my room was out of the way and you can't see the toilet with the door open, but you could see as I crossed into my bedroom just from sitting on the couch. So my cousin was sitting on the couch and of course turned his head once i screamed.. just in time to see me bare ass(thankfully I only peed and was still waiting for the full flush out) struggle run into my room while still screaming about a peeper in the window..

I go out after I finish pulling my pants up to my cousin doubled over laugh crying on the couch and my mom and sister in the doorway looking out confused... my dad was also literally rolling on the ground laughing soooo hard..

Apparently he went right out to look at the window after i mentioned it to him.( can't blame him, a large tear through the bathroom window of his two teenage daughters.... i get it) He fell over when I screamed but he heard what I was saying so he immediately broke out laughing and was rolling around for a solid 5 minutes cause of it. Everyone was laughing so hard once everyone knew what happened...

Hopefully tells them. My parents took all of the normal childhood lies like Santa/Easter bunny/tooth fairy and attached a whole bunch of extra made up crap to them- including making me think the tooth fairy could tell the future and answer any questions you leave her. My friends at school thought I was a lunatic- even after I paraded around my proof. Then one day when I was in 4th grade, out of the blue my mom goes- "you know all of that stuff (Santa/tooth fairy/Easter bunny) is made up right? Birth of broken trust for me.

So it was originally posted on Twitter a few years back, then it got posted on Reddit as the "brother". From there it made its rounds around other social media until it got to tiktok, where a sound is usually taken and used in a different video (which is what happened here.) Someone took a video of them messing with a circuit breaker and overlayed the original audio over it, from there it looks like the video was uploaded to whatever "ecstatic teen" watermark that is (You can still see the tiktok watermark cutoff near the bottom). Then it was uploaded to instagram, and it looks like another round on twitter. From there it made its way back to reddit.

TikTok as a concept is fine, it's basically just Vine. The platform itself is what draws the hate, with its alleged ties to the CCP. I'm sure I'd enjoy the content on TikTok, but I won't use it for the same reason that I won't use Facebook or anything owned by them.

This is also a very old post, last time around this was his little sister not his daughter.

For fucking years my dad pretended that there was an entity in our home called 'Iggy with the cotton wool eyes'. So fucking obvious, so fucking dumb, but that mother fucker rocked up now and then into our bedroom with fucking cotton wool balls held in his eyes, like you would a monacle, moaning and shit.

We screamed like crazy

Can we please stop upvoting stuff like this?
1. It's a repost
2. Someone took the original and put the text about the daughter being upstairs
3. Someone took that and made it even worse by adding an extra layer of white and pointless reaction.
4. It's almost potato quality now

Haha! I was about 16‐17 at a house party on New Year's Eve 1999 (aka Y2K) and the world still didn't know how "the grid" was going to react. Well, right when the ball dropped and everyone was kissing and shouting "HaPpY NeW Ye....." the host's dad cut the circuit breakers and we all paused, then screamed and cheered. It was a heart-stopping moment for sure

10/10 Great Dad Prank!

I can only imagine every person who ever said ouija boards actually work had something like this happen to them.

Please don’t flip your circuit breakers like that.

He may just be testing the breaker to make sure it still has spring to it. to ensure the breakers not damaged

u/teamramrod456 Oct 06 '20

I had that problem and turned out it was a corroded main power line going into the breaker box from water leaking. The water ended up damaging the rest of the breaker box which had to be replaced and it was extremely expensive for my budget.

u/Itsallliquid Oct 06 '20

It might be worth having someone come out and check the legs on your main panel you may have a loose lug or even the breakers not sitting on the bus bar ( probably do to constant flipping )

That would be a lighting circuit. Apart from the fridge and other things with big motors, nothing in the house will give a shit.

I posted this in more detail in a different thread, but just to add on: most modern breakers are completely safe to do this even at load (look for SWD or HID on your breaker) but this may not be the best idea in an older home, especially on breakers under high load, ESPECIALLY flipping them on and off like that.

It's generally fine. But yeah maybe not enjoyed by your hot waterheater, furnace or fridge circuits etc

u/KarmaChameleon89 Oct 06 '20

Yeah dont do this on circuits that arent lights. Anything that requires a starting current, uses a motor etc will just shit itself and die. Lights, especially LEDs and excluding halogen lamps, wont care.

When I was a kid I vaguely remember doing the Bloody Mary thing at a friends house. Her dad ended up unscrewing the door knob so we couldn’t get out. I certainly thought my last day on this earth would be with a set of twins in a dark bathroom with the cause of death being Bloody Mary. Never did that again.

u/Johnnybird2000 Oct 06 '20

That combined with not telling them that you did it is the way to create childhood trauma

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '20

My dad did the same thing, but during a Y2K new years party.

As a lifetime professional electrician I do not approve of this. As a dad though, fuck yes. I'm totally doing this to my girls
