I was on a payphone and a Turkey walked out of the woods. Bit me on the back of the knee turned around and walked back into the woods.

There was a huge earthquake in San Francisco in the 80s - my dad was there for a conference. We felt the quake where we were and I suddenly started screaming "Dad!!! Dad!!! look out for the chandelier!!!!" My mom and sibs were understandably freaked out. When we finally got ahold of him he told us that he'd been in a ballroom when the quake hit and had a sudden urge to jump to the side. A chandelier fell right where he was previously standing. My family never talks about it - freaked everyone out severely.

I was working in a lab that had skeletal remains, many of which were Native American ancestral remains. I was used to working with skeletons, cataloguing and measuring bones and whatnot, and had never experienced anything that felt supernatural. This lab was created to repatriate the Native American remains that had been excavated locally and been severely mishandled by the university for decades. I had a box that contained only a skull, and when I opened the box, I *felt* anger resonating from this skull. The entire time it was out of the box, it was like someone was screaming inside my head. I finished as quickly as I could and returned the skull to its place. I had nightmares for several nights and eventually told the professor in charge about it. She was a descendant of the tribe to which these remains belonged and took me very seriously. She added extra offerings to the altar in the lab and smudged the place (burned white sage) and the nightmares stopped. Never before nor after have I had such a visceral experience.

30 "You Should Know" Facts That Prove It’s Never Too Late To Learn Something New

It makes me sad when people walk the dog because they have to walk the dog instead of walking the dog so the dog can have a little fun, say hi to the neighbors, and schnuff who's been visiting.

My little guy is a VA papered ESA, but he's also a real Therapy dog. He helps distressed older adults at his job. Even though he's working when he goes up to check on someone, most people will still ask if they can pet him. Yes, at the shop, that's his job and he takes pride in it. Outside the shop...the eyerolls are endless because he's small and folks assume he's fake because so many others have ruined it. And yes, if he comes up to you all on his own outside the shop, follow him back to me, please! Something bad happened and i need help.

30 ‘European Things’ That Might Just Make Americans Go “Huh?” As Seen In This Online Thread

I've spent years working in retail. I've been screamed at, spat at, and had to back up quickly to avoid a blow. This behavior has become so much worse over the last several years. This is in America. It was, granted, rare, pre-covid. Sadly, the pandemic brought out the worst in the entitled, and i'm not saying wealthy. It's only gotten worse. Just because you've never seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen or it's rare. And no, i don't have "an attitude" of anything but helpfulness, until someone throws attitude at me. I'm fortunate enough to now work in a place that has zero tolerance for abusing the staff.
