There's a movie called Yes Man, where Carl (played by Jim Carrey) challenges himself to agree to everything, leading to all sorts of unexpected experiences. It's a pretty fun film, and you can add it to your watchlist if you're running low on comedies.

As you know, life imitates art, so when Reddit user Y0u-Kn0W-ME invited everyone on the platform to describe the wildest nights that started with a simple "You up?" text, people immediately began sharing stories that Hollywood could easily turn into a script! Below, you'll find the most memorable ones we hand-picked from hundreds of submissions.

Golden retriever puppy sitting on a forest path, looking up while on a leash. It was a buddy of mine at about 1am hitting me up about his neighbors dog. He had seen the dude beating on the dog previously but this particular night he had left him outside in about 10 degree weather without any shelter. I packed my s**t up, bolt cutter and a mask and we went and liberated that dog. He was possibly the greatest dog I’ve ever had the experience of living with, I miss that dude everyday. Dogs like him show appreciation and love like no other. The TLDR I stole a dog and he became my new best friend.

You did not steal a dog, you freed a dog.

If an animal is being abused, then it's morally right to rehome it. You just streamlined the process.

I worked with a guy who had loads of pics of his dog; an adorable terrier. I asked him were he got it and he said that he went to the home of a kid he went to school with once and the little guy was there and the kid said you want to see something funny? The kid then took the puppy tossed him into a pillow sack and then started to beat it with a shoe. My workmate left the place stunned and told a friend who said wait a minit made a call and then he his friend and his friends rugby team showed up on the kids door. My buddy said "I'm taking your dog," and from what I saw in the pictures that dog was having his best life ever. (also this was before camera phones, so he just carried pictures of his dog everywhere)

    A hand holding a champagne flute at a bar, reflecting anticipation. Got the text from a buddy that he needed help at his house and it was urgent. Thought maybe they had a flood from a burst pipe or something like that. Nope.

    Turns out his wife fell off the sobriety wagon hard. They had a huge fight. Cops and EMS was called. She was transported to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. House is a wreck. Not like from the argument but you can tell it has been falling apart for weeks. Helped wake their two kids to get them ready to go stay at a family member’s house several hours away. All while I’m making sure he’s not about to have an emotional breakdown as well.

    Another friend came over to watch the kids until the family got there. During this time the hospital deemed the wife very unstable but they didn’t have the proper unit for her so she got transported to a facility, heavily sedated due to her being hostile and having suicidal ideation, a couple hours away. Drove my buddy there so he could take her personal items. We thought we would be there awhile but basically the facility said there was nothing we could do there and it would be best if he went home.

    Drove back to his house. I figured it wasn’t a good idea to leave him alone in that state. He finally broke down. Told me everything that had been happening the past couple months. We started to clean up the house then passed out after the long night. I ended up taking the rest of the week off to help him out and make sure he was good mentally.

    They’re long divorced now, he along with the kids are in a good place. Her not so much but it is what it is there. Check on your friends often.

    Edit: Thanks for the love everyone. It’s heartbreaking seeing people say they don’t have a support system though. Best we can do is be that someone for anyone if needed.

    Dimly lit, empty parking garage suggesting unexpected encounters. Not a text, but a phone call.

    About 10 years ago, maybe more I was sleeping and around 2am I got a phone call from "AHS - ACH" which is "Alberta Health Services, Alberta Children's Hospital". My wife is a nurse and she works at the ACH so I groggily answered. On the other end was an upset sounding woman and she just said "can you come get me, my phone and car are dead in the parking lot". Sure babe, no problem.

    I get in my truck and make my way over to the hospital booster cables and charging cord in hand. I'm gonna be a goddamn hero, I might even get a little special something something out of this I'm thinking to myself. I realize on the way that I forgot MY phone at home. But also, didn't really care because the only person that would ever call me at 2am is waiting for me to save her in the parking lot of doom.

    I pull in to the parking lot and look around. I don't see my wife's car so I try the parkade. Nope. The other lot? Nope. So I park in the emergency lot and am about to go in to see if I can track her down through the hospital admin when I see a girl standing beside a car with the hood up. I ask her if she needs help and she says "no, my phone is dead but my boyfriend is on the way to get me". Cool beans. I go inside and go up to my wife's unit and ask if she's there. The unit clerk looks at me like I'm a complete nutjob and says "uh, she is an educator now, she only works days". Right, yes. I do remember that. So I ask to use their phone and I call my wife. She picks up the phone STEAMING mad at me wondering why the f**k I left in the middle of the night, didn't take my phone and didn't tell her where I was going. I'm like "um, someone from the children's hospital called me and said they needed a boost" at this moment I'm very confused. I tell her I'll be back shortly and we can talk it over.

    I go back out to my truck and see that same girl standing there. I get a strange feeling so I ask her if she happened to call from the hospital at around 2am. She says yes and starts looking at me funny. I ask her what number she called and she says a number that is almost EXACTLY the same as my number. My number starts with xyx... and the number she says she called was yxy....

    It dawns on me. She transposed the numbers and accidentally called me. I laugh, give her a boost and we part ways. I get home explain what happened to my wife who is VERY suspicious about the whole thing - understandably.

    I had happened to get the call when she had been in the washroom feeling a tad sick.

    Anyway, a few weeks later one of the other nurses was telling my wife a funny story about how one of her friends accidentally called someone else's husband to boost her car one night and that idiot actually showed up.

    I was that idiot. My wife felt so bad for being suspicious of me that I did - in fact - get a little special something-something.

    My guess it could be a specific sexual activity they don't partake in often. Maybe wife does not particularly enjoy giving bj's for example, but that counts as a special something-something if she knows the husband loves them and she wants to do something extra nice for him.

    Audience seated in a theater, listening attentively, representing unexpected escalations from a "You Up?" text. I was in Chicago at a conference. Got a text from a friend that said "come by ____ bar." I get there, it's a pit...which is my kinda place. There's some ancient dude playing the blues in the corner. Totally in my element.

    An hour later B.B. King came out and did an impromptu set. No one had any idea, he happened to be in town and wanted to play some tunes. If that wasn't crazy enough 20 minutes into his set Eric F*****g Clapton sat down next to Lucille and B.B. They played obscure blues tunes for another 40 minutes.

(Yes, she did.) Somebody was like, "Aww, this is what a women's college is all about." Another girl said, "Do you want me to hunt him down and kill him?" And I was like, "No, THAT's what a women's college is all about" lol

    Butt dialed a friend once just as she was about to see herself out of existence, utensil in hand. It startled her and she broke down so I kept her talking and drove an hour to her house. It was a literal wakeup call and she got help and we became inseparable besties for a decade. She moved too far away to see very often, but is still around and thriving. What a weird happy accident.

    Bride and groom holding hands at a wedding ceremony, focusing on unexpected outcomes of messages. Meeting my wife. I had fallen asleep and got a text from a girl that I had been casually seeing. She and some friends were drunk at a party and needed a ride. I reluctantly got up out of bed, got dressed and went to pick them up. When they piled into the backseat, I looked back to see who had gotten in the car and my future wife and I locked eyes. That was 14 years ago.

    Birthday cake with burning candles, capturing a moment of unexpected excitement and escalation. I was staying away from family and friends in a different city and was relatively new to the city. A day before my 26th Birthday, I told my friends to not call me at midnight as I wouldn’t be able to answer and I wanted to sleep because I had a long week at work. Secretly I was also missing all my people and hoping they don’t listen to my advice. My friends decided to WhatsApp me 5 minutes before midnight “Are you up?” and I said yes but also told them that I’ll be going to sleep soon. I suddenly hear my doorbell ring at that time and 2 of my closest buds were there at my doorstep, they had flown from a different city to wish me.

    For the first time in 15 years of knowing them, I broke down and hugged them.

    We went to a neighborhood bar and what a wild night it was with one of the tables where a group of ladies were celebrating their friends Bachelorette.

    Nothing tops that experience. Beautiful Core Memory.

    Board game with colorful pieces and dice, symbolizing how a simple "You Up?" text can escalate beyond expectations. When I was 14, I was about to fall asleep and a classmate I was acquaintances with texted me and asked if I was awake. I told him I was and asked what was up. He proceeded to invite me to come to his house and play board games with him and his parents. From that night on, he became my best friend and about a decade later we are still best friends. I moved abroad after we graduated high school but I still visit him whenever I visit our hometown and he also came to visit me in my new country of residence. We even both met our current partners through each other. I can't begin to imagine how differently my life would have played out if I never responded to his text that night.

    That is so sweet. Although being that age again would be difficult in so many ways, the innocence of that age, going over to a new friend's house, playing board games with them and their parents in the evening, maybe drinking some sodas and eating some chips or microwave popcorn,... Such an innocent and genuinely fun thing. I love hearing when adults have game nights, it's sad when we get to a certain point and life responsibilities beat the fun out of us. Everything becomes about money / time / work / responsibility... Got to make time for play. You'll never find the time, you got to make it. I smiled reading this little story. I think I'll invite my brother's over for a game night because it sounds like fun

    Close-up of a person crying, possibly due to an unexpected escalation of a simple "You Up?" text. Received a text from a buddy who said he needed help because his ex was going crazy, so I ran over. Turns out it was his ex who took his phone and ran and hid. Ended up knocking my buddy out and ran her and her two kids to the car for safety since he was being physical. He ran out and tried grabbing one of the kids, so I took him by his shirt and punched him square in the face, knocking him out again. Told her if she needed someone to talk to, just to message me. She's been my wife for two years now and I no longer talk to that buddy.

    You knocked him out twice? Obviously not really the first time, if he was able to get out to the car before you got away.. I heard it was really difficult to knock someone out, and that when you do, they're out for a while, and don't come around quickly. But I don't know how accurate that info was either. I have no first-hand knowledge of it.

    Three friends in a hallway, one with an arm around another, discussing unexpected "You Up?" text outcomes. This was back in high school. Friend of mine came from a pretty broken home. Both parents had remarried. He called me one night absolutely hysterical. I couldn’t figure out what was going on but knew he needed someone he trusted to come be with him. Turns out he got super drunk and had put his dad’s gun in his mouth and was ready to pull the trigger right before calling me. It was all over a messy situation where he had fallen in love with his step sister but knew he couldn’t be with her. He had never told anyone before this night. He didn’t want me to call anyone else for help so I sat up with him all night while he cried and poured his heart out. I distinctly remember being so tired but forcing myself to keep my eyes open because I felt like if I fell asleep he would go through with k*lling himself. Luckily the situation never got that far again. He eventually got the help he needed and even though he went through some really rough stretches with d***s and alcohol, he’s still alive today. We haven’t spoken in years just due to growing up and drifting apart but I know he’s now married with kids and seems to be living a stable life.

I broke several speed limits, but being it on a Sunday there was not much police in the street. We made it in time and she could spend the last 30 minutes with her mother.

    Person in brown sweater and white pants sitting with arms on knees, evoking emotional intensity, related to "You Up?" text moments. "I feel like I'm going to (unalive myself) can you stop me?" He was going to down a whole bottle of tylenol with loads of alcohol. He was about 60min away. 3am. Home alone. Luckily I'm a night owl due to my night shifts. He's in a good place now in his life.

    A crowded bar with dim lighting, showcasing a lively nightlife atmosphere, drinks, and social interactions. Got a call from a friend asking if I wanted to hang out with him and a mutual friend. We went to a jazz bar in Downtown Houston. While we were there, mutual friend got a call from a girl who was tending bar at another place and said it was slow and we should come hang out.

    We ended up going to the barrio to a little shack that when the side opened like a garage door it became a Tejano bar. When we walked in I could hear someone say "what are these white boys doing here?"

    We walked up to the bar to meet mutual friend's friend and she took him out on to the dance floor. Her mom was there hanging out and took my other friend out on to the dance floor leaving me alone at the bar. While I was standing there a guy who looked like he could be cast as "Mexican gangster" in a movie walkes up and stood inches from me and looked me up and down like he wanted to start something. Thinking quickly I stuck out my hand and said "what's up buddy?" Dude shook my hand, gave me a hug and was my best friend for the rest of the night.

    Black and white image of two horses running through a dusty landscape, with trees in the background. 3 am. Northern California. Got a call that there was a fast moving wildfire by our friends ranch and could they use our trailer to evacuate their horses, so, drove out to where we keep it, went and loaded up horses and moved them. Friends stayed at our place for a week, their house survived, their moms place up the road burned down. This was also at the beginning of Covid lockdown and our kitchen was gutted for a remodel, cooking out in the garage, etc.

    Rightly so! Spiders don't deserve to die just because. If you're an actual arachnophobic, seek help. If not, get over yourself, get a paper and a glass, and throw'em out. There's no need, nor excuse, to kill them.

    This was absolutely possible when Britain belonged to the EU. Not anymore, strict limits, and just yesterday I had a british supplier telling me she won't be able to deliver to the EU anymore. It is too expensive and troublesome for her. I agree, the extra costs for customs are insane. It's fun horse related stationary and bags she sells, own design, and it is 25% more expensive. Sad as it is, but I and many others cannot afford it anymore.

    Two people playing video games with pizza on the table, a typical scene following an unexpected "You Up?" text. My buddy called me at 3 am if I was awake.
    I asked why. The answer:

    Ngl I'm drunk, but I kinda wanna play War Thunder rn (military shooter, we play aviation. The important thing is that you need good aim).

    I thought about it for like five minutes and said f**k it, why not. I wanted to see how he plays when drunk because he plays not so great when sober.

    He had impeccable aim and lead. Somehow he even managed to learn how to dogfight in a plane and then forget it the next day.

    It was funny.

    A red Vespa parked on an urban sidewalk, capturing an unexpected moment. My old downstairs neighbor who I used to hang out with a lot texted me past midnight asking if I was still awake. He and I would always get together to smoke and listen to music or watch tv. We had a fling at one point that went nowhere, so I wasn’t sure what he wanted so late. It turns out he had gotten into an accident while on his street scooter. He was badly hurt and needed help. He tried to avoid running over a cat that had run out in front of him while driving around and broke hard, sending himself flying. I found him on the side of the road and took him to the hospital. He had broken both his wrists and ended up needing surgery.

    We ended up drifting apart and I moved away. We didn’t keep in touch but hoping the dude is doing well.

    After reading this I looked it up and I can't find any Ikea in North America that has a retail location open at 3:00 a.m. however, that doesn't mean that they didn't leave wherever they were from at 3:00 a.m. as part of a trip to go to IKEA because they needed a new lamp.... So like 3:00 in the morning they say let's go, drive for 5 hours doing whatever, ending up at a store at 8:00 a.m. when it opens... Otherwise, I think this is made up. But who cares.

    I lived over four decades in the same place right along the Canadian / US border in which within a 30 minute drive I can get to four border crossings but each one of them is across a river and uses a bridge. I've crossed that a couple of other crossings (such as sarnia/detroit), again, River and bridge. My naive self began to imagine that all canada/us border crossings somehow had some sort of a very obvious border crossing like this. Imagine my surprise when I was traveling the prairie provinces and encountered border crossings that are literally just a long empty road in the middle of nowhere, you don't even see another car in a 20 minute drive, and then all the sudden you get to the small building, and this is a border crossing. What a wild experience. I can imagine that if you were driving at night, on one of these lonely roads in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Washington... It is possible to drive North a little too far and end up with the Canadian border.

    Which is fairly easy to do, most EU countries do not have any physical borders. Just take your passport with you (driver's licence won't do) when hiking in de woods or Nature Reserves. You might encounter a lonely, funny colored pole with the names of two (seldom three) countries on it. When driving, pay attention to a white stripe on the road and blue signs.

He asked if I wanted to go break into another countries encampment, and steal their flag. This was early nighttime, like people were still working early. So we did. We ran like 10 miles in the night, dodging military personnel who were driving by. Broke into the camp, which was difficult, then had to break the flagpoles lock system and cut the flag down. 10 miles back. Our guards were still guarding the entry. We just “blended” in with some vehicles that were gaining entry, we just walked right in. Insane, still the craziest thing I’ve done.

    30 Times A Simple "You Up?" Text Escalated Beyond Anyone's Expectations Had to have been around 2010-11, 3am in college after a few hours at the local bar, I got a text from the cute girl in my lit class that I had been crushing on who was also at said bar to come to her place and hookup. She lived like 3 buildings away in our complex so I got up and stumbled over to her place. Had some fun sexy times and then we both passed out for a few hours to be awoken by her roommates loudly announcing it was Turtle Race Day!

    I then got to watch 4 turtles race through a playing card maze and then had more sexy times and went home lol.

    A really, really sad attempt at a booty-call where I *thankfully* got a case of whiskey-d**k and couldn't get it up.

    And I say "thankfully" because I found out the reason she initiated said booty-call was that she was trying to get me to get her pregnant (without me realizing) so she could "trap me." I don't remember too much about the encounter, but I do remember her trying to convince me to go in raw...

    I think you are reading too much into this, and maybe thinking a bit too highly of yourself. Many people - woman included - like to do it without a condom, because it feels better or because there’s more adrenaline… idk. That doesn’t mean they want to get pregnant (they might even be on another birth control method or intend to take plan b), and even less that they wanna trap you. 🙄 A baby is not a guarantee that a man will stay, btw.

    Lead to me picking up and babysitting my buddy at 2:30 a.m in the city as his car was getting towed due to a stunting charge on the highway after leaving the casino.

    After the cop left my buddy was thanking me as he didn't know how much longer he had till what he ate kicked in.

    "Till what kicked in?!"

    "The gram of m*lly I ate when the cop pulled me over so he couldn't find it"

    Ended up chilling with him till about 5:30-6am before I felt he was more than okay to take him home.

    I had two friends message me around 11 at night, asking if I was up and wanted to play video games. I couldn’t sleep so I figured why not. I showed up their house with my video game controller and they were like “oh that’s cute you thought video games meant video games…”

    In my early 20s, I had a close lady friend. She was the sister of a friend. The friend and I grew apart, but I started chatting with his sister and later, texting (this was before phones had full keyboards). We had sex twice before we figured out we weren't really compatible romantically but remained close friends.

    Years later, one night, she texts me about how she agreed to do a**l with her boyfriend the next time he came over. She had never done it before and started freaking out that she wouldn't be able to go through with it, or would embarrass herself, in general.

    I'm half asleep and kinda unfiltered at the time, so I said, jokingly at the time, that if she wanted to practice, she could come over anytime she wanted.

    I didn't get a response. It was late, I expected she fell asleep or whatever. So I go back to be. 20 minutes later, she's knocking on my door with lube she picked up on the way over.

    Drunk buddies from college pounding at my door around midnight. We drive to Tijuana, watch underground fights, have copious amounts of d***s and end up at a ping pong ball show out in the middle of who the f**k knows where. We managed to stay awake until about 10am after having some bomb a*s seafood in Puerto Nuevo. Ended up booking a complete s**t pot hotel deep in the a**s of Ensenada. Slept it off for about 10 hours and did it all over again. The following morning, we took a fishing trip out of Ensenada and proceeded to puke two and a half days of pure debauchery off the side of the boat. The captain just laughed at us and kept giving us beers. It took three whole days to fully recover from that trip.

    This predates texting.

    So when I was a teenager, my dad busted me with a few hits of acid. Before he took them, I swapped out a few of them with just paper, but he got one or two real ones. Fast fwd a few months. I was looking in my dad's nightstand to scavenge some change for cigs, and just laying there in the pennies was what really looked like a hit of acid. I popped it in my mouth and sure enough it was real, so I stayed up all night and just had fun tripping solo. I was still up at like 7am, and called my friend, who also happened to still be up ("You up?"). He said let's go over to this girl's house, so I said sure. Ended up marrying her and having a kid together, although we divorced after a few years.

    An alcohol, M*lly, and c***ine fuelled night with my Londoner friend, me losing my friend at 2am somewhere in Liverpool city centre, befriending some Arab lads, getting into a messy brawl in the street with some chavs who were hurling racist abuse at the Arab lads, legging it from the bizzies (that's cops for all the non-scousers), getting a McDonald's breakfast that I only managed to eat about 4 bites of, falling asleep in the multistorey McDonald's toilet for an hour, staggering 3 miles home twisted out my mind, napping for 2 and a half hours, waking up to a text from a dealer I'd apparently met the night before asking me if I still wanted the last 2 pills and 2 grams of m*lly he had before he got the train back home (I had no memory of meeting the guy), getting a cab (still twisted out of my mind) to Lime Street station, picking up from him, then going skating at Seel Street.

    My Londoner mate got back to me 3 weeks later. He'd lost his phone, his wallet, his iPod, and was found at 4am "walking home". He'd been walking in circles around a sign post near the Royal hospital for about half an hour before one of the staff came out and asked if he was alright. He just played it off as "yeah, I'm just walking home mate" then darted up the path towards his flat.

    It's a fun story and I always enjoy retelling it, but I'm glad I don't do any stupid s**t like that anymore, we could have gotten seriously hurt or worse.

    I was about 22 and mate messaged me that he was in a club not far from where I lived. I didn’t want to go and eventually was convinced with “girls outnumber guys 2 to 1. Drove there. Got a bit wasted and decided to drive home. As I left I decided I wanted McDonald’s, so pulled the handbrake at an intersection and did a 180 (in my head, it was perfect). I pulled into McDonald’s drive through, placed my order. And that’s when a cop car blocked my way. They cancelled my order. Asked to search my car, I let them. Said they don’t even need to breathalise me as they can tell I’m drunk - I told them they just have to ask and I’ll tel them I’m drunk. They told me I’m under arrest and needed to go to the station. I didn’t resist and just kept joking with them and being funny. These cops ended up driving me home, giving me their numbers and told me to never drive like that again, and to call if I need help.

    They left with my drivers license and I needed to chase them down to get it back 😂😂😂. It was a fun night.

    This is US, I guess? Still I doubt it's within the legal competence of a cop to drop charges of DUI. I mean, if he was so obviously drunk, that's a criminal offense, not just misdemeanor (like exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph on a freeway).
