We all have bad moments, bad days, bad phases in life. It's been said that everyone is the villain in someone's story - and sometimes we are the villain even in our own.
I've literally never lived alone and I am almost 40 years old. In my family, that's not really that strange. There are a lot of us, and we all sort of pool our resources and efforts into our living situations. My grandmother even moved out of her own house to get away from living with my mom and us kids!
People Share Seemingly Stupid Questions That Become More Complex The More They're Thought About
If you're a parent or you work with children, you've probably been asked at least one question that you initially brushed off as silly, but then later went "...oh wait..."
Sometimes, it's the questions that seem the dumbest that can send you down the rabbit hole of thought. Entire schools of philosophical thought can be built on the back of just a few seemingly-stupid questions.
Reddit user Newgatsbyfitness asked:
What's a question so stupid it gets more complex the more you think about it?
The responses... well ... they certainly got us thinking.
One of the best parts about having siblings is the ability to mess with them. Are you even a sibling if you're not playing pranks and messing with their heads?
No. The right answer is no - especially if that sibling is younger and more readily believes your shenanigans.
Reddit user MBTshock asked
Older sibling of Reddit, what is the biggest/best lie you told your siblings?
Some of these are hilarious, some of these may go a bit far for some people's taste, it really depends on how "evil" you're willing to get with the youngsters in your life.
Working in emergency response can be stressful. You're often talking people through one of the worst moments of their lives.
Every now and then, though, you get a call that doesn't seem all that urgent at all. You may even have people start the call with "I'm not sure if this is an emergency or not, but..."
You'll also get your share of pranks, kids playing around on phones, or phones that dial emergency services on their own thanks to butt-dials and strange wiring. Thing is, not all of those not-that-urgent calls will be easy.
Reddit user electrickgaming asked: 911 Dispatchers of Reddit, what is a seemingly dumb call you got which turned out to be serious?
People's responses were pretty incredible, but be warned - they're decently intense. There will be mention of death, gore, violence, etc. Proceed with caution, as some of these entries can be triggering.
