A redditor had two imaginary friends. One was really nice and the other was super mean and would often trash their room. The nice friend would always tell the mean one to stop.

Golfman11 said that one time they woke up and their eyes were super dry. They opened them, and it was pitch black.

They rubbed their eyes and cried until they were moisturized enough to where they could see again.

One theory says the province of New Brunswick is denying the existence of Eastern cougars so they won’t have to delegate and designate a huge bunch of land as protected wildlife habitats. Another theory says NBA refs are still rigging games.

OP had an awesome glow in the dark skeleton onesie that her friend wanted to buy for herself. After looking around the store and asking the employees, it became clear that there was no onesie in her size that they’d be able to use, until they returned a few moments later and the exact onesie she needed was suddenly there.

OP had a psychiatrist they were supposed to see once a month for 20 minutes, but eventually he had her coming in twice a week and their appointments would go over an hour each time. Eventually she had to just stop answering his calls and ignore him as things got more uncomfortable, which sent him into a rage.
