For the last three months, my rescue dog, Buster, has had this terrifying habit. Every single night like clockwork, around 3:00 AM, he would get off the bed, walk to the doorway, and just stare down the dark hallway leading to the front door. His ears would perk up, his back would go completely rigid, and he would low-growl for twenty minutes straight.

Naturally, I was convinced my apartment was haunted, or that someone was lurking outside my front door. I bought a deadbolt, kept a heavy flashlight next to my nightstand, and spent countless nights lying awake with my heart hammering in my chest, trying to listen for footsteps in the corridor. Nothing was ever there when I looked through the peephole.

Yesterday, I finally got fed up with the sleepless nights and installed a tiny security camera in the hallway to see if I was going crazy or if there was actually something moving around out there.

I checked the footage this morning, and I couldn't stop laughing.

At 2:58 AM, the camera picked up a faint, rhythmic clunk-clunk... clunk-clunk. A minute later, the neighbor's ancient cat—a massive, three-legged orange tabby named Barnaby—slowly limped down the carpeted hallway right outside my door, stopped directly in front of my welcome mat, and proceeded to scratch his ear against my doorframe before shuffling back to his apartment.

Buster wasn't sensing a Victorian ghost or a catburglar. He was just furious that the neighborhood feline was invading his personal perimeter every night at the exact same hour.

Tonight, I left a small bowl of treats outside the door for Barnaby, and Buster is currently fast asleep on the rug without giving the hallway a second glance. Mystery solved.

Trump’s mouth has become a natural disaster warning system. Soon after he speaks, destruction ensues. We need to treat his presidency like the back-to-back natural disasters it is.

I live in Germany; its been about 2 years now and I am very well acquainted with the rudeness of people here especially people working govt jobs or in supermarkets. To be honest, I should have been used to it by now but it still hits hard sometimes.

Like today I went to Kaufland with a friend who chose to use self-service checkout. I have used it a lot in Aldi but not in Kaufland because I hardly go there. Now their system works differently and I didn't know. The supermarket guy was hovering around and when he saw me struggling, instead of just helping me, he started bashing me for not using it right.

I do understand it was a busy time and there were people waiting behind me - I absolutely hate to be an inconvenience to others but its literally your job to get things done around you and instead of just helping me, he wasted more time in being angry at me.

No matter how little you are getting paid at your job, you have absolutely no right to be rude to someone especially a customer, but it's something normal in Germany!

Just wanted to vent it out because I was sick and already feeling down when this happened. Thanks for reading though :)

For the last 10 years or so we have been really learning what great horror movies can be made by sketch comedy guys. It's time for Bob to do it. An interviews he often talks about his own darkness, his own anger. He could do it. I want him to do it.
