I did 12 years in a state institution. The only really strange thing to me was answering the telephone. First off, you don't receive calls. Second, once the call connects, you can hear them say hello and then a prompt plays letting them know the call is recorded and what not before you then say hello. For about a year people would answer when I call them and I would wait for the recording to play before responding.

I had been out of the country for 3 days at a music festival. Came home to my front door crowbarred in, and my entire house trashed. They had taken my TV, DVD’s, laptops, etc. But the cherry on top of the s**t cake: they emptied my box of sex toys so the forensics team had to dust my dildos for finger prints.LHDC417 reply

I was on holiday in Jordan and went to visit their "down town". This area is beautiful has all sorts of cultural bits and pieces and amazing food at great prices. If you go there you need to haggle every price, even the locals do. So I enter this shop and the shopkeeper at the door tells his colleague "Oh yes European foreigner lets see how much we can overprice stuff" I kid you not he said that, but in Arabic (which I can speak fluently having an Arab father) (Note I'm very pale, with brown hair and blue eyes. Not typical in that region) I ask about the cost of a beautiful Arabian plate (in English) and he gives me an insane price. I look him in the eye and say "now that you know I'm a local how much does it cost?" (In fluent Arabic) his eyes pop out of his head and then he starts laughing saying "You heard me at the door didn't you?" I smile and nod and then he says "I guess I deserve that, that plate isn't worth much I'll give it to you as a gift for giving me a good laugh"

After high school, I took a solo trip to Europe before starting college. I was in Amsterdam, sitting alone at a restaurant, when I hear Hebrew (my native tongue, though I live in the US). A couple of people at the next table who I notice are looking in my direction, saying "It must really suck, eating at a restaurant alone." I responded in Hebrew saying "It's actually alright, I've got a book so I'm good." We ended up joining tables, and spent the next day hanging out in the city.

Spooky Short Horror Stories That You Shouldn't Read After Dark
As I slit her throat, I looked in her unblinking eyes and realised too late that she wanted to live. I knew it to be true because mirrors don't lie.
