Allow me to set the scene: My friend and I had smoked the night before, and for some reason, this made me an insomniac and I couldn't sleep that night as a result. While he was asleep, I found myself Redditing, reading some good threads/a surprisingly good Dane Cross AMA, and then, [this] comment in the "Scariest Shit on the Internet" thread.

I'll leave you, /r/TIFU to read the comic at your own peril/leasure, but suffice to say it did its job. I screamed and had the wits to close the laptop and attempt to play it off as a nightmare, which he seems to have bought...his mother may or may not have---she came down, sleeping gown and all, to figure out if we were OK.

All is calm(ish?) now, they all went back to sleep and I've dutifully recorded my fuck-up. Doubt I'll be doing much sleeping at all what with that damn thread about.
