"He partied..."

"By raw sewage pouring through my ceiling (in my bedroom) from my upstairs neighbor.

He partied and ripped the toilet out of the floor, then continued using it. Took maintenance almost 16 hours to show up and turn off the flow."

"I literally didn't even know..."

"Cops beating on my door to search my house for someone I was hiding. I literally didn't even know the person."

The walls do indeed have ears.

"The phone woke me up..."

"The phone woke me up a little after midnight. I was informed that my mother had died. It was not totally unexpected. Her health had been declining.

I still dread hearing the phone ring late at night."

Is this a deleted episode of Breaking Bad?

"My cats were chasing each other..."

"My cats were chasing each other and one ran across my face while I was sleeping. The scratches were pretty bad all across one side of my face. It was the day before my senior prom too, so I ended up having a scratched-up face for that. I still have a scar right by my eye."

Cats are always at their most unpredictable very late at night!

"My Dad..."

"My Dad would keep a bag of marbles in the freezer. If you didn't wake up the first time, he dumped them into your bed."

"The neighbor in the building across from us..."

"Glass shattering. Lived in a 6 story apartment building. The neighbor in the building across from us was having some kind of psychotic break and was throwing everything he could get his hands on off his balcony. He was aiming for the windows of other apartments. We were far enough away to not get hit but watching that go down was not super fun."
