Today, I was home alone. It was very dark and so I went to turn on the lights, when I heard the sound of a gun loading. I dropped to the floor but never heard a gun fire. I got up and heard the sound again. When I got lights on, I discovered it was only my printer telling me it was out of paper. FML

Today, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with the lights off. It was 1AM, and I'd just finished watching a scary movie, so I was a little paranoid. I was about to fall asleep, when an eerie light lit the room. I jumped, got tangled in the sheets, and hit my head against the bed frame. Where'd the light come from? Not a space ship. Not someone breaking in. It was my phone. FML

Either paranoid or suffering from PTSD. Or maybe your printer is serious about getting some paper by any means necessary. ("I need that paper now, b****! Don't make me hurt you!") I can't imagine why else it would sound like a gun being loaded.

you should have called the cops. they would've negotiated with the printer into letting you go.

Or the person got scared shitless. I would do the same thing if I heard something like that in the dark. I doubt he's paranoid.

#114, it's bad to stereotype people based on their race, but it's OK if it's based on where they're from? Hypocrite!

OP is an idiot. How dumb do you have to be to drop to the floor on hearing a printer sound? YDI

Lol half asleep or what? I've never confused my printer with a gun. I did get scared by a dog I saw at work once that chased my friend around only to learn that putting up my hand like I was gonna throw something at it scared it off haha

#35 do you want to be the one to tell the pervy dudes that 98% of girls with "hot pix" on the internet are actually obese women or middle aged male truckers who like the attention from young boys...

That's true too. I'm not really a young woman- I'm actually a 56 year old, grossly overweight male with homosexual tendencies. I'm currently slathering my naked body in peanut butter and listening to my parakeet speak Spanish.

The main thing I grasped from that is that you taught a parakeet Spanish, which is impressive. I never even heard of foreign speaking parakeets, strangely. I now have the urge to teach a parakeet Russian.
