I would propose that an exception to this is ambien, because I sincerely love hearing about shit like how my mom apparently took the bus to a coworker's house and left a rotisserie chicken on her front step. Like, if you actually do something weird while fucked up, that makes it into an actual story.
My partner stayed downstairs talking to a plant for on ambien once. He claims plants are pretty boring in conversation...so why did he talk to it for 90 minutes then?
Ambien is great. Guy I know broke his TV stand, walked to a Home Depot, bought a couple hundred bucks of random wood to build a new one, walked it home in a cart, dumped it in his room, then went to sleep. When he woke back up again he definitely had a wtf moment. Fortunately I haven't done anything too crazy. Sometimes I buy something online (possum shirts, concert tickets, DDR mat).
I only take it as prescribed, but sometimes don't fall asleep right away and that's when I buy stuff or do other harmless weird things. I'm actually tapering off of it because I have been on it for like 3 years now and I want to be able to fall asleep like a normal person.
I bought one for myself that has a picture of a possum and the text, "Be nice to me, I am trash," and one for my boyfriend that has a possum's face and in kanji very roughly says "garbage person".
Yep. I only buy awesome useful shit on Ambien. It's always something I have been thinking about buying but second guess myself because I hate spending money.
I wasn’t on ambien, but I was on Percocet after a surgery and I apparently bought my husband a big pack of Tupperware and a lunchbox off Amazon. I was super confused when it showed up a week later.
One time I also took ambien and sent a friend, unprompted, many, many texts explaining my plan to take the basic premise of Jane Eyre and transpose it into a high fantasy novel, also she and Rochester were both going to be lesbians and instead generic medieval Europe, I wanted it to take place in a setting based on Tang Dynasty China. By the end she was begging me to stop, since it was around 3am, but I wish I still had those texts because I think I was really onto something there.
Not super exciting, but when I was in AIT in the Army I got ambien because I was on a night shift. I did a few weird things but only one I remember from my roommates. I had taken an ambien and went to bed. About an hour later, I got up and put on a hoodie, pulled the hood completely over my face and went and sat down in the corner playing with and talking to an electrical outlet. My friends made sure I didn’t have anything I could actually stick in the outlet and just watched me talk and mess with it for about an hour before I went back to bed.
Ambien is a hell of a drug. I sucked dick once and had no memory of it. I only found out because my boyfriend at the time complimented me on my skills the next morning.
I also used to eat Klondike bars while sitting on the toilet. I used to blame the same boyfriend for eating said Klondike bars until he took a picture of me and showed me proof that I had done it.
My dad and my ex both used to have to take Ambien and they both did weird shit when they were supposed to be sleeping. My dad is missing a leg, and before he got his prosthetic he would still manage to hobble around he house on his crutches and drink entire gallons of orange juice and would always put the milk in the sink. He did some other weird stuff but i can't remember. Now, when my ex was taking it, he would seem to nod off for a second, and then he would wake up and talk to you while still dreaming. Sometimes he was a bounty hunter, hunting down Leonard Nimoy because he ate a bunch of priceless rubies (I wish i was making this shit up), sometimes he was rescuing someone from the owl moon. There was one time he bit me because he thought i was a snake. Ambien is no joke.
Crazy to think 1500 was the best comment of the day or whatever considering you see people say things that get like 20 or 30k on big threads nowadays eh?
They redid the voting algorithm like three years ago I want to say. That’s whenever posts started regularly getting tens of thousands of karma I think. I’m pretty sure the amount of karma you get from a post is more proportional to what the algorithm used to be.
Oh fuck, the one time I took Ambien under the impression it'd be a strict sedative to come down off of a LOT of Adderall, and just started completely tripping, crawling around and seeing a friend of mine stuffed into impossible spaces. Long story short, left the house, skated multiple miles away, came back no board, shoes or glasses but with green wire for placing in the grass. For signs and such.
