To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

Still glitching?

I'm basically just posting this to see how far past 1000 we can get

Love reading these!

There's a glitch in the matrix

@LadyEloise10 yes.

It's 1005. Will my post make it 1006 ?

Ooooh the limit does not exist

Anyone else seeing that this thread is now over 1000 and still receiving comments? Is this a new thing or a glitch?

Could well have been Starlink to be fair.

Could these have been starlink satellites? The look like a string of stars moving across the sky.

A few friends and I were sat outside in the garden on a summers night. We were looking at the stars and noticed one but couldn’t work out if it was a shooting star or a plane. It was moving in a really straight line but didn’t look like a plane, almost straight after a second star/plane appeared from a cloud and followed the exact line and the other one disappeared. It was like a conveyor belt, and happened about 5 times. I still can’t explain it.

I've just thought of another one that happened recently.

My DS had a locker key for work that he had lost. He got a new one and months passed. The lads then decided to hide his current key.
During all of this time I had bought him a new pair of work pants that he just left on his floor gathering dust. Never worn. They still had the sheet paper in them.

I shoved them in the washer so I could put them away myself, and when I empty the washer, a key is resting on the drum.
It was a locker key. But he had never worn those work pants. They were the only thing belonging to him in the washer. I have done many washes since he lost his key.
When he took it to work to see if it actually was the locker key, it worked, and inside the locker was they key they had hid.

I have a couple, probably explainable, but weird at the time

1. as a student in the 90s I lived in London's East End. Our flat was an old terrace house. I couldn't get a picture on my tv so was wiggling the portable aerial around. Suddenly, I got a snowy silent black and white picture of sorts. I could make out women in Pakistani dress sitting on chairs in a room. I was looking at it for ages. One lady got up at the same time I stood up and looked out of my window.

I saw her come out of the building opposite our flat! My telly was picking up the cctv from the dentist 🙃 but I couldn't get actual bbc or itv!

2. not me but DP. Where we live now, he has always lived. There are bits of coast that no-one can get to, but he has, years ago and by rope that he used to hide or remove completely.

He went down one day and caught sight of someone. He was a bit annoyed that someone else had figured out how to get down. He noticed that this man was wearing a hat and a long dark coat. He saw the man go into a cave. There was no other way off the beach. For ages he didn't reappear so DP went over to the cave. You guessed it, empty.

Later on he was having a pint in the local and mentioned it. One of the old boys said "Oh, you've seen him too, then, the old coast guard". 😳

3. our house is old. I was walking towards it one day holding my baby and some shopping. I saw DP open the front door and walk into the side room. I thought he was being rude as he could have come and helped!! Walked in the house and DP was upstairs playing music and not known I was back. So who opened the door?!

Years later, I met someone who used to live in our house as a teenager. His parents had had a medium of sorts in the house one day who had told them the presence of an old man still lives there. No one feels scared in our house, it's a nice place to be, thank goodness!!

I keep dreaming I win money. Unfortunately never came true.

But I remember in 1st year of high school dreaming I had a specific pair of trainers that I really wanted but were expensive so I never mentioned them to my parents. One day I came home from school and they had bought me the exact trainers as a surprise.

I also think my child is up to something specific and she does it later. Maybe mothers intuition?

I was about 4 years old and the phone rang. Just as my mum answered I said 'that's going to aunty Carol. You're going to tell her you're going to have a baby boy and you're going to call him Jonathan Mark'.
My parents say that I didn't know my mum was pregnant. My parents knew, and were planning on telling their family (they hadn't yet) but they didn't know what sex the baby would be and hadn't thought of any names.
They did have a baby boy, and they did call him Jonathan Mark.

Dedalus it's odd isn't it? I have had dreams where I'm flying, but usually I'm mid-flight before I think about it. Not doing any deliberate movement to get airbourne.
I wonder if flight is some sort of common fantasy and by default we only have certain ways of working out how to fulfil it, iyswim.

That's really interesting - I've never watched or read any Douglas Adams but maybe I've absorbed that from somewhere else along the line.

A few years ago l went to see a psychic. I hadn't seen one in years, and l didn't know any near where l live now - l moved 150 miles from my home town nearly 10 years ago.
So they couldn't have known me, or anyone who knew me. I found one online, a few miles from where l lived, and booked it under a different name.
When l arrived at the place (new age shop, in an area l didn't know, l had to use the sat nav to get there) there was a man in the shop looking out of the window.
When l went in, before l'd even closed the door behind me, he said "Who's XXX?" (my dad's name). Then he laughed and said "he was in the car with you, he was out and in here before you'd even switched the engine off!"
So l went for the reading, writing stuff down, and he was good, he told me a lot of stuff he couldn't possibly have known.
About halfway through, he looked really distressed and said "Oh no, no, no, suicide!"
My mother had taken her own life at 83 five months after l'd moved to where l live now. No one here knew her, or that she was dead, or how she died. I wasn't working at the time, and the only friends l had here at the time didn't know l was going to see a psychic.
I can understand people saying "oh, they always say, do you know a John or a Mary" which is true in a lot of cases, but not everyone has a suicide in their close family. He actually gave me details of how she did it (which was unusual, even the coroner said that to me) and said she wanted to say she was sorry, and that she was with my dad, he'd come to get her when she died.
I honestly can't explain it. But it did give me some peace of mind.

In November 1996, l got a phone call at 5am to say my dad had passed away in hospital. It was expected, he'd been very ill, so sad, but not really shocking or surprising.
That day was awful, heavy snow, and my husband and l had to go to the hospital to collect his things, then go and register the death. Went back to my mam until early evening, then went home. By then it was about 7pm, and still snowing.
We lived in a small modern estate, at the corner of a cul de sac. My husband suggested we had fish and chips, as it had been a long day and we were tired and hungry. He said he'd go for them, so l put the money on the hall table and went to feed our dogs in the kitchen.
My husband went out, l heard him shut the front door, start the car, and the headlights came on as he reversed the car off the drive.
About a minute later my eldest dog ran to the hallway, jumping up at the front door, wagging his tail, very excited, but not barking. I thought my husband must have forgotten the money, and opened the front door to check, but the car was gone and there was no one about.
When my husband came back, l said "Did you forget the money? Why did you come back?" and he looked bemused and said "I didn't?"
I told him about the dog, and he looked at me and said "he used to be like that when your dad came, he'd always look in the little window at the side of the front door before he knocked, and the dog used to get really excited to see him." Which was true. My dad used to let our dogs out when we were at work.
My husband said that when he'd gone out to the car, there was no one in sight (we had a street lamp at the bottom of our drive) and the only footprints in the snow when he came back were ours, mine from the car to the house, and his there and back.
I've no idea what happened, but my husband reckoned it was my dad letting us know he was alright.

I should add, I knew the game didn't work without the disk (it wasn't a download type) as I would frequently pop the disk out to close the game rather than closing it down

When I was about 8 I was playing a computer game with 2 friends. The game was on a disk and if you were to take the disk out the game would stop - as you would expect. So we were playing the game and one of my friends brother shouted for her up to the window as we all lived on the same road. All three of us went to the window at the front of the house and the brother told her it was time to go home as it was getting dark so both my friends left and I went to continue playing the game. I was playing for a good half an hour before my mum told me it was time to get ready for bed. I closed the game and went to put the disk back in its case except the disk wasn't in the computer. I searched everywhere, even inside the computer, I was panicked because it was new and I would get in trouble. I told my mum and she accused one of my friends of taking it home, but how would that be possible if I was still playing the game? To this day jt baffles me as I remember I was the last one out of the room to go to the window and my friends went straight downstairs after, when would they have had time to take it and even so how would the game still be playing

My old desktop computer was on a desk just beside the back door. It was very easy to reach over and open the door slightly whenever the cat wanted either in or out. One afternoon the cat went out. She came in a few minutes later. She went out. She came in. She came in again. I gave my head a quick shake and decided that I had lost track of letting her out by being distracted. She went out, came in, went out, went out again, and then came in for the last time.

After the first glitch, I know that I was paying attention to which side of the door she was last on. Total number of outs matched the total number of ins but just didn’t occur in the correct order.
