To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

[bloomingheck1]

Hello,

I had a glitch in the matrix last night whilst dying my hair, I took the nozzle off the bottle and put it on the sink and then I mixed the dye etc and when I went to get the nozzle it was gone, I moved everything off the sink, looked on the floor but it was gone so I managed without and then once the hair dye was on I found the nozzle on the sink on top of something I'd moved and I swear it wasn't there before! Not a major event but it was a bit weird.

Do you have any glitch in the matrix stories? (Basically unexplained events)

@theshadeofgreen she remembered it. My dad was out there too and he would mention it now and again but they seemed to be happy enough to accept it was a police helicopter as did the rest of our neighbours.
They are long gone so I can’t ask but it does sometimes play on my mind, especially in light of the released videos last year from The Pentagon. At that time police helicopters were not common so I suppose they did not have a reference point to compare.
When I said it covered half the street, it was easily longer than 10 semi-detached houses. It was spinning on a horizontal axis. The light had woken the street up - it was incredibly bright but not blinding. I was honestly petrified and still cannot believe they were all standing watching it for so long while I hunkered down in my bedroom ready for Armageddon . My mum said it just disappeared … just like that.
In hindsight, I wish I had stayed out longer.

Putting things in the wash that never come out again.

There is a link to another universe at the read of my washing machine.

rear even.

On my way to my first day at a new job. Realised I got on the train and it did not stop at my station. Panic Phone call to DH and said the only way I’ll make it on time is if this train breaks down this second as we were approaching the station I needed. Train juddered to a halt as I said it. Announcement saying we all had to get off as there was a fault on the train. People around me looking at me like I was a witch. Not a glitch but very weird moment. I made it in time to the job and was very happy there for five years

So this was years before DH and I were married, in fact we were not even living togther at this stage. I had a really vivid dream that he crashed his motorbike and died. I can still even see the face of the policeman who knoced at the door in my dream. I woke up and I was actually crying. It was about 5 am and I was so shook and scared about the dream that I rang my DH ( boyfriend at the time) He literally answered on the 2nd ring from the back of an ambulance. He had been on his way to work at 5 am and had been hit by a car going at full speed who had broken a red light. She literally dragged him a good bit down the road with her car. He still has to get injections in his shoulder to this day from his injuries. and I tell this story to everyone who will listen :)

I lost my Grandmother during my first pregnancy. I was devastated, I wanted to tell her I was pregnant but she slipped away without me being able to. My daughter who I was pregnant with at the time was born on her birthday.

The other day I was near my toddler dd and saw her throw something then felt drops of liquid land on my foot. Sounds reasonable except there was no liquid near her, I had shoes and socks on and my shoes were dry, with nothing in the area to account for the feeling. It was v strange..

This has happened to me but I think I found out why.

For example about 10 times I have been walking out of the bathroom at night and feeling cold drops on my inside lower leg, as if it's pee, but my jammies are dry. It was always the same place I feel the cold water. Another time I was feeding my ducks and walked past their water, (they're very messy with water) and felt my shoe fill up with cold water as if I stepped in a puddle. I looked down and the ground was dry as was my shoe.

Both times in was my right leg/foot, inside part. I did some research and I think not might have something to do with my spinal issues.

I've had quite a few 'small world' coincidences happen to me, but this one's the oddest, considering the scale of the place.
When l was young l went out with my best friend's older brother, who was a musician, and ended up very well known a few years later. At the time he lived about 150 miles from my home town, but l stayed with his sister a lot at their parents house.
Recently l got talking to a guy on FB on a page for my old grammar school. I vaguely remembered his name, but he wasn't in my year at school, he was a couple of years older than me.
We started talking via private message, and after a few weeks he mentioned that he was a fan of the guy l'd gone out with when l was young (l hadn't known this guy from school back then), and 'he lived next door to my best friend in XXX town in the States, and l met him several times! He helped my friend's daughter set their band up.'
If it had been in our home town, l wouldn't have thought much of it, it's not a huge place. But to be next door, in the same town, in the same very small district, in a country as vast as the States....

I used to volunteer at a charity, one day a new person started working there. As soon as he walked through the door something in my head just went ‘oh there he is’, we hadn’t spoken, barely even had a chance to look at him. It took us 2 years to actually get to go on a date but (🤞) it’s all good now.

@disconnected101 - no, definitely not - he was a happy, family man. He was actually killed in the Clapham train crash in 1988.

@DameDoom

Not a glitch but a weird UFO one. 1990, the early morning before an A level exam, my mum came into my bedroom and woke me up really urgently telling me to come outside. I went down and most of the residents of our street were all staring up at this bright, spinning rugby ball-shaped thing in the sky above our houses. It was massive and covering half the houses. I completely crapped myself and ran back inside while they all just stood there open -mouthed for ages. Next day, my mum told me a police man had knocked on our door at lunchtime to tell her not to worry about what we’d seen - it was a police helicopter exercise. I have never seen an enormous, spinning police helicopter before. It was totally silent too. It was the talk of the street - neighbours phoned our local radio station and one called the newspaper but there was never anything written about it. Not so much as a jokey mention of local yokels getting themselves confused with ‘copters and UFOs. I have trawled the internet to see if anything has been written about it - can’t find one single mention. Still intrigues me today.

Watch a documentary called Encounters of the 5th Kind. It will blow your mind even more...!

Close* encounters of... [sorry!]

I had one today. I always leave my headphones in the hall by my front door in the holder they came in. Went to get them today. Not there. Okay, possible that I left them somewhere else. Gone all around the house, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.

I bought these headphones to replace another pair that got lost in my own house. I figured that old thing that you buy a new thing and oh, lookie here, the old thing turns up. That didn't happen. In looking for the more recent pair - I've had these for about a year and had a total declutter since buying them - I noticed something. It was the old pair in a very obvious position that had been searched time and time again. So, my more recent pair has disappeared into the ether and on the way, the older pair met up with them and said "I've got this. This is going to blow her mind."

I have cats so I've really searched because they're bastards who can hide just about anything. I have truly searched everywhere and truly searched high and low last time around. I claim my glitch in the matrix.

My glitch in the Matrix is reloaded, revolutions and resurrections

Neo : What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets? Morpheus : No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that you won't want to.

It’s actually ‘No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't HAVE to.’

(Sorry)

@errnerrcallnernnernnern at the risk of grinding the life out of the joke, yours was the quote in the adequate first film. [spoilers] Before he died, Morpheus later recognised that after film four, Neo would lose the will to live.

I've known things about people I had no way of actually knowing. Each time I try and convince myself I'm making stuff up but then am proven right. Sometimes it's regarding the past or present, but often it's the future.

Two have happened in church (simply because it's where I spent a lot of my youth thanks to v religious parents).

I went to choir practice one evening with a friend. She went to park on the church drive as usual but I said she shouldn't as an ambulance couldn't get past if needed. No idea why I said it, in my 20 years of going to the church no emergency vehicles had ever been summoned and people parked there all the time. Anyway she rolled her eyes and duly parked on the road.

Practice over we go into the service. I see my mum sitting on her own near the end of a pew. During the first hymn a man entered the building and sat right next to her, despite the church being 95% empty. I 'knew' immediately he was about to die (but, as usual, refused to believe this notion). Ten minutes later he keeled over onto my mother.

Ambulance couldn't get near the place due to cars on the drive (but at least my friend's wasn't there).

Maybe I realised he looked ill, but nobody near him noticed, despite there being medics nearby who watched him come in. And why had I mentioned an ambulance earlier that evening? Was very strange.

The other church one was during a morning service. The children would be in for 15 mins before heading out to Sunday School. One family wads directly opposite me, though quite a distance away with the altar between us (so not a great view, and I couldn't hear them). Their adopted son was with them, together with another young boy. I knew instantly they were adopting him too, despite there being nothing more in their interactions than if he were a cousin or friend.

Mum spent time with the family at Sunday School so I asked her about them afterwards. She thought I was stupid, and immediately went to ring them to prove me wrong. She was gobsmacked when told that yes, they were hoping to adopt him (but had told nobody so far) and the parents were incredibly touched that I'd figured it out.

I don't think this was a glitch, just an odd coincidence, but here it is.

Back in the 80s there was a shop in town that used to sell ex-juke box 7" singles. There was a single I'd missed buying when it was in the charts so I decided to look for it on the off-chance it was there. The singles were in a revolving rack about 6 levels high and four columns round so you had to flick through them - they were in no particular order, so I went through them methodically - it took me about twenty minutes.

The single I wanted was the very last record in the very last section I flicked through!

Ah sorry 🤣

No need to apologise. You were right about the quote and it wasn't a very funny joke. I'm just disappointed at resurrections after there was so much time to make an adequate sequel/reboot. Same applies to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I think.

I am convinced there is a parallel universe full of odd socks and teaspoons.

I had a bracelet with a little cross trinket on that I got when TTC - I became odd obsessed with it and paranoid over it. To me wearing this bracelet would help me conceive and protect my pregnancy etc.

One day when I was 8 months pregnant I lost it. Fuck knows how. It just fell off somewhere. I was stressed about it but by that point was so far along in my pregnancy I didn't need it as a crutch anymore.

3 years later I'm removing a problem tree from my garden and around the roots there's my bracelet. How it got under there I'll never know. The tree predated me moving in!

I still wear it now.

Cecelia Ahern wrote a novel about that @thenovice

I don’t have one of my own but my husband has loads. Maybe because if he loses something and I find it first I keep it and ‘find’ It somewhere I know he has already looked. Really does his head in 😂😂

The diamond fell out my engagement ring. I searched everywhere starting with around the kitchen sink because that's where I spend a lot of my time. I turned the house upside down for two days and couldn't find it. I decided to stop torturing myself and give up as I was never going to find it. 2 days later I found it on the rim of the kitchen sink. I wash pots at least 4 times a day how I didn't see it or it didn't go down the plug hole I will never know.
