wtf happened last night?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - wtf happened last night? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 6/16/2009 4:52:39 AM EDT

I woke up around 3AM, there was a thunderstorm, lots of rain and lightning. I got up to close the other windows but left the one in my bedroom open. the rain and lightning was keeping me from falling asleep. all of a sudden there was this godawful formaldehyde and sewage smell coming through the window, I'm thinking where the fuck could that come from? no really, wtf? chupacabra? I got scared and unsheathed my knife. (I didn't trust myself with my gun, I didn't want a AD because I'd be on a hair trigger, I was scared, my skin was crawling) what the fuck was that smell coming from, there had to be something out the window, a knife shoud do it, chupacabra's are only a 4' tall winged monster

anything that comes through that window with a freaked out me on the other side of the knife is going to end up a bloody dead lump, I don't care what it is. no wait, chupacabras are supposed to smell like sulfur, what else smells like formaldehyde and sewage? a zombie? what the fuck? what was it?

I watched the window. and waited. after about 5 minutes the smell started to go away. after 10 minutes it was gone. I put my knife away and went to sleep.

what could have made that smell? what could it have been?

If a strange smell is enough to make you so jumpy that you don't trust yourself with your pistol, what are you going to do if someone breaks in?

I'm gonna be nice and guess that the rain flooded a leech bed or something of the like , and the smell WAS sewage.

if I thought it was human I wouldn't have been that scared. burglar, big deal.
however, with the state of "oh shit"ness I was in, the instant someone would have stuck their arm in the window they woud have lost it.

then I'd realize it was a person, and if they needed some more knife I'd give it to them, otherwise I'd fall back, get the gun, dial 911 and wait for any further hostilities.

ya, maybe it would have been better to simply stay farther away from the window, keep my damn finger off the trigger and keep it pointed in a safe direction. that would have given me a safety zone for identification and reaction even if it was some kind of godawful smelly mutant.

So you didn't think it was human.

Dude, there are no boogeymen.

I can't imagine drawing a weapon over a smell. If you are that jumpy/paranoid, maybe there are other things going on that you should talk to your doctor about?

It's leach bed and it's part of a septic system.

that smell was not supposed to be there. something was up. if it was glass breaking, fine, it's a burglar, I have a gun there and I know what I'm dealing with.
if I knew what it was I wouldn't be posting this wacky shit.

term for a perforated drainage/vent pipe that comes off from your septic tank and is buried underground, and when the ground is saturated in water it floods your septic and what-not, which is was most likely caused that smell. your own shit and piss
This is a pretty elaborate design but you get the idea.

Yeah - if I smelled something bad, and my immediate response was to draw a WEAPON - I'd have to take a look in the mirror and either stop drinking or stop watching scary movies, or both.

if you hear a noise outside your window at 3am, what would you think?
what's the difference from a smell you know isn't supposed to be there and you have no explanation for?
what if you smell cologne, or beer, or fried chicken breath coming in your window at 3am? oh nooo, silly you, go back to sleep.
you might not wake up again. I'm not that stupid.
you can be as stupid as you want and laugh about it too. I don't care.

Nobody is picking on you for being concerned about an unusual smell.

An unsual smell could indicate a gas leak, a chemical spill - all sorts of things that could be potentially dangerous.

What people ARE picking on you for is that your response to an unsual smell is to draw a weapon.

Sorry man, got wasted and was at the wrong house. As for the sewage smell, well, when I saw the naked dude with the knife I crapped my pants. Won't happen again man.

I wasn't concerned. I was scared. when I get scared I'm going to draw a weapon.

Where leeches sleep and fornicate. The thunder probably woke the smelly little suckers up, too.

What probably happened is the rainwater filled the storm drains rapidly and vented the air that normally occupies that space near your home.

OP I've had some very strange encounters back here in the booines of WV and I can tell you the main difference between me and you is I would have gone to look.
I've done this many times at a strange or unusual sound or smell just head over to it while others are running away,yep I'm a little crazy

of course I have a gun with me,and a sword

A noise during a thunderstorm? Not a fucking chance. A loud hiss and bang while working with explosives? Probably, but not scared enough to shit myself and try to stab the noise.

Seriously, you might as well buy a skirt and some makeup.

And you didn't say jack shit about a noise outside your window, Charlene, you pissed yourself over a smell.. Allow me to refresh your memory (and terrify you all over again)

all of a sudden there was this godawful formaldehyde and sewage smell coming through the window, I'm thinking where the fuck could that come from? no really, wtf? chupacabra?

Again, purse and tampons. Buy them, Wanda.

Fuck me, arfcom crack up of the day.

It's the only explanation, too! Why would the smell of shit scare you more than a burgler? Because it isn't human. It's an imaginary shitmonster. It's so terrifying that if an innocent bystander popped up before the shitmonster, you'd blow his brains out. Too dangerous to risk target ID, when the smell of the shitmonster is present. A half second hesitation and you're dead. Better go with the knife.
