Working as a waiter is a great opportunity to observe other people. In a restaurant or café, you can witness situations that can become a never-ending source for stories and jokes. And even though it is not always easy to spend all day on your feet and deal with eccentric customers, every waiter has a lot of things to remember, even if they quit this job long time ago.

When a toddler suddenly starts talking to someone in an empty room, everyone can freak out. Some people explain these situations with a transitional age or children’s imagination. Others, on the contrary, tend to see something mysterious and even otherworldly in this.

People get tattoos for different reasons: some people see them as decorations, others want to cover their scars, and others are seeking some deeper meaning or connection by getting them.

You’ve probably met people who claim to have seen alien spacecraft and described their encounters in detail. While some of these stories may seem far-fetched or even unbelievable, many people genuinely believe they have had these experiences. Although there is no scientific proof of the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial life, it’s up to each individual to make up their own mind based on these stories.

Sometimes it happens that children, who have only just started talking, say things that can send shivers down your spine. Some of their stories could just be a product of their imagination, or maybe they overheard them in a cartoon or during a conversation between adults. But when they mention members of the family who they’ve never heard of, many of us may start thinking that there is something supernatural going on. Our readers shared stories just like this.

Most of us love watching horror movies and, especially, judging the actions of characters. We are 100% sure we’ll never go down to the basement “just to check” and see what’s going on. And we know we won’t say cliché phrases and will always act reasonably. Yet, here we are, doing the same things. Because when we see something creepy, impulse takes over.

Many believe that children have a greater sensitivity than adults, and that is why they can understand situations in life that adults consider otherworldly. Others argue that what makes children unique is their great imagination, something that helps them tell stories that, at times, can leave us totally puzzled.

Many people who’ve gone through the tough process of preparation for a wedding know the unbelievable amount of time and effort that goes into it. According to the specialists, it takes from 200 to 300 hours of work for the couples to do everything on their own, which is equal to a whopping 20-38 days of working full-time. Still, despite all the efforts, big events like this rarely go exactly as planned.

A single thing, such as a word, can have a thousand different interpretations and convey a message. Some simple things effectively communicate stories we would not expect to hear. The mere sight of them may provoke deep emotions in their owners. Objects become symbolic when we give them context via experience, people, and ideas. As a result, learning about their backstories makes them appear cooler or more powerful, and it only goes to show how extraordinary people can be.
