30 of People’s Wildest ‘Oh No, Not Again’ Situations

‘These are not ‘my’ fires. They are other people’s fires’
30 of People’s Wildest ‘Oh No, Not Again’ Situations

Everyone’s experienced the dreaded feeling of whispering “Oh no, not again” as something, unfortunately, happens yet again. Mine is the yearly tradition of bolting through the airport 20 minutes after boarding time to discover that, as always, my fastest sprint won’t stop the plane from leaving without me. 

One Redditor’s “Oh no, not again” moment is a little more harrowing, and happens more often. Every few months, they wake up to sirens, lights and several police officers banging on their door. Apparently, the previous tenant of their home has several warrants out for her arrest, and hasn’t updated her address since moving. Despite spending four years trying to explain this to local law enforcement, the message never seems to stick. 

“They either don’t believe me when I tell (them) I have no damn clue who this lady is or there is some issue where they can’t easily put a note in the system to quit fucking raiding my house,” he said, noting that this traumatic wakeup call has “happened six times in the past eight months.”

Other Redditors know what it’s like to be trapped in a fucked-up Groundhog Day moment as well, and have described the “here we go again” moments that haunt them, which include tales of double diarrhea, an email oopsie and bedbugs.

TourguideNixon 9y ago I'm a fairly heavy sleeper, so for a long time I've had a loud alarm clock placed across the room so that when it goes off I'm fully awake due to the time it takes to get up, walk across the floor and turn the thing off. Recently however my body decided it wasn't going to let me get in the way of sleep that easily, so now whenever its been going off I'll unconsciously get up, walk across my bedroom, tear the clock out from its socket and then drag it back into bed with me.
von_neumann 9y ago I'm helping host a massive party in college, hundreds of people. It is 2am and things are winding down, just a few people left dancing. There is this one really drunk guy who keeps trying to grind on this one girl, who keeps telling him to shove it. Finally he does it again, and she maces him. Не falls to the floor and screams Fuck! Not again!. 798 ...
CatOfGrey 9y ago At least three, maybe four times now, I have attended a formal banquet, and put out a small fire on the table caused by people not keeping their napkins away from the candles. The most recent time was two years ago, where I dipped my napkin in my iced tea, and pushed it in onto the miniature inferno, without interrupting my conversation at all. Someone asked about it, and I replied Oh, I've just done this several times before. And no, these are not 'my' fires. They are other people's fires. 543 ...
 9y ago Bedbugs. Jesus Christ. The barracks I lived in was filled with them. It took months before anyone would do anything and we weren't allowed to rent a local hotel. After weeks of treatment. It seemed we were bedbug free. I moved into an apartment off base, and not a week later I saw those little bastards crawling across my new apartment floor. I have never since felt the rush of fear/anger/sadness that I felt after seeing those bastards again. It took 2 more months of more treatment. I'm still not sure if the apartment building had them
paleviolet 9y ago Sent an email to a couple of the professors at my university, the main purpose of which was an attached file. Forgot to attach the file, sent another e-mail like, 'Woops sorry everyone, forgot to attach the file! Please find it attached here' - forgot to attach it again. This alone still makes me cringe, but as if this wasn't enough, a few months ago I started working with one of these professors as an assistant to a major conference he's organising for next year. It was up to me to send out the 'Call for Papers' email to

Scerabi 9y ago Police lights start flashing in all the windows. Seven officers have my house surrounded. All the neighbors are outside watching. Sheriff beats on the door while two deputies stand behind him with their hands on their guns. Apparently there is a warrant out for a lady whose last known residence was the house I had moved into four years ago. They either don't believe me when I tell her I have no damn clue who this lady is or there is some issue where they can't easily put a note in the system to quit fucking raiding

bad_at_hearthstone 9y ago Edited 9y ago I sprained my ankle when I was 15, and it's continually re-sprained every so often ever since. I was very active before doing martial arts and hiking, and after two re-sprains while working well within my comfort zone I quit my passions for almost fifteen years. Now I'm 30, fat, and very unused to physical activity. Last year I decided to hell with it and took up martial arts again... sure enough, I sprained the ankle again doing a high side kick, but I'm back at it after a month of downtime and with

JEesSs 9y ago Not a story, but tonsillitis. Never had it as a kid, ever, and then I started getting it basically once every month around the age of 22. Fortunately I haven't had it in about a year now. For those who don't know, it involves a killing fever + headache that lasts for maybe three to four days. Worst timing was when I had to cover at a cafe I worked at for every day of the week, both opening and closing with my manager.. I got it the second day or so, and by the end of
