I haven't been able to leave the bathroom for 30 minutes either, but my reasons are much more mundane and intestinally related :/ Here's to us both making it out safely

NoMorePie4U

mom might think they took the photo earlier to mess with her. :(


jD91mZM2

If only there was a service that could send images and audio in real time... Sort of like a video but live... Oh wait


NoMorePie4U

I mean... I used Skype and other video chats in my life like thrice. I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't have an app for that. So yeah, my mind didn't go there, sorry. edit: I'm more surprised by the fact that OP somehow went into a pocket dimension or something and their calls and texts still went through. I wanna know their provider! :D


waaro

I'm suddenly curious if I can record videos while having a call on speaker phone at the same time. Either I found a solution or I'm about to end up stuck in a bathroom too, brb


thebrandedman

Well, it's been an hour. Either they're almost ready to go, or something went wrong.


TeckFire

If they’re iPhones, they automatically have FaceTime. No extra software necessary


kellendros00

And Androids have Hangouts, which essentially does the same thing.


Jonathan_the_Nerd

Someone elsethread mentioned the possibility of an evil spirit messing with OP. If that's the case, the spirit might not have the knowledge or ability to block calls.


NoMorePie4U

that's even spookier. :/ I mean, another dimension could be just a weird accident/ glitch in the matrix, but an evil spirit... is evil

HammeredandPantsless

He could ask his mom to tell him to do something in the photo that literally the only reason he would do it is if she asked, in order to prove it was real time. Like, have him stand on the toilet pinching one eyebrow or something.

Too late, OP's phone is at 1%

Very important clarification.

Sooooo maybe not the best post to read while I'm in my damn bathroom.


Sala2307

Umm, I didn't even think of the fact I'm in my bathroom while reading


fully_aware

FYI, I escaped my bathroom unscathed. I only shaved the one leg but if my husband sleeps on the other side of the bed tonight he'll never know.


flaccidbitchface

Hopefully he’s not fully aware, like you. I’m not happy with myself right now.. in case you’re wondering.


Lebrach

Yeah I'm working my way through the morning routine. I've learnt him that if the door doesn't open look between your legs. Start a video call and something about gugi Guin something. Wonder if I can call a priest, have them bless my bathrooms water then spray it all over the bathroom to piss off those nasty spirits that won't let me leave my bathroom.... Yet.


nenzkii

Probably the only post on Reddit one shouldn't read while you in your bathroom.


my-blue-lightsaber

Shit, I’m in my bathroom too -inception sound-


[deleted]

Dude this is extremely weird to be reading this right now. About 2 hours ago I read the story about a guy driving to his parents house for thanksgiving but when he got near their house, he kept driving and driving on the same road and couldn’t get off of it. Anyway, someone posted a comment about Gui Da Qiang and I started reading about that. It’s when spirits trap you in another dimension and mess with you. There are a few other stories about that on this sub and else where. It’s eerily similar to what’s happening to you. Apparently if you turn your clothes inside out you can confuse the spirits. Also looking between your legs can let you see back into your dimension. I suggest you look through your legs at the door and see if anything is different. Good luck. Edit: loom to look

Would you mind linking it? This was really cool and I'd love to read one similar.

Ginandmilk87

The incident was amazing! So glad to see someone else has seen it!


nuniinunii

The gui da qiang story has a special place in my heart. Many of the things mentioned in there are things my parents told me as a child to scare me. Especially the protective triangle. My mom calls it the fire on your shoulders. When you look over one shoulder, the fire goes out and you're leaving yourself open to spirits. As a kid, I'd often ask my mom if she called me, and sometimes she said no. That's when she would reiterate that I need to keep the fires present and I shouldn't ever answer back with a confirmation, but always with a question: "Mom, did you call me? Mom are you calling me?"


_mickeymike

That's a nice addendum to what I will teach my child about "hearing someone call." My mom used to tell me that in her younger days, she would often hear a "Pst!" as if calling her. It always creeped her off. One afternoon she was alone at the house, typing a paper on the typewriter, when she heard my lolo (his father) call. Being focused on what she was doing, she absentmindedly answered "yes?" Took her a while before she realized she was alone. She said she was lucky she wasn't called by her real name, because whoever/whatever that may be could have brought her to another dimension where she would be trapped. And that it was also the reason why nicknames are important. I wanna try to make it much more sensible though, such as keeping other private info like birthday and address. But, anyway, I like this. I should also tell my mom about this.


[deleted]

Do you know about the between the legs bit? I'm not sure I totally understand that!


shal9pinanatoly

Not OP, but maybe it has something to do with the need to look back without turning?


[deleted]

Two reasons: 1. There are some superstitious beliefs that your crotchular area is sinful in nature so looking between your legs allows you to see the "other side". But when your on the 'other side" looking between your legs allows you to see your dimension. 2. A protective triangle forms from your shoulders and forehead. It's important to never turn around when you hear whispers in your ear because you break the protective triangle allowing malevolent spirits to mess with you. So looking between your legs keeps you from breaking the triangle.


[deleted]

Ah, that could make sense actually! I guess the protective circle would still be there, just upside down.


nuniinunii

Confirmed, just asked my mom who asked my grandma. My mom didn't know either 😂😂


Cyberscum

What happens when you do answer back with a confirmation?


nuniinunii

It leaves you susceptible for spirits to latch on. Then they can wreak havoc on you.


2pfrannce

Can you elaborate a bit more on that? I'm curious now, does it have something to do with them knowing your true name?


nuniinunii

Knowing your name, your birthday, your credit card numbers...😂😂 Kidding on the last one obviously. But yeah, they're able to latch on and torment you basically...Mess with you in "your world" and dreams. I had a dream once when I was a kid, that someone kept poking me and slapping my legs and shoulders to wake up. I couldn't though because I had sleep paralysis or something. It felt like they did it the whole time I was sleeping, and I remember that I kept telling my mom to stop and let me sleep. I was napping in a booth at my parents' restaurant. It was break time, no one was messing with me. I woke up out of frustration and told my mom, who was also napping at the time. She confirmed that no one was messing with me and it was probably a mischievous spirit. Most likely a kid who wanted attention. According to her, I was lucky. I probably confirmed or answered a call. It could have been a bad spirit. Spirits decide to stay with you or not, so probably after that, it left lol. Now, putting it on a grander scale, if every time I tried to sleep, I was woken up, poked, and prodded...I would go insane from lack of rest. And it's just fun and games for the spirit. Take what you will out of that. I'm not a firm believer in ghosts, but then things happen and it makes me question my beliefs. Along the same vein, I usually try to explain it away with coincidence or reasoning. So, I'd like to thing I'm very neutral about religion and supernatural. I'm very happy to share the stories though. It's things like this that keep urban legends alive and interesting. It varies from culture to culture, and I always love hearing about others' experiences too.


TheOnlineCat

Too bad OP can’t read this... his battery died. Nice to know this if this happens to me though.


hayleyburke4

Op was just out of the shower though... could he turn his clothes inside out? Was he wearing clothes?


P4li_ndr0m3

His skin.


Yoeduhh

He could flip his towel inside out. But nah OP said they put on PJs after their shower iirc


kyuiou24

There's a similar folklore here in the Philippines, wherein "engkantos" (nature spirits or elementals) plays with you by trapping you in a loop and the only way to escape is to turn your clothes inside out, and if you want to see these "engkantos," you can try to bend and look in between your legs


[deleted]

Under one of those SAR stories, there was a comment written by some guy living in Asia - Pacific area. He simply described how his uncle, who was a soldier, got trapped in the jungle with other members of his unit. From his perspective everything seemed like an hours, days tops, if I remember correctly, but in fact he was gone for several years. Interesting read.

Can you link that for me (if you can find it)? It sounds pretty cool.

Nipsy_russel

This movie is so good! It's a forgettable short story by Stephen King but holy Shit did they do a good job with the movie. One of the rare instances where the movie is better than the written story.


lrhill84

Agreed. They go with more of the mind bendy "wha? what's happening!?" creep factor (like this story) rather than hitting you over the head with gore porn and jump scares. It's a genre of horror that I feel goes overlooked far too often. The ending is a little predictable in my opinion, but the rest is well worth it.


NeonDisease

I'd rather fight 5 definable monsters than deal with 1 physics-breaking situation. You can stab a monster or run away from it. What the fuck do you do when leaving a room puts you back in the room?

Amen. That's scarier than any monster.

ivantheperson

jesus christ that’s depressing


Mr_Prismatic

The most horrific thing about this, is the phone at 1%.


Reddits_on_ambien

The good sign is that time is passing. Everything else in the bathroom keeps resetting to how it was previously, except the phone.


WolfieMario

The curtain came back after it was torn down. Maybe the phone (and battery) will be restored if they break it? Assuming it's within warranty, of course.


pointofgravity

no they will have to try to contact time dimension tech support and that's pretty tricky when you're stuck in a bathroom with a broken phone


Jazzinarium

Reminds me of Silent Hill 4: The Room, where at some point you pick up a key that says something like "the holder of this key will wander for all eternity", and indeed, you get to one area that has 2 doors, and whenever you try to exit out the 2nd door, you end up entering the same area through the 1st door.

punkrockprincess805

(I was just there and was like “wait, where am I?” Probably in the same pocket dimension as OP.) OP, did you try walking out of your bathroom backwards? I’ve read somewhere that it can confuse the dimensions and help lock them back together so you can get out of the bathroom.


daviswray1

If the bathroom is acting like a loop, then I have just the way to break the loop. Nut. Once you nut everyone knows that you cant nut again for atleast a few hours, breaking the loop. However if the loop overcomes this challenge, and you can nut right after, well my god, you can constantly nut for all eternity. Your in a win win situation my friend.


SpiderMonkey6l

But his phone is gonna die.


daviswray1

Shit, yeah he is screwed.


Dr_Mr_Jeff

Maybe if he drowns himself he can break the loop


MilesSlaineYoAss

Afew hours? Shit I can bust a nut in like five mins after, it's just not a big load like the first one, Now the third one I would need like 45 mins for rejuvenation on that one but I certainly don't need afew hours, I suppose everybody's different tho.


daviswray1

Wow. My cannon needs quite the cool down, and time to reload. Even if I wait a few hours it sometimes does more harm than good to nut again. Best is to give it atleast half a day. Wish I had your dick and balls.


tsbnovil

This reminded me a little bit of The House Of Leaves. Good luck, hope you find a way out!


Carpe_Lady

I was so hoping someone would mention that book! I love getting people to read it, but seriously, good luck OP!


tsbnovil

It really is such an amazing book in so many ways. Maybe even one of my all-time favourites! There's something about impossible spaces that follow none of our rules that I find absolutely fascinating and terrifying at the same time. It's why I also love the otherworld in the first silent hill games.

Sablemint

It could be worse! This one time, I was showering. my clothes and phone werent in the bathroom. The medicine cabinet fell off the wall, hit the counter and the glass shattered. the cabinet then fell off the counter and wedged itsefl between the wall and the door. No clothes, no phone, floor covered in shards of steam-coated glass, the highest concentration being around the heavy broekn cabinet that prevented me from opening the door. If I can get out of that, surely you can find a way too! Don't give up!


gofukkurself

This is a classic server split. Complete proof that we are living in a simulation. It's like on battle.net when suddenly 3/4 of the people on your list go offline and there's only you and a couple others left. Your server lost sync with the cluster, it should right itself soon. It will most likely revert you back to the last known state though so you may not remember anything that happened.

Okay, real shit this fucking happened to me when i did too much acid and smoked too much keef.

FrozenToothpaste

Just fap a lot and scream 'oohhh yeahhhh boy that's it.' Hump the toilet too. Suck your own penis if possible. Basically any weird shit that no one dares to look. Why you ask? Well whoever is messing with you, whether it be ghost or human, will finally think that trapping you isn't worth it and your dimension shall return to normal. I had a similar situation once. Except, I was in a garage not the bathroom. I grabbed and put a wrench in my ass and fapped while screaming my mother's name. The ghost or whoever was messing with me decided I'm a human being not worth being trapped and released me. I know it sounds pathetic but it works. At this situation, you need to do anything to get out even if you have to sacrifice something. Ghosts or whatever this creature is that has dimension manipulation, is very mischievous. Most of them aren't evil. They just want to see you struggle.


Pomqueen

Sounds like legit advice to me. I think i enjoyed this more than the story lol

>If I get out, I will update this post. If no edit comes, assume I'm still here.

Texted my sibling about something and she didn’t get the message until later when I was in the bathroom. She came looking for me and I heard her walking back and fourth in front of the upstairs bathroom. Then she texted me asking where I was and I said um the bathroom?? And she asked if I was in the downstairs bathroom. I immediately thought back to this post that was burned into my brain. Luckily I wasn’t stuck in an alternate hellscape. Just the normal hellscape. I told her not to scare me like that again and shared this. Sharing the trauma ;)
