as many americans will attest closet monsters are a common problem
when monsters squat in your closets they make noises and scare you while trying to sleep
i do not approve of closet monsters i know a lot of you will say "anti-monster discrimination" and "monster rights"
up to a point i agree
monsters are just like anyone else and have a right to self determination
i get that
i would never discriminate against a monster in housing or in hiring or even voting
since most polls are closed before sundown anyways
but i do draw a line at some uninvited monster moving into my closets and rattling my shoes and underwear around in the middle of the night without even offering so much as a "hi nice to meet you"
so when i noticed the telltale droppings in a hall closet i went into antimonster defcon 5 red alert
took off the doors and turned a light on it 24/7
it moved under the bed
if you know about domestic monster infestations i dont have to tell you how much harder my life became
i drained my bed (old school waterbed ) and moved the frame
and there to my surprise is the answer to so many questions
i noticed many years ago i would get into my bed and then at some point black out
several hours later i would come to in the same bed but the time was unaccounted for
i have concluded that the monsters had built a time warp under my bed many years ago
and have been using it from time to time to test my defenses against them by infiltrating closets cabinets attics a toilet tank 2 pillowcases and of course many underbeds
so i moved my bed to the other side of the room and left the time warp area exposed
clever eh? unless they went into the furure and knew what i was gonna do
so far no sign of that

(11,425 posts)I'm sick and tired of coming home from work to find no beer in the fridge. Sons-of-bitches could at least leave me one. I think they have been in my weed also.

(4,373 posts)I have no closet, they have nowhere to rattle, nowhere to hide.
However, the dresser drawers appear susceptible to invasions by the spawn of the under-the-bed monster, and they've moved their time portal to the chair I sit in to drink my coffee in the morning - one minute it's 6AM, and the next it's 7:00 *sigh*
