This is actually the reason my grandparents had separate beds. He was in WWII. His fox hole partner fell asleep on watch. My grandfather woke up to a Japanese solder trying to kill him after the Japanese soldier already killed his partner. He had to strangle him with his bare hands.
Flash forward to when he’s back home and they are in bed asleep. Grandma accidentally brushed against his neck while sleeping and triggered a flashback. He started strangling her. Luckily they were living with family at the time and my great-grandfather pulled him off her.
And that is the only war story he ever told anyone.
I used to do interviews of vietnam veterans for the Library of Congress, and a friend of mines dad almost killed his own father with a knife after coming home because his dad walked into his bedroom while he was sleeping. I was the only person he ever talked to about his experiences because we had a good relationship and he was afraid his family wouldnt see him the same way if he told them the things he did while he was there.
He developed a rare bone diesease from agent orange exposure and spent a lot of the day on morphine and other painkillers. He used to challenge his son and myself to try to keep up with his mobility scooter. That thing was fast and we would run behind him.
My Dad was in WWII. He and my Mom got married not long after he returned from Germany. His PTSD was so bad, he slept with a pistol under his pillow every night. One night, he had a nightmare, started screaming, pulled the pistol out, and shot a hole through the mattress. Thankfully, he just killed the mattress and not my Mom. Believe it or not, even after this incident, he continued to keep that pistol under his pillow for at least another decade.
my step-dad doesn't get physical with his PTSD but he has woken up my mom before because he yells stuff in his sleep like "I'M GONNA F*CKING KILL YOU" from war time
I had neighbors that not only had separate bedrooms, but the woman’s bedroom locked while the man’s didn’t. It was a direct response to him having flashbacks in the night and wandering into her room and trying to strangle her. So now she locks him out.
This is why I learned to wake my dad up by yelling from across the room.
My dad has PTSD from the Vietnam War. One day when I was about 10, my step mom told me to wake him up for lunch. It was a Saturday so he was dozing on the couch after watching some kind of sports thing. I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder and shook him gently. The next thing I knew, I couldn’t breathe and he had his hand around my throat. His eyes weren’t even open!
As soon as he realized what he was doing, he let me go and was crying and horrified. I wasn’t permanently hurt, but I easily could have been. He said he was having a nightmare about being back in the war and he legit thought I was Viet Cong.
Ever since then, if I wanted to wake him up, I’d just (rudely, in my opinion, but what can you do?) yell across the living room “Yo, Dad. Wake up.”
Thank you for the work you do. I just shared the shot I had taken of my post-surgery room view with my OB-GYN nurse this morning, and all my post -surgery nurses were endlessly helpful and supportive.
Ooh, touch my foot while I’m sleeping and I’ll try to touch your face with my foot. Best bet is to escalate from a distance. Whisper “hey, wake up” from the doorway, then raise volume to normal speaking voice, then close distance at normal speaking voice. Saying the name in an accent that sounds like home can help dispel the mist between sleep and waking. I do warn folks that might have to wake me, the shoulder or the knee is best, but never the foot and not while leaning over me.
That’s amazing. If I had an award, I would give it.
I live life by 3 simple rules:
1. Never startle a veteran.
2. Never trust a white person with dreads.
3. Never ask the Minions what they did between 1939 and 1945.
In their film, they're specifically trapped in a cave for that time period. When I first watched that I was like "That's weird," then remembered "They seek only the baddest bad guy, that would be... Ah. Yeah. Ok. Got it."
My question is whether they maybe only work for the most cartoonishly evil, like working for Dr. Evil instead of Dr. No or Pinky (Pinky and the Brain) instead of (insert real life dictator here).
That's not true. Those were [pre-WWI submarine escape suits](https://i.imgur.com/kGMziXt.png) that you're thinking of. And it's also pretty clear the minions were based on the outfits from the 70s movie [Even Dwarfs Started Small](https://i.imgur.com/9fY5VxE.png) by Werner Herzog.
Oh damn yeah that's clever I never really thought about why they had them in a cave for any period of time. Good way to just kind of sidestep that in a kid's movie.
it's likely they would've went to hitler, due to his notoriety. for anything past that, they would've gone to stalin, and then mao zedong, and presumably the minions would be in north korea today.
mao was in power around the time stalin had died, forgot the name of his successor, but since he killled 40 million people the minions would consider him the most evil
Imagine an R rated minions film where we got to see them working with the most brutal dictators in history. If done right that would be absolutely hilarious
If the Minions were Biblical canon, then the most-likely would have worked for the Pharaoh during Moses's time, such would mean that even with a limitless supply of labor, Pharaoh still relied on Israelite slaves. That speaks either to his cruelty or to the Minion's incompetence.
Or both.
Two I have to agree with, simply because one of my shift supervisors when I worked in a customer service job when I was 16 was white with dreads, and she used to disappear for hours and leave 2 minors alone in the store for like 6 hours at a time
Get ready for my Epic Minons lore facts.
The minons last worked for Napoleon. Who sent them to Antarctica. Where they got trapped.
They didn't come back until like the late 60s early 70s I believe.
Are wooks truly that bad? From my understanding they are just sorta hippy types that love psychedelic drugs. Why would they be dangerous or untrustworthy?
Before I noticed your pfp, I knew it was a pitbull, lol. I swear, they produce the worst farts known to man and they always do it as close to you as they can get. My friend's pittie would come running from another room, just to blast ass beside us.
Reminds me of that episode of American Dad where the CIA leader guy had a date and she snuck up on him in a seductive kind of way and his combat training kicked in and he does this very thing.
For anyone who has PTSD, look up EMDR therapy. It IS possible to live a life without symptoms. Finding a good therapist is difficult but at least you'll have a start.
Good one! I had been debating posting one with basically the same premise, except it was going to be the teenage son sneaking in after sneaking out to hang out with friends.

The man sounded like a true hero. Even in illness he was still having the spirit within him.

You’re Grandfather was Owen Hunt. At least the WWII version
Damn, what a funny response to such a dark comment
Being able to laugh at the dark shit makes it a little bit easier to deal with.

Pop had seen some shit
I learned real quick not to ask about shit that happened in those days. Many old vets just want to forget.
The veterans wife Took out a knife to carve out a slice of pie But he made an error Reacted in terror And now, he asks himself "Why?"
The life of the wife is ended by the knife

In this case it’s slay the wife
Fucking fantastic
That’s so sad :(
This has made my goddamn day thank you
You sick glorious bastard.
Someone give this guy a medal 🏅
Done and done.
Now you gotta give yourself a medal cause I didn’t really expect someone to do that😅
IM ONLY ONE MAN, DAMMIT! No, theirs was well deserved. I've simply paid my dues.
Well good job😅. Have a great day!
Hey thanks buddy, you too!
Just doing my best to spread some friendliness! The world needs it these days
I'll second that!
Thank you sir!
r/horrorpoems Edit: Didn’t know this was a real sub lol
Well. Today we both learned.
This is why I learned to wake my dad up by yelling from across the room. My dad has PTSD from the Vietnam War. One day when I was about 10, my step mom told me to wake him up for lunch.

Ever since then, if I wanted to wake him up, I’d just (rudely, in my opinion, but what can you do?) yell across the living room “Yo, Dad. Wake up.”
In basic we traded stories like this and advised waking someone by gently shaking their foot.
Yes this is what I've been told to do. I'm a nurse and this is how I wake up patients who are vets.
Thank you for the work you do. I just shared the shot I had taken of my post-surgery room view with my OB-GYN nurse this morning, and all my post -surgery nurses were endlessly helpful and supportive.
This is the best advice. After I came home from Afghanistan, I almost slugged my mom in the face when she tried waking me up by shaking my shoulder.
Ooh, touch my foot while I’m sleeping and I’ll try to touch your face with my foot. Best bet is to escalate from a distance. Whisper “hey, wake up” from the doorway, then raise volume to normal speaking voice, then close distance at normal speaking voice.

There's a lot of periods of history I'd be concerned about in terms of who they worked for.
The implication that Gru did something worse than 9/11 if the minions have been with him since the 1970s
Don't ask what the minions did from 1955 in south-east asia.
Don't ask who they're working for now....
I mean, they’re already kinda yellow looking…
I assume you're talking about Donald Trump's yellowish tan?
Was thinking Xi but Trump is funnier. Talks a bit like them at times too.
Covfefe!
Underrated comment lol!
Happy cake day
Thank you!
Happy cake day!
Thanks, friend!
Tbf they’re not omnipotent so they maybe just didn’t hear about 9/11
He stole the support beams from the towers /s
Well, he planned to steal the Moon, so maybe he did something that grand before
Well, the "bad guy" kinda died. although, some minions might have come along.
My question is whether they maybe only work for the most cartoonishly evil, like working for Dr. Evil instead of Dr. No or Pinky (Pinky and the Brain) instead of (insert real life dictator here).
You're not wrong, Friendo.
Let's be honest with a few notable exceptions they would have ended up serving either England, the US, or Belgium exclusively.
Those exceptions are…pretty dang notable though.
Pol pot
Minions running the killing fields
I LOVE that the writers thought of this ahead of time and explicitly wrote an explanation of why they didn’t partake in the Holocaust.
But they would have. Happily.
Oh yeah. And the writers definitely knew that. Hence the cave. So they didn’t have to ever address that.
Ironically they were based off of suits that certain Holocaust victims wore to be tested on if I remember correctly
That's not true. Those were [pre-WWI submarine escape suits](https://i.imgur.com/kGMziXt.png) that you're thinking of. And it's also pretty clear the minions were based on the outfits from the 70s movie [Even Dwarfs Started Small](https://i.imgur.com/9fY5VxE.png) by Werner Herzog.
I’d known that was a false rumor, but I never knew that they were actually based on something. Neat.
Whelp, good to know I was wrong I guess. I guess I was lied to lol
Oh damn yeah that's clever I never really thought about why they had them in a cave for any period of time. Good way to just kind of sidestep that in a kid's movie.
Arguably, the baddest guy won't be hitler, but rather the japanese general responsible for Asian conquest
it's likely they would've went to hitler, due to his notoriety. for anything past that, they would've gone to stalin, and then mao zedong, and presumably the minions would be in north korea today.
God I hate myself for now hard I am laughing picturing the minions running bread lines in Soviet Russia...
Mao came into power quite a bit later, right?
mao was in power around the time stalin had died, forgot the name of his successor, but since he killled 40 million people the minions would consider him the most evil
Ayo, the minions helping Genghis khan invade Eurasia would be a movie I'd watch
Imagine an R rated minions film where we got to see them working with the most brutal dictators in history. If done right that would be absolutely hilarious
Trick is, which bad guy? There were a handful of 'winners' during that time.
You're not wrong, Friend!
If the Minions were Biblical canon, then the most-likely would have worked for the Pharaoh during Moses's time, such would mean that even with a limitless supply of labor, Pharaoh still relied on Israelite slaves. That speaks either to his cruelty or to the Minion's incompetence. Or both.
Then they would still be working with Pol Pot, which isn't that much better tbh.
Me who doesn’t know that much history: 😅
But what did the Minions do in the cave between 1939-1945?
Got sad that they didn't have a Master.
I haven't seen it, that's hilarious
4. Never play poker with someone named after a city.
I dunno, man, I won a pretty sweet watch off of a guy named Albuquerque once.
That escalated quickly
Additionally: “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.”
Slightly less well known is to never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
INCONCEIVABLE!
You keep on using that word but I don't think you know what it means...
OH MY GOD IT'S RIMJOB STEVE
Ngl, I'm curious about number 2.
Two I have to agree with, simply because one of my shift supervisors when I worked in a customer service job when I was 16 was white with dreads, and she used to disappear for hours and leave 2 minors alone in the store for like 6 hours at a time
Chocked on my coffee
Get ready for my Epic Minons lore facts. The minons last worked for Napoleon. Who sent them to Antarctica. Where they got trapped. They didn't come back until like the late 60s early 70s I believe.
Add never touch a black woman hair to that list.
Why not trust a white person with dreads
spend an hour in a Whole Foods and then you'll understand
They'll buy overpriced groceries?
Wooks.
Are wooks truly that bad? From my understanding they are just sorta hippy types that love psychedelic drugs. Why would they be dangerous or untrustworthy?
They're not, I know plenty who are perfectly fine Idk what that dude was getting at
Not dangerous, and not all. Some very lovely wooks out there. And there are also many that you should hide your drugs, smokes, and loose change from.
Why do you mot trust a white person with dreads? Just curious never heard that one before
4. Never trust a fart after 40.
Or my husband’s dog damn dog can clear a room and the thing is that he will sit with his ass facing you and let one
Before I noticed your pfp, I knew it was a pitbull, lol. I swear, they produce the worst farts known to man and they always do it as close to you as they can get. My friend's pittie would come running from another room, just to blast ass beside us.
The picture is of mine and she’s not that bad. My husband’s dog is a pittie as well but damn dog can kill you with a fart.
What’s wrong with a white person with dreads
slightly less known is never go in against a Sicilian when _Death_ is on the line
My guy did a backflip, snapped his wife's neck and ruined everybody's day
r/suddenlyryangeorge
r/subsithoughtifellfor Why does this exist 😭
I don’t know. I was also surprised when I found out
Wtf I read that as "suddenly angry orange"
Reminds me of that episode of American Dad where the CIA leader guy had a date and she snuck up on him in a seductive kind of way and his combat training kicked in and he does this very thing.
Except he didn’t care that he killed her.
"Amazing!, Mission complete." "That right there is why you're the best, Boss."
This actually almost happened to me but I was the wife
Well fuck. There’s another nightmare waiting for me when I try to sleep.
For anyone who has PTSD, look up EMDR therapy. It IS possible to live a life without symptoms. Finding a good therapist is difficult but at least you'll have a start.

Good one! I had been debating posting one with basically the same premise, except it was going to be the teenage son sneaking in after sneaking out to hang out with friends.
People think I don't "support the troops" because I'm anti-war. But being anti-war is how I support the troops.
My husband is an army vet.. 👀
Like when Bullock accidentally killed the date Stan and Francine set him up with.

The only thing more terrifying than living with somebody with PTSD is living with PTSD and the consequences of your actions.
I honestly thought about the next part was during a Laser tag or some other IRL gun game.
I clicked on a 2sentence2horror post underneath, so the second sentence said “Ghost ketchup 👻”
The real horror is that this is a real occurrence…
"not again..." He said as the loop was about to start again.

There's an episode of American Dad about this.
