We’ve all probably woken up to some unpleasant sounds in our lives. Some screaming kids? Sirens right outside your window? Heck, even your old alarm clock can seem like the worst sound in the world when you haven’t gotten enough sleep. But once you read through these 15 examples, you’ll realize what you’re dealing with might not be so bad after all.

#15. Old school horror

“The old alarms we all had in college. The little black digital one that plugged in but had a battery compartment just in case. The one that woke you up with that ear splitting EHXH EHCHH EHHZXH sound. . .I still jump when I hear that sound in movies.”

#14. No matter who is doing it

“Vomiting.”

#13. Either or

“I don’t have kids but I imagine that blood-curdling, red in the face scream a young child can do is the worst. Either it’s something serious and that’s terrible or it’s not serious and it’s frustrating.”

#12. For the LOL

“My starfish yelling THE TANK IS CLEAN!!”

#11. Where there shouldn’t be any

“A burst pipe or any other sound of running water where there shouldn’t be any.”

#10. I mean…hard to argue

“A SWAT team breaching your front door.”

#9. An actual fire

“A fire alarm as a reaction to an actual fire.”

#8. The damn kittens

Cat giving birth. Our old cat (RIP) gave birth under the bed right up the end where our heads were and the noise of the cat and then the damn kittens was horrible as hell at 3am.

#7. Ugh go away

“Someone screaming your name.”

#6. First world problems

“Your phone being unlocked by your jealous partner.”

#5. Can confirm

“That, ‘Hurk… Hurk… Hurk…’ sound your cat makes before throwing up.”

#4. You told your ma

“The sound of the garbage truck coming down the block and you gonna get a ass whoopin cause you were gaming late the night before and told your ma that you wouldn’t forget to take the trash out.”

#3. Close by

“Rifle fire. Close by.”

#2. Someone’s in the house

“Girlfriend – “there’s someone in the house”.

This actually happened and I found two smack-heads downstairs trying to steal mobile phones, purse and more worrying…photo albums!

Thankfully they ran when confronted as all I had to defend us was an iron!”

#1. Midwest life

“Tornado sirens. My brain eventually decided it hated them so much that I could sleep through them despite living 100 feet from one.”

We are a social species…but that doesn’t mean we don’t need our alone time. Certain activities, like going to the movies or eating at a restaurant, are often done in the company of others, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to do them alone!

Here are 10 other things that you may have been intimidated to do alone, but that are definitely worth pushing out of your comfort zone for.

#10. Check out your favorite band – or find a new one.

If you’re bored after a set and want to go, you can. If you’re totally digging the band and want to stick around for autographs, no one is going to complain. Perfection!

#9. Go see a play or musical.

I have trouble finding people who are interested in local theatre or have the time and money to splurge on the latest touring show every once in a while – but just like the movies, why miss out on something you’re dying to see just because you don’t want to go alone? You shouldn’t!

#8. Go to an amusement park.

Spend a day in the sun, riding the rides you want and not having to share your funnel cake. Perfection.

#7. Learn a new skill or sport.

Take art classes or join an archery club – you never know when you’ll find something you love and meet interesting new people in the process.

#6. Volunteer.

You’ll meet other like-minded people and engage with a cause you believe in. What could be better than that?

#5. Travel.

Society will try to convince you that traveling alone – especially if you’re a woman – is dangerous and ill-advised. If you’re careful, it’s not, and if you have the money and the time, there’s no better way to spend it.

#4. Take a hike.

It’s important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings to ensure your safety, but don’t let the fear of going alone hold you back from the awe-inspiring experience of trekking through nature, solo.

#3. Sign up for a dance class.

It’s great exercise and you might like it – why not give it a try!

#2. Go out to dinner.

Grab a good book or just watch the other people – not having a companion is no reason to rob yourself of the experience of dining out. Even if you do have an SO, going alone can be a liberating experience. Do things on your own timetable and order dessert without checking around first.

#1. Explore a museum.

Chances are that this is something you would do if you found yourself out of town on your own, but something you might not think to do in your hometown – except why not? Even if you’ve been in your local museums before there are always traveling exhibits, and having someone along doesn’t make learning any more or less fun.

 

What do you think? Are you going to try some? I’ve never eaten out alone in a sit-down restaurant so maybe that will be next on my list!
