Title: I'm scared
Post by: baldgye on Mon, 01 October 2012, 20:19:52: Ok so I'm new around here but I need some help trying to work out... What the **** this is... Ok, it's 2am and I can't sleep so I'm moving around my pillows and something dsnt feel right, I turn on the light and look and am confronted with a bulge that has small rounded spikes coming from it under my bottom sheet under where my pillows normally go, what the ****ing **** is it!?

I'm trying to post a pick but imgur kinda sucks on my phone atm... But any ideas in what it could be and how to deal with it without freaking out would be nice lol

Pretty sure it's mattress springs, or the devil, idk could be either.

could be some voodoo sh1t left there from an old enemy :cool:

Post by: baldgye on Mon, 01 October 2012, 20:24:45: I've not moved the sheet because its fitted and is super tight with my bed and as you can
Now see if I tried to remove the sheet, it would very much disturb what ever the **** it is... Plus... I'm super scared of spiders and if its anything like a nest I don't want to piss off momma

Have you check to see if it moved? Since the sheet it tight on the bed, try to slide out the mattress to get a side view. Kinda looks like a dinosaur -_-

I'm still here, though I've been instructed by the other members of the house not to mess with it and they will help me investigate it tomorrow morning :/ still scared, still confused, still have no clue what it is.... I don't think it's alive though as when I first discovered it, it was by whacking it pretty hard with my hand and since discovering it, it's yet to move...

I'm not really looking for solutions, just looking for possible answers, I told my house mates I wouldn't mess with it (try and move it etc) till morning I don't really have anything I could hit it with anyway... Just really asking to see if anyone knew what it might be, given that it appeared apparentally while I was a work all day :/

Baldgye, your solution is clear.
Use the Model M to your advantage. And if you don't have a model M, then beat the cr*p out of it with a logitech keyboard.
did you know, before Model M's were used as keyboards, they were used to beat burglars to death!

It wasn't there this morning because before I got out of bed to go to work, I moved the pillow it's was under to make it comftable to play some early morning Tokyo Jungle... And it's not small so I would have noticed it then...

It's wrapped around the top 'lip' of the matress and it goes down the side of the matres about 2 inches.. And on top it's about 4inches long and about an inch high....

I first I thought it might be a spiders nest or something like that, but it fails to really match any descriptions I could find :/

Bit strong, don't see how you can get so worked up and so angry about a problem you don't have to deal with, I never said I was going to capture it, or ask which kind of pokeball I should use to catch it, I only asked if anyone knew what it could be so I had some idea what it could be when I deal with it in the morning...

I'd recommend using either the dusk or dark ball as they are equipped for catching night pokemon. It's most likely a Jolteon.

Seriously, you're willing to sit on the computer and google so many different possible things it could be, probably worse than what it really is, instead of just lifting up the sheets? :l

No, I'm lying in bed in a spare room on my phone...

Post by: rowdy on Mon, 01 October 2012, 22:52:33: ^ That seems doubtful, don't bed bugs live in the springs, not make a huge nest? And in such a short time??

It'll probably turn out to be something totally mundane, or grossly freaky.

I can't really think of anything else that would get in there, apart from something (living of inanimate) in your linen press that worked its way between the folded sheet that you did not notice last time making the bed, or something (probably living) that worked its way into that position after the bed was made.

Skimming this thread was the biggest waste of three minutes I've ever acknowledged. OP you're an embarrassment to our species.

Title: Re: I'm scared
Post by: baldgye on Tue, 02 October 2012, 04:31:02: Have to say, this has been an enlightening thread for me. The mystery is now over and is not as exciting or scary as I had feared/hoped, and was indeed guessed by someone on here.

It was infact a spikey rubber ball that is used in a tumble dryer to help the drying process. A process stated and completed while I was at work by my other half (who was absent last night). I do not have pics because I had to leave ASAP, and I could have lied, but didn't want to anger the angry anymore than I already have.

But I would like to thank you all, some of the posts in this thread where genuinely helpful, and the rest where largely hilarious. This was never suppose to be a troll thread but it kind of ended that way, which is kinda reassuring.

Title: Re: I'm scared
Post by: rowdy on Tue, 02 October 2012, 05:39:50: Glad it turned out to be something totally mundane :)

Thank you for the update - if you had left it until tomorrow everyone would have been wondering ...
