Lol. My home (not even a house, but a flat) is WWII era lol. It has rudimentary electrical installation. Like, it fullfills all requirements...if we back the clock by around 30-40 years. Some parts of it still have lead sheath. For some reason. And I have old communist newspapers as "insulation" in the floor xD

Anyway, what I wanted to say...if you live in similiar conditions, everything that your mind connects to possible shortcircuit somehow manages to reboot you from sleep to full awareness within nanoseconds. xD

The other night I heard a weird explosion sound and eventually classified it into the firework category and moved on. It was a meteor. Always investigate the weird sound at 5am, who needs sleep?

Damn, one of your neighbors might have found baby Superman instead of you.

10x worse with cats. What the fuck have you gotten into…

I sometimes wonder if attributing every weird noise to the cat is dangerous. I'll hear something and think "ah, it's just the cat" and go back to sleep without checking.

*gun cocking noises"

meh, probably the cat.

Just get cats! Then you can just blame all strange noises on them.

My problem is that my landlord would make random unscheduled visits with his dogs. I assumed it was him or his dog. It was a home invader, who found the front door unlocked. My landlord left it unlocked. I know it was him, because I parked in the back and never used the front door.

My cat once deterred a home intruder back when I lived in a very shitty first floor apartment across the street from several very cheap bars. I had a rack of DVD's by the front door next to a small table like area where I'd put my keys. My cat would be sitting there when I got home, or when outside sounds got interesting, and occasionally he would knock over that DVD rack when he'd leap away, especially if a loud sound scared him.

then one time I got home to a busted lock and a slightly open door. I tried to run in, but that dvd rack had fallen forward from him kicking off of it, bounced off the wall, and landed between the door and the wall, essentially wedging it closed. I had to hulk it open, crushing the dvd rack, but that had kept the intruder from actually getting in. My cat was panting in panic, so it probably happened only minutes before I got there. I made sure that cat lived like a king for 15 more years.

Home maintenance is 98% keeping the water where it belongs and out of where it doesn't.

After decades of it, any deviation, whether sound or creak or mark or moisture, gets my immediate attention like a frugal, OCD prairie dog intent on minimizing the cost of whatever impending home disaster is about to cost it thousands of dollars.

One morning I had a sleep paralysis while heat radiator was audibly leaking water. Woken up by sound of slowly unfolding emergency, but unable to do anything about it, even take a look, what a timing.

Anyway, when I finally was finally able to look, nothing was out of ordinary. It was just a sleep paralysis hallucination, either fully fabricated or creatively reinterpreting sounds of water in pipes from some works
