The first hospital I worked at would play this little whimsical jingle with chimes and a baby laughing any time a baby was delivered.
Cute during the day. But after an on-call emergency surgery well after midnight, you’ve just changed out of your scrubs and into your normal clothes, walking down the dimly lit, completely vacant halls between the OR and the parking lot… and then out of no where this omnidirectional, slightly out of sync from all the overhead speakers playing it, creepy-ass carnival jingle fires off with echoing baby laughter… does its thing for like 4 seconds, then it’s back to absolute dead silence except for the hum of the lights.
Yeah fuck that. Everyone who pulled call absolutely hated that damn thing.
Kids laughing.
Someone knocking on your door.
Bright light coming through the curtains.
I would say Repeating phone calls, but I think most people here are terrified of phone calls at any time of day.

I would be even more terrified if this happens at 3 PM.

Reading the room like a pro.
‘What’s normal at 3am but not at 3pm’ is an even more interesting brain experiment
The world being quiet.

I got an alert from my security cameras of a possum in my front yard at 3AM. I think it’s not normal to see one at 3PM.
Large numbers of people falling unconscious.
Sobering up.
A dark sky.
Reverse is a server reboot, fine at 3am. Nightmare fuel at 3pm.
This may sound crazy but for anyone who ever experienced it in the middle of the night with fog…
the sound of children playing.
Horror movie vibes.
Waking up to take a piss and finding your 5 yo child playing with their toys, oblivious to the fact that it’s night time and they’re alone.
