Some one night stands are unforgettable.


Unfortunately, the reason a one night stand is memorable is not always great.

Redditor u/DD275 asked was very specific when they asked... "People who had one night stands on September 10 of 2001, what was the next morning like?" And people did actually have stories of trysts that turned tragic.

10. "He was spending the night in Jersey City..."

"Not me but an old friend. He was spending the night with an friends with bee of his in Jersey City (he lived in Brooklyn at the time). Long story short they literally wound up watching everything happen from the roof of her building."

9. "Trapped in the house with two crying women..."

"I used to work with a guy who this actually happened to. He was in DC so the Pentagon bombings were more what he was dealing with. It was apparently an older woman and she immediately called her friend over to commiserate and had put his clothes in to wash so he was trapped in the house with two crying women in front of the tv wearing nothing but a woman's robe."

8. "I woke up first..."

"I woke up first, saw the news, and had to go back into the bedroom to wake her up and tell her what was happening. That moment felt very intense. I had the feeling I had a dire responsibility to choose my words very carefully. We spent the next few days together. Then we dated for a couple of years and got married. We're still married and have a little family."

7. "I would have never been born..."

"Fun Fact: Both my parents were in the military at the time. If it wasn't for 9/11, then they would have never been stationed at the same military base, never have met, and I would have never been born."

6. "My news took a back seat..."

"I actually lost my virginity on Sept 10th 2001. I woke up the next morning excited to tell my buddies about my night. I didnt know about the attacks until I got to school and our teacher was listening to the news...obviously my news took a back seat to the attacks, until lunch time."

5. "She was from NY..."

"I got laid because of the 9/11 attacks. Quite literally i would not have met this woman if not for the attacks. She knocked on my door asking to watch the news because she was from ny and didnt have a tv of her own."

4. "There was a girl on a lot of missing posters..."

"There was a girl on a lot of missing posters back then. She went missing on 9/11 but didn't have any reason to be at the towers. Around 2011, they finally learned that she had a one night stand with a guy who worked in the towers and brought him lunch the next day. Terrible timing. She was from a conservative Indian family so hadn't told them where she was."

3. "Everything turned into a ghost town..."

"I woke up to a phone call from my mom, who didn't know where I was, saying "we've been bombed." I was a teen at the time and thought we were all just going to die. The weirdest part of that day was how everything turned into a ghost town. Driving home. No cars. Everything was closed. It felt like everyone died and I had missed it. I've never felt that same fear since that day."

2. "I'll never forget him..."

We met on 9/10 and he stayed the night at my house. He was a friend of a friend visiting from Seattle. We spent most of the day together in shock, eyes glued to the news. He went back to Seattle two days later and we haven't spoken since. I don't even remember his name but I'll never forget him."

1. "It was awful..."

"Not that awkward. It was awful and the awfulness was very...humanizing. We watched tv and had coffee. Nobody went to work (we were in nyc). We met up later that week. Stayed friends for a while. I just remember how sad it was."

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was widely mocked following his inconvenient slip of the tongue during a CNBC interview as he mused about finding ways to "cut" Medicare before quickly correcting himself.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
