That's not unrealistic, my mother-in-law works for the hospital in my city, and sadly a lot of nurses are squeamish or get sick easily and asks for the CNAs or techs or someone else to either deal with any blood/sick/messy patients. I also had to deal with some. It gets bad because some of the nurses will actually refuse to acknowledge the patient if they don't get help.
@@missraven420 I don't doubt you at all, but it makes me wonder why such people would even become nurses in the first place. I understand there may be some uniquely horrific cases that would trouble anyone, but if this is a common occurrence, I'm not sure if people who are easily sickened should be working in a field that is routinely bloody/sick/messy. Unrelated to your comment, but I wonder if this detail bothered so many people because it's a case of, "Male character isn't squeamish, but female characters are, despite both women working in a medical field."
Would never live in a prison neighborhood, like an HOA. Anyone who stays becomes just like them. I think in this case I would have bad wiring so they could leave. No rules about fires after dark?
Rowan clearly didn't like Joann. She told her nothing about the rule, or maybe she forgot, but when she got home, it should've been the first thing on her mind to tell her friend whether she believed it or not.
Nah you are right, she clearly didn't like her. Like wtf people assuming they are friends or whatever 🤣, they just leave you behind or trade you for better piece. But some stay and those who stay deserve stuff. You gotta love when people asume stuff without including you.
Jesus just ask WHY! is it just my autism or does it seem like the dude is DELIBERATELY asking in a way that the HOA lady can avoid answering the question? Like I feel like everything that comes after this phone call could of been solved if he wasn't being deliberately coy to keep the mystery, all these Rule stories have the same two problems, the protagonists never straight up ask why because it'd break the mystery needed for the scares, or the person giving the rules is deliberately coy and refuses to answer without a good reason because it'd break the mystery needed for the scares. I mean it could be solved with a rule that says 'We/I can't tell you why because of things outside our control.' That'd kind of be lazy writing tho better would be if the source if the rules instead of being another person beholden to them, being the thing the rules are for in the first place.
Nah, I agree. Id appreciate a weak but somewhat believable explanation much more than “sorry can’t tell you teehee.” It’s always annoying as hell to hear a character be purposefully vague for the sake of suspense. Like this HOA lady is directly perpetuating the issue by not explaining WHY you can’t laugh.
good thing it is day time rn. I too have the tism, but when you "shouted" WHY i instant went "TELL ME WHY! ain;t nothing but a heaaart break" in my brain and snickered. I would of soooo died in the story.

Thank you so much, Mr Creeps! Always appreciate your narrations of my stories, but it’s honestly so kind of you to let people know about my channel too; thank you again!
I'm getting sick and tired of these "rules" stories. It's just become a cesspool of lazy, formulaic writing. I feel like all the talent in the creepypasta community have moved onto different forms of horror because there certainly isn't any left in modern creepypastas.
yeah, this and another one are the only rule ones that grab my attention,the other one, the first one i saw, was abt like don’t look outside when you hear the whistling, it was rlly creepy to me at first lmao
dont fart before your car alarm goes off but only after you've had your morning cup of coffee while reading news articles and argued with your boss for 3 minutes at night the day prior

The implications are disconcerting. - - - - People laugh or chuckle when nervous. Children laugh even when told they shouldn’t-sometimes especially when told so. Someone could laugh unintentionally when being tickled or seeing something funny and having a lapse in awareness. For any family to take this rule seriously, they must have seen at least one person taken by the watcher. How many of them had a child, maybe even an infant, that was taken? How many mothers or fathers or siblings were taken with them when they gave into the urge to try and save them?
Thank you Mr Creeps for another awesome pasta. Excellent story and narration as always. I fell asleep on it last night, so I listened to it again. Thank you for making my morning. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
