Hello,
Long time reader/non-submitter here. I've long considered sharing this bizarre but cemented memory of mine with you, and tonight I've decided is the time to do it, for some reason.
I must've been around 12 (mid-twenties now) years old when I went to live with my father for what would turn out to be a short time. Both my parents had a great deal of issues and vices, and frankly neither ever escaped their demons well enough to provide what anyone would call a healthy home. I say that to give credit to the fact that I was likely stressed as a kid, far more stressed than I'd ever realize between distractions like Everquest and Starcraft. Still, stressed or not, this event is so bizarre and vivid in my mind that I could never rationally describe it as anything less than a bizarre anomaly in reality, or what you might call a glitch. I don't know myself.
I could go on about weird messages left in my dad's apartment when he moved in, and how it was excessively draining, but suffice it say that I played a lot of games to get by my time there. One day, while my dad was away at work, I was playing Starcraft with some of my online buddies. I got up to get some water, and I grabbed a mug out of the cabinet. The water came from a gallon in the refrigerator, likely refilled. After I poured it, I went back to my room, set the mug down beside me on a desk to my left, and went back to my game. This was not a crowded desk, just a bare, white particle board piece of furniture; yet, when I turned my head away from the cup of cold water, not a moment later I heard boiling. I looked back to my left, and sure enough, the water in the cup was boiling, visually and audibly- I was stunned. I couldn't comprehend how, but I just looked at it for a time, probably 10 seconds or so, until I reached out to feel it. When I touched the cup, the boiling stopped immediately. Baffled, I of course told my friends online, but telling others just never has the same effect.
This story is the main reason I've frequented this subreddit. I know there are more bizarre and consequential stories than a momentarily boiling cup of cold water, but I'm sure many of you can understand how even a minor event, glitch or not, can leave you questioning things in a big way.
tl;dr After pouring a cup of cold water, it began to boil.
