27 Oddly Specific Scenarios That Are Too Real

Have you ever seen something that's just a little too specific? Like a question someone asks or a scenario someone presents that contains a little too much detail? Sometimes, things get so specific it becomes a little strange. Like the kinds of questions people ask, ending with "asking for a friend," but everyone knows that's not true because of how specific it is.

Reddit's very specific subreddit titled /r/OddlySpecific is a subreddit full of tweets, questions and other posts that got a little too specific to be totally innocent. Somehow, though, many of these posts remain relatable and realistic, which adds a layer of wonder to the mix. Seeing these kinds of oddly specific posts makes you think about the kinds of lives the individuals who write them live. Are these things happening to them? Or is it all in their head? Here are 27 oddly specific posts that get a little too real.

Dog more important
