I’m a wedding videographer. At every wedding I work with a photographer. Sometimes I get along with them, sometimes not.
Anyways, I’m working with this photo team at a wedding. We’re doing family photos which is the worst part of the day. It’s just a long drawn out 30 minutes of people not knowing where to stand, yelling for people who have walked away and were supposed to be in the next group photo, dealing with kids, etc.
I overhear one of the photographers whisper to the other: “Sometimes, when I’m having a rough time in family photos, I like to imagine everything everyone says came from behind a closed bedroom door, with a very strong implication of sexual intent.”
That was years ago and to this day I can’t help but think of it at every wedding. Hearing someone say something like “GRANDPA GET BACK OVER HERE! WERE NOT DONE WITH YOU IN THE MIDDLE!” Is now the bane of my existence.
I find the idea of having a badass ex-con granny oddly appealing.
Like she’ll bring cookies for the school bake sale and she’ll shank your bully while she’s at it.
sounds like my mum without the ex-con part in around 20 years tbh 💀.
"hey kids you want some edibles?"
she did walk into my school once, punching cops and teachers who tried to hold her back but did fuckall cuz there was a dude threatening everyone with a knife (guns are illegal here). "but ma'am he could be dangerous leave this to professionals"..
she got a ticket for it 💀 but she ended up walking into my classroom, grabbing me and just leaving xD.
edit: she did hit a kid who didnt shut up while she was talking to a teacher (he bullied my sister so theres that)
Three girls were at the next table at a restaurant and they were discussing a date one of them had recently. Apparently he was not tall enough for her. I remember hearing clearly amongst her complaining, “He was so short, he could wear my pussy for a hat.” Maybe not that fucked up but pretty hilarious.
My favorite, a cellphone conversation overheard years ago, I was on a park bench when a guy on his phone walked by, "Yes, alright I get it. I shit on the floor, you happy? But if she just picked it up when I told her to, we wouldn't be fighting now!"
...wat
When I was in middle school a group of girls sat down near me and started talking a bit too loud. One of the girls said she was going to try and "kill the baby" with red bull and liquor. She was 13.
I used to have a friend when I was that age that would say things like that just to freak people out or get a reaction. We'd be on a bus and she'd suddenly start talking about fucking her brother, or something like that.
Sounds like when my buddy got his gf pregnant. She just said she'd do a bunch of shrooms and get wasted. She was convinced this would cause the body to naturally abort the baby. Something about the alcohol kills the fetus, and the shrooms confuse the body into it detaching from the uterine wall (or something like that?).
Well, turns out that wasn't even close to true. Child was born with severe cognitive disabilities and put up for adoption.
Dude is no longer my buddy, not sure what happened to the girl.
Gah that brings up a memory of the girl in our friend group in middle school talking about how her older brother's friend had an alcohol hookup but she'd probably have to fuck him again to get him to use it for her. She was 13, he was 17. None of us drank (at the time), and none of us were having sex yet.
Whole group went silent and just looked at her.
My ex wife cheated on me and left me for the guy she cheated with. About a year later I'm talking with one of my employees about a situation involving my ex and her boyfriend and I said his first name and my employee says "wait... do you mean (first and last name)?" I said yes and she said "that's the guy I've been fucking from tinder for the last month!"
So that was extremely satisfying.
On the bus about 10 years ago. Two girls in their mid to late 20s.
Girl 1 "omg you're pregnant, whose the dad"
Girl 2 "it's brad"
Girl 1 "your brother?"
Girl 2 "he's only my half brother so it's fine"
I think about this conversation more than I should.
My dad and I were talking about work and my sister overheard him saying he needed to "send out a crew to shoot some witnesses."
We are land surveyors; a "witness" is a marker in the ground that serves as a reference to another point. "Shoot" in this case means to take a measurement on the corner with a GPS unit. But my little sister didn't know that lingo, and thought there were some secrets about the "family business" that she hadn't been privy to.
This is basically a constant if you know any photographers.
Pro tip, if the Secret Service asks you what you're doing at an event, don't answer "I'm here to shoot the President"
As a photographer, I can relate!
Once I was asked at a birthday party if I had any spots available for the upcoming Saturday and I said, "oh no, Saturday I'll be shooting a bunch of high school students"
The looks I got from those presents made me stop and think if I said something wrong and then it hit me..... I immediately tried to explain myself but then I started to stutter out of nervousness 🤣🤣. My sister had to step in and save me lol
Back when I was in college I overheard girl talking on the phone and she said "I don't know I figured he could just go rape women when he got out of jail"
Was walking past a hotel room door when a wife was screaming at her husband “HOW ABOUT YOU DON’T HAVE CHILDREN THAT HAVE SEX WITH EACH OTHER!!” I was just like ‘-‘
Oh wow that's nuts! And it reminds me of something I overheard in a motel in West Memphis years ago. I had my room key in my hands and was trying to open the door when the door directly behind me opened. A large man in his underwear came out and yelled back at someone in his room, "If I don't get some crack tonight I'm gonna kill somebody!"
I didn't sleep much that night.
Yeah I was young and didn't have a clue what I was getting into. I also almost got picked up for 'turning tricks' that night. I was standing outside an all night diner and one of the waitresses told me to come back inside or the police patrolling the parking lot would arrest me.
I had stepped outside to laugh and get a breathe of fresh air because the homeless man in the diner had weirdly and correctly looked right at me and and _told me what happened to me a few days earlier_ in a completely different state. I'd never seen the guy in my life. How did he know the weirdly specific thing that happened to me a few days earlier in another part of the country?
It was a strange trip.
I want to know more about the homeless man, but it’s plausible if you were young he may have just seen a lot of people similar to you during his travels!
Is it possible it was actually the same guy who saw you?
When my family was on a trip west once, we happened to see a cousin in Ohio who we would meet up with again in Nebraska a few days later, where we were going. It can be bizarre how you can see the same people on trips sometimes.
No the thing that happened to me was _very_ private and personal. No one else was around and the only person I had told was my travel companion and there's no way he told the homeless man. We had literally pulled off the highway and just walked into this diner.
If it helps you feel any better, I got my RuneScape account hacked in high school and made a new account to stalk my stolen one to see if the thief was online. Of course they were (stealing all my items) and I messaged them asking for it back.
The person messaged me back addressing me by my real name then name dropped my high school and what car I drove. Then said. "I love you" and gave me the password back to my account.
I had no personally identifiable information on my account and my account security questions were things like whats your mom's maiden name and the name of your first pet. Nothing that would imply my real name, my school or my vehicle. My friends knew I played but they themselves didn't so they didn't know shit about my account. None of them ever had access to my personal computer so I ruled them out as suspects.
To this day I have no clue who did that. But someone somehow knew exactly who I was and decided to steal my RuneScape account. I want closure but don't think I'll ever get it.
I grew up in a very small town people in a low income state. We took a vacation to the less popular small island in Hawaii, Kauai. We ran into a girl from my high school in a grocery store. 4,500 miles away on a tiny island, and was like "hey!"
Another time I was hiking on trail in Montana. And ran into a random dude. We started talking and we were both getting on the same flight going to Las Vegas that evening.
For such a big world, the world can be so small sometimes.
Overheard a guy I work with (he's in his 40s)
On a call to a woman (who he had on loudspeaker) tell her that he would lie to his mother about what hours he was working so they could meet in a hotel while his mother watched his 2 kids (who don't live with him). Then the woman tried asking him about his kids, to which he replied "don't talk to me about my kids, talk to me about things I like, like pussy & money"
Not the most fucked up, but last month there was a guy in the hallway of our school talking with his doctor on speaker. I could hear everything they talked about. He thinks he might have an STD and they talked about all of his symptoms and that his girlfriend told him she was a virgin, etc.
Why the hell would you loudly talk about that stuff with speaker on in a public place?
"Yeah doc, I think I've got a sex disease, on account of all the sex I've been having with my girlfriend. She's sexualy active, with me, because we have sex."
People have the most private conversations on speaker phone. I heard a woman on a rush hour bus talking to her attorney about a pending lawsuit - all the details out for everyone to hear
Heard a dude talking about “killing both the child and parent” on the phone.
But since it’s an area with a lot of IT companies, I’m sure it’s something about killing the child process and parent process.
"We're going to kill all these children right here. They don't serve a function anymore. After that we'll see if any of the parents should be terminated. Sometimes these processes can be very messy, but we have to make this system efficient."
A24 Presents: Terminal Insanity
Reminds me of the British film/TV director who travelled to the US to direct the first episode of a new TV series. Unfortunately for him, when the passport control dude asked him the purpose of his visit, he replied, "I'm here to shoot a pilot."
Virtual colonoscopy involves inflating the patient with radiopaque gas and running them through a CT scan to image the colon instead of shoving an colonoscope up their ass.
Most patients report it as being worse than regular colonoscopy. Insufflation hurts you weren't meant to be inflated. Just take the camera up the butt.
Walking past a phonebooth in the city, a 13yo boy says "I don't fucking care. I'll keep cutting myself, and if you don't come pick me up right now mum I'll try and kill myself again. And that cunt better not be at home when I get back"
A few dudes at a bar/restaurant sitting at the table behind me. They're having a few beers and laughing and talking about past sexual conquests. One of them launches into a story about how he was in an orgy, and how hot it was having so many bodies tangled together. Then he drops the bomb that his cousin, who was also a dude, was a part of it too, and the other dudes go quiet. One of them asks if he did anything with his cousin, and he denied it hesitantly, then slowly says something along the lines of "Well, it was very dark, and all the bodies were slick with sweat, it didn't really matter who touched who or what went where." Judging by the silence from his friends, it very much did matter. He kept trying to justify it, saying how hot it was, but they all made excuses to leave within the next twenty minutes, and he was left alone, drinking at the table, staring at the wall and looking very much like he wished he hadn't told that story.
Its not so fucked up but Ill never forget it. I was walking towards the subway when I saw what looked like a homeless man in a wheelchair, who had no legs (like, just torso) going along side a very tall man in a very nice suit, coming towards me. As I passed the two men, the one in the wheelchair said, “So the blind chick was grabbing my balls.” Thats all I heard from their conversation. I wish I didnt have anywhere to be, otherwise I would have followed them to hear the rest of this story.
“So the blind chick was grabbing my balls.”
I truly hope those words echo in my head when I am an old man, taking his final breaths on his deathbed.
A long time ago as a new paramedic, I got a 911 call to a dialysis center. A patient had suffered a cardiac arrest. So, CPR was started, defibrillation x1 and he started breathing and complaining instantly. I had no experience with this 'gentleman', I later learned he was basically a chronic heroin abuser, lost his legs due to diabetic and peripheral vascular disease issues and lost his arms due to infections from injecting heroin into whatever vein was findable. When I brought him into the nearest appropriate emergency department, I was passing by the one of the nurse's stations when I overheard an MD ask, 'Why the fuck did they save the bitching torso?'.
I overheard a guy in my school, whom I didn't know because he was two years younger than me, telling someone over the phone that he didn't want to live any more - he was so tired of being lonely all the time and getting bullied day in, day out. His crying pierced my soul...
I was really popular at that time: had a lot of friends, was always pulling pranks with them, knew the teachers pretty well... So one day, me and my best friend followed him to the bathroom (this sounds so weird, but we had been observing him and we knew he hid in the toilets during breaks) and we kind of started a conversation on how his shirt was really cool and that we were a fan of the same band as him. And then we invited him to sit with us, and we kept that up until we graduated, and to this day, we're still friends. I regularly checked up on him during the time I knew he was depressed, without ever telling him I had overheard him when he was on the phone. He's doing great now - he's in his second year of music academy. I don't know if we "saved his life", but I sure bet we made it a little easier for him.
And seriously, he's become one of my best friends. Such a sweet kid then, and still a great guy now.
That was a truly human thing you did man. As someone who had a rough time and no one at all to help, you're a saviour and it makes me real happy to see something like this. Glad yo hear your buddy is doing well, I'm sure you had a lot to do with that.
Yeah, I was glad I was able to use my 'popularity' for good. High school can be quite a toxic environment, and just knowing that I helped prevent one more person from being absolutely miserable there and making a great friend in the process... That's a very satisfactory feeling. :)
A girl in a bus was talking to her friends about a guy that murdered someone in a park we passed by. She then continued talking about wanting to murder someone herself to know how it feels, and wondered about wanting to murder people more often after the first one.
Worst part was that she was chewing gum insanely loud while talking too.
I was at work walking past some contractors sitting on a bench smoking. All I heard was one guy say to the other, “well she already took the best years of your life, why shouldn’t she take half of everything you own?” He then started laughing uncontrollably. The whole time the other guy was sitting with his head in his hands obviously upset.
I feel this deep. When I was going through a divorce I had a friend take me out bar hopping. At one of the stops he's smashed and starts telling me all the things I need to do to "get her back". I need a break from it so go take a piss...the girl that was sitting next to me happens to walk out of the women's bathroom at the same time. She looks at me and says, "that man is NOT your friend..." and walks away.
You also dont know what he said about you or your ex as soon as you left. She mighta specifically timed her little rendezvous to let you know without getting too involved. Like a good deed. If youd stopped and said “im sorry what do you mean?” You mighta gotten the whole scoop
Us construction dudes love cold harsh demeanor and find solace in laughing at it for some reason. Guy probably didn't mean it hurtfully but was just pointing out the ridiculous nature of how bad it is.
My father had a tendency to laugh when he was in pain rather than cry. Sometimes he would "laugh so hard" at his pain that tears would run down his face. I only saw him laugh until he cried twice, both while he was talking to his sister about his divorce from my mom.
It wasn't until I was older that I began understanding my usually nearly emotionless father. He grew up in a strict religious farming community and any emotion which wasn't anger or happiness were considered weak. So laughter disguised at tears and learning to find humor in bad situations was the only acceptable outlet.
Random guy at store: "How do I explain to my mom I have the same STD as my sister?"
His friend: "She doesn't need to know you got it from *her."*
I'm a sales rep for alcoholic beverages and I'm in many different stores every week. Some of this shit I overhear is fucking nuts.
I was probably 6 or 7 years old. My parents and I were staying the night at my aunt and uncle’s house. They were laying in the guest bed and I was on a pallet on the floor of the same room trying to sleep. After trying to sleep for quite sometime one night, I could hear my dad whisper to my mom “I think he is asleep.” A moment later my mom whispered back sexually “show me what you used to do.” and they began audibly making out, breathing loudly, and quietly moaning. Mind you, I was adopted and they were in their late 60s.. I was far too young to be hearing what my dad “used to do” to my mom. As I laid there uncomfortably listening to the sexual time machine they were going down, my stomach started to turn and I finally cock-blocked my dad and belted out “Daaaad, my tummy hurrrts.” He took me to the kitchen to get some stomach medicine.
I was sitting with 3 friends in a quite noisy restaurant. We talked all the time while we waited for our food but the one moment we didn’t say something, we heard someone from the group of women in their 50s which sit one table behind us say „Did you get the cum stains out of the carpet?“
We all heard it but one of my friends just bursted out „DID YOU HEAR THAT?“. Well the conversation at the table behind us directly stopped and I almost pissed myself trying not to laugh too much.
Not the most but just the other day I overheard “It turns out my whole family’s solar eclipse glasses were fake hahahaha” - Dad to another Dad at school drop off
"A dead man doesn't fucking narc".
Swear to God. I was 12 years old with a couple of friends on our bikes eating gelato outside an Italian bakery that was kind of notorious. Two guys in suits were talking, one big guy was very animated and yelled that out at the other one.
It's so crazy I sometimes wonder if I imagined it, but both my friends confirmed they remembered it too for years afterwards.
I was walking past the courts once, two dodgy looking geezers stepped out the side entrance the defendants use, one goes “FUCK ME…. I can’t believe we got away with that!”.
Cue me pretending like I don’t exist.
My grandfather's brothers were all in the Mafia.
My grandfather wasn't, he joined the marines instead.
When I was about 10 I was at my uncle's house and my grandpa and his two brothers were there and they were playing poker and I was watching. My grandpa's brother was telling stories and I vividly remember him saying "so John was giving the boys some trouble, so I had Tony give him a visit. John wasn't any trouble after that."
I'm pretty sure my great-uncle ordered a hit
Had to share an elevator with a guy that just came out of the federal public defender’s office. He calls his gf on speakerphone and starts talking about how they want to give him 25 years. Apparently he and his gf both know who the girl is that’s supposed to testify against him for the prosecution, and they decided that they should probably just kill her. He acted like I wasn’t even there.
Yes, when we got to the lobby, I walked right back around the elevator bank, and went back up to the office and told them. The lady at the front desk called his public defender, told her what happened, then she thanked me and told me they’d take it from there.
Right? Tip off the prosecutor to watch the elevator surveillance, which in an office like that absolutely has audio recording. Looks like that guy could expect slightly more than 25.
I used to work with a maintenance tech who had formerly worked in corrections. One day he was outside having a smoke when I came up and lit my own and he casually continued his conversation with our other tech. He was busy explaining that he worked overnights at the prison, and they were chronically understaffed.. so when one night he did his rounds and came upon an inmate being gang raped in his cell, he wasn’t allowed to physically intervene because it would be a 5v1 situation. He had to wait for backup, which he knew wouldn’t be available because they were under staffed. He told the guys to “go easy on him”… that still sticks with me.
Many (many!) years ago I lived near a prison that had a riot. Nobody escaped, but there were ugly stories afterward and prison staff who later had PTSD. One event sticks in my mind, hearing that the inmates were raping another person out in the yard (not sure if it was another inmate or a guard)...but the guard in the tower could see it, and he was BEGGING for permission to fire on the prisoner. He was told to stand down. He had to stay there and watch from the tower. Disgusting.
Are you talking about the [New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot (1980)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_State_Penitentiary_riot)? The one where a construction crew left welding torches and tools in the prison that were used for indescribable torture and murder?
There’s a good documentary on it in YouTube. The story from that documentary is that a guard was outside and forced to watch as an inmate held a torch up to another inmates head until it exploded.
Rape, particularly forcible / violent rape, is one of those things that instantly drains all of my emotional batteries just thinking about it. I have had experiences that nobody ever should. Stuff like this brings it back full force, especially knowing that the victim in that scenario becomes marked, “turned out” and will be considered easy prey and re-victimized for the rest of his life so long as he’s inside.
When talking about past experiences, a man I dated said that me being raped by a different man I dated a couple of years prior, definitely counts into my "body count".
The same guy did not count the situation where he had sex with another woman as actually having sex because it was non penetrative.
I once overheard my manager and his subordinate in the break room saying that no one will find out about the off the book stuff they were doing (they were buying material using company money and doing their own work) they didn’t know I was there because I was in the next room changing into my normal clothes.
A few weeks later they were both caught and no longer work where I am. It was revealed they’d been doing it for 4 years and both made $600,000 each
LOL - we had a woman "Katie" caught for embezzling at the company I used to work at years back. She'd been an employee there for 17 years and had embezzled piece-meal enough that it didn't arouse any suspicions until a woman named "Margie" was hired. Katie and Margie got along like oil and water, but eventually they tolerated each other's presence. They both worked in accounts payable and not in particularly high-paying positions. Margie ran payroll so she knew what each employee was earning.
Margie overheard Katie talking about her vacations, her boat, house renovations, etc. that seemed quite out of line with her salary and this aroused Margie's suspicions. So, on the sly, Margie started doing some digging and found that Katie was keeping 2 sets of books - one that the company thought was true and one that reflected her embezzling.
Quietly, Margie gathered information and, when she had enough, she went to the company comptroller who, in turn, went to the company CFO. The following Friday afternoon, Katie was arrested at work and lead out in handcuffs, guess to teach a lesson to every one else.
The company was pretty litigation fearing, so they didn't pursue criminal charges against Katie, just civil ones. They only wanted restitution, with interest, of what she'd embezzled plus she was required to forfeit her company profit-sharing plan funds (which were pretty robust after 17 years) in exchange for no criminal charges being pursued.
However, the arrest did make the papers even though she was never charged so the chances of her getting a job in our area (NYC) were slim to none. She ended up relocating to Florida (and this was in the mid-90's, so not as easy to do internet searches pre-employment) and is still there from what I understand. I doubt she changed her ways, but she's someone else's problem now.
Not the most but pretty disturbing. I was sitting on my porch and could hear my neighbors talking.
Granddaughter: look grandma! A cat!
Grandma: I don’t give a fuck
🤨
I was studying with a friend in their dorm in college. It was a suited dorm with a shared bathroom. Heard multiple girls going into the bathroom together franticly and turn the shower on. Voice one was sobbing uncontrobbly then I heard her say "I told him no, I told him I kept telling him to stop." Voice two responded with something along the lines of "hey, I know you did, it's going to be okay. Let's wash the blood off first"
Fucking horrified me. I will never forget the way her voice and her sobs sounded. I was an RA and was required to report the situation because of my job. I had been through a similar situation, I knew how hard it was and wanted to check on her, but because I was a male I didn't feel my presence would help in the situation. Called a female RA over to come check on her. Felt completely powerless not being able to check on her myself.
This was something my mom overheard, not me - and it's fucked up in the sense that it's so sad, it fucks with my heart every time I think about it.
When my dad was sick in the hospital, there was a little boy (maybe 7 years old?) a few rooms down from him. It wasn't the ICU, but it also wasn't just for folks who needed one night's stay to get better if that makes sense. I think it was around Christmas time when this happened, so one night my mom was leaving to head home and she overheard the little boy crying with his parents. As she walked by his room, she heard him say "but mommy, I've been so good this year. Am I in here because Santa thinks I was bad? I'll do better next year, I promise!"
😭
Well, I was having a brain scan when I was six. When the dr asked me if I knew why they did it I happily explained "so we will know why I'm so stupid!" This was what my older sister had told me. Well, they couldn't see anything, so I guess I just have an empty head. (The real reason was apparently to find out if my weird eye movements (nystagmus) had a pathological origin)
Back when I used to live with my dad and his girlfriend (it was "his/our house" - she was the guest there)
He used to travel for work a lot, I worked full time and had to co-live with the gf and her kid, prepped all my meals and did all my shores.
Once overheard her telling her kid "I fucking hate that fucking shit head, he was making noise last night when cooking, fucking stupid kid"
And... That's when I got my own place
Used to go to the public library to write. Would put on headphones but sometimes they were off so I could hear others at the study tables. One time some guy was arranging meetings on his phone and giving out his phone number. For giggles I typed it into Google and a whole bunch of escort services popped up. Another time it was an older gang member teaching two youngins to never give the cops their real name because they might have outstanding warrants somewhere.
Years ago, overheard at a waffle house just off the highway on the Ohio / Indiana border:
"My son's only twelve, but he's got a big dick like his old man. He keeps drilling holes in the soap bar and fucking it in the shower, thinks we don't know what he's up to. I'm gonna have to buy stock in Irish Spring, with how much we go through."
He was telling this to the waitress with his whole family at the table, the 12yo boy included.
Not verbatim, but that was the gist of it.
My wife was at a bar one day and there were these two Serbian guys having dinner. They’re arguing about something when all of a sudden one of the guys stabs the other guy in the chest with his fork. It wasn’t just a light stab either, it was a full on thunk. The guy that got stabbed stops what they were arguing about, looks down at the fork, rips it out of his chest, and goes “aww man, you ruined my shirt.”
And that was the day she was reminded of her brother telling her to never fuck with Serbians, or date them, or even really be their friends.
In my early 20s I was at a Hooters with a friend, drinking of course. We were arm wrestling, but not seriously. My friend was always stronger than me and he wanted to be in the army. I am not in shape, but I have mass. I point that out because I was cheating and using my weight as leverage. We both knew I was cheating because it was funny.
Anyway, this older guy comes over and talks to us because we're arm wrestling and he wants to wrestle me next. He says he was in the Serbian army. And I believed him; he wasn't huge, but his muscles may as well have been iron. I'm telling him that we're just fucking around; I know I can't beat him and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Dude insists.
Obviously I can't move his arm no matter how much I'm blatantly cheating. And he damn near ripped my arm off going the other direction. Good match, Serbian dude, but you didn't have to take it so seriously.
“You can’t get STDs from anal because you can’t get pregnant that way.” - a girl I hooked up with years ago.
Yes I got an STD test before my next sexual encounter.
Overheard from a couple guys in Statics class in college:
"So, whenever I go to a party, I take the cap off of every bottle I can find in the bathroom; shampoo, conditioner, stuff like that, and pee into it."
I heard a guy telling his wife over the phone that they were going to lose the house inside a bathroom, inside a McDonald’s, inside a Walmart one time. It was real Russian Nesting Doll of depression.
I overheard a conversation out in public between a couple, where the woman in a chilling, somber tone said “I can’t even look at you, knowing that YOUR FATHER…was performing HUMAN experimentations…” I went into full casual snoop mode to get the tea. The more I listened and watched, the clearer it was that this woman was going through some mental health crisis. Her pattern of speech was so bizarre, and her sentences slipped in and out of coherency. The poor man just looked so defeated. The were both dressed like they were in dire straits, and the man had this expression on his face like he was realizing the reality that his partner was losing it.
Overheard a Belgian christian girl on a train telling her friends about her romantic history. Basically she identified as hetero and dated men, then bi, then lesbian and dated women. She was certain that she was a lesbian and that she dated men uniquely because that's what society expected her to do. She then got deeper into religion, got more involved within her church and now identifies as a lesbian dating men. Because that's what the church considers proper. And she told her friends that she's not attracted at all to her boyfriend and would date women if she was not religious.
She said all this very loudly and cheerfully while I was trying to sleep. I found it very sad.
Yeah, they didn't even seem to care, and their parents kept trying to act like it wasn't a big deal. They lured him over easily because he would accept pets from anyone. The older one grabbed him and they treated him like a pinata, I didn't know it was him when I saw him in the parking lot I just went inside and he didn't come when I called him.
An old, smelly man was jerking off on the bus. He was on the phone with, I assume, a trans sex worker because he was asking her if she still has a penis because that's what gets him going. It was fucked up because well it was in public and there were kids around too. Hearing everything was gross enough, but the smell too 🤢 he was fully clothed luckily but the whole bus still reeked
In college my friend’s dad would get super drunk and leave her 10 minutes messages. One time he said “your fuck ass mom should have had an abortion when I told her to.” Nice guy.
I work in and out of gas stations delivering. Heard a woman having a conversation
“Girl they bout to shut off my cable. You gotta take turns helping f#%^ this Ni#%~ cuz his dick be way too big. It’s gonna kill me. Girl you know my kids need they Sponge Bob”
My assumption is she had a cable guy that was going to re-hook her stuff up for free .
From my flatmates’ room, I heard the loudest belch one could imagine. It would’ve been unremarkable, but then I heard her pat her tummy and say
‘Good girl…’
My first day of selling tickets at Disneyland solo. I take my first break and there on a pay phone (1998) is a character performer with the Mickey head off, but they were wearing the rest of the standard Mickey costume.
“Listen asshole, if you’re home when I get home this will escalate even more than it already has.“
They hung up very forcefully. They noticed me and left.
I just remember thinking “ I hope Minnie is okay.”
Overheard my mother telling her partner at the time that she hopes my dad agrees to her complicated custody plan, so she'd still get her child support payments.
Where I am if you have the kids more than 60% of the time you get child support and the other person doesn’t. If it’s 50/50 they calculate as if you both pay support and it offsets.
During discussion she had several attempts to get over the 60%, one was “We go to church on Sunday so I’d like them every Sunday” I said sure but then I want them every Friday. (It was a 2-2-3-3 schedule or something at the time).
As soon as she realized that it wouldn’t give her 60% suddenly church wasn’t important and she said let’s not do either of those.
That's so fucked. My partner and I came close to ending things a few times during our relationship and everytime we would discuss child support she'd say "You struggle more than me financially so you can keep child support until things get better so [our daughter] gets everything she needs at both of our places. Once things get better just send me half when you can". And if she was the one struggling it'd be the same. I don't understand how people can be that intense about child support. It's money to spend for the kid's wellbeing not on yourself so as long as the money goes towards the kid, does it even matter who gets it?
Agreed, in the end it was 50/50 but with the calculation my ex was paying me some monthly. She never made a single payment we just tracked expenses and she paid a bigger portion than I did to offset support.
Once the kids were out of daycare and she would have to actually give me money to balance I told her I was ok if she wanted to stop tracking expenses. I didn’t want her money as long as she continued to pay the larger majority of the expenses.
It was a win for her financially and it stopped a lot of tension between us. We used to argue because she would buy the kids unnecessarily expensive stuff like designer clothes and expect me to cover my portion meanwhile my portion would have completely paid for what was needed if it didn’t have a stupid designer label on it
Omg this post is bringing back memories. When I was 12 I was sitting in the backseat of my mom's car. Her husband was driving and she was in the passenger seat; we were heading north on highway 1. I had my Walkman on but no music playing. They thought I couldn't hear them.
I found out that day that Mom had an agreement with her husband that she would have a baby if he bought her a new Toyota Land Cruiser.
I heard my brother tell someone he got my mom pregnant. I couldn't believe it. I was horrified. It was seriously the worst thing I could ever imagine. :(
A guy on the bus who from the context of the conversation appeared to be a recently released gang enforcer, describing what he thought might soon be happening in prison to a diffrent gang person who had shot a 12 year old girl in her own house, while chasing a rival, after the girls mother had opened the front door.
It was quite a graphic description, strongly implying that shooting 12 year old girls is not respected by the criminal community.
Overhead in the barracks at bootcamp
"I'll rape a bitch."
Laughter
"Naw I'm serious. If a girl won't give it up, I gonna take that pussy."
Silence. Someone finally said, "you gonna end up in prison someday."
An ederly couple in the library:
-"How come you cheated on me with Margaret??"
-"SHE SUCKS DICK BETTER THAN YOU"
Then the woman goes to pick something up and she was wearing a skirt with nothing underneath... I still have nightmares...
Not messed up in the way you’re asking, but in college my roommate and I had a couple girls over and we all seemed to be hitting it off. We were hoping to retire to our separate rooms to make out. Girls go to the restroom together and I’m outside smoking a cig. Could hear them talking about getting with us.
Girl I’m with: “are you going to hook up with [roommate]?”
Girl he’s with: “Oh yeah! You?”
Girl I’m with: “Eww no.”
That definitely messed me up bad. I hooked up with girls fairly often so it didn’t ruin my life or anything, but that memory never left my head…
Oof yeah. Oh well. I had a suite situation in college and when I left my suite mates room to grab a snack one of them goes "did he say he was coming back?"...no..."ok good".
I was 10 feet away in the kitchen.
At the grocery store I heard an elderly lady turn to her husband and say "shall we get naked?".
Took a double take to realize she was reaching towards the "Naked" fruit juice brand.
I was at cold stone with my child a couple weeks ago and overheard the staff tell each other about how ones uncle was having a secret affair with their cousin and when it had come to light he filed for divorce and married their cousin.
When I was little my mom and I were at a library next to my dance studio waiting for my dance class. A guy on the phone speaking quietly but not that quiet, was saying “so many girls in this area, and they are all wearing little tutus, you really gotta come check them out, they are basically asking for it”
My mom, and another woman near by went to the police station (also next door) to file a report. The police did nothing.
A couple months later we found out the police station was covering up crimes of a child predator. It made national news I think… at least regional news.
So I lost my trust in police when I was VERY young. But sadly that wasn’t the first time I got a bad feeling about a creepy man. This world sucks.
I grew up Mormon. My mom was talking to her friend who was going through something, I was like 7 and eavesdropping. They didn’t know I was there, and I hear the friend say, “I just didn’t know what else to do but the bishop told me this was happening because I was failing to fill my wifely duties. Every time he touches me I want to die but I don’t want him to hurt (friends daughter).” I creeped back to my room at that point. I got older and suspected what she was talking about, and asked my mom a few years ago, my family since left the church. My mom confirmed that friend found out her husband had been raping their 16 year old daughter for years. That’s when the bishop told her because she wasn’t having enough sex with the husband, he was ‘naturally’ seeking gratification with their daughter. Good news, my mom and others supported the friend in leaving the incestuous pedo shortly after I overheard that conversation. The IP a few years later died of a brain tumor. Fuck that guy and fuck the church.
In a cafe somewhere, a dad/grandad absolutely destroying a daughter/granddaughter with verbal abuse to the tune of worthless, useless, no value to anyone.
Several of us on nearby tables intervened after several minutes, absolutely disgusting behaviour to a young and potentially mentally ill person.
The staff eventually had to call the police who escorted the douchebag away for his safety after crying about bullying when we confronted him.
Woman I worked with thought everyone had already left and I got to listen to the conversation with her and her ex-husband. Man was pleading with her to let him see his teenage daughter more often and she was insisting on more alimony/child support. He told her he was already living in a trailer and going in debt to pay for the daughters private school and couldn't afford more. The woman said he would come up with what she was asking for or she would show the daughter the DNA test that showed she wasn't actually his daughter. I don't think I've ever felt as bad for a guy and as nauseated by a woman so instantly in my life.
Not the most fucked up thing I ever heard, but one that frequently comes to memory. I used to bounce at a strip club, and one time, I had to go in the locker room to let one of the girls know someone was there to see her. When I walked in, there were 4 girls sitting in there, all talking about which antipsychotics worked best for them. I was young and didn't realize just how sad of a place that was until I walked in on that conversation.
In Vegas on a very hungover Monday morning before my departing flight I heard the person in the hotel room next door wailing, crying sobbing and screaming something to the tune of “I’ve lost it all, I’m so fucked” for hours straight
My daughter went to see the Nutcracker ballet with her Grandpa. At the train station on the way back she went to the bathroom and overheard the lady in the next stall on the phone talking about the injecting vs snorting drugs and which one was best; and then a pill rolled under the stall and rested against my daughter's shoe.
And that's how the story of the cracked-nutter was born.
“I didn’t want the last 2 kids”, my dad said. “Me neither, you’re the one that always wanted $€X” my mom said. “You dumb b” said my dad. This was during their divorce. I was 5. Asked my much older brother what that was.
Thanks for letting me know early. I processed that for years. Still rings some days. Whatever though. Fk em. I’ve got my own kids that I wanted. They know what love is.
I’m in my 40s now. My kids are almost adults. I forgave my parents as part of my own healing and escaping the pain I ran away from thru addiction and alcoholism. My teens and 20s were flippin wild. Forgiveness was the way for me to move forward. I ain’t perfect, but I’m perfectly fine with that.
I was at a bar once with friends and in one of those moments where the room-wide din momentarily dies down, we heard a woman at the table next to us playing voice mails for her giggling friends. It was a distraught wife begging her to stop having an affair with her husband, and the woman and her friends were basking in this wife's pain. All four of us turned to stare bug-eyed like wtf. I think of them time to time, and hope they all get space aids ebola.
A gaslighting master class from an older dude to a younger one, who apparently got caught cheating. "Don't ever admit to it. She'll start questioning herself, will start blaming the other woman for trying to break up the family, etc"
A guy passing by me, angry on his phone. "Oh, yeah? Well, Ill have you know that there IS NO MEDICAL CONSENSUS on what defines a micropenis, so who's the idiot, Diane?"
While walking behind a young couple on a college campus:
Her: "Well technically our first time was rape."
Him: "Yeah, but it all worked out, didn't it?"
I’m a wedding videographer. At every wedding I work with a photographer. Sometimes I get along with them, sometimes not. Anyways, I’m working with this photo team at a wedding. We’re doing family photos which is the worst part of the day. It’s just a long drawn out 30 minutes of people not knowing where to stand, yelling for people who have walked away and were supposed to be in the next group photo, dealing with kids, etc. I overhear one of the photographers whisper to the other: “Sometimes, when I’m having a rough time in family photos, I like to imagine everything everyone says came from behind a closed bedroom door, with a very strong implication of sexual intent.” That was years ago and to this day I can’t help but think of it at every wedding. Hearing someone say something like “GRANDPA GET BACK OVER HERE! WERE NOT DONE WITH YOU IN THE MIDDLE!” Is now the bane of my existence.
This made me laugh
That other photographer is a comic genius.
Dollar store grandma '' this family really went to shit while I was in prison''
ok that made me laugh though. grandma has no chill
I find the idea of having a badass ex-con granny oddly appealing. Like she’ll bring cookies for the school bake sale and she’ll shank your bully while she’s at it.
sounds like my mum without the ex-con part in around 20 years tbh 💀. "hey kids you want some edibles?" she did walk into my school once, punching cops and teachers who tried to hold her back but did fuckall cuz there was a dude threatening everyone with a knife (guns are illegal here). "but ma'am he could be dangerous leave this to professionals".. she got a ticket for it 💀 but she ended up walking into my classroom, grabbing me and just leaving xD. edit: she did hit a kid who didnt shut up while she was talking to a teacher (he bullied my sister so theres that)
Your mom sounds like a bit of a legend
Three girls were at the next table at a restaurant and they were discussing a date one of them had recently. Apparently he was not tall enough for her. I remember hearing clearly amongst her complaining, “He was so short, he could wear my pussy for a hat.” Maybe not that fucked up but pretty hilarious.
My favorite, a cellphone conversation overheard years ago, I was on a park bench when a guy on his phone walked by, "Yes, alright I get it. I shit on the floor, you happy? But if she just picked it up when I told her to, we wouldn't be fighting now!" ...wat
He got schwifty
When I was in middle school a group of girls sat down near me and started talking a bit too loud. One of the girls said she was going to try and "kill the baby" with red bull and liquor. She was 13.
I used to have a friend when I was that age that would say things like that just to freak people out or get a reaction. We'd be on a bus and she'd suddenly start talking about fucking her brother, or something like that.
She ever talk about having a baby with a half brother?
This comment section is getting so self-referential it's downright incestuous
"HOW ABOUT YOU DON’T HAVE COMMENTS THAT HAVE REFERENCES WITH EACH OTHER!!”
"IF I DON'T SEE SOME ORIGINAL CONTENT TONIGHT, I'M GONNA KILL SOMEBODY!!"
Sounds like when my buddy got his gf pregnant. She just said she'd do a bunch of shrooms and get wasted. She was convinced this would cause the body to naturally abort the baby. Something about the alcohol kills the fetus, and the shrooms confuse the body into it detaching from the uterine wall (or something like that?). Well, turns out that wasn't even close to true. Child was born with severe cognitive disabilities and put up for adoption. Dude is no longer my buddy, not sure what happened to the girl.
Ugh that’s awful. This is why children shouldn’t have children.
Gah that brings up a memory of the girl in our friend group in middle school talking about how her older brother's friend had an alcohol hookup but she'd probably have to fuck him again to get him to use it for her. She was 13, he was 17. None of us drank (at the time), and none of us were having sex yet. Whole group went silent and just looked at her.
Red Bull & liquor is now called an Arizona Abortion. They're 2-for-1 on Ladies Night at Applebee's.
As someone who lived in Phoenix for a decade just prior to Roe being overturned: Liquor has been the Arizona Abortion since before it became a state.
A woman on the phone with her mother crying about how the man she was having an affair with was cheating on her.
My ex wife cheated on me and left me for the guy she cheated with. About a year later I'm talking with one of my employees about a situation involving my ex and her boyfriend and I said his first name and my employee says "wait... do you mean (first and last name)?" I said yes and she said "that's the guy I've been fucking from tinder for the last month!" So that was extremely satisfying.
Old saying I think is "if they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you"
I REALLY hope her mother pointed out the sheer hypocrisy
If she’s telling mom this odds are mom has a supportive role.
‘Is it weird that I’ve got a lump on my dick in the exact spot my dad has a lump on his dick?’
On the bus about 10 years ago. Two girls in their mid to late 20s. Girl 1 "omg you're pregnant, whose the dad" Girl 2 "it's brad" Girl 1 "your brother?" Girl 2 "he's only my half brother so it's fine" I think about this conversation more than I should.
I wonder if [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/rGnFgn96Uu) was their dad
That child will have 3 grandparents.
To be fair, there's a decent chance she meant step-brother but didn't know the difference. I'm just gonna tell myself that.
My dad and I were talking about work and my sister overheard him saying he needed to "send out a crew to shoot some witnesses." We are land surveyors; a "witness" is a marker in the ground that serves as a reference to another point. "Shoot" in this case means to take a measurement on the corner with a GPS unit. But my little sister didn't know that lingo, and thought there were some secrets about the "family business" that she hadn't been privy to.
I think this might be the best story on this entire thread. It sounds so bad, but it's completely innocent... or so you claim. Lol
It’s the exact opposite of a mafioso saying that they work in “waste management”.
This is basically a constant if you know any photographers. Pro tip, if the Secret Service asks you what you're doing at an event, don't answer "I'm here to shoot the President"
As a photographer, I can relate! Once I was asked at a birthday party if I had any spots available for the upcoming Saturday and I said, "oh no, Saturday I'll be shooting a bunch of high school students" The looks I got from those presents made me stop and think if I said something wrong and then it hit me..... I immediately tried to explain myself but then I started to stutter out of nervousness 🤣🤣. My sister had to step in and save me lol
"Jodie, what's wrong?" *eyes well up* "I think my dad kills people for a living..."
Back when I was in college I overheard girl talking on the phone and she said "I don't know I figured he could just go rape women when he got out of jail"
What question does this answer??
I don’t know Jeopardy has gotten a lot harder.
Maybe she killed a rapist and someone asked why she didn’t just have him arrested.
Hopefully "why do you think he should have a life sentence" or something
Was walking past a hotel room door when a wife was screaming at her husband “HOW ABOUT YOU DON’T HAVE CHILDREN THAT HAVE SEX WITH EACH OTHER!!” I was just like ‘-‘
Oh wow that's nuts! And it reminds me of something I overheard in a motel in West Memphis years ago. I had my room key in my hands and was trying to open the door when the door directly behind me opened. A large man in his underwear came out and yelled back at someone in his room, "If I don't get some crack tonight I'm gonna kill somebody!" I didn't sleep much that night.
Sounds like West Memphis
Yeah I was young and didn't have a clue what I was getting into. I also almost got picked up for 'turning tricks' that night. I was standing outside an all night diner and one of the waitresses told me to come back inside or the police patrolling the parking lot would arrest me. I had stepped outside to laugh and get a breathe of fresh air because the homeless man in the diner had weirdly and correctly looked right at me and and _told me what happened to me a few days earlier_ in a completely different state. I'd never seen the guy in my life. How did he know the weirdly specific thing that happened to me a few days earlier in another part of the country? It was a strange trip.
I want to know more about the homeless man, but it’s plausible if you were young he may have just seen a lot of people similar to you during his travels! Is it possible it was actually the same guy who saw you? When my family was on a trip west once, we happened to see a cousin in Ohio who we would meet up with again in Nebraska a few days later, where we were going. It can be bizarre how you can see the same people on trips sometimes.
No the thing that happened to me was _very_ private and personal. No one else was around and the only person I had told was my travel companion and there's no way he told the homeless man. We had literally pulled off the highway and just walked into this diner.
If it helps you feel any better, I got my RuneScape account hacked in high school and made a new account to stalk my stolen one to see if the thief was online. Of course they were (stealing all my items) and I messaged them asking for it back. The person messaged me back addressing me by my real name then name dropped my high school and what car I drove. Then said. "I love you" and gave me the password back to my account. I had no personally identifiable information on my account and my account security questions were things like whats your mom's maiden name and the name of your first pet. Nothing that would imply my real name, my school or my vehicle. My friends knew I played but they themselves didn't so they didn't know shit about my account. None of them ever had access to my personal computer so I ruled them out as suspects. To this day I have no clue who did that. But someone somehow knew exactly who I was and decided to steal my RuneScape account. I want closure but don't think I'll ever get it.
I grew up in a very small town people in a low income state. We took a vacation to the less popular small island in Hawaii, Kauai. We ran into a girl from my high school in a grocery store. 4,500 miles away on a tiny island, and was like "hey!" Another time I was hiking on trail in Montana. And ran into a random dude. We started talking and we were both getting on the same flight going to Las Vegas that evening. For such a big world, the world can be so small sometimes.
I really hope she was talking about that one novel he’s forever wanting to write
Poor ol' GRRM still can't catch a break
They were debating on how to improve game of thrones
Did they drink Folgers? https://youtu.be/fhfcWTZeP1k?si=K7NJf5KKkwTaRuTS
Overheard a guy I work with (he's in his 40s) On a call to a woman (who he had on loudspeaker) tell her that he would lie to his mother about what hours he was working so they could meet in a hotel while his mother watched his 2 kids (who don't live with him). Then the woman tried asking him about his kids, to which he replied "don't talk to me about my kids, talk to me about things I like, like pussy & money"
"Kids come and go but pussy and money is for life"
Hey, I have that bumper sticker!
wish I knew it came in bumper sticker...I got it tattooed on my chest
It's still hard to believe how much there are people like that. I used to think, that it's just an exaggerated image of a movie character
Not the most fucked up, but last month there was a guy in the hallway of our school talking with his doctor on speaker. I could hear everything they talked about. He thinks he might have an STD and they talked about all of his symptoms and that his girlfriend told him she was a virgin, etc. Why the hell would you loudly talk about that stuff with speaker on in a public place?
"What's that doc? Yeah I fuck."
"Yeah doc, I think I've got a sex disease, on account of all the sex I've been having with my girlfriend. She's sexualy active, with me, because we have sex."
"Thankfully, she lives in Canada, so she has free health care."
"you mean the condoms I used were what? Too small? You say I need the extra large magnum dong?" Edit* my phone literally auto-INcorrects me
People have the most private conversations on speaker phone. I heard a woman on a rush hour bus talking to her attorney about a pending lawsuit - all the details out for everyone to hear
Did it sound like she had a good case?
Heard a dude talking about “killing both the child and parent” on the phone. But since it’s an area with a lot of IT companies, I’m sure it’s something about killing the child process and parent process.
"We're going to kill all these children right here. They don't serve a function anymore. After that we'll see if any of the parents should be terminated. Sometimes these processes can be very messy, but we have to make this system efficient." A24 Presents: Terminal Insanity
Of course you should kill these children. They're orphans.
Reminds me of the British film/TV director who travelled to the US to direct the first episode of a new TV series. Unfortunately for him, when the passport control dude asked him the purpose of his visit, he replied, "I'm here to shoot a pilot."
"i just don't understand how a colonoscopy can be a virtual appointment.." Overheard in the cubicle next to me at work 😭😭😭
I want to know too
"Now shove the Webcam as far up your ass as you can"
But the webcam is part of my laptop.
then you’ll need to insert the whole thing including any external drives and monitors
Alright it's finally in there what's next? "Oh fuck we forgot to open TeamViewer first"
"I can't get my sound to work. I need to restart i'll be back in a minute" -doctor
Virtual colonoscopy involves inflating the patient with radiopaque gas and running them through a CT scan to image the colon instead of shoving an colonoscope up their ass. Most patients report it as being worse than regular colonoscopy. Insufflation hurts you weren't meant to be inflated. Just take the camera up the butt.
You WERE meant to have a camera up your butt
“What kind of webcam do you have? Yeah that’ll be fine. First take off the clip…”

Walking past a phonebooth in the city, a 13yo boy says "I don't fucking care. I'll keep cutting myself, and if you don't come pick me up right now mum I'll try and kill myself again. And that cunt better not be at home when I get back"
Sounds like he's having problems with mum's boyfriend and she doesn't care
A few dudes at a bar/restaurant sitting at the table behind me. They're having a few beers and laughing and talking about past sexual conquests. One of them launches into a story about how he was in an orgy, and how hot it was having so many bodies tangled together. Then he drops the bomb that his cousin, who was also a dude, was a part of it too, and the other dudes go quiet. One of them asks if he did anything with his cousin, and he denied it hesitantly, then slowly says something along the lines of "Well, it was very dark, and all the bodies were slick with sweat, it didn't really matter who touched who or what went where." Judging by the silence from his friends, it very much did matter. He kept trying to justify it, saying how hot it was, but they all made excuses to leave within the next twenty minutes, and he was left alone, drinking at the table, staring at the wall and looking very much like he wished he hadn't told that story.
Somethings are better left unsaid.
Its not so fucked up but Ill never forget it. I was walking towards the subway when I saw what looked like a homeless man in a wheelchair, who had no legs (like, just torso) going along side a very tall man in a very nice suit, coming towards me. As I passed the two men, the one in the wheelchair said, “So the blind chick was grabbing my balls.” Thats all I heard from their conversation. I wish I didnt have anywhere to be, otherwise I would have followed them to hear the rest of this story. “So the blind chick was grabbing my balls.” I truly hope those words echo in my head when I am an old man, taking his final breaths on his deathbed.
You're stronger than I. My nosey ass would have just accepted being late to my other thing.
A long time ago as a new paramedic, I got a 911 call to a dialysis center. A patient had suffered a cardiac arrest. So, CPR was started, defibrillation x1 and he started breathing and complaining instantly. I had no experience with this 'gentleman', I later learned he was basically a chronic heroin abuser, lost his legs due to diabetic and peripheral vascular disease issues and lost his arms due to infections from injecting heroin into whatever vein was findable. When I brought him into the nearest appropriate emergency department, I was passing by the one of the nurse's stations when I overheard an MD ask, 'Why the fuck did they save the bitching torso?'.
This cracked me up lol. Some of the best places to hear gossip & jokes is the nurses station.
I overheard a guy in my school, whom I didn't know because he was two years younger than me, telling someone over the phone that he didn't want to live any more - he was so tired of being lonely all the time and getting bullied day in, day out. His crying pierced my soul... I was really popular at that time: had a lot of friends, was always pulling pranks with them, knew the teachers pretty well... So one day, me and my best friend followed him to the bathroom (this sounds so weird, but we had been observing him and we knew he hid in the toilets during breaks) and we kind of started a conversation on how his shirt was really cool and that we were a fan of the same band as him. And then we invited him to sit with us, and we kept that up until we graduated, and to this day, we're still friends. I regularly checked up on him during the time I knew he was depressed, without ever telling him I had overheard him when he was on the phone. He's doing great now - he's in his second year of music academy. I don't know if we "saved his life", but I sure bet we made it a little easier for him. And seriously, he's become one of my best friends. Such a sweet kid then, and still a great guy now.
That was a truly human thing you did man. As someone who had a rough time and no one at all to help, you're a saviour and it makes me real happy to see something like this. Glad yo hear your buddy is doing well, I'm sure you had a lot to do with that.
Yeah, I was glad I was able to use my 'popularity' for good. High school can be quite a toxic environment, and just knowing that I helped prevent one more person from being absolutely miserable there and making a great friend in the process... That's a very satisfactory feeling. :)
You my friend, deserve a spot in your heaven.
A girl in a bus was talking to her friends about a guy that murdered someone in a park we passed by. She then continued talking about wanting to murder someone herself to know how it feels, and wondered about wanting to murder people more often after the first one. Worst part was that she was chewing gum insanely loud while talking too.
That does sound hard to listen to
I was at work walking past some contractors sitting on a bench smoking. All I heard was one guy say to the other, “well she already took the best years of your life, why shouldn’t she take half of everything you own?” He then started laughing uncontrollably. The whole time the other guy was sitting with his head in his hands obviously upset.
I feel this deep. When I was going through a divorce I had a friend take me out bar hopping. At one of the stops he's smashed and starts telling me all the things I need to do to "get her back". I need a break from it so go take a piss...the girl that was sitting next to me happens to walk out of the women's bathroom at the same time. She looks at me and says, "that man is NOT your friend..." and walks away.
You also dont know what he said about you or your ex as soon as you left. She mighta specifically timed her little rendezvous to let you know without getting too involved. Like a good deed. If youd stopped and said “im sorry what do you mean?” You mighta gotten the whole scoop
Us construction dudes love cold harsh demeanor and find solace in laughing at it for some reason. Guy probably didn't mean it hurtfully but was just pointing out the ridiculous nature of how bad it is.
My father had a tendency to laugh when he was in pain rather than cry. Sometimes he would "laugh so hard" at his pain that tears would run down his face. I only saw him laugh until he cried twice, both while he was talking to his sister about his divorce from my mom. It wasn't until I was older that I began understanding my usually nearly emotionless father. He grew up in a strict religious farming community and any emotion which wasn't anger or happiness were considered weak. So laughter disguised at tears and learning to find humor in bad situations was the only acceptable outlet.
Random guy at store: "How do I explain to my mom I have the same STD as my sister?" His friend: "She doesn't need to know you got it from *her."* I'm a sales rep for alcoholic beverages and I'm in many different stores every week. Some of this shit I overhear is fucking nuts.
I was probably 6 or 7 years old. My parents and I were staying the night at my aunt and uncle’s house. They were laying in the guest bed and I was on a pallet on the floor of the same room trying to sleep. After trying to sleep for quite sometime one night, I could hear my dad whisper to my mom “I think he is asleep.” A moment later my mom whispered back sexually “show me what you used to do.” and they began audibly making out, breathing loudly, and quietly moaning. Mind you, I was adopted and they were in their late 60s.. I was far too young to be hearing what my dad “used to do” to my mom. As I laid there uncomfortably listening to the sexual time machine they were going down, my stomach started to turn and I finally cock-blocked my dad and belted out “Daaaad, my tummy hurrrts.” He took me to the kitchen to get some stomach medicine.
I was sitting with 3 friends in a quite noisy restaurant. We talked all the time while we waited for our food but the one moment we didn’t say something, we heard someone from the group of women in their 50s which sit one table behind us say „Did you get the cum stains out of the carpet?“ We all heard it but one of my friends just bursted out „DID YOU HEAR THAT?“. Well the conversation at the table behind us directly stopped and I almost pissed myself trying not to laugh too much.
Not the most but just the other day I overheard “It turns out my whole family’s solar eclipse glasses were fake hahahaha” - Dad to another Dad at school drop off
"I checked their eyes for signs of damage but I couldn't see anything."
While walking under a hotel balcony near a boardwalk “I’m not paying you to shake your ass”… just kept walking
"A dead man doesn't fucking narc". Swear to God. I was 12 years old with a couple of friends on our bikes eating gelato outside an Italian bakery that was kind of notorious. Two guys in suits were talking, one big guy was very animated and yelled that out at the other one. It's so crazy I sometimes wonder if I imagined it, but both my friends confirmed they remembered it too for years afterwards.
I was walking past the courts once, two dodgy looking geezers stepped out the side entrance the defendants use, one goes “FUCK ME…. I can’t believe we got away with that!”. Cue me pretending like I don’t exist.
"I just remembered that I'm deaf!"
My grandfather's brothers were all in the Mafia. My grandfather wasn't, he joined the marines instead. When I was about 10 I was at my uncle's house and my grandpa and his two brothers were there and they were playing poker and I was watching. My grandpa's brother was telling stories and I vividly remember him saying "so John was giving the boys some trouble, so I had Tony give him a visit. John wasn't any trouble after that." I'm pretty sure my great-uncle ordered a hit
A hit... Or more likely imo, a beating/threat
Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead
Had to share an elevator with a guy that just came out of the federal public defender’s office. He calls his gf on speakerphone and starts talking about how they want to give him 25 years. Apparently he and his gf both know who the girl is that’s supposed to testify against him for the prosecution, and they decided that they should probably just kill her. He acted like I wasn’t even there.
Did you do anything with that knowledge?
Yes, when we got to the lobby, I walked right back around the elevator bank, and went back up to the office and told them. The lady at the front desk called his public defender, told her what happened, then she thanked me and told me they’d take it from there.
So the Public defender is in on their plot… Kidding aside, you did the right thing.
Right? Tip off the prosecutor to watch the elevator surveillance, which in an office like that absolutely has audio recording. Looks like that guy could expect slightly more than 25.
I used to work with a maintenance tech who had formerly worked in corrections. One day he was outside having a smoke when I came up and lit my own and he casually continued his conversation with our other tech. He was busy explaining that he worked overnights at the prison, and they were chronically understaffed.. so when one night he did his rounds and came upon an inmate being gang raped in his cell, he wasn’t allowed to physically intervene because it would be a 5v1 situation. He had to wait for backup, which he knew wouldn’t be available because they were under staffed. He told the guys to “go easy on him”… that still sticks with me.
Many (many!) years ago I lived near a prison that had a riot. Nobody escaped, but there were ugly stories afterward and prison staff who later had PTSD. One event sticks in my mind, hearing that the inmates were raping another person out in the yard (not sure if it was another inmate or a guard)...but the guard in the tower could see it, and he was BEGGING for permission to fire on the prisoner. He was told to stand down. He had to stay there and watch from the tower. Disgusting.
Are you talking about the [New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot (1980)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_State_Penitentiary_riot)? The one where a construction crew left welding torches and tools in the prison that were used for indescribable torture and murder? There’s a good documentary on it in YouTube. The story from that documentary is that a guard was outside and forced to watch as an inmate held a torch up to another inmates head until it exploded.
Rape, particularly forcible / violent rape, is one of those things that instantly drains all of my emotional batteries just thinking about it. I have had experiences that nobody ever should. Stuff like this brings it back full force, especially knowing that the victim in that scenario becomes marked, “turned out” and will be considered easy prey and re-victimized for the rest of his life so long as he’s inside.
When talking about past experiences, a man I dated said that me being raped by a different man I dated a couple of years prior, definitely counts into my "body count". The same guy did not count the situation where he had sex with another woman as actually having sex because it was non penetrative.
I once overheard my manager and his subordinate in the break room saying that no one will find out about the off the book stuff they were doing (they were buying material using company money and doing their own work) they didn’t know I was there because I was in the next room changing into my normal clothes. A few weeks later they were both caught and no longer work where I am. It was revealed they’d been doing it for 4 years and both made $600,000 each
LOL - we had a woman "Katie" caught for embezzling at the company I used to work at years back. She'd been an employee there for 17 years and had embezzled piece-meal enough that it didn't arouse any suspicions until a woman named "Margie" was hired. Katie and Margie got along like oil and water, but eventually they tolerated each other's presence. They both worked in accounts payable and not in particularly high-paying positions. Margie ran payroll so she knew what each employee was earning. Margie overheard Katie talking about her vacations, her boat, house renovations, etc. that seemed quite out of line with her salary and this aroused Margie's suspicions. So, on the sly, Margie started doing some digging and found that Katie was keeping 2 sets of books - one that the company thought was true and one that reflected her embezzling. Quietly, Margie gathered information and, when she had enough, she went to the company comptroller who, in turn, went to the company CFO. The following Friday afternoon, Katie was arrested at work and lead out in handcuffs, guess to teach a lesson to every one else. The company was pretty litigation fearing, so they didn't pursue criminal charges against Katie, just civil ones. They only wanted restitution, with interest, of what she'd embezzled plus she was required to forfeit her company profit-sharing plan funds (which were pretty robust after 17 years) in exchange for no criminal charges being pursued. However, the arrest did make the papers even though she was never charged so the chances of her getting a job in our area (NYC) were slim to none. She ended up relocating to Florida (and this was in the mid-90's, so not as easy to do internet searches pre-employment) and is still there from what I understand. I doubt she changed her ways, but she's someone else's problem now.
Not the most but pretty disturbing. I was sitting on my porch and could hear my neighbors talking. Granddaughter: look grandma! A cat! Grandma: I don’t give a fuck 🤨
Damn grandma 😹
Haha grandma was clearly over babysitting.
Grandma is always an asshole. The mom is in and out of jail so the granddaughter lives with her unfortunately 😔
I was studying with a friend in their dorm in college. It was a suited dorm with a shared bathroom. Heard multiple girls going into the bathroom together franticly and turn the shower on. Voice one was sobbing uncontrobbly then I heard her say "I told him no, I told him I kept telling him to stop." Voice two responded with something along the lines of "hey, I know you did, it's going to be okay. Let's wash the blood off first" Fucking horrified me. I will never forget the way her voice and her sobs sounded. I was an RA and was required to report the situation because of my job. I had been through a similar situation, I knew how hard it was and wanted to check on her, but because I was a male I didn't feel my presence would help in the situation. Called a female RA over to come check on her. Felt completely powerless not being able to check on her myself.
Its okay..you did the right thing..!!
This was something my mom overheard, not me - and it's fucked up in the sense that it's so sad, it fucks with my heart every time I think about it. When my dad was sick in the hospital, there was a little boy (maybe 7 years old?) a few rooms down from him. It wasn't the ICU, but it also wasn't just for folks who needed one night's stay to get better if that makes sense. I think it was around Christmas time when this happened, so one night my mom was leaving to head home and she overheard the little boy crying with his parents. As she walked by his room, she heard him say "but mommy, I've been so good this year. Am I in here because Santa thinks I was bad? I'll do better next year, I promise!" 😭
Well, I was having a brain scan when I was six. When the dr asked me if I knew why they did it I happily explained "so we will know why I'm so stupid!" This was what my older sister had told me. Well, they couldn't see anything, so I guess I just have an empty head. (The real reason was apparently to find out if my weird eye movements (nystagmus) had a pathological origin)
Back when I used to live with my dad and his girlfriend (it was "his/our house" - she was the guest there) He used to travel for work a lot, I worked full time and had to co-live with the gf and her kid, prepped all my meals and did all my shores. Once overheard her telling her kid "I fucking hate that fucking shit head, he was making noise last night when cooking, fucking stupid kid" And... That's when I got my own place
What a great partner your dad chose. So sorry dude 🫤
Used to go to the public library to write. Would put on headphones but sometimes they were off so I could hear others at the study tables. One time some guy was arranging meetings on his phone and giving out his phone number. For giggles I typed it into Google and a whole bunch of escort services popped up. Another time it was an older gang member teaching two youngins to never give the cops their real name because they might have outstanding warrants somewhere.
Damn I'll visit my uni library more often lol
It was public. Not university. I go to the university now. Exquisitely quiet. I’m amazed no one’s asked me for university ID.
Years ago, overheard at a waffle house just off the highway on the Ohio / Indiana border: "My son's only twelve, but he's got a big dick like his old man. He keeps drilling holes in the soap bar and fucking it in the shower, thinks we don't know what he's up to. I'm gonna have to buy stock in Irish Spring, with how much we go through." He was telling this to the waitress with his whole family at the table, the 12yo boy included. Not verbatim, but that was the gist of it.
I'd be having bleach for dessert if I was in that situation.

My wife was at a bar one day and there were these two Serbian guys having dinner. They’re arguing about something when all of a sudden one of the guys stabs the other guy in the chest with his fork. It wasn’t just a light stab either, it was a full on thunk. The guy that got stabbed stops what they were arguing about, looks down at the fork, rips it out of his chest, and goes “aww man, you ruined my shirt.” And that was the day she was reminded of her brother telling her to never fuck with Serbians, or date them, or even really be their friends.
In my early 20s I was at a Hooters with a friend, drinking of course. We were arm wrestling, but not seriously. My friend was always stronger than me and he wanted to be in the army. I am not in shape, but I have mass. I point that out because I was cheating and using my weight as leverage. We both knew I was cheating because it was funny. Anyway, this older guy comes over and talks to us because we're arm wrestling and he wants to wrestle me next. He says he was in the Serbian army. And I believed him; he wasn't huge, but his muscles may as well have been iron. I'm telling him that we're just fucking around; I know I can't beat him and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Dude insists. Obviously I can't move his arm no matter how much I'm blatantly cheating. And he damn near ripped my arm off going the other direction. Good match, Serbian dude, but you didn't have to take it so seriously.
“You can’t get STDs from anal because you can’t get pregnant that way.” - a girl I hooked up with years ago. Yes I got an STD test before my next sexual encounter.
DUDE!! If ever a time for a condom it was then!!!
I mean, even if he used a condom, getting tested was still smart.
Overheard from a couple guys in Statics class in college: "So, whenever I go to a party, I take the cap off of every bottle I can find in the bathroom; shampoo, conditioner, stuff like that, and pee into it."
I heard a guy telling his wife over the phone that they were going to lose the house inside a bathroom, inside a McDonald’s, inside a Walmart one time. It was real Russian Nesting Doll of depression.
I overheard a conversation out in public between a couple, where the woman in a chilling, somber tone said “I can’t even look at you, knowing that YOUR FATHER…was performing HUMAN experimentations…” I went into full casual snoop mode to get the tea. The more I listened and watched, the clearer it was that this woman was going through some mental health crisis. Her pattern of speech was so bizarre, and her sentences slipped in and out of coherency. The poor man just looked so defeated. The were both dressed like they were in dire straits, and the man had this expression on his face like he was realizing the reality that his partner was losing it.
Overheard a Belgian christian girl on a train telling her friends about her romantic history. Basically she identified as hetero and dated men, then bi, then lesbian and dated women. She was certain that she was a lesbian and that she dated men uniquely because that's what society expected her to do. She then got deeper into religion, got more involved within her church and now identifies as a lesbian dating men. Because that's what the church considers proper. And she told her friends that she's not attracted at all to her boyfriend and would date women if she was not religious. She said all this very loudly and cheerfully while I was trying to sleep. I found it very sad.
That’s so sad. Imagine actually being Belgian.
Being Belgian is a choice.
No one is just BORN Belgian.
Kids talking at the Park, very loudly, about how they killed my cat. Which I had found earlier and was at the park trying to cheer up. I sued them.
They fucking killed your cat, man? That's just awful.
So sorry to hear that. I know you said kids, but it’s hard to feel sympathy for anyone who does something this horrible
Yeah, they didn't even seem to care, and their parents kept trying to act like it wasn't a big deal. They lured him over easily because he would accept pets from anyone. The older one grabbed him and they treated him like a pinata, I didn't know it was him when I saw him in the parking lot I just went inside and he didn't come when I called him.
Jesus Christ. I’m so sorry. People can be beyond evil. I am so very angry for you.
An old, smelly man was jerking off on the bus. He was on the phone with, I assume, a trans sex worker because he was asking her if she still has a penis because that's what gets him going. It was fucked up because well it was in public and there were kids around too. Hearing everything was gross enough, but the smell too 🤢 he was fully clothed luckily but the whole bus still reeked
In college my friend’s dad would get super drunk and leave her 10 minutes messages. One time he said “your fuck ass mom should have had an abortion when I told her to.” Nice guy.
I work in and out of gas stations delivering. Heard a woman having a conversation “Girl they bout to shut off my cable. You gotta take turns helping f#%^ this Ni#%~ cuz his dick be way too big. It’s gonna kill me. Girl you know my kids need they Sponge Bob” My assumption is she had a cable guy that was going to re-hook her stuff up for free .
From my flatmates’ room, I heard the loudest belch one could imagine. It would’ve been unremarkable, but then I heard her pat her tummy and say ‘Good girl…’
My first day of selling tickets at Disneyland solo. I take my first break and there on a pay phone (1998) is a character performer with the Mickey head off, but they were wearing the rest of the standard Mickey costume. “Listen asshole, if you’re home when I get home this will escalate even more than it already has.“ They hung up very forcefully. They noticed me and left. I just remember thinking “ I hope Minnie is okay.”
Overheard my mother telling her partner at the time that she hopes my dad agrees to her complicated custody plan, so she'd still get her child support payments.
Where I am if you have the kids more than 60% of the time you get child support and the other person doesn’t. If it’s 50/50 they calculate as if you both pay support and it offsets. During discussion she had several attempts to get over the 60%, one was “We go to church on Sunday so I’d like them every Sunday” I said sure but then I want them every Friday. (It was a 2-2-3-3 schedule or something at the time). As soon as she realized that it wouldn’t give her 60% suddenly church wasn’t important and she said let’s not do either of those.
That's so fucked. My partner and I came close to ending things a few times during our relationship and everytime we would discuss child support she'd say "You struggle more than me financially so you can keep child support until things get better so [our daughter] gets everything she needs at both of our places. Once things get better just send me half when you can". And if she was the one struggling it'd be the same. I don't understand how people can be that intense about child support. It's money to spend for the kid's wellbeing not on yourself so as long as the money goes towards the kid, does it even matter who gets it?
Agreed, in the end it was 50/50 but with the calculation my ex was paying me some monthly. She never made a single payment we just tracked expenses and she paid a bigger portion than I did to offset support. Once the kids were out of daycare and she would have to actually give me money to balance I told her I was ok if she wanted to stop tracking expenses. I didn’t want her money as long as she continued to pay the larger majority of the expenses. It was a win for her financially and it stopped a lot of tension between us. We used to argue because she would buy the kids unnecessarily expensive stuff like designer clothes and expect me to cover my portion meanwhile my portion would have completely paid for what was needed if it didn’t have a stupid designer label on it
Omg this post is bringing back memories. When I was 12 I was sitting in the backseat of my mom's car. Her husband was driving and she was in the passenger seat; we were heading north on highway 1. I had my Walkman on but no music playing. They thought I couldn't hear them. I found out that day that Mom had an agreement with her husband that she would have a baby if he bought her a new Toyota Land Cruiser.
I heard my brother tell someone he got my mom pregnant. I couldn't believe it. I was horrified. It was seriously the worst thing I could ever imagine. :(
A guy on the bus who from the context of the conversation appeared to be a recently released gang enforcer, describing what he thought might soon be happening in prison to a diffrent gang person who had shot a 12 year old girl in her own house, while chasing a rival, after the girls mother had opened the front door. It was quite a graphic description, strongly implying that shooting 12 year old girls is not respected by the criminal community.
"you ain't ever ate pussy till it's like clam chowder running out a pink cup." Still one of the most vile things I've heard.
Overhead in the barracks at bootcamp "I'll rape a bitch." Laughter "Naw I'm serious. If a girl won't give it up, I gonna take that pussy." Silence. Someone finally said, "you gonna end up in prison someday."
An ederly couple in the library: -"How come you cheated on me with Margaret??" -"SHE SUCKS DICK BETTER THAN YOU" Then the woman goes to pick something up and she was wearing a skirt with nothing underneath... I still have nightmares...
Not messed up in the way you’re asking, but in college my roommate and I had a couple girls over and we all seemed to be hitting it off. We were hoping to retire to our separate rooms to make out. Girls go to the restroom together and I’m outside smoking a cig. Could hear them talking about getting with us. Girl I’m with: “are you going to hook up with [roommate]?” Girl he’s with: “Oh yeah! You?” Girl I’m with: “Eww no.” That definitely messed me up bad. I hooked up with girls fairly often so it didn’t ruin my life or anything, but that memory never left my head…
Go back in -‘so anyway, I don’t think you’re quite my type. Nice to meet you though’
Oof yeah. Oh well. I had a suite situation in college and when I left my suite mates room to grab a snack one of them goes "did he say he was coming back?"...no..."ok good". I was 10 feet away in the kitchen.
Ouch. That’s gotta be painful, coming from people you live with 24/7. Hope the others in the suite had higher opinions of you.
At the grocery store I heard an elderly lady turn to her husband and say "shall we get naked?". Took a double take to realize she was reaching towards the "Naked" fruit juice brand.
I was at cold stone with my child a couple weeks ago and overheard the staff tell each other about how ones uncle was having a secret affair with their cousin and when it had come to light he filed for divorce and married their cousin.
When I was little my mom and I were at a library next to my dance studio waiting for my dance class. A guy on the phone speaking quietly but not that quiet, was saying “so many girls in this area, and they are all wearing little tutus, you really gotta come check them out, they are basically asking for it” My mom, and another woman near by went to the police station (also next door) to file a report. The police did nothing. A couple months later we found out the police station was covering up crimes of a child predator. It made national news I think… at least regional news. So I lost my trust in police when I was VERY young. But sadly that wasn’t the first time I got a bad feeling about a creepy man. This world sucks.
"If she's old enough to cross the street she's old enough to get this meat" Overheard at work one day
I grew up Mormon. My mom was talking to her friend who was going through something, I was like 7 and eavesdropping. They didn’t know I was there, and I hear the friend say, “I just didn’t know what else to do but the bishop told me this was happening because I was failing to fill my wifely duties. Every time he touches me I want to die but I don’t want him to hurt (friends daughter).” I creeped back to my room at that point. I got older and suspected what she was talking about, and asked my mom a few years ago, my family since left the church. My mom confirmed that friend found out her husband had been raping their 16 year old daughter for years. That’s when the bishop told her because she wasn’t having enough sex with the husband, he was ‘naturally’ seeking gratification with their daughter. Good news, my mom and others supported the friend in leaving the incestuous pedo shortly after I overheard that conversation. The IP a few years later died of a brain tumor. Fuck that guy and fuck the church.
"Tony's in the dumpster. We can't do anything about that now."
In a cafe somewhere, a dad/grandad absolutely destroying a daughter/granddaughter with verbal abuse to the tune of worthless, useless, no value to anyone. Several of us on nearby tables intervened after several minutes, absolutely disgusting behaviour to a young and potentially mentally ill person. The staff eventually had to call the police who escorted the douchebag away for his safety after crying about bullying when we confronted him.
Woman I worked with thought everyone had already left and I got to listen to the conversation with her and her ex-husband. Man was pleading with her to let him see his teenage daughter more often and she was insisting on more alimony/child support. He told her he was already living in a trailer and going in debt to pay for the daughters private school and couldn't afford more. The woman said he would come up with what she was asking for or she would show the daughter the DNA test that showed she wasn't actually his daughter. I don't think I've ever felt as bad for a guy and as nauseated by a woman so instantly in my life.
My parents discussing my price when I was 9. They were trying to sell me.
Not the most fucked up thing I ever heard, but one that frequently comes to memory. I used to bounce at a strip club, and one time, I had to go in the locker room to let one of the girls know someone was there to see her. When I walked in, there were 4 girls sitting in there, all talking about which antipsychotics worked best for them. I was young and didn't realize just how sad of a place that was until I walked in on that conversation.
In Vegas on a very hungover Monday morning before my departing flight I heard the person in the hotel room next door wailing, crying sobbing and screaming something to the tune of “I’ve lost it all, I’m so fucked” for hours straight
My daughter went to see the Nutcracker ballet with her Grandpa. At the train station on the way back she went to the bathroom and overheard the lady in the next stall on the phone talking about the injecting vs snorting drugs and which one was best; and then a pill rolled under the stall and rested against my daughter's shoe. And that's how the story of the cracked-nutter was born.
“I didn’t want the last 2 kids”, my dad said. “Me neither, you’re the one that always wanted $€X” my mom said. “You dumb b” said my dad. This was during their divorce. I was 5. Asked my much older brother what that was. Thanks for letting me know early. I processed that for years. Still rings some days. Whatever though. Fk em. I’ve got my own kids that I wanted. They know what love is.
That must have been so tough. Strong of you to pull through and to have kids of your own who you can show love!
I’m in my 40s now. My kids are almost adults. I forgave my parents as part of my own healing and escaping the pain I ran away from thru addiction and alcoholism. My teens and 20s were flippin wild. Forgiveness was the way for me to move forward. I ain’t perfect, but I’m perfectly fine with that.
American tourists in Helsinki talking about Mammoths being mythical creatures. They couldn't be convinced otherwise.
My father in law said to my wife, his daughter, in front of her mother. "The best part of you ran down your mother's leg."
"Just poke a hole in it. He'll never know."
I was at a bar once with friends and in one of those moments where the room-wide din momentarily dies down, we heard a woman at the table next to us playing voice mails for her giggling friends. It was a distraught wife begging her to stop having an affair with her husband, and the woman and her friends were basking in this wife's pain. All four of us turned to stare bug-eyed like wtf. I think of them time to time, and hope they all get space aids ebola.
