“‘Bite’ Them, Run Away”: 30 Weird Things People Could Only Admit To Doing Anonymously
InterviewWhether it's due to shifts in mood or a (temporary) lapse in judgment, we sometimes take actions that surprise even ourselves. Even though we know they're uncharacteristic and do not reflect our personality, explaining that to others (who don't have access to our thoughts) can be tricky. So we decide to bury them in our minds.
But this puts additional mental weight on us and a person can only take so much. Luckily, a woman who goes on the internet by the nickname Key_Nectarine_1969 made a post on Reddit, asking platform users, "What's the weirdest thing you've done that you could only tell people anonymously?" and inviting everyone to free themselves of the burden.
Her call was answered. Immediately, the comments section turned into a virtual confession booth, reminding us that keeping secrets is part of being human.

When I was walking to school one morning, I saw a kid (7-8 yo?) kicking a dog. I ran over & kicked the kid and asked him how it felt. He ran off and no one saw. Still not sorry.
My cat has trained me to give her rides around the house by jumping on my shoulder.
I walk her over to the peephole of the door, she looks out it (at it really).
There is an dangling elephant thing with a bell that my wife has a decoration, she looks at and or sniffs it.
I walk her to the back door to take a look for a minute (its glass).
Then I drop her off at her cat scratching post and she jumps off. She purrs like a freak the entire time. It's adorable.
We do this several times a day.
My cat likes me to carry him around the house so he can put his paws on/sniff everything that's usually too high for him to reach. He lets me know what he wants to "explore" by putting his paw out towards the thing he wants. He purrs like a maniac as well. He's such a gorgeous little weirdo!
Off topic, is it just me or does anyone else misses their cat during the work day and can’t wait to get home
Isn't it nice to know that there IS someone waiting for you at home?
Load More Replies...Mine ask for rides everyday, it's her routine. Like every morning, meowing ''Please take me near the windows, I have to look at the birds''
Omg, my 2 cats like to climb onto my back, it hurts but its fun to walk around with a psychopath on your back lol
I guess your lat sentence seems a little creepy.......you refer your cat right?
Load More Replies...My first cat used to climb up your body to sit on the shoulder. Later in life, would come as soon as I got home to jump on the shoulder and drape himself around my shoulders, like front half one side, back legs on the other shoulder. He would stay there as long as I let him, while I walked around and did stuff. All his life, he loved riding on my shoulders!
My cat trained me to give her laundry basket tour rides through the house! She'll hop in and lay down looking at me expectantly with adorableness.
Part of my morning routine is cradling my cat in my arms and dancing around the room, usually to Tracy Ullman's, "They Don't Know About Us." It starts the day off right.
We managed to get in touch with Key_Nectarine_1969 and she was kind enough to tell us more about her now-viral post.
"To be honest with you, [I came up with the idea for it when] I was sitting in bed and watching ‘I Am Not Okay With This’ on Netflix," the Redditor told Bored Panda.
"[Then,] a scene popped up of the main character and the potential love interest showing each other their weird secrets. Because of that, the question just suddenly popped into my head!"
As an 8 year old, I was very, very scared of and obsessed with the idea that I was a sinner and going to hell. It led to a couple weird things. I’d pray for hours every night which led to insomnia. I had to name everyone I knew or else they’d surely die because they weren’t being protected by Jesus. If I missed someone on the list, I’d have to start over. Yes, this was OCD.
Secondly, I was pretty sure I was the bride of the devil. I was 100% sure I had been selected to give birth to the antichrist since I was so evil. So I’d routinely punch my stomach really hard to end anything that might be in it. I’d intentionally fall and put myself into dangerous situations with the hope that, even if I was destined to live in hell for eternity, I could save my family from dealing with the f*****g antichrist. Don’t teach your kids religion. Even if they don’t have mental health issues like me, it will f**k them up in ways they will never tell you about.
"Don’t teach your kids religion." This. Religion screwed up my life, my mind, and made me waste two decades of my life because of my childhood brainwashing. I am still bitter over it.
This is so sad. They were taught all the wrong things which affected their confidence rather than being taught that Jesus loves us despite our sin. As a christian myself i hope they found peace with or without religion. Jesus loves them AS THEY ARE regardless but i hope they get the help they need. 'Don't teach your kids religion' no, dont teach them that being a christian is a lifetime of feeling guilt and shame as a way to control them but of love, kindness, helping others and NO JUDGEMENT.
My religious beliefs are important to my empathy and capacity to deal with trauma. I feel sorry that some people use it to punish instead of help.
Something similar happened to the 13 year old daughter of a friend of mine. She became very shy and introvert all of a sudden, she had been a very happy kid, always joining in the activities at school singing dancing theater. Turned out period had started and she felt that she wasn't pure like the Virgin Mary anymore. She felt dirty and unworthy of the love of God. yea religion is foorking great.
As a kid if I came home and no one else was home I my first reaction was to think the Rapture happened and I was left behind. Not as serious as this post but it took 10-15 years to realize how messed up that was
Strangely enough my religion kind of soothes my obsessive compulsive behaviors and anxiety sometimes. And I am forever grateful to God for that because those really suck. But I understand that it’s different for everyone, and I grew up in a good parish that didn’t constantly drill into your head that if you do something wrong you’re going to hell and stuff like that.
I know it's not shameful or wrong, but a buddy and mentor died suddenly in a car accident several years back. I think of him often but especially when I glance over my Steam friend list and see how long he's been offline. I still send him messages once in a while and pretend for a minute he'll log back in and call me up to give me an update on his kids and ask me how my wife's doing, set up another time to play guitar together and get sushi.
It took me a long time to not look at my deceased friend's WhatsApp contact. It was weird having it there as if he was still alive.
I had a friend die of an aneurism very suddenly and unexpectedly a few years ago. It's got to be at least 8 years now. He's still in my contacts. I've had at least three new phones in that time.
Just because someone is gone, doesn't mean you no longer have a relationship with them
My husband and I had a close friend tragically end his life 10 years ago. He is still in my contacts on my phone, and his birthday remains in my calendar. Every year I get that notification and wish him a happy birthday 🥹
One of my oldest online friends (from 2006) died last year. Even though we had never met in person, his loss really hit me hard. He died the day after his birthday. No one told me, I knew something wasn't right, as he hadn't responded to my emails, I googled, and found his obituary. I'm still trying to process it.
Same happened to me a couple years ago. We messaged every day on this pet site and than nothing. I gave it a couple weeks (hurricane went by her area and I thought it was power loss) then sent her a letter asking if I could help with anything. Her dad called me about a week later and told me she passed away. I cried, even though we never met she touched my life. It still makes me sad.
Load More Replies...My various app contact lists contain numerous souls that have shuffled off this mortal coil. I still often twinge when I see their names but feel like removing them would be worse.
The author of the post noticed some recurring themes among the answers. "Most of them involved a sexual plot, or something along those lines, which is very interesting to me," she said.
This is indicative of a broader pattern, too. When Michael Slepian, Ph.D., who is the Sanford C. Bernstein and Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics and author of The Secret Life of Secrets: How Our Inner Worlds Shape Well-Being, Relationships, and Who We Are, surveyed 50,000 research participants, he discovered that the most common secrets we keep include a lie we've told (69 percent), romantic desire (61 percent), sex (58 percent), and finances (58 percent).
I was extremely socially isolated as a child and tried to make friends with the coyotes who lived in the woods by our home. I caught one in a snare and fed and kept her. I wanted a friend.
That‘s so sad. I hope now you know, that friends aren‘t caught and kept in a cage. Friendships are mutual. And i really hope, you have found real friends now ☺️.
I know how you feel, I'm an semi antisocial girl cause of anxiety so I mostly talk to my cats or isolate myself in my room away from my family which has turned into a bad habit
I hope you have a lovely gif to keep you company and I RESLLY hope the coyote was let go without injury.🫤
please don't ever think something wild like a coyote can ever be kept as a pet safely or humanely.

All throughout middle school, there was someone who tucked unwrapped Hostess Devil Dogs into the toilet paper dispensers in the bathrooms, so that when you pulled some toilet paper out, the devil dog would fall out into your hand. We had to have an assembly about it. That person... Was me.

"I believe that it's often difficult to navigate between the impulse to share a secret and facing potential consequences due to societal standards," Key_Nectarine_1969 said.
"To vaguely quote somebody's confession, 'I still pick my nose and eat it.' Societally speaking, people would judge you. They'd most likely assume that you're immature and, well, gross. Even though the percentage of the population who do this is pretty high! It's difficult because society is hypocritical and judgmental."
"I do believe that online platforms help with this," she added. "They create a sort of anonymity that's basically the equivalent of a safety blanket."
Stole over 1,000 wafers from church because I really liked the communion wafers & didn’t know where else to get them. I felt really blessed & cursed for a long time.
My parents did communion set up, break down for years. We got to have the expired or unusable leftovers. I love grape juice and crackers to this day.
As a European, that "...grape juice..." reads really unexpected in this sentence.
Load More Replies...That's weird but not blasphemous as they haven't been blessed in the Eucharist.
The wafers given at church have been blessed. Normally churches order wafers in bulk. My dad was friends with a bishop, so when he was a kid he sometimes got to go to the wafer factory and eat the cuttings
Load More Replies...I'm not religious, but when I used to be my favorite part of church was going up and getting the wafers
And not getting to eat breakfast before mass, I was always hungry by then!
Load More Replies...Why would this person want wafers? Especially the ones made out of the stuff shown in the photo? These melt and stick onto the tongue and roof of the mouth. It wouldn't be my choice of food to eat. Unless they took them to use at their own church?
As they said: they really liked them. The inability to adapt other perspectives (beCaUse I wouLD NEvER do THaT) is a trait that never ceases to irritate me.
Load More Replies...I took some every now and then in my childhood as well. Just because I was looking for food, always hungry.
One time I went outside at like 2AM and put the garden hose nozzle into my b******e and sprayed some water into it, then I farted it out onto the lawn. Basically gave myself an enema with a garden hose. I did this because I was bored. My neighbour saw me and told my dad (lived at home at the time).
Never heard that expression before, “so bored, I stuck a hose up my a**e”
Load More Replies...When I'm bored at 2am I go to bed. I have never considered going outside and blasting cold water up my a*s.
I'm guessing (hoping) that your dad basically just did a "kids will be kids lol" and left it at that.
One time when I was 6 I took turns pooping behind a rock with my best friend. Her mother saw us out the window and was not happy. Behind the rock was also in full view of the road
The hard part of having a secret is having to live with it, alone in your thoughts. As Dr. Slepian wrote, when the only venue to work through it is your own mind, you are not likely to find the most productive way of thinking about it.
Like a carousel that just never stops, each time you think back on it, you may go through the same motions, have the same negative thoughts, reiterate the same regrets, and find yourself getting nowhere.
It often takes a conversation with another person to escape the loop.
I write Guardians of the Galaxy fanfic. My favorite author in the fandom likes my stuff… It’s so much fun, and I wish I could talk about it with people irl…
I feel you, I used to write a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction (especially about Tom Riddle), but I didn't want to tell my classmates, friends, even my parents. It was my secret, though I uploaded some and got positive comments.
Sometimes you can have your little secrets. When i was a teenager, i made digital artwork and uploaded them online. I never shew my family or friends. I think it was embarassing for me. I later became a designer and gained confidence in my artworks.
Dude, I will lower the veil this once to tell you I used to write Beatles fanfic. Had a couple fairly popular fics, too. Read a fic once, was impressed, so I emailed the writer to tell her so, and she replied absolutely gushing about how much it meant to her to hear that from me. I noped out of the fandom soon after because of the absolutely stupid level of drama. And that was nothing compared to the Harry Potter fandom (Cassie Claire can f**k all the way off).
Hah... funnily enough I used to write lots of Lord of the Rings fanfics.
Why do people see fanfction as something to be embarrassed about? I don't get why people seem ashamed to say they write fanfics
You might be able to. I have a friend who writes Buffy fanfic (still), and members of their online group get together at mini-cons IRL. Check around.
I write MCYT fanfiction! I’ve also dabbled in a few other fandoms. It’s really nice for practice cuz you don’t have to go through all the work developing complex characters, you can just yoink them and put them in your own story lmao
i found a dead rat in a field when i was younger and kissed it bc i wanted to say goodbye
That‘s so pure and sweet. Also dangerous because the rat might have been infected. Luckily you were fine.
I seriously doubt she used her tongue, and the rat wasn’t in a position to bite her, so she was okay, unlike a stupid little girl I usta know who, when presented with a baby bat, held it by its wings and kissed it … and its teeth latched onto her lip and she turned her head back and forth frantically trying to get the bat off and screaming bloody murder. My dad finally pried its jaws apart and I was free. Uh, not me; I meant the girl I knew. This definitely wasn’t me. I didn’t not kiss that bat. It was someone else! Honest!
Load More Replies...I found a dead ... rat or squirrel, I can't remember which, I was like 4, I insisted on giving it a funeral and one of my uncles helped me. We had a lovely little service for it in the woods.
I once saved a baby rabbit. My dog found it, picked it up in its mouth and brought it over to where I was sitting, where she put it at my feet. Because she was in a dogs mouth, she had some bite marks that were bleeding pretty bad. We went over to where the dog was and found another baby rabbit who was unharmed, and one that was [deceased]. We stopped the bleeding, and put them out in the yard in case the mother came back. In the morning they were gone. A coyote might’ve gotten them, but wr left the [unalive] one as well and it was still there. About three years later, I found a [not living] adult rabbit in around the same spot. I buried her, and sometimes I wonder if they were the same one. There’s a lot of bunnies around, so probably not, but I like to think that the very beginning and end of her life were marked by me.
When I was younger I joined a international dating site that I figured was a scam. Put a black square as my picture and gave myself a fake name, and then looked through there users. And after about 10 minutes I had like a 100 messages. Most of them were messages telling me how handsome I was or how these women fell in love with me at first site. Now I knew it was a scam but when ever I felt down or got rejected for a while I would pop back on the site and read a few messages. Yeah it’s kinda cringy and probably pathetic but it made me feel better. I would just turn off that logical part of my brain that knew it was a scam for awhile and just pretend I was this popular and desirable guy. And it honestly got me through the day sometimes.
Why not? There is nothing wrong with dreaming abd escaping reality sometimes. As long as you realize it‘s not real.
Good on you for spotting it was a scam. And using the blank picture to prove it.
Sometimes rose colored glasses are necessary. I ignore that people can be wildly unhygienic- and still go to salad bars. I just pretend no one ever scrapes dry skin, hair, you know- whatever- into those delicious, ready-to-eat vegetables and chow down like a starved rabbit. Whatever. Wear the glasses, sometimes ignorance (or feigned) is as good as it gets.
Once I got off the subway in NYC and I was super early for an appointment. So I picked a random guy and just followed him on foot for like 30 minutes, pretending I was like a private detective or something. Always kept about a half block behind. He turned this way and that, and eventually went into a building I had lived in 9 years earlier. It was weird, and so was I.
On long journeys, a friend of mine used to pick another car and follow it. It changed lanes, he changed lanes. If it left the motorway before him, he'd pick another one.
Oh I’ve done that to keep myself alert on long drives :) it works pretty well!
Load More Replies...Ok, I'm definitely going to try this out :D Sounds like fun to me.
There is a New Zealand company called Getting Lost that has a card game to take on road/walking trips. The cards have things like 'turn left at the next servo' and 'turn in the direction the wind is blowing'. You keep picking cards until you get to one that says head home (or in this case, head back to where you were going at the start). Good way to kill time and maybe discover some hidden gems.
We got super drunk and ate a ton of spicy food in New Orleans. Back at the B&B, the food started to come out the back side. I was sitting on the toilet s******g bricks of fire. At that moment, the booze decided to hang a u-turn. The trash can was out of reach and I couldn't risk standing up from the toilet for even 5 seconds. The closest receptacle was the bathtub. I managed to turn in such a way that I could keep s******g in the toilet while projectile vomiting into the tub. Both ended up clogged, and there was no plunger. I had to call the owner to explain that I had destroyed both their toilet and their tub simultaneously.
This happened to me in Mexico. Sitting on the toilet, trashcan in front of me, exploding from both ends. Fever of 102, blisters all over my face and shoulders from sun poisoning... miserable.
I got so bad in Mexico I just sat in the shower s******g myself because I was in too much pain to move.
Load More Replies...Cockles. Really lucky I can reach the sink from the loo in my tiny bathroom
This gave me flashbacks of a food poisoning episode I once had. While stuck to the toilet violently s******g c**p I didn't know my body could produce, I was also violently vomiting into the tub next to the toilet because, well, my body REALLY didn't want whatever it was I ate. Luckily, no fire shits. I've had fire shits because I love spicy foods. You know you have had a lot of spicy food when you have violent fire hot shits. Apparently, after a certain amount of spicy food, it inflames your insides and you get the shits. The amount it takes to get to this point varies by person. For me, at present, it is one packet of Nongshim Shin Ramyun Spicy noodles. Just enough spice to set my b******e ablaze.
I’m a migraineur so I vomit a lot. I carry around plastic shopping bags so that when I’m surprised, I don’t hafta try to find a place to throw up. Sounds as if people need to hear this tip. The cheap plastic bags you get at the bodega? Grab one if you suspect you may need somewhere to throw up.
Load More Replies...Hey! My childbirth story involves both ends emptying into the toilet and bathtub. I get it. (I didn't plug the drains, though. The midwife handled the castaway).
Last time I was there, I got food poisoning after we had checked out of our hotel. I was in the bathroom in the lobby vomiting. Unfortunately i attracted some friends - 3 of those huge New Orleans cockroaches. Right around the toilet I was kneeling before. For a long time it was "vomit scream, vomit, why?, Scream vomit " I missed my flight and checked back in.
I once attended a "silent disco" event at a park, but I didn't have any headphones. So, I just danced along with everyone to the silent beats, pretending to hear the music. It was bizarre to dance in silence, and I couldn't tell anyone because they'd think I was crazy.
There is ALWAYS a song (or something similar) playing in my head. It’s just background noise. I can’t control it or turn it off. Oddly, I won’t always know the lyrics but if I let it play I can hear the lyrics. Weird? Yeah, probably.
Load More Replies...Not if you're wearing a hoodie with the hood up, or have a big head of curly hair, or wear a hat, and so on.

Drove my car into a tree no seat belt trying to un-alive myself, failed and ended up with a badly broken right arm and left hip like total hip replacement. Everyone in my family thinks it was some accident and I've been too embarrassed to admit it wasn't.
How do you feel now? Please seek help. Life is precious, i hope you find the will to live again.
Glad your attempt failed and I too. Hope you are getting the help you need.
sounds crude, but from experience: sometimes this is the jolt that you need to understand life is worth living
This is the second time I have heard the phrase “un-alive”
I'm so sorry. I hope things are going better for you now
This doesn't need to be taken as religious, but, that was a sign that it wasn't your time.
I downloaded Grindr bc I thought maybe I was gay but after a few dudes started messaging me I was like “no” and deleted it
For some, this is how they found it they're not attracted to men, or that they're only attracted to fantasizing about men but not attracted to actual men. And that's totally fine. And for some this is more of a fear response, things used to be more theoretical, at a safe distance; and now all of a sudden it's becoming closer and very real, and we may not be ready for that yet, so it might trigger a feeling like 'this is totally not for me!'. And that's also totally fine. Maybe in the future he'll feel the desire to try again, and maybe he won't. Time will tell, there's no need to stress about it.
This is so wise. I'm in my mid-50s, and trying to suss out if I may be inclined to women, after a lifetime of men. Am I bi, or do I just really, really like Gillian Anderson?
Load More Replies...Don't be completely sure. The expression "No means NO." doesn't always apply to a no you give yourself.
I thought I might be bi for a while, cuz I felt the same way about men and women. After going through boot camp, where you share shower rooms with 70 other women... yeah, I was 100% certain I was not into women.
Well, that was a better idea than my g@ng b@ng. Same result with less cleanup.
Yeah, I feel you there but I sadly figured myself out in 4th grade (lesbian)
I would do role play chats in these online browser games when I was like 9-14. They'd ALWAYS turn sexual but because I was so innocent at the time I didn't know how to continue, so I'd just... "bite" them, run away, and block them lol.
Better this way. You saved yourself. I have the feeling the counter parts were a lot older, which would have been awful.
I’d roleplay all the time! But the games I played had very strict chat filters so I don’t think any of them turned sexual that I can remember
If it ain't a predator doing this, it's a creepy incel f**k trying to ask a girl out over Snapchat.
this is why i blocked/never let me son play games with online chat rooms...pedos, pedos, everywhere
I used to play Yahoo pool after school a lot in high school, starting when I was like 14. I usually said I was 16, but guys would always get creepy on me anyway. I'd let them do their thing while I barely responded and continued playing pool. When they were done I'd be like, "I'm really a 13 year old boy!"
I get really awkward and self conscious outside alone but really wanted to watch a movie in the cinemas and BF had no time to accompany me. Guess what, I went there alone, bought the tickets, watched the entire movie laughing and came back home like I did nothing. Still one of my greatest secrets.
It’s honestly fun! Once you get past the initial awkwardness, taking yourself out to movies and restaurants etc is a lovely and satisfying experience :)
Load More Replies...Good for them. I love going the cinema alone. I can watch what I want rather than sit through a movie I'm not bothered about seeing because I feel obligated. I don't have to share my snacks and can sit in peace. I honestly don't know why some people think it's embarrassing to go to the cinema alone.
Wow. Someone else's "dark secret" is my "boring, rainy, Saturday night". Curious.
There is nothing wrong with that.... Best time to go see a movie is late morning/early afternoon while everyone is at work
Doing things normally done en masse on your own is great. I go to a pub where the outdoor bit extends over a cliff top. Nothing better then sinking a cold one, looking at the ocean, in the serenity, on my own.
Was in a thruple for 3 years on the DL in the deep religious south. I was a nurse at the local hospital, hubby was a principal at the jr high and our gf was head of the English dept of the school district the next town over. Our close friends knew, but not really something I can talk about in the break room ya know. Relationship ended for various reasons, but was sure fun while it lasted….

I’ve always been a slim guy so a couple years ago once I started to gain a bit of weight I looked in the mirror and saw my a*s looks pretty nice, like a girls a*s. I was so damn lonely that I bought myself some female underwear, tights to cover the hair and a skirt and did a photo shoot. Then proceeded to pleasure myself to them. The immense amount of shame I felt for enjoying it put me into a pit of despair. Have not done it since yet sometimes still miss it.
Agree. Harms no-one, makes one person happy. No shame needed.
Load More Replies...Just do it if it makes you happy and you aren't hurting anyone! You are only here once!
If it made you happy, and no one was hurt, where is the harm? Do not feel shame over this!! I bet you ROCKED that skirt!
It's not harming anyone. And if it isn't harming anyone, you're free to experience sex in any way you like. Isn't it horrible how we as a society make people feel ashamed about their desires that aren't harming anyone? And that we make some people feel so ashamed that they don't even allow themselves to masturbate in ways that they enjoy? All this potential happiness, and we are preventing each other from experiencing that happiness. Shame on us, as a society.
Why would you feel ashamed for this? It's good to love yourself! Be proud! You're probably hot.
No different than the people who look in the mirror and watch themselves. It's totally healthy to love yourself!!
I was in the woods in the middle of the night tripping. I decided to shove snow inside me. Wanted to know what it felt like. It felt cold.
I don't know about you, but I'd be happy not knowing . . . or thinking about it.

My friend, if you haven't already, get yourself tested to see if you're on the spectrum. Either that, or your pica hasn't fully developed yet.

If your ever at a volcanic eruption, I can satisfy any analogous curiosity you may feel about the molten lava.
yo, I've been there in a dream, it had purple and blue LED stings at night, and it was a super intense snowball race fight. anyone else?
When i was 15 my friend and i were alone at her place and she was trying to slice apples with mandoline in the kitchen and ended up slicing a good 2 inch skin off her palm. I dont know what came over me as she was screaming and ran to the living room but i saw the 2 inch skin stuck to the blade and picked it up and ate it. When she came back to look for it and asked where it was i pretended i didnt know. I never told anyone.
Right... probably should have kept that one to yourself there buddy...
TW: My dad was involved in dog fighting when I was a child. It’s not something I talk to anybody about. I’ll never forget our pitbull whiskey. She was a mean fighting machine. Of course, I never saw her that way because she was so loving at home. My dad brought her (and I) to a house one day to fight her son. She completely shut down. She didn’t wanna fight him. She had never lost a fight until that day. She managed to survive but not without significant injury. I was devastated. It was my first and only dog fight I had witnessed and I was scarred. When leaving, I remember asking my dad questions. “Why did whiskey have to fight?” “Do all dogs do that?” My dad was equally as devastated but probably not for the same reason. Fast forward a few months Whiskey was doing better. We were sitting in the living room when a next-door neighbor girl came over with potato chips. Whiskey end up biting her in the face bad. My dad knew what was going to happen next so he took her out back and ended her life. I 100% blame it on the dog fighting (and my father) My dad cries anytime we’ve ever talked about it. The guilt will forever be there. This isn’t something I ever talk about with anybody because my father is a changed man and he is still my father. EDIT: not weird… just traumatic.
Sorry, but dad is trash. There's very few things i can't forgive or at least get past, f*****g with animals for your own amusement, is top of the list. That's not something you should have to "learn" ffs
Poor whiskey, and poor you for having to live through this. Get yourself and your dad to a local shelter snd volunteer your guilt away!! Love all the dogs you can possibly love and apologize yo d we Whiskey every night.🫤
Don't understand dog fighting or c**k fighting, don't understand any of that.
This person's Dad belongs in Jail, where the other inmates (obviously will find out his crime) beat the c**p out of him
"Whiskey end up biting her in the face bad. My dad knew what was going to happen next so he took her out back and ended her life." - damn, for a moment I thought you're talking about the girl...
That's horrible. When I was like 18 doing door to door sales one summer, some random guy started showing me pictures of his fighting dogs. I was so disgusted but had to get out of the situation gracefully (thankfully outside in the driveway in a neighborhood, not in his house) because I was afraid to show that I was upset. I wish I had been more aware of the laws and called the cops on that sick fk.
Was drunk at an escape room with coworkers. It was an extreme one where you are handcuffed the entire time. I decided in my drunken state that it would be bad**s to dislocated my thumb and slip off the cuffs like the movies. It wasn't. We got kicked out, my coworkers were weirded out and I had to go to the hospital. I quit a few weeks later. White collar wasn't for me.
Mate of mine broke his back & is paralised since a teambuilding exercise; so yeah white collar isn't always fantastic.
My partner had a coworker who lost an eye due to a white-collar team building exercise.

gathered apple seeds cuz I heard they had cyanide in them back when I was trying to find ways to self yeet
I thought that was apricots. Apricot pits were a thing as an unproven cancer treatment several years ago and it was hard to convince my patients that they could kill them not cure them
I think it's both, and other fruits in the same family, too - bitter almonds, for example.
Load More Replies...As a millennial, I love it. Succinct yet expressive.
Load More Replies...I personally looked up the effects of drinking soap, toilet cleaner, detergent etc when I was in that dark place
when i was trying, i looked up common household things that can kill you
When I was little I'd eat apples core and all. Apple seeds do have cyanide, but it's a minuscule amount and you'd need a lot to have any effect. And if you don't chew the seeds they pass right through you anyway.
I have tried to sow these (and seeds from some other fruit) to grow them. Never worked. Not even with tomato seeds when taken straight from a tomato.
My mum grew up poor and raised not to waste a bite. She used to eat the entire apple seeds and all well into adulthood, up until I was in or nearing my teens. She was having strange symptoms she went to the doc for, and they found cyanide in her system. That's all sorted now, and she doesn't eat the seeds any more. As a kid I used to occasionally peel and eat apple and pear seeds because of that sweet almondy taste. Not since childhood though.
When I was 13, my family got like 12 bottles of buffalo ranch stuff from a food pantry. For some reason my dumbass decided to grab a bottle and start chugging it like a beer. Acting drunk and all, even though I didn’t understand what I was doing. I would later learn that my mom was/is an alcoholic, and I was most likely mimicking her behavior due to trauma. Luckily I only drank one ranch bottle(that I remember anyway).
I think the ranch blackouts start at one bottle. (RA- Ranchers Anonymous can help!)
I had a baby by c-section and didn’t take the stool softeners—-found out the hard way that I should have.
After mt first c-section, I do not recall being told to use stool softeners. A few days after leaving the hospital, I got to experience the closest thing to natural childbirth when pushing out that poop baby
This is something I never heard of. Why did the poop pile up that way? Did the baby block the intestines in the final stage before birth?
Load More Replies...HELL. HELL. HELL. The 40 mins of getting that brick out was hell. I had to basically commit surgery on myself over the toilet to remove it. Then it was a bloody hell but felt so much better after
Aaaaand this is one of many reasons why pregnancy freaks me out!
Load More Replies...The first poop after any birth event is its own event. So scary. (Now you know!)
I had a c-section and never heard about this or had problems. i do remember trying to shave my legs the next day though and having to call a nurse for band-aids
After a c-section a women's abdominal muscles take a long time to heal so straining on the toilet can be extremely painful, especially since most women suffer from constipation during pregnancy. Going to the bathroom after giving birth is always a horrible experience whither you've had the baby vaginally or by c-section. (Many women need stitches on their vulva after a vaginal delivery)Taking stool softers makes pooping easier and means the mother doesn't have to strain and put pressure on her healing body (or risk bursting any stitches.)

Had sex with a potential girlfriend's mom while the prospect was passed out after a house party.I was drunk, she was drunk, mom was drunk, her dad was not in the picture.
Good thing the potential girlfriend wasn't involved or I would have to end you, and make it look like a bloody accident.
I've been to a nudist resort multiple times and a nudist beach a couple of times. I love it. Too bad all those places are 5+ hours from where I live.
I have always wanted to do this. I never had the confidence and now i don't really have the chance.
The good news is that at that distance you probably won't meet up with someone from your home community there. The bad news is that at that distance you probably won't meet up with someone from your home community there.
I used to go to nude beaches in Europe all the time, when I was younger of course.
I found some tablets in a hotel room , decided to try one, I think it was acid, started hallucinating crazy s**t!!

Load More Replies...PSA: DON’T TAKE PILLS YOU HAVENT IDENTIFIED! Google them! Type stuff like “white oval pill 50mg ACV” (or whatever text is on it). There are a lotta users and drugs in my building, and people bring me pills they’ve found all the time. “Sorry, Hector; this is for acid reflux. Calvin, this is estrogen, and it’ll prolly make your man (・人・) worse. Malik, this is a diabetes preparation.” Only about one in ten pills is something they wanna take, but the point is DON’T SWALLOW RANDOM PILLS. LOOK EM UP. (I don’t believe this guy got acid, as I’ve only ever heard of them being “stamps,” i.e., liquid is dripped onto paper, but still, he’s a maroon.)
Years ago a mate and I were helping a landlord do a house clearance and we found a bag of white powder under a loose floorboard. A few weeks later we were drinking heavily and egged each other on to snort some. It was speed and we were well wired for days but my wife went mad when she found out. I’m much too old and sensible to take mystery powders found in old houses. Learn from my stupidity.
You are lucky that was already cut and you didn't snort a bag of 98% pure heroin or cocaine or fentanyl. You'd have felt the high of your life for a solit second then keeled over dead
Load More Replies...Jeebus Clist. Never do this, people. Don't just find pills, and take them. They could f-ing kill you. (Sorry, un-alive your a*s). A bad trip would be a gift in these circumstances.

When i was a teenager, i had THE party house. We'd hit raves in the tri-state area during the weekend, and the afterparty would end up back at my place, with the same DJ's everyone had just paid see, doing it again for free. Hundreds of people would pass through in any given night, parties would last for days on end. Once everyone cleared out....my buddy and i would start the task of cleaning up.....and scouring everywhere for lost or abandoned party favors, which were significant enough to create an ad-hoc fear and loathing style "medicine bag" Sigh...i miss being young, dumb and fun.
"The tri-state area"... what does that even mean? There's 48 contiguous states that all have 2 or 3 points where three states come together.
Load More Replies...Two friends and I dropped a bunch of acid and drove two hours to Great America. Carried around a jug of orange juice with acid in it and rode roller coasters all day. Last ride of the night was the Great American Eagle after dark and it was starting to rain. Definitely a trip!
So got high and then decided to drive and stay high when driving 😐
I wrote a diary entry during an exam. On the extra exam sheet. I'm talking like, 1 and a half pages, full text with personal Details. I hadn't prepared for the test and knew I'd tank it. So I figured I might as well use the time for something else. I got caught. Most humiliating day of my entire life.
I had a friend who wrote a self-yeeting note for her psychology paper. Was not the first one she had written in her life, but she was in a better place, and wasn't thinking about doing it. Lots of questions were asked, but in the end I think she got a good grade.
Someone in my class once wrote a religious text in his history exam paper
I was caught touching a mannequins boob in the window of a store (when I was like 12!) by a woman walking down a sidewalk
I'm sure she enjoyed it just as much as you! Edit* the lady, not the mannequin.
Yes. Most women love to see children fondling the breasts of a mannequin. However, it only applies to those women who were never part of a college sorority, as those girls learn what it means to support their sisters. /s
Load More Replies...Was in like middle school and my older sister and I somehow had a great idea. We took a bunch of our younger siblings toys and made a horror scene with them in the basement. Like red paint blood, dismembered, hanging from the ceiling. Real nasty s**t lol. We looked at our creation and immediately realized we went too far. Not only did we waste my moms money, but would have traumatized the c**p out of two elementary schoolers. Took it all down and disposed of the evidence quickly. No clue whose idea it was but we decided never to tell them lol
Hey Sid was a creative incentive kid! How was he supposed to know they were sentient? He was like 8, and creating cool new toys! Poor kid got traumatized! Ended up as a garbage man!

I helped my partner get unimpacted after a surgery. I am not sure I would ever be successful in the medical field
Morphine and derivatives constipate. If you get some during a surgery, you may need some symptomatic treatment (not just laxatives). In a country where a single pill costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, they may leave you like this.
I’m scared to ask this, but why didn’t a doctor or nurse do this at the hospital? (Or is the answer obvious and I look like a bewb for having asked?) This person sounds like a saint. A saint with a strong stomach. I have NO problem with gross things, but I already know from experience that I look at loved ones differently sometimes after caring for them when they’re sick or had surgery. (Okay; it was just one, and he whined sooo much after having his wisdom teeth out that my feelings changed. He constantly leaked snot and bloody saliva, and I became sick to death of his whining and all the output. Just didn’t feel the same about him after that.) (He was seven feet tall! I was 19 and thought that “men were men,” and that meant theydealt with pain. I know a LOT better now!)
Had to use his finger to remove the cr@p from his #*× hole

Chugged altar wine, ate communion hosts and then wheelied my BMX bike off the altar and down the aisle of my church. There were 3 of us.
School choir concert works too, our auditorium is being renovated so we borrowed a Presbyterian church.

More amused than He probably is by some of the things that are done seriously there.
Load More Replies...I'm not loving the constant mockery of the church. I'm not religious myself but it's not fair that no other religion or belief gets mocked like this. If you take the p**s out of Islam? What happens?
I mean I understand that it’s gone pretty corrupt and have done some pretty horrible things in the past but as a Christian myself it is kind of a downer sometimes. I don’t want to force anyone to convert or proclaim all the time that I’m religious and rub it in everyone’s faces how “better I am than you cuz Jesus loves me” or whatever. I just want to keep my relationship with God to myself and just be the best person I can be, and be kind to others and help them make their day a little better if I can :/ I know a lot of Christians like me, and a few like what I described. And I respect other people’s beliefs; most of my friends are atheists or agnostic. It’s like a lot of groups; the loud crazy ones ruin everyone else’s view of us.

Started compulsively keeping track of things in notes: books I’d read, outfits I’d worn, legs of flights I’d taken. I was trying to space out my hair washing so I even started tracking that on a calendar and ended up tracking it for 7 years straight.
Obsessive journaling/tracking can be a sign of OCD and that is a degenerative disease. Please check in with a doc if you can! ^^
For a lot of my lists, I forget/give up on them after a few weeks. One I continued for 6+ months was a tally of all the emergency sirens I heard from my house, organised by month.
I thought this was completely normal. Not me, but Queen Victoria, my wife, and every journalist in the world for instance.
One of my favourite books as a kid was called The Listmaker

The neighbourhood kids said that this white liquid was poisonous. I mixed a lot of it in a glass of water and drank it to unalive myself (abusive household, pure chaos). The liquid was not poisonous. I remember the sweet disappointment.
I once thought that being suicidal was the lowest and darkest I'd ever feel. I was wrong. Waking up from a failed suicide attempt, knowing I'd failed at the one thing that I thought would finally end the pain...it was indescribable. Today, I am glad I failed, and I hope that anyone else who is suffering can find a way to hang on. It can get better. Please don't lose hope.
I've done this too. I was immensely let down after it did nothing.
That's called a rubber plant -in the fig tree species. It produces a white sap that when separated, makes a compound can be used to create latex that then was used for making rubber before the para rubber tree came into use.
Or an oleander. I used to lick the white sap of oleander before I knew it was poisonous. These things are only poisonous in very large doses. PS. Does taste nice.

My wife and her best friend pick me up from a frat party black out drunk. Then they helped me take a s**t on the toilet, wiped my a*s and then gave me a shower and put me to bed naked. Don’t remember any of it.
Probably a closet for towels and the like....entrance prolly out of view
Load More Replies...The ‘dropping a deuce’ and getting cleaned up by your wife and her best friend is odd but what’s weird is that you were married and went to a frat party.
I did that in college once. Woke up naked and soaking wet in bed with a naked girl. Found my chair in the shower. Been 30 years, still don't know what happened or who she was. Yes we talked when she woke up but neither of us remember anything about that night
When I was a kid, I was in a big indoor waterpark, which had a large whirlpool like thing. I had to take a dump, but it was too much fun in there to get out. My childish reasoning said, the bubbly surface would cover everything underneath, so I just pulled my swimming pants and set it loose, believing the bubbly surface would hide it. It did not.
I was drunk once, oh long time ago when I was so young, peed standing over the toilet and showed it to my crush saying “hey I can do it too”. We dated for 2 years after that.
My partner is weirdly prone to cysts. I had to drain a 3 inch cyst on her back (thankfully she had a dr's appt the next week), then multiple other little cysts on her legs and chest. I never told her to her face but that first giant cyst literally haunted me, the amount of pus and blood I saw....good heavens
You think you're the weird one? I would absolutely volunteer to do that and find it oddly satisfying.
I was caught taking a nuclear level s**t on my ex's lawn.
I laughed way too hard at this one... Nice descriptive verbiage, I guess. LOL
I didn’t have any spaghetti sauce to make spaghetti so I cooked some elbow noodles and I put in a little light mayo and about 1/3 of a big container of powdered Parmesan cheese and mixed it. It tasted good. If you sat at the kitchen table and that is in front of you and you’re blindfolded, you would think that was spaghetti with a lot of cheese.
It's weird that I haven't thought of it before.

“American mayo, not so much”: That’s just your taste; here, macaroni salad (pasta with mayonnaise and a couple other things) is WILDLY popular. (I think it sounds gross myself, but to each his own.)

Celebrating with my mom for her birthday... Depressed as all hell... About 4 shots in of tequila started feeling happy and thought 🤔 hmmm... Haven't felt this good in months.... Downed 6 more shots.... Last thing I remember I was dancing around my dining room table. Woke up sick as s**t throwing up majority of the next day... Listening to stories of how I was tripping... Some how made it to basement... Laughed ...cried... Joked around... Unfortunately I didn't remember none of that s**t at all! That was the first time I ever got blackout drunk Eventually I had to go to the hospital
When I was working at an amusement park, spending a lot of time standing, I noticed calluses forming on my feet. I sliced them off with a razor blade. And ate them. I still do this sometimes.
I did not expect a second skin-eating post. Not sure if eating your own is better or worse than eating your friend's
When I would cut the hard bits off my feet, my dog would eat them. Meh, dogs are not herbivores.
I watched 2 episodes of Boruto. This might not sound weird or strange, but if you've seen 1 episode of Boruto, then you know that to watch more than 4 minutes of Boruto is bizarre behavior.

I just googled it; you can, too! (Didn’t find the results interesting, but boy, it seems POPULAR.)
