“Confess Your Sins Anonymously”: 35 Anonymously Shared Secrets That People Wouldn’t Dare To Confess In Reality
Have you ever found yourself in that position where you're just going about your day and then suddenly remember something embarrassing you did years ago that no one knows about, or get struck by some very important secret that just won’t let you sleep peacefully at night? It’s always interesting to hear what kind of secrets or weird confessions another person has and whether those are worse than what we’re hiding. But what if there is a way to find this out? A Twitter account called @Fesshole was created with the intention that here, people can share things that bother them anonymously. If you’re curious to find out more about what things users online tend to keep a secret and read an interview with the creator of the account, you can do it by clicking here.

The account that now has almost 630K followers and even published a book, The Very Best of Fesshole: Britain confesses anonymously, shares confessions that range from funny and even embarrassing ones to those that might be considered more serious ones. A lot of those who decided to share their confessions talk about small and perhaps embarrassing things that they don’t want others to know about, such as hiding food from other family members, not wanting to go out, staying at home instead, stealing some trifle, etc. Some also reveal “heavier” things such as wanting to move out of their country or cheating on their spouse.
I get really annoyed when a guy says to someone that the wife won't let him do it, when it's HIS choice. This can lead the 'friends' thinking less of the wife (she's soooo controlling) rather than less of the manly man who can't bear to take his own responsibility.
Is it okay to keep secrets and what does that do to our mental health? A lot of people like to keep things to themselves as they are afraid that once someone they care about finds things out, they might react badly, change their mind about the person, or break off the relationship. However, according to Dr. Alison Block, a psychologist and the Director of the Health Psychology Center, keeping a secret can make you feel even worse than actually admitting things as they are.
How can you help yourself in this case? Most of us are familiar with the feeling of having something weighing us down, but once we talk about it, it feels as if that weight has been lifted off our shoulders. The specialist stated that the best way is to think about our secret: why don’t we want to talk about it? Once we know our whats and whys, it’s important to think of ways we want to present the information to the person in question. Dr. Block revealed some useful tips to prepare yourself for it better, which include: writing down the confession or saying it to yourself, this way making yourself feel a bit better, choosing a place where you want to share your secret, having an explanation for why you decided to keep certain things a secret, etc.
Do you have some tips and tricks of your own? Don’t forget to leave them in the comments section down below!
I'm glad the poor kitty stayed, I can't help imagining the wife throwing him out every night in the beginning though 😟
Love this. Been in IT for over 15 years and started without any experience and have done pretty well for myself. But I had extremely good teachers, mentors, and supporters (including my family from a personal level for all of those late nights and screwed up holidays). All of that said, if you called me right now for support I'd still tell you to reboot
One does not simply mix milk from two different cows. Come on people.
Makes sense, although i dont use self checkouts cos i conscientiously object to providing my free labour to them on top of paying the profit gouging prices for basic essentials.
The self-checkout at my grocery is so bad that you usually need the help of at least one employee and their immediate supervisor. Thus supplying more jobs than a regular cashier would.

Yes, for these moments (or people who feel like you) SCs have total merit. They don't need to disappear, just shouldn't be used to replace cashiers.

Better safe than face down with taser barbs in your one butt-cheek.
I really love self-checkout. I get to bag my own groceries without having to do a "I've got this kid" standoff and I don't have to be offended if the checker ignores me or come up with something witty and inane if they don't. The computer doesn't care if I've had a terrible day at work and don't want to talk even a little bit.
At my local supermarket you're only allowed to use the self check-out with up to 10 items, and you have to scan the code on the receipt for the gate to open so you can leave
I wish that was stipulated at my local grocery store. One family showed up with an overloaded cart, pizza boxes toppling off frozen food and fruits and all kinds of stuff. The woman in charge of that area tried to get him to go somewhere else, but she was kinda weak about it and they just started scanning things.

The grocery chain I use has never employed baggers, and the other store I go to stopped bagging when the pandemic hit, and they only brought it back recently. The first time someone bagged my groceries in 15 years, they managed to squish the bread, bruise the bananas and put two gashes in the cucumber. Went back to bagging my own stuff.
Just a couple of hours ago I was outside a supermarket and saw a group of teenage girls emerging from the self checkout, loudly screaming at some unlucky employee. Something to the effect of "WE BOUGHT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE BEFORE WE CAME HERE SCREW YOU!", while throwing what looked like bits of shredded receipt. He took a picture of them as they ran off, and one of them screamed "PERVERT!" (As you can tell, there are a lot of very classy people around here).
once my friend and i bought popcorn at a shop. there was an offer that you got 2 bags for a discounted price. but when we tried to put it through the self service, it wouldn't work properly. we got someone to help and he said 'just take the other bag, it's fine' we were terrified we were going to get into serious trouble. but the barriers didn't even go off XD
I rarely use self-checkout, though I've noticed that some CVS locations pretty much force you to... by not manning their registers at all.
They can just look at the security cameras and reprint your receipt though.
Or when you're walking out and your just absolutely sure the alarm will sound even tho you know it won't😳
That’s why I get receipts at the pump I’m convinced a cop is gonna pull me over 😂
it has happened to people some have gotten arrested. so yeah it's a good idea to keep your receipt when you use a self check out.
Covid: Walmart let most cashiers go, kept one posted at the door to check your receipt if anything in your cart wasn’t in a bag. People complained of racial profiling, so the checker was replaced with an African American Walmart employee. Walmart posted record profits
I always seem to be selected for "random checks" and it makes me start sweating in case I forgot to scan something (even though I know I did scan everything) because I'm so paranoid about being accused. I love the smart checkouts and yes they shouldn't be used to replace cashiers but 1. I want to avoid all human interaction and 2. I work full time and I do not want to spend any longer shopping than is absolutely necessary!
The alarm went off when I left the supermarket after self-checkout today, and no-one even came to bat an eyelid. I think you're good
We have to scan the receipt to get out of the self check out corral, lol.
In Denmark you need to scan the receipt in order to get out of the store.
More than once in my local supermarket I have requested a checkout be opened for me and a staff member will say you can do it yourself there. I always reply that I am not paid to work here and you are. They do reluctantly open a checkout but tell me there will be nothing but self serve soon. The last person who rudely said that to me I just said well I guess you will be out of a job soon then.
Where I live, you have to get the receipt from self-service checkout and scan it at the self-service area exit gate to open it
There's only one supermarket chain in my area which practice it. It takes time, is inconvenient and I'm pretty sure that they do it only because people don't like to take their receipts. That's one of the main reasons why I don't shop there.

if I have to use self check out, I make sure I dont scan everything... just put it in the bag... on
And here is my confession: my favorite junk store (the Value Village in University Place/Tacoma) switched to all self-checkouts, and I don't like them. So, I walk up to one, act as if I am getting started, and then kick the little f@cker. More than once if necessary. And immediately a store employee comes running over and does the checking out for me.
I noticed at the grocery store I most often frequent that the self-checkout lines a longer than those manned by real humans. My guess is that they (the self-checkout lanes) are God's gift to introverts and those who just don't want to deal with people.
Can you choose not to have any kind of receipt? Here you usually need either the full receipt or a shorter one that just states the number of products you have - both have a barcode in order to get through the turnstile to leave again.
What if that was the funniest cr*p you would have seen all your life, tho.

I love how overly critical and judgy the comments are in this thread. The account was created SPECIFICALLY to get embarrassing things off your chest. Or things you're not supposed to be gloating about, but yet you do. These people KNOW there is something off or even plain wrong about what they just shared, or they wouldn't share on a page like this. I really enjoyed the posts in this thread, but hated the comments. This is seriously one of those threads that would benefit from a function to block the posting of comments under each contribution. I really don't think these posts were meant for us to take it and run with it.
+100 to this! I was thinking “did people forget the purpose of the twitter account/this post?”

Here's my confession: If an anti-vax Covid denier falls ill, I smile and say, "Oh, that's sad, would you like to sign up for this long Covid research project?" I used to try to help them. Now? They have destroyed millions of lives. So, yeah, here, try this weird combo of vitamins and prescriptions ----- you don't believe in vaccinations against Covid, but you'll take this cocktail of doom, sure, whatever, here's the paperwork, sign there, have fun if you get the placebo. And then I drink a cup of hot chocolate and wonder if I'm as big a b***h as Karma is, or if I'm just Karma's little helper, or if I'm going to hell. But after two years of those a--holes, I'm sticking to the first rule of medicine. I'll do no harm. That's all. F**k 'em. No, I'm not angry and bitter, why do you ask?/s/
Here's my confession. For seven years, I've been hiding the fact that my best friend is being abused and taken advantage of by her boyfriend. I've been hiding it because I know her boyfriend has a gun, and I know that he knows where I live, and I know that he keeps it loaded and cocked at all times, and I don't want to take even the slightest risk of her dying and possibly me dying as well.

Joke's on you #24: the queen was known for wearing brightly colored clothes.
I use to drive at least once a week through x highway. There is a 2 mile spot with a lot of motels (not the family type, but those for couples, outlying rates). Every time i drive by this part of the road, I honk and wave anybody who is entering or leaving , so they s**t their pants by thinking someone caught them cheating. If I’m not having sex, no one is! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
