What’s the secret you’re keeping right now?
Did your heart just stop at that question? We bet you can probably count up to a dozen memories or pieces of personal information that you don't want to share with other people. And that’s fair! Humankind has fought for privacy rights for years. We’re not here to learn about your secrets, but to show how 50 people got the burden off their backs with anonymous secret confessions.
As the professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College, David Ludden, Ph.D., points out, secrets can be psychologically damaging because the secret holder can't express what happened and discuss it with others. And as we’ve all experienced, talking about our problems and getting a second opinion can be a huge relief. But when it comes to secrets, we can’t share what happened and have the same approach. Actually, the idea that someone else might know our secret leads to sleepless nights.
Most of the time, you probably think of letting the cat out of the bag because it’s driving you crazy. Still, you can’t hand the power of blackmail or shame to family, friends, and strangers, so you prefer to take some secrets to the grave. But, that’s where the advantage of anonymity comes into play. Instead of confessing to priests and bartenders, try confessing sins anonymously online. Without further ado, we’ve found 50 anonymous secret confessions shared on Fesshole to help you realize that your secrets might not be that bad.

and ashamed that there are people that have to rely on the kindness of others for WiFi. Should be granted
Load More Replies...Yep in our Province, Gauteng, two of the cities have this in the centre of the city. Also, most schools have free wifi as well.
Load More Replies...that is so beautiful ♥ thank you for making some ones life so much better, in such a creative way.
Love your comment Sasy😍😍couldn't have said but better 💕
Load More Replies...This is one of the nicest things I've read in a long time. This is so kind of you.
On top of how heartbreaking it already is, how does everyone think, men don’t feel this at all???!
Sorry for your loss, and I don't even know if you will be able to read this, but how are YOU holding up?
Good God I thought that was going to end with "today my little man turned 18, can't wait to see his face as he reads the emails" but nooooooo (onions)
Good for you. He was alive. You are normal and dealing with worst possible ... keep on!
That devastated me reading that. My husband once asked me why the boys birth certificate said quintuplets. It took me months to finally tell him why. Three boys and a girl. Around 18 months or so, due to fall out from Chernobyl and severe complications to tasachs disease, we lost her. This is maybe the 4th time I openly talked about this. It's amazing on how everyone is quick to comfort the mother and just as quickly dismiß the father
Anonymous Confession Stories Bringing “Sinners” Together
Maybe you committed a petty crime and got away with it. Maybe you had a regrettable one-night stand, or you did something shameful in your student life. Or maybe it's not that extreme. Some people hide their views on political and religious views, especially when they believe no one else will agree with them. Some do not reveal their finances too, whether they have a lot more or a lot less than others think. For whatever the reason, every person in the world hides a secret. The group of people craving for a way out to spill the tea are much more than the easygoing poker faces we see daily.
Fesshole is the place that might do the trick in making you feel safe and still express what’s killing you inside—hilarious stories or not. With hundreds of thousands of followers, it offers everyone who wants to confess a Google form to keep their anonymity and many, many sets of ears, so they know their confession is heard. It might not bring you salvation, but if there's a chance for peace of mind, why not take it?
And we at Bored Panda are seekers of peace of mind. Hence we want to help everyone turn the page on a mistake they’re the only ones to know about. Sharing secrets anonymously is the core value in Fesshole. Thus, we got in contact with the person behind Fesshole, Rob to give us more insights about this impactful digital platform.
Rob told Bored Panda, "It came about after chatting to my mate Chris and he was moaning about the old internet and how you could post a complaint about your job or your life on a web forum, and nothing went viral and the only people who read were internet nerds. You didn't get sacked." Now, the situation is quite different. If you vent online about your crazy boss, chances are it might go viral enough for your story to reach them as well.
Disagree because I know a lot of people that accidentally react. Or they are older and don’t understand what the emojis mean. Maybe do this for people that comment but just because they laugh reacted is a bit much…
Load More Replies...I have a mother who is technologically inept, who will use inappropriate reaction emojis on occasion, by mistake, so I'd not report someone for the emoji reaction. Hard to mistakenly make a racist comment, though.
I agree totally. Based on just a reaction is a bit much
Load More Replies...Yeah, I don't like this. Self appointed vigilantes messing with people's livelihoods isn't something I think is ok, especially over emojis of all things. Maybe if we had UBI (here in the US), and your job wasn't tied to your very survival, ok. But nobody deserves to be on the street or suffer from lack of health insurance over an emoji. Come on, guys! If you ever looked into the Amy Cooper in the dog park story, you realize the story was not as neat and clean as the media made it out to be. Her life was destroyed, because the media decided to make it the world's business and leave out tons of details. Let's become wise thinkers and leave others to their own karma. Go outside and spend time with family instead of trolling websites for other trolls.
She was a racist and an animal abuser, how does she not deserve everything that came to her
Load More Replies...Did I understand correctly... You report them to their employer as RACISTS, because they made an lol smiley on a story which involves immigrants, 100% sure that lol means a racist river of swears and slurs???
I upvoted this but you make a very good point.
Load More Replies...So that means it is ok to cause someone to lose their source of income because what you perceive to be racist because of one or two racist type articles. Wow no wonder this country is going to hell.
Not to mention possibly taking a job who's family depends on it.....what did little 5 year old Timmy and his pregnant mom do...modern day vigilantes can be very zealous with absolutely no wisdom at all
Load More Replies...But how would you know what they're laughing about? I can understand a rude, belligerent comment. But over an emoji with no other context? Really? I hope their employers brush off your reports.
And I would like to add immigrants are from all nations, regardless of skin colour, gender, race, culture, religion. Are you even reading the stories people are reacting to?
Load More Replies...What a mean move. They laid eggs as long as they could and deserved their life-long stay.
To me, if this was how we had to compromise, I would most likely leave. Like wtf. As long as you take care of the pet most the time, you should be allowed to have as many as you can afford and is good and well for the animals.
Differing views don't mean you walk away from a marriage. That's lazy and cowardly.
Load More Replies...Firstly, you should just tell her, 'I'm not getting rid of my chickens just because they got old. They can retire here!'. Secondly, if this is in the UK, shop bought eggs have a stamp on them with the farm ID and best before date. If she's ever used one of the eggs herself, she knows!
But they don't in Ireland. It could be a Lidl in Ireland.
Load More Replies...Nice. Chickens deserve respect for their hard work, especially following their "henopause".
I am sorry for your wife if she sees them as just egg-laying machines. I have four hens and I appreciate how intelligent and full of character they are.
They really are great pets. Each with their own little personality and many like to be held and petted
Load More Replies...Thanks, this was my first thought but you said it better.
Load More Replies...I can relate to both sides of this story. When we first got hens, I had fully intended that they'd go into the stewing pot when they were spent. By the time they'd gotten to that point, though - about 3 years later - there was no way we were going to eat Lucky, Daisy, Jim, or Pumpkin. Since then, all our hens have lived out full, natural lives while free-ranging in our yard.
The Fesshole Project
Anyway, Rob and Chris continued with their conversation, and they "got to talk about how semi-anonymity through obscurity was a good thing in many ways."
"So I thought I'd make a place where it's free for Chris to moan and even if it did go viral, it wasn't going to ruin his job or his life because his name is not on," the man running the project explained its origins.
Rob keeps a record of how many people submit their confessions and it's about 150-180 per week.
even better that no one has given up the secret code
Load More Replies...At my old job, I noticed that the bilingual 'don't throw garbage on the floor' sign in the bathrooms in English/Spanish. On the Spanish side only, it instructed the president of the company BY FIRST NAME not to throw garbage on the floor XD
That would seem to be rather obviously not the same, even if you don't speak spanish??
Load More Replies...Love it! I've lived in Wales for 28 years. I can't speak more than a few words. But it is important to have everything in both languages as this country is bi-lingual.
I once convinced my manager SWALK was like the business equivalent of RSVP and got her to SWALK all the important business letters she sent out
That's perfect and an entirely appropriate thing to see in Welsh. Here be dragons is an ancient missive that was placed on maps to typically advise that certain parts of the world wss not yet mapped the English had not mapped most of Scotland and Ireland so it was on a lot of their old maps.
I thought i was the only one who held memories of people by their scents😄treasure that special bond,you can never be too old for your parents❤
At this moment we are emptying the house of my deceased grandmother and yesterday it was the bathroom , I recovered an old brush made of boar hair that I have always known for 45 years; my mother took all the others and planned to wash them before giving them. I will keep mine preciously and never wash it because it has such a peculiar smell and instantly carries me through time on his knees , my head on his shoulder hugging
I totally get this. My Mom passed in 2001. I was going through some old stuff and found mom's overnight suitcase. She used this for all her toiletries. I opened it and the smell instantly caused me to break down in tears. It was like my mom was right there with me. It smelled of her perfume. I still have the case. Don't think I will ever be able to part with any of it.
I lost my mom 12-3-21. I can't tell you how true this is. I still hug the quilts she made or kept because it smells like her and It feels like I am hugging her. I am now sobbing. Just know this post hits close to home.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Marla! It's been 5 years now for my mom and 7 for my dad and I still grab and hold tight to the items I can hug that make me feel like their arms around me. Sending you love!

My mother used a very specific perfume. When she passed away, I took her favorite silk scarf and triple wrapped it in baggies. I open it every once in a while just to remember. She passed away in 1975 and the smell is still there. Faint, but there. I still miss you, mom.
Hahaha this is the sort of thing I would do. Hats of to the wife for being in on it.
There was an auto shop teacher at my high school who wore the same clothes for his yearbook picture every single year for over 30 years.

The Selection Process of Funny Confessions
Rob doesn't overthink the process of which ones to feature on the account. “[My choices are] based on scrolling down the list and reading and picking out the ones that I think will work. Funny or interesting, really,” he said. “Or my judgment of what I think the world will find funny or interesting.”
When you look at it, Rob’s content selection method is kinda meta. “I think scrolling down whilst picking echoes how people read Twitter, just hunting for that interesting bit,” he pointed out. “So this is Twitter, where I’ve pre-chewed the meat.”
But with so many submissions, running the account requires a fair share of time and effort. “I’m in and out of the spreadsheet (whilst doing other stuff, too) all day and every day. That means I’ve read over 3 million words (3,178,532) simply picking the confessions.
Well they banned smoking in doors due to health risk of others. If you want to.come inside, you should have a vaccine to protect others.
Load More Replies...That's really not fair. Some people can't get vaccinated for health reasons...
True I have a nephew that cant but He has s to carry a Doctors verification and be tested every 2 weeks and carry his negative status with him! He has no complaints!
Load More Replies...My mom got blood clots from the covid vaccine.. so I'm a nutter then because I refuse to get the vaccine out of real legitimate fear for my health and well being? Why is your view of me so low?
Yes? I get that you're afraid. I don't want to downplay that. Your fear is real. It's a scary time for a lot of us. However, every reputable scientific study has found that the risks from COVID are greater than the risk of and from blood clots. Talk to your doctor. If they say not to get the vaccine, don't. Apply for whatever job you want and ask for a medical exemption. (In the U.S., you can probably cite ADA accommodations.) Without your doctor literally telling you not to get vaccinated though, yeah. Your fear is legitimate. But it's not rational.
Load More Replies...There's a difference between being anti-vax and being anti covid vaccine. Most anti-vaxxers are genuine nutters but anybody that's mentally competent can come to the correct conclusion that the hysteria surrounding covid and the level of response to it is completely disproportionate to the danger posed.
Love this!! I run a business and just last week some Yahoo pulls in with F**k Trudeau flags and stickers all over his truck! (I live in Canada for those of you that don't know, Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister) I am all for freedom of speech and expression but come on. I'm willing to bet he's never stepped foot in a poll booth in his life. So anyways the guy comes in completes his business, leaves and comes back less than a minute later and hands me a stack of newspapers not just any old newspapers, these were conspiracy theorists papers (can't remember the name, started with a D) anyways he says I brought these for you I thought you might be interested in there content. I have never been so offended in my life. Time to evaluate my life if I'm giving off these type of vibes!!!
You are a lovely person, you we either raised with compassion or just have a natural affinity for it!
Load More Replies...My nephew used to work as a guard at a nursing home. He knew most of them and felt really bad when COVID lockdowns prevented them from seeing family and friends. He set up letter-writing campaigns for them. So many of us sent cards after cards and letters to them. He said it brightened up the morale in that home!
If we all did a little bit more of this, then the world would be a wonderful and magical place in which to live.
I feel the same notion. Although the intent is good, unintentionally this can place some serious psychological hazards. If she's talking about these people her neighbour made up for her to her family and friends they may start to think it's Alzheimer's or Dementia when she doesn't have either. It would be better if the neighbour just invited her over for special occasions.
Load More Replies...Would like to have such neighbours....not the idiots practising guitar at 12am that I have
Load More Replies...Come on. My best neighbour about 20 years ago was a 80 yo former firefighter... He watch over me when I slepped after a nightwatch. Make other be quiet. Made the best G&T and I always got in before sleep after nightwatch to sit down with him... Friendsship doesn't have age. ❤
You have a best mate, and him being older just means he has great storys
Not sure OP is worrying bc of the age difference per se, but maybe bc it is likely that he'll lose his best mate to old age sooner.
Pretty sure he's "worrying" about age difference. But it's also a light hearted comment, so doubt he's actually worried.
Load More Replies...Think of them as a highly cool uncle and aunt. One of my favorites pairs of uncles and aunts were not related to me by either blood or marriage. Family sometimes just happens.
Rob said his followers engage with stories that revolve around workplace stuff and anonymous sex confessions, but mostly, they seek to read about confessions revealing human condition.
“So much online is now stuck in a terrible culture war and trying to push you this way and that way, but Fesshole is (I hope) slightly outside this and saying there is another world we can exist in, even if it is just for 5 minutes, one where we just laugh about what it is to be alive. Or feel a bit guilty about laughing,” he explained, adding that all Bored Panda readers are welcome to follow the account.

Load More Replies...We need to take a moment and think...........................What has gone wrong with western culture, people with full time jobs can't afford to live. Some people have to choose food over heating, cloths over rent. We are doing something very wrong.
No that is just in america, and very low income countries like in sub-saharan africa etc. In most countries in the northern hemisphere this is a particularly american thing. It is a result of the doctrine of american exceptionalism, "rugged individualism", and "free will". As long as people keep believing that all men are islands and must pull themselves up by their bootstraps, the problem will persist.
Load More Replies...I'd stop buying his groceries or doing shopping for him and tell him "there's no need, it stops you from learning how to help yourself. pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
I hope tour parents are already dead and don't have to deal with such an ungrateful POS like you anymore...
Load More Replies...Tell your dad it’s the hallmark of a truly advanced civilization that they take good care of their smaller and weaker. Tell him it has been discovered that even Neanderthals looked after their old, injured, and infirm, and when those individuals died, they were buried with care and love. Tell him his attitude makes him less civilized than a Neanderthal.
Food banks "stop people from helping themselves"? Like, he'd rather they steal??
Tory is a compliment. Just because you're not intelligent enough to process issues with depth and rationality doesn't mean that people that are are evil.
Load More Replies...Hold on a moment.... This guy thinks people should rely on themselves but has his kid go out to do his shopping for him? OK, hypocrite.
the POS son is probably mooching on his old man. besides, his father raised him, loved him and paid for his education, why should he do anything for him, right?? much better to help crackheads he's never met in his life...
Load More Replies...Just tell her, she will love that you create beautiful items for the baby.
Just keep a secret because secrets inside relationships are healthy if they’re secret knitting. Or crocheting. Maybe other crafts too. But knitting by all means.
Load More Replies...I was knitting in a doctors waiting room while I waited to see the doctor (male, 50s, v posh). It was the first day of a new system and it kept crashing so the Dr was running very late (like 2 hrs late). I thought it was great as it just gave me extra knitting time. When he came to show me to his office he saw me knitting and commented on the difference between my perspective compared to the other patients who were all up in arms about the delay. He told me he had been taught to knit at school, which was an all male private school and what a useful skill it had been. Own your knitting, we need more male knitters!
i used to love knitting, but it messed my hands up too much, had to stop. oh well :)

You didn't leave him behind. He's right there. On your shoulder. I see him.
A good friend of mine (he was my brother's best friend) was violently murdered less than 10 days after he graduated from high school. Over 40 years later, I still leave flowers on his grave on his birthday and the anniversary of his death. For years, nobody knew I did this, but about 15 years ago, one of his sisters saw me leaving the cemetery, and called my mom to thank me (she didn't know how to get ahold of me, but had my mom's contact info). Until then, not even my wife knew I was doing it. I miss Robert.
It is really hard to leave friends behind like that. And I don't think you ever stop missing that connection
I lost the love of my life to suicide in 2005. He was 24 years old when he took his life and I've carried him with me everywhere I go. I keep our prom picture in a frame that says "forever young" on it in my bedroom where I see him when I go to sleep and when I wake up. I loved him with all I had and still do. He'll ALWAYS be with me.
When we were seniors in high school, a friend was killed in a plane crash. She will forever be 17 in my mind laughing in the cafeteria, which is the last time I talked to her.
My friend died when we were 14 too. It's been almost 5 years. I still miss her. I see photos, and she looks so young. I grew up. She didn't. That will always hurt. She never even got to graduate middle school. And now, I'm about to graduate highschool in a year. I still miss her.
I feel this so much. My sister died in 2013. She was 46 and five years older than me. It felt so wrong when I passed her age and it still does. She was my big sister.
I want a dog, but my health issues will prevent me from taking proper care of it. I don't want a support dog or anything like that, but a friend to snuggle when everyone has gone out, and I'm alone. Someone to talk to. I wouldn't be able to walk it or clean up after it, and I would not be able to give it a bath or even play fetch or teach it tricks. So if you have a dog, give it a snuggle from me and a treat. Tell them I said good boy/girl. Thanks
Sending virtual hugs! You should get a cat. There's automatic litter boxes, feeders, & water dishes available, and a cat can be the best snuggle buddy ever.
Load More Replies...I’m an animal person, I just love ‘em. I am however more of a cat person, never owned or spent time around dogs. Met my partner 3 years ago and she’s got two rescue dogs, Betty a French Bulldog who was a puppy farm b***h and treated horrifically & Bruce a whippet / staffy cross who’s background is unknown. Both dumb as rocks but loyal to a fault. I can’t get enough of them, their unbridled joy when you arrive, sitting with them and just enjoying the companionship, a proper pair of loons but they spread unconditional happiness. My attempts to advance their training has been a wonderful journey, two steps forward, one step back, one more back, a couple forward, then a run around the park and back to where they started, maybe a step forward after that and then hide in the dog bed. Love ‘em and their owner btw 😀.
My dad became a cat-parent for the first time at the age of 90. I love hearing him talk about her. 😊
I'm working on my husband to get a dog. I grew up on a farm with all kinds of dogs & cats thru the years, & he never had a single pet until I moved in with him & brought my cat. My cat leveled up to her next life 2 years ago, and I really want a dog. Husband keeps bugging me to get out & walk every day & I told him I would go out twice a day if I had a small dog!
Please get one before age stops you (as it did with me) to be able to care for it.

Memories are forever! Sorry for your loss. Glad you can still laugh at the conversations.
With deep memories you can come face to face with the one being remembered. The spirit if the person is everywhere especially in you!
Load More Replies...My friend was having a hilarious FB conversation on his wall, puns and all. I commented "I will print out this conversation and frame it". He replied, "do it". I did it. I lost him in 2014, and a couple of years later, FB removed his profile for no reason. I lost all those memories, except this silly print that still sits framed on my window sill. Still dang funny!
My friend and I played in bands together so we have lots of footage of us messing around and just being idiots, which I'm very thankful for. I get drunk and get all weepy at 3am sometimes.
Old lady here. Could someone please explain the fancy whodads and the whirlybits like I'm your granny? I don't understand. Thanks in advance.
Her phone unlocks the screen by recognizing her face. By setting it to do the same with the baby's face he's convinced her the phone thinks the baby looks like her
Load More Replies...My husband and I look nothing alike. he is a fair blond with shocking blue eyes. I'm dark w dark hair and eyes. My kids all look exactly like my hubs. I love it, especially with my sons. It makes me think of how my husband wld have looked when he himself was five or ten or in the awkward years.
Hopefully your wife isn't dumb enough to actually believe this. There's nil chance the phone could legitimately mistake a toddler's face for a grown woman's over and over and over.
Yeah, that's one reason I'm not a big fan of this one.
Load More Replies...His face may alter as he grows. Mine sure did. Now she looks more like her grandma than her parents.
They usually change appearance later on. Two of my three kids looked like their dad at first, one of them for a couple years. And yeah, of course you want your kid to resemble you at least a little bit. You carried them for 9 months, gave birth and breastfed and compared to the dads contribution in that process... well. That's why you never say to a mother that the kid "looks just like dad" (especially a new mom).
This is such a sweet idea. For now. Give that little bugger a few more months and he'll be ordering stuff online. Surprise!
Everything is relative. We're all poor suckers for Jeff Bezos and the likes, we're all incredibly rich to fugitives who had to leave everything behind.
Being rich is today is being able to live. If you can pay your bills, mortgage. fix your stuff when it breaks and have a few beer with your mates, you are in the top 10%

Tube is train? I know some train personell are really only mandatory for emergencies, but 99,9% the train does everything automatically. Or so i have heard?
The Tube is probably the underground subway in London. And it depends on the country & city. Some are fully automated & may have one employee on board for basic oversight & emergencies. Some have actual driver operators.

That’s not unusual. Hobbies that may seem boring to us in our youth, sometimes become great hobbies as we get older. I just feel bad for you, because you can’t share those with your dad.
Mine loved doing jigsaws, now I've taken it up and I see why he enjoyed it. A few times though a piece seems to have gone missing only to turn up a few days later, I'm convinced it's him messing around from the beyond.
Maybe you are, just in a different way. Sometimes these hobbies are best enjoyed singular, so maybe you understand him better now. That is a gift.

Load More Replies...1/2 My mom died of cancer in 2005. I spent so much time dealing with everyone else's broken hearts that I sealed my emotions up and ended up in therapy with borderline mental breakdowns. For a few years I saw the therapist, they were amazingly helpful, until I went in one day feeling fine. The night before, I had dreamed of a long straight beach with calm blue seas with small ripple like waves rolling up the beach a small way. Light blue skies, warm sun and a light breeze. Behind me were sand dunes and reeds. All of this was as far as the eye could see. In front of me was a bistro style patio set in black metal with a white parasol and a silver tea set... and my mom. We talked about how much I missed her. How the family is doing. Put a few of the world's problems right and drank tea and coffee from the same pot. Strange, but so what, it's a dream. My therapist says my subconscious recreated my mom from every single memory I have of her and basically brought her to life in my dreams.
2/2 I still dream about her to this very day, and when my family found out they began to ask me to pass on messages to her and ask for her advice. I know it's just a memory created out of grief, but it has helped a lot with my mental health. I have depression and anxiety, and she always says the right things to keep me from spiralling out of control. Oh, and she hates me calling her Mom AI 2.0. Makes her laugh though

The night my wife and I brought our son home, he was having trouble getting used to the new surroundings and was not wanting to sleep. Wound up his mobile and let it play. As the mobile wound down, I distinctly heard a man playing a guitar and knew that my father had come to sing his grandson a lullaby.
The grown-up equivalent of grabbing onto "mummy's" leg or trolley and looking up to realise it's not her.
In my twenties my GF 23 and mother 41 used to share cloths one day we where out walking and I slapped her ass!! In my defence they where very similar build, height, hair, and could easily pass as sisters.
My dad wears red converse. While at the homodepot, I wandered a bit, but keeping an eye on those red shoes. I followed the shoes around the corner and began asking my dad a question. He didn't respond so I looked at him and in complete shock, I said you're not my dad. He pointed to my left, there stood my dad looking at me like a fool I was. I was 37 when that happened.
Once spotted a roommate who had a “unique” hairstyle standing at an ATM. Snuck up behind him, slipped my arms around and covered his eyes while whispering gently in his ear “guess who”. Complete stranger turned around. Cue stuttering apology starting with “YOU AREN’T ROOMMATE’S NAME!” Yea, I did good 🙈
I've slapped the wrong ladies bum which was pretty horrifying, but somehow slipping your hand into someone elses is far more intimate & cringy 😬
This happened to me years ago at an ice cream kiosk on the beach - a girl of about 12 or so appears by my side and grabs my hand, I look round and she looks mortified to realize I am not her dad. I just smile and go "Oh hello, dear." and she snatches her hand away and goes "I'm SOOO sorry!" I'm sorry." and just kind of runs off. After I get my ice cream I turn around and the kid is there with her dad - we look almost identical except for I don't have glasses. We just look at each other and start laughing, the girl is covering her face with embarrassment.
My SO once slapped my butt really hard at a party.... Except... It just so happened to be a complete stranger hahaha

Aw. Spiders are our friends. Not all spiders can survive outdoors any time of year. It's good to know which house spiders are common to your area. Some will die if you put them outside. House spiders are a good thing, because if you have spiders, it already means you have bugs
Yeah, my mom is afraid of spiders and tells us to kill them if we see them. In the summer I put them outside. If it's too cold I put them in a closet or a room we don't use often
Load More Replies...On this one it depends on the brand. If it's a widow, unfortunately best option is to squish unless you want to suffer and die miserably. In our country (SA) we have three or four types of spiders you often see in houses: jumping; rain/wolf; sac; and these really tiny ones on window ledges which never get bigger than 1.5mm. I have no idea what the latter are called. Jumping and wolf/rain are good because they catch bugs - particularly mosquitos. Sac however are dangerous and lurk in fabric folds. So ideally you want to know what you are dealing with. In general if it is in a web, get rid of it, if it is walking around, it's fine.
Jumping spiders are seriously the best, they're little fluffballs who are smart and can learn tricks. They keep away bad bugs and even wear raindrops as hats sometimes to attract mates. They're awesome!!!

Most people can't tell the difference between good liquor and low quality booze - especially true for vodka. The name on the bottle means a lot more than what's inside.

I once knew this young man, he must have been around 26years old at the time. And he told me he got drunk in one night, managed to get home, put his key into the door and that’s it. He woke up a few hours later when his mom opened the door (from the inside), because she was leaving to work and he fell inside while she was opening the door.
Once I got too drunk and woke up and started getting ready for work. Shower, did me hair, brushed teeth and all. I felt like crap but I was convinced I was just hungover. I finally looked at a clock and it was 2 am. I had somehow convinced myself that my 730 am alarm went off. It felt amazing going back to bed.

Load More Replies...I used to work in customer service at a well known large bank in western PA. I found out quickly that their process for overdraft charges and refunds was borderline criminal. They would charge OD fees when a customer's account said they had plenty of $$ (awful internal processing system) but if you want and OD fee it was random, didn't matter if it's the 1st or 50th time. I hated this so when people would call and ask for refunds and were nice I'd go back as far as I could (6ish months) and select all possible OD charges and try to refund them. Oh you want that $38 so you can buy food today? Sorry, I can't do $38, how's $266 sound?? The happy tears got me through the day. That bank was a crook and ended up with a class action suit over their OD policies. Screw them.
when I travelled frequently as part of my job, quite often the ladies at check-in at Geneva airport upgraded me to business class on European flights. That felt like heaven.
I believe I've been on the receiving end of this same thoughtfulness when I've not been charged for something, or gotten more than I was asking for. That's why I know to do the same for other nice folks.
I've thought so too for a second and then I remembered my friend who shares the apartment with 2 dudes and really is trying to establish a cleaning schedule. She can't financially afford to move out plus she has a chronic illness. Whenever I visit her I witness stuff like he wants to make pancakes, drops flour on the inner side of the washing machine door (front opener) and leaves it there. The option to remind him cleaning wore out bc she doesn't wanna (micro-)manage him. Even his mom one day said to her with a smirk she is glad he moved out bc he is such an irresponsible mess. And the amount of frustration and tears...we would have no regrets pulling that prank on him. Peeps, if you sign up for living with other ppl then you should also face the responsibility accordingly.

He also called his mother, to come to pick him up, since the buses ran only twice an hour. His mother comes pick him up 20 minutes later, before the bus comes. The boy starts to run across the road to mothers car, and because there is a car coming I grab the boys hood so he doesn’t get hit by it.

The rescue squad had been called by then and the article in the paper the next day said "Fire Department saves two children stranded on a breakwater". He didn't care. Not that kind of guy. But I wrote to the paper and let them know who really saved the kids. They printed a nice article about him.

Heart was in the right place BUT for you it was probably not as bad as how humiliating it was for him. I bet it happens all the time so I'm not surprised he was angry.
PSA - if you see short folks in public, don't tell them how young they look. It's difficult enough to be taken seriously without people saying these 'compliments'.
well also when you breathe you inhale atoms that belonged to someone...
Load More Replies...I knew someone who was like this, but stole it from their mom I was staring at the ground for ages, and never found a dime. And she kept finding tenners and twenties. She told me somewhen and I was honestly shocked, as from the outside she was a lovely person. But boy, the more you knew her, the more disgusting you realized she was...
Doubt if any sane mother would allow a kid to buy for £20 worth of sweets.
Doubt if random guy on internet knows the facts of a story about someone he's never met. NO doubt random guy on internet is pompous enough to think so, though.
Load More Replies...I have this so often. I grew up with a always angry or mocking dad so I got used to hiding almost anything I do. I keep closing tabs or the phone now when my partner is around. Even when he would never mock me for being in BP or whatever. One of this days he is going to check my phone expecting a lover and find out that I am watching cat videos.
I used to watch the soaps on TV. Imperial leather wobbled a fair bit, but Palmolive tended to melt from the TVs heat
But did any of them start singing in a particularly over-the-top warbly voice?
Load More Replies...So uh, in this case, do you say something to her? My spouse and I have things that we don't like to watch together, but we communicate about it. I'm one of those people who likes to repeat a song to death, and that's what headphones are for. Talk it out!!
Seems like this series is going to end because people who are already feeling down because of Brexit and Covid, can't stand watching the ongoing drama anymore.
they still watch reality shows though, but I think you are right
Load More Replies...My wife loves the soaps so I leave her to it and go and do something else, there is always another option mate.
Wonder if my husband feels the same when I marathon Coronation Street every Sunday
so sorry you signed a contract having to do this. Oh wait, you didn't! Just talk about it and do something else. I knit while we watch his boom splat show. Or I'm wearing headphones and listen to something else. Or I'm in my art room doing my own thing.
I would have walked out as soon as it became obvious that I was being exploited... and then done the cards thing
Get hold of his home address, send an anonymous tip to the police and tell them he is a terrorist / drug dealer / pedophile.
Filing a false police report is a crime. As funny as it would be, it's dangerous
Load More Replies...This gets me too. And breadcrumbs in the butter after spreading it on toast!
i agree that crumby butter is unfortunate, but much harder to avoid. honestly curious what strategies other people use
Load More Replies...I have a worse one. Former partner used to eat with a spoon - whatever - soup, stew, yoghurt, etc. - then put it back in the fridge. She wondered why stuff started to go "off" so quickly. I explained but she never stopped. If I saw her reaching for a spoon I'd be like, uh-uh-uhhh... here's a clean bowl, decant.
You'd have to be careful to check none of the bets had odds that could return more than your take or you could be well out of pocket (or in deep doo-doo).
I assume the guy kept track of the bets and became the bookie himself. The house always wins so he kept the profit instad of the original bookie.
Load More Replies...You thought you were being clever but you just don't know English slang. Also bookie is a very common term in every English speaking country.
Load More Replies...My pacemaker used to keep setting off the alarms in supermarkets and clothing stores. They had to tune out my frequency by getting me to stand in the scanner area and fiddle with a laptop until it stopped detecting it. Shopping has got so boring now
When we get pacemakers now, we're advised to avoid those scanners as they can potentially interfere with the pacemaker.
Load More Replies...Why are commenters assuming it’s a man? Anybody could be a **** and have a ‘prankster’ personality. I hate pranks. I’m not applauding them.
Load More Replies...My purse sets off store alarms ON THE WAY IN. It's happy to let me leave though.
My friend and I spent many happy hours "cooking" alphabetti in warm squash over a pretend campfire when we were kids. And eating it.
We would "cook" apples under the warm dryer vent. They tasted delicious
Load More Replies...Acceptable, entirely acceptable. I hope you gave them a hard stare as they were leaving!
If it's important enough to you, it's not only valid, but it's only fair to the other person. Don't waste more of their time because you pity them!
british kids' story about a bear. Not winnie the pooh, but similar.
Load More Replies...I once dumped someone because I didn't like her neck. There wasn't really anything wrong with it, I just couldn't stop looking at it when she was talking and it annoyed me. We all have something that doesn't make sense!
i was making baked beans one time and cutting up the salt pork when i saw this "growth" and was horrified. Took a sec before i realized what it was. just hadn't occurred to me before. totally should have, as my family have a tradition of cooking whole pigs on a spit and i've helped prepare them dozens of times. somehow the little sealed pack of salt pork was a different thing in my mind.
My butcher told me he had some nice belly pork in so I got some for a dinner - nearly puked when I saw it had a row of nipples on 🤢
I call this BS. You can't just put for sale anything out of the blue in a shop. If that item never was listed for sale in that shop, it doesn't appear with a price in the cashier-program, the cashier can't book it. That's the practical part. On the other hand, it's highly illegal.
Yes you can, you just wrap it up and price it whatever you want
Load More Replies...I LOVE being the one to tell this to little kids. It always blows their minds.
as long as you pause just before it blows the guy away, it's ok. If you let it run, that's not cool.

you're a lousy person. Lazy too. My cat needs medication every day. Indoor cat but might escape.
I love that this lazy act of animal cruelty has Minus 16 votes. I'd do the same with a down vote . A trapped living creature is completely dependent on you to take two minutes out of your life to check. They could have got desperate enough to eat or drink something unsafe to deadly for them. I hope like hell you've learnt from this
@sshole move. Admit your fault, apologize and make up or find out that in 10 years time your daughter has moved on and left you behind.
She knows she did. And that parent is a total wanker.
Load More Replies...Apologising to her could have been a more teachable moment. She would have gained a lot of respect for you in there.
Wow! When ever I make this kind of mistake, I always own up and apologize.
Kids, even grumpy teenagers, learn how to act from their Parents/older family/teachers, if you 'fess up now about this not-so-important matter it's more likely she'll be honest with you when something big comes up in her life.
Yea same. Dear God what the hell is wrong with people?!
Load More Replies...Idk whether it was Stephen Fry or John Cleese who said that American humor is different in the sense that it contains no self-irony whatsoever, because Americans can't laugh at themselves. Some posts were clearly misunderstood and met with puritan moral outrage for that reason, LOL!!
I'm American and can't think of anything funnier or weirder than I am.
Load More Replies...These are confessions. I don't understand why people are are upset that people are confessing doing bad things.
I thing people are upset because they're being reminded that people are horrible.

Another wrongly named post. Nothing to do with sins, mainly just tales of good deeds. Hopefully this is BPs fault and not just humble braggers taking over a platform meant for real confessions

These aren't sins. Some are heartbreaking, some are hilarious and some are sweet. However, I don't like the one where the person uses Tinder to get the roommate to clean up. That's just horrible.
A little bit of wholesomeness, a little bit of disturbing and disgusting, and a lot of revenge. TIL that some things are best kept to yourself.
I use to drive by this road full of motels (in my country, motels aren’t just cheap hotels, but are meant just for sex, most of the time not with your partner), so, every time I see a couple in a car entering or leaving one of these motels, I honk and wave them as I knew them. I can smell the fear our if them of being caught “in fraganti “ 😂😂😂😂
