“My ex wife. One morning, she decided to convince me to commit suicide. She claims, now, that she spent the entire morning trying to keep me from hurting myself.”

"More info came out and the investigation found this wasn't the first time he had done so. When the police interrogated him he said "It's just sex," as if pedophilia was as common and accepted as McDonald's is. He was successfully convicted and sent to jail for his sex crimes." — Psikitten

"He took her off property in his car, under the guise that they were going to the other side of the of the property. Driving to the other side was not uncommon because the property was huge, and required you to leave the property and reenter at another gate. I’ve definitely ridden with others, so not exactly weird. Then he went the opposite direction. She asked where they were going, and he said it was because they needed to pick something up for work. She said she’d rather walk, and he just said it would only be a minute. She got out of the car at a stoplight and ran.He got fired. No one knows what he would have done to her if she didn’t run. Maybe we were right? We’ll never know." — the-hound-abides

"We loaded up his stuff as quickly as possible so we could get out of his presence. I remember seeing a piece in the local paper about his orchard, and of course the picture of him was of him smiling in a flannel shirt with his wife like they were the ones that picked all the apples. Dude was considered a pillar of the community. But he's a modern day slave driver and an evil son of a bitch. This was years ago around 2017, and he was old then. If justice exists he's dead and in hell by now." — driku12

"During COVID, we would take turns going to the office, and one day I realized I lost a mask that my dad's wife had made me. Months later we were both at the office, and he was using the mask?!?! I asked him where he got the mask and he said he bought it... impossible since my dad's wife made it. Soon after he quit, I was going through things on his former work computer, and found that he was keeping a folder with a list of different employees' names. There was stuff about me on there, like he was keeping tabs on all of us? He tried getting together a couple times after he left the company, but I eventually just blocked his number. To this day I think he was a sociopath." — ominous-canadian

"I encountered someone like that when I worked in a bar. I've met plenty of nasty, dangerous people, some of who I had to throw out. But this guy was something else. He was like a shark swimming past me. He was well behaved though." — im_dead_sirius

"I briefly worked for an HOA and it was fascinating to see how having power even in a tiny domain can turn people into monsters. There were shouting matches over paint colors. Anonymous leaflets distributed. I had both sides coming to me to complain about each other (I was a sort of secretary). One resident was director Cameron Crowe's mother, so she thought that she was queen fuck of shit mountain. There was a long-running and unresolved conflict over termites: whether to use tent/gas or electric shocks to exterminate the termites. Crowe was pro-electric, while the HOA president was pro-gas." — Stirdaddy

"Even my mum thought she was so sweet that she made me shop for and give her a baby present before she went on maternity leave. So, what happened to this psychopath? No idea, I've Googled her and it's like she never existed. The lovely teacher who genuinely saved my life on the other hand? She died of breast cancer three years later. I didn't remember any of what she did for me (joys of DID) until last year, so I never even got to thank her. The world's a cruel place." —Silent-Zebra

"He would taunt me silently. It was like, “I know you see me for who I really am, but nobody would ever believe you.” He was right. Most people didn’t until it was too late. She is okay. They broke up decades ago and he died in 2023. She went through hell with him though." — AnnoyedHotdog
