“I have never and will never reveal this to my brother and his wife. They are still together and happy as far as I can tell, and I hope it stays that way...” Some responses were also sourced from this thread. "This guy liked glass bottles, vases, etc., pretty much anything that was made of glass. They just kept laughing as soon as he was discharged. I had been in a hit-and-run accident, so I had a neck brace on and could only stare at the ceiling, but I was present when they were extracting the glass. I was 20 years old then; I'm almost 38 now, and I'll never forget it..." "Then a car came flying out of the parking lot, and my cousin said, 'That must be the husband.' Until we graduated high school, we would end any bad news with 'While I was at church.'" "I only didn't crap myself thanks to a careful balance of panic and rage." My buddies and I were just stunned, and we all said, 'Uhhhhh, congratulations.'" "Then one guy kept putting his eye up to the camera; no one knew why, but it got a lot of people's attention just in time to see this 50-something woman topless (some swear fully nude) on camera — it took a long time to repress that image. A few weeks later, they moved her desk to a new area." "My uncle is alive and well, and they’re still married." "She laughed and said, 'You know why, right?' And when I told her I didn't, she explained that he had been trying to get with her — she even showed me the receipts of the explicit messages he was sending to her. She believed him to be single until one day I asked him something along the lines of, 'How is your fiancé doing?' in front of her. I legitimately had no idea, I was just making polite conversation. "I was stunned by how incredibly crappy that is. Imagine taking money from one man that is meant for your own kid, and then giving it to your POS new boyfriend so that he can pay his child support — the guy is paying for someone else's kid while his own kid is neglected (financially). If I knew the people, I would tell the first guy for sure." "Bro literally tried to hook his roommate up with his mom." "I have never and will never reveal this to my brother and his wife. They are still together and happy as far as I can tell, and I hope it stays that way." "These older ladies are wild without their filter." "My friend and I just sat there wide-eyed and kept shooting each other reactive looks. When we got up to leave, I turned to walk to the door, and to my horror, the people sitting there were my two managers at my college gig at a bookstore. I made direct eye contact with the one facing me, and the look on their face became so shocked and pained that the other manager, whose back was to me, turned to look at me as well, trying to gauge the other’s reaction. We didn't say anything to each other, but as I scurried away, I heard one say to the other, 'Was that X?' I got out of there as fast as I could (I wanted to run, but I felt like that would’ve been even more awkward). I couldn’t look either of them in the eyes again after that. Very soon after, they drastically cut back my hours, and I quit. I wanted out anyway, but damn was that wild." "I pretended to be asleep, but was secretly floored, as any 12-year-old would be. They ended up working through it, and they're still together." "A woman eventually walked in and sat in the empty seat between us. He bought us all shots to toast for his friend's birthday. As soon as the shots were down, I heard the older one whisper to the woman, 'Wanna get out of here?' She whispered back, 'Got money?' When he said he did, they made their exit FAST. I was honestly impressed by how quickly that went down." "At some point, the mic was unmuted, and she said, 'And you have this b— calling you daddy? Is that what you like?' It was a class for 20-plus people listening quietly. After a few minutes, she finally realized she was unmuted, left the meeting, and I never saw her in our trainings again." "The chat had my cousins (his kids), me, my siblings, and other family members. It was before WhatsApp had the delete-for-everyone feature, and we were mostly teenagers. Needless to say, there were red-faced reactions all around." Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.
