People Share the Common Things That They Just Can’t Relate To

Kardashian worship. Kombucha. Pearl Jam.

What do these things have in common? They’re all really popular things that I just can’t relate to…

Call me crazy, but it is what is…and I’m sure you have a lot of things like this in your life, too.

AskReddit users opened up about the common things that they just can’t relate to.

1. I feel this one.

“Hanging out in loud crowded places.

Give me a place where you can actually have a conversation and elbow room.”

2. Not good.

“Fighting/yelling/hostility in relationships with my significant other.

It could very well stem from my childhood, I guess.

It’s not to say we don’t have disagreements or the relationship is flawless but obstacles always have been resolved without much issue. Fortunately this held true with all of my romantic relationships.

I’ve always lived by the saying “conflict is inevitable, fighting is optional.””

3. Really weird.

“Internet couples that play AWFUL pranks on each other.

Like, yuppp, how nice it is to be cruel to one another.”

4. That’s sad.

“Loving and wanting to spend time with your family.

Had a terrible awful childhood, as an adult just lots of toxic interactions whenever anyone from my family got involved in my life so all cut off.

When I see people posting about their family and how much they love them, I just dont understand it. I dont understand my fiance missing his mom etc. I know I’m the anomaly, but I just cant relate in anyway.”

5. Not ready yet.

“Wanting to settle down by your 30s.

In Asian families, not being married and having kids by 30 is like blasphemy. If old Asian grandmas were in charge of the law they would make it a punishable offense.

Fortunately the traditional views of ‘family’ is dying out with the newer generations. Now people are encouraged to set themselves in life before diving head first into starting a family.”

6. It’s all a mystery…

“Preoccupation with the lives of celebrities.

Why?

Why do people read about it or want to know what someone did today?”

7. Sounds miserable.

“All of my friends love to get dressed up, buy overpriced drinks, and take pictures.

That’s their idea of fun.

I just don’t get it.”

8. Cult-like.

“People’s love of Disneyland and Disney paraphernalia.

I don’t like roller coasters, and I’m not that into Disney. I do like a lot of the newer films very much, but Disney as an identity is bizarre to me.

This is especially tough as an elementary school teacher, because most of my coworkers are obsessed.”

9. No, thank you.

“The desire to have children.

When my wife and I met in ’78, one of the first discussions we had was a casual one about children. She didn’t want any; neither did I.

And that’s how we find ourselves 42 years later without a child in sight.”

10. Not feeling it.

“Football. I don’t get it.

It’s so slow and I can’t relate to it at all. College football is even weirder to me. 45 year olds cheering on a sophomore in college?

It’s just weird, I feel like I’m missing something.”

11. All or nothing.

“Shallow dating. Such as dates only to f*ck or apps for it (Tinder and such).

I just can’t handle it that well.

For me, there needs to be emotional connection or nothing at all.”

12. Working to live.

“Living to work.

I’ve never understood the obsession with working all the time. I just want a simple job, collect my pay and go home.

I live to enjoy what life has to offer outside of working.”

13. Interesting.

“Patriotism.

You didn’t choose where you were born. You likely didn’t have an impact in any of the things that make your country great. Some of you haven’t even been to another country.

It’s just tribalism to me and I just don’t get it.”

14. Bad news.

“Dabbling in really addictive drugs.

I always see people casually getting more and more into cocaine. Always starts with a line or two at the weekend and then within a year or two most of those people are mad into it.

Seen it happen loads now I’m into my 30s. Just seems such a risky thing to get into.”

Delivery Drivers Talk About the Days They’ll Never Forget

Delivery drivers are busier than ever right now – between groceries, food, essentials, clothes, and everything else we can buy online and have ferried directly to our doors, there are plenty of jobs to be had.

There are downsides to everything, though, and everyone has rough days at work – and once you read these 15 stories, you’ll know why these drivers will never forget these moments on the job.

15. Puppies!

One time someone’s puppy had gotten out and was running around the yard, and I helped them catch it before handing over their food.

14. These are amazing stories.

Not me but my dad was a fed ex delivery driver. One place he was knocking at the door waiting for an answer and then begins hearing heavy breathing behind him. Slowly he turns around to see a fucking ostrich staring at him.

Second one, he made a delivery to this mans country farmhouse. As you walk to the house you can clearly see into the barn. As he was approaching he saw bodies hanging from the scaffolds.

Turns out the guy was big into doing special effects for movies and helped with silence of the lambs.

13. Burned on his brain.

I delivered to a guy once at a call center who was wearing extra large sweatpants and you could clearly see what looked to be some sort of massive tumor between his legs pressed up against his pants.

It was huge, like almost beach ball huge and lumpy and I don’t think I’ll ever get that image out of my head.

12. What was he supposed to say?

I deliver pizza.

I walked up to a trailer park house and knocked, dude answers the door wearing a swastika armband and he’s bald, I tell him the total and he invites me inside while he gets the money there’s 10 more dudes all bald all wearing arm bands, sitting in a circle in metal chairs guy gives me the money, I go to leave, he grabs my arm and gets in my face and asks “do you like n****rs?” I don’t want to be murdered so I respond “nope not at all hate those fuckers” and leave as quick as possible.

The scary part is every other delivery driver but me that night was black and they might have never been seen again if I didn’t take the delivery.

11. So many memories.

Made a delivery on the 2nd of January. The guy opening the door was clearly drunk. Also he was wearing a bathrobe and nothing underneath, sausage and two veg clearly on display. Let me into the house, so I could get in the basement. Went past his living room, where a bunch of people with not enough clothes to go around were merrily drinking. He was a regular customer, so he called me up a few days later to apologize.

Got yelled at by a (metric) sh%tton of people… for blocking the street or driving to slowly. I an residential area, driving a 32ton truck…

Delivered wood pellets for heating to home a couple of months ago. Was a nice new home somewhere in the suburbs. Pellet deliveries take a while, so usually the people who live there start chatting to me. So I was chatting with the lady of the house and complimented her on nice new home (I almost always do this.

People shell out insane amounts of money for their house, I might as well confirm their decision. Especially because I´d like to deliver again the next time they need wood pellets). The woman started crying, because she didn’t know anybody around, her friends lived miles away and her husband was at work all the time.

Or the other time, when a father and his kid climbed in my truck. Mind you, if they had asked, I would have allowed it anyway. I sometimes even took dads and their kids for a ride around the block, if I had the time. But just getting in an playing with all those funky buttons, while I am at the ass end of the truck, trying to get the wood pellets to flow into their storage container and wondering why my remote didn’t work… Not good. Never delivered that guy again…

10. Talk about high maintenance.

I occasionally pick up delivery routes at the supermarket I work at part time, and the range of customers is crazy. The city has two universities (loads of students), and a butt-load of elderly and highly self-entitled (not mutually-exclusive) customers.

The system we use for deliveries/sat-nav. shows us “Customer Comments” right before each delivery, usually consisting of instructions like “There is a lift to the right as you enter”. Additionally, we are a fairly small branch, and so the comparatively smaller line we stock is made known to customers when ordering. If you don’t want items to be substituted if unavailable, you mark it as so when ordering (not a hidden button).

The other week, this lady had put a note to give her a call 45 minutes before I arrived… as if she was the only customer to whom I was delivering. The note went on to tell me “not to even bother bringing any substitutions as she does not want them”. I immediately knew this was going to be an issue, as I could see there was about 6/7 crates for this customer.

I was only a 10-minute drive away, so called and apologized that I couldn’t do so sooner. She said it was fine, and that she would be waiting outside to meet me, describing how I could identify her upon my arrival as “the two unmistakeable ladies”. It turned out to be a mother and daughter, and the order was a food shop for the daughter at uni. which the mother had placed. Without any cue, the daughter began going through the crates removing items saying “not this, not this, that isn’t organic, this is cruel, that has oil in it, definitely not that… omg why did you order those?!” like an ungrateful little something. She also berated her mother for not ordering certain things, and got stroppy when she didn’t find certain other items right away. The mother said “oh I’m sure the man will be able to get you this” as if I had the entire stock of the shop in the back of my van. When I explained I couldn’t do this, she began pointing at other crates saying “but you have this there?!” (a different customer’s order).

The mother begins to tell me how she’s never shopped online before, and her daughter has a very strict, doctor-ordered diet; whether she did or didn’t isn’t really my concern, but it certainly came across as the daughter having other reasons. Again, it’s not my concern, but she shouldn’t have gotten her mother to order, and perhaps should have shopped from somewhere which catered to her needs more. When I also explained that I can’t just give her other items from the van, she said “but every other time I’ve ordered they’ve done so-and-so?!” – first order, sure…

Now the real part that pissed me off is how the daughter had pulled things from the crates; on my system, I have to find each item individually from each crate number, and then manually remove them. Which means I have to know which crate they were in originally, since usually it’s only one or two items that get sent back. A lot of the items were fresh as well (from the meat/fish-counters) meaning they had to be binned.

Anyway, they got impatient, angry, and unreasonable, and I was late to all the remainder of my drops. That’s only one of many stories…

9. Canadian money.

Domino’s driver here.

At a store I used to work for, had these regulars in a rich subdivision that would order once every couple of weeks, always drunk ad hell and barely dressed (he would answer in shorts, she would be peaking out behind the door in some form of lingerie nighty). Always later in the evening, great tippers. One night she comes out completely naked, talking about how they used to do this all the time back in Georgia (Florida here). Took a picture with her, got my tip and a great memory, and left. If she remembered it at all, she never mentioned it the next time I saw her.

once delivered to an Indian guy in a hotel. Paid with a credit card, but tipped in cash. More specifically, a Canadian $5 bill. Happened a few years ago, still have the bill. Where am I going to spend a Canadian fiver?
watched a guy get pulled over. We were sitting at a light, he in the left lane, I in the right.

Light turns green, and we go. I get up to a comfy 50 mph, speed limit was 45. Didn’t realize the cop was behind me until just before the other guy got fed up and gunned it to get in front of me. Laughed all the way to my delivery.

8. I don’t see how you could.

Used to work for a pizza chain. I was mugged and shot. Partial paralysis in my left leg. Never gonna forget that.

7. Always say yes to Waffle House.

I worked and still do occasionally uber. I like to work late nights, the party crowd but I also have a habit of not stopping until 7 or 8 am which means I get a lot of working girls between the hours of 3 and 5 AM.

I liked driving working girls cause they were very polite, they always tipped and quickly I started to develop a trust with a few of them. Of course what the are doing is illegal, and personally I have no moral obligations to their chosen profession. This one particular girl over the course of 3-4 rides with me over the course of about 6 weeks got to know me.

So one night I picked her up and she said “Cohen tonight different, my John is giving me a bad vibe I want you to drop me off in front of the room and wait 10 minutes and I’ll tip you $10. If I come out within 10 minutes as soon as I get in the car just go somewhere”

I said fine, I did as she told me to do. She went in, I set a timer for 12 minutes (I was going be nice and give her an extra 2 minutes) not 5 minutes later she came into my car and said “Yea no way that guy fucking creeps me out”

So we take off

And I’m like where do you wanna go? Keep in mind its like 5 AM. She said “Let me treat you to some waffle house” I was hungry so I agreed.

So we went to a waffle house. She bought me my breakfast and we chatted for a good while. I learned a lot about her. Came from an abusive home, ended up with a decent job but didn’t mind fucking guys for money and it paid better then her regular job. Has dreams of opening up a beauty salon etc.

Cool girl, interesting times. After we finished breakfast I ended up taking her home at no charge.

And before anyone says anything, no s^x was involved.

6. How to get blacklisted.

I delivered pizzas in my late teens to early twenties. I have many stories, but only one very scary story. I drove up to the house and notice a group of men hanging around the side yard. I walk up to the door and did the pizza/money exchange all while these guys are yelling things at me in Spanish. I did my best to ignore them, but I guess they didn’t like a young female ignoring them.

Once I got off the porch they started yelling louder while running at me. I sprinted to my car and locked the doors. They stopped right in front of my car yelling who knows what at me in Spanish. Luckily I had an opening to get out of the drive and sped off. Told my manager about the incident and she made it a rule that only the men would deliver to that house for now on.

The rest of my stories are funny. My favorite were the stoned kids offering me a joint as a tip or that one time I wrote tip on my hand to piss the lady off who never tipped.

5. It’s like a horror movie.

It was my first day, I had moved back home after getting my degree so I started delivering pizza. After a few successful deliveries. I had an order a few miles out. It was a fairly big order but nothing too massive. So I head out and when I get to the address there were birthday balloons attached to their front gate.

I knock in the door and this ten year old boy stood there just in his underwear. Like literally just his briefs. I have never felt so uncomfortable. Well he shouts at his mom to get the money for his food. And he just stands there awkwardly staring at me. Not even blinking. It was so freaky. Well his mom gives him the money to which he hands it to me. And I give him the food. I had the distinct impression that food was just for him. But yeah.

Never have I left a place feeling so dirty as I did then.

4. She should have stayed.

I briefly worked for Jimmy John’s as a delivery driver during college, and although I had delivered pizzas throughout high school this is the story imprinted in my mind when I think of my delivery days.

It was a beautiful spring day and I was delivering about $40 bucks worth of sandwiches to a nice neighborhood in the early afternoon and was pretty stoked about my high probability of a good tip. As I suspected, I show up and the house is a real beaut. I walked up and hit the bell only to hear some guy yell from somewhere in the house, “Oh fuck yeah boys, JJs is here!”.

My first thought was how did some frat boys have a house this nice, this was near a mansion. Normally I wouldn’t let myself in but I decided to roll with it. I walk through the front door and this entire house starts cheering, and its filled with dads. My mouth is hanging open as they proceed to escort me downstairs to the “party palace”, all the while I’m stepping over children’s toys. When I get downstairs its the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen – a mans mancave.

They had a pool table, a fucking BARTENDER, and EIGHT TVs all streaming different games of march madness. Before I can even say anything they’ve handed me a shot to take with them and one of the dads says “Here’s to you, brotha!”. I ended up hanging out with them for almost 40 minutes and drank a beer while we watched the games and they explained that every year they take a week off from their firms and do this so they don’t miss a second of the march madness openings. When I finally was able to leave they kept asking me to stay and party and I was pretty sure I was would be fired but they kept protesting that I stay (the situation had me so dumbstruck by its surrealism that I just couldn’t leave). I finally get back to my store expecting to get canned, or at the very least a good tongue-lashing (our golden rule was 10 mins there, 10 mins back), only to find my manager slightly annoyed.

He said to me, “So, you met Mr. L huh?” I responded “Who?” To which he responded, “Mr. L called and said you would be running late and that your dedication in the line of duty is commendable – he’s a pretty wild franchise owner.”

tl;dr delivered to a dad party where they handed me drinks, had hired a bartender, made me stay for almost an hour, and bailed me out of trouble with my boss on account of one of them owning the damn franchise, and tipped me a fat $100 to party and watch March Madness with them.

3. Barely restrained himself.

As a veterinarian, I often take animals away after being euthanized, organize cremation, and then deliver the ashes back to the owners if I did the euthanasia at home so they don’t have to deal with a random stranger from the crematorium delivering the ashes back to them; they appreciate this.

One Sunday when I was off duty I knew I was going to be in the area of a client whose pet’s ashes needed returning, so I was not in uniform, and the ashes came in a plain white paper bag at the time with everything inside it.

I rang the doorbell, waited, saw the curtain move and someone peer out, and then nothing. So I knocked on the door again, someone came again, looked longer, and then opened the door. They started with a jump, and then apologized. “Sorry! I didn’t recognize you without your uniform and stethoscope. I thought you were a fast-food delivery guy.”

I looked at the bag in my hand, and bit my tongue – hard – as my body desperately wanted me to hand over the package saying, “One Dog, Extra Crispy.”

I instead said the usual courtesies and drove home, but I still wonder what would have happened if my mouth had run ahead of my brain.

2. What are you gonna do?

I spent a summer as a delivery driver for Jimmy Johns in a college town. There was a street where many of the houses were rented by fraternity and sorority members and passed down among the members from year to year. Needless to say, a lot of partying, and a lot of late night JJ’s, went down on this street.

So one weeknight, around midnight, I’m delivering a Hunter’s Club and Turkey Tom to a house that, from the front, looks empty. I ring the doorbell, nothing. Knock on the door, give my “this ain’t the po-lice ‘Jimmy Johns delivery’” proclamation, still nothing. Try the doorbell again. Nada. Another knock, to no avail.

After waiting a minute or two in front of this dark, obviously unoccupied house, I decide to head back to the store. As I turn to leave the porch, I hear the click of a gate latch from the side of the house. I walk over and am met by a very intoxicated young man, BUCK-A$S NAKED, walking down the driveway.

He looks right at me, a smile comes over his face, and in a Spicoli-esque burnout drawl, says “Jimmy Johns……………….HELL YEAH”, and saunters off down the driveway onto the sidewalk.

Perplexed by this exchange, and realizing the futility of requesting payment from a man with no pockets, I just got in my car and left. But to this day, anytime I hear anyone say “Jimmy Johns” I think back to my Mallette Street bro and say to myself “…HELL YEAH.”

1. The end of this story, though.

I was delivering pizza, two lanes on each side of the road with lights. 50 mph speed limit. Doing about that and a soccer mom in a caravan goes to pass me in the left lane. What she didn’t realize was that a cat had gotten it’s tail caught in the sliding side door of the minivan.

She drove about 3/8 of a mile doing 50 mph with a cats body just slamming up and back into the pavement. We got to a light and told her there a cat dangling from your door, she looked at me funny for 3 seconds then got out to look at the other side of her vehicle and saw the cat laying there, lifeless.

She opened the door, cat ran away.

These stories are entertaining, but I’m sure they were less so in the moment.

Was This Woman Wrong For Being Angry About Her Boyfriend’s “Guy Nights?”

Relationships are difficult. Anyone who tells you differently is either lying or they aren’t actually emotionally invested in the relationship at all.

I said what I said.

Which is not to say they’re hard all the time, but you know. It’s not always easy.

This girl is finding out that struggles can unexpectedly come out of nowhere now that a friend has become a boyfriend, and everyone is going out to have fun without her.

So me and my boyfriend, C, have the same friend group. There’s 5 guys and 3 girls including myself who are all dating guys in this group. For context I was introduced to the group 4 years ago and I started dating C over a year ago. He joined a year before we dated. Anyway onto the story.

They’ve all been friends for awhile, and OP is closer to the guys than the girls, but still, they don’t want to invite her along – because if she did, all the girls would be invited.

And no, it’s not every couple of months. It’s all the time.

So the boys in my friend group have started a thing called “guys night” where they go out and do everything we all do together but without us girls. Here’s the thing- ALL of my friends are the boys. I don’t know the girls in the group too well and while I have friends outside the group I’m no where near as close with them as I am this group.

They say they need to “spend some quality time with their friends” and that if I went they’d have to invite their girlfriends. And it’s not every so often, it’s every 2 weeks on a Saturday, which is the one day I can go out. So basically while my boyfriend goes out with all my friends I have to be stuck at home by myself. And what’s worse is when we all do hang out they constantly bring up stuff that happened on guys night saying “you had to be there”.

This had been going on months.

She got upset when he was giddy about another night out, and refused to take her along or just spend the night with her instead without even thinking about it.

Last night my boyfriend came over to mine from guys night really happy and was texting his friends when I asked him why I couldn’t go. He made a vague gesture at my chest and crotch saying I wasn’t a guy. I then asked him why he couldn’t skip it to spend the night with me and he rolled his eyes. I lost it.

I started crying and screaming at him calling him an asshole for allowing me to be completely isolated when I’ve told him how shitty it is. He ended up leaving and called me a bitch.

He’s staying with one of our friends who’s saying I was being the AH for yelling at him that way. The girls all agree with me though and I don’t know if I should apologise.

OP made an edit to explain that she’s not being possessive, and it’s fine if her boyfriend has hobbies, she just doesn’t want to constantly be excluded because she’s not a dude.

EDIT: I feel like everyone is confusing what I’m saying. I’m not mad he has his own hobbies- that’s amazing!! I’m just upset that I’m being excluded because of my gender from my friends who I introduced him to. I’ve been told explicitly this by him and his friends. Also we don’t live together and I only see him a few times a week.

And another one to say it’s not like he’s deprived or always working or anything.

EDIT 2: I should also add my boyfriend sees all his friends during the week but they schedule guys night on the one night I can go out. As I said in a comment I see him 2-3 times a week and he sees them at least 4 times, 5 on guys night. I see my friends once a fortnight.

TLDR: boyfriend goes out with my friend group while excluding me completely. I lost it at him and now I’m being called an AH

My gut reaction is that there are tons of red flags and this girl is not wrong, and there are plenty of commenters who agree with me.

Image Credit: Reddit

She probably needs to reassess her friendships…and her relationship.

Image Credit: Reddit

More than a few, though, voted that everyone sucks here.

Image Credit: Reddit

Something about the whole thing stinks, don’t you think?

Image Credit: Reddit

There were plenty of people who thought she was overreacting too, though.

Image Credit: Reddit

This one is more divisive than many posts on AITA, which makes it pretty interesting.

What’s your take? I personally think she’s better off finding a new boyfriend, but I don’t know….tell me what you think in the comments!

People Share Double Standards That Make Them Really Mad

I’m not sure there is a double standard anywhere that makes sensible, fair-minded people happy, but the hard truth is that some are easier to swallow than others – though which ones, I’m guessing, has a lot to do with who you are and where you’r from.

These 17 people are ready and willing to share which ones make them absolutely bonkers, and after you read through this list, I bet they’ll burn your britches, too.

17. There’s really no difference.

Rich people getting money from the government vs poor people getting money from the government.

16. Yeah… why is this a thing?

If you owe a company money, you will be charged interest/late fees/service interruption almost immediately after the due date.

If a company owes you money, you might see it in 4-6 weeks/2-3 billing cycles.

15. A tale as old as time.

As a 17 year old I am expected to act like an adult but treated like child.

The same kind of occurs when you’re in college.

You’re basically treated like a kid who can get arrested and drink, since you’re still under your parents’ wing.

14. Definitely gets me riled.

Father here. On multiple occasions of taking my either of my children to the “parents” room to change their nappies whilst out and about, I often receive dirty looks from the mothers and have even been asked to leave once.

It’s a parents room, not mothers. I just want to care for my d*mn children the same as you.

13. There’s no reason for it.

The employee should give two weeks notice, anything else is unprofessional.

But the employer will actively obscure their intentions until the very last minute.

12. Good for you, Dad.

I’m a Dad of a 3 year old and it drives me f*cking crazy when people tell me how “great” it is that I’m “babysitting” or “watching” my Son for my Wife.

He’s my kid, d*ckheads.

I’m just as much a parent as my Wife is.

11. Nasty is one word for it.

My last boss had a nasty habit of, upon finding out that an employee was moving to a company we did work for/bought equipment from, he would call said company and tell them “if you hire x person, we’ll never work with you again.”

Then he had the audacity to tell me that it was unprofessional of me to tell him I was quitting day of.

10. Everyone is allowed to be upset.

When people tell you not to be upset because other people have it worse

That’s like saying “don’t be happy, other people have it better”

9. They’re not going to apologize, either.

Dogs can bite us but we can’t bite them.

8. What a concept.

Right now in Canada, we’re in strict lockdown but a dozen of our politicians have been found vacationing around the globe.

In other words, we can’t bury grandma at a funeral, but these politicians can go work their tan.

Thankfully, many of them have resigned in the last 2 weeks.

7. Gender flipping isn’t as popular as it should be.

Those romantic comedies with the cliché beautiful and smart woman married to the dumbest f*ck of a guy who is lucky to have her.

Swap the roles and see people flip out.

6. And it happens a lot.

 you miss your bill to your internet/cable provider by a day and you pay fees out your a$s.

Your service goes down for a week…. oh well, you get jack sh%t.

5. Yeah, that’s gross.

Basically being against violence but making comments about how men will get r**ed in prison.

It’s disgusting and it’s so mainstream.

Every cop show makes some comment about prison rape being okay.

Even shows like SVU where their entire storyline should be about protecting people.

4. The rules, though.

“No limit on sick days” policy followed by an annual evaluation where I was told I took the most sick days.

Either f*cking dock my pay, take away my vacation days, or change your policy. Dont make employees feel like a$sholes because of guidelines you laid out for them.

3. Definitely not equal.

Bis*xual women are s*xualized. Bis*xual men are shunned.

Also, a bi male is only accepted when he usually dates primarily women. A man who dates men (or even married to a man), is often quickly mislabelled as gay. Put into a stereotyped box of what gay men do. As a married guy (M/M), when with my gay friends they talk horribly about women’s anatomy. When with straight men, they say I don’t act gay, or won’t acknowledge men can be bi. I haven’t been able to find many other bis*xual men to hang out with socially. Usually they’re repressed and discreet, or only hyper s*xually minded. Dude, I want to enjoy my beer.

Women are generally not existent on the s*xual periphery because they assume I’m gay because I’m married to a man. Not all men fit s*xually. My husband and I are both tops, so have been open to playing with a third s*xually together. We’ve been married 15 years and are emotionally and mentally secure in our relationship and committed.

Further, i don’t believe a lot of bis*xuals or society feel they’re part of the LGBT community. Many believe it’s a community reserved for the overtly oppressed, mentally damaged and misfits. It’s politically correct to be accepting and an ally, but not a community that’s chosen to be a part of.

2. This never made sense to me.

If you always arrive to work late you’re in big trouble.

If work never finishes on time, “shrug, no big deal.”

1. That day will come, right?

I f*cking yearn for the day when someone going to a therapist to support your mental health is treated socially how going to the gym is for your physical health.

Like just imagine if in a room full of dudes (am a dude) someone said they really made gains in therapy and the homies were supportive.

It would legit make the world a better place but somehow taking care of mental health gets looked down on a lot.

Yeah, all of these can go straight out the door and never come back.

Is there something you would add to this list? If so, drop it in the comments!

People Talk the Creepiest Unexplained Things They’ve Seen Online

If the internet has taught mee anything at all, it’s that there are far more creepy stories out there than I ever would have believed. Ghosts, humans, demons, robots – the list really goes on and on.

Even if you think you’ve seen everything there is to see, and maybe think you can come up with an explanation for most, if not all, of those things, these 18 posts might make you think again.

18. The definition of creepy.

So I decided to just type in something like mmmmmmmmmmmmm.com or something like it. Coca Cola used to (or still does) own a url like that. But just the same letter maybe 13-15 times. It came to a choppy video of a movie called South 32. It was cryptic and edited to just say “South 32” over and over again, for 4 hours.

So I tried a different letter. Same thing. And another letter. Same thing. The same website popped up for maybe 20 different urls in that type of sequence.

I tried submitting it to the internet mysteries subreddit but it didn’t gain any traction and I don’t believe it works anymore. This must’ve been 4 years ago now.

17. WTF cereal?!

When I was a kid, I had some cereal that had a website to visit to enter to win some prize or something.

When I entered that site into my computer, it didn’t take me to some kid friendly site or anything, it took me to a blank white page with just the text:

“We have been watching you.”

16. Why are people??

I was 12, alone in my room, casually browsing youtube on my old laptop when suddenly a jump scare opens on a completely different tab on chrome. I still remember my webcam’s light blinking.

I was so terrified that i wasn’t able to use my laptop alone for a good 6-7 months lol

15. Lesson learned.

This happened when I used to play Minecraft a lot back in like 2013-2014. I was with a friend on Skype and was trying to find other people to join to play a game in the lobby and I asked this one guy if he wanted to join. He gives me his Skype and my friend and I add him, then he starts inviting us to a video call and only one of us could join.

My friend joined and started screen sharing and this guy, who was probably like 12 or 13, was laying on his bed naked and had tied his legs and an arm to the bed posts and started ja*king off.

After that, I stopped inviting random people to Skype.

14. I’m sorry, what?

Humanbeef.com. Not around anymore.

I tried to find it on the way-back machine — to no avail. It was super creepy though…

ostensibly, a place to purchase meat — human meat. They had testimonials and photos / artistic renderings of processing employees wearing masks and of the final product. It’s been over twenty years (1998-ish) since I saw it, so my memory is a little faded… but I’m pretty sure the URL was humanbeef.com. I remember the color scheme being white and turquoise.

Anybody else remember it?

13. I would not like that.

Someone somehow guessed my name correctly in a 4chan thread.

I didn’t even give any clue to who I was.

Still don’t know who or how they did it.

12. Hubba Bubbles.

In the post above this one i just read a 2 paragraph comment about how to properly seduce a female dolphin.

11. This one did, anyway.

I was once reading a tongue-in-cheek article about paranoia, and it included a sentence like “they are watching everyone – even you, dryu_nya”.

The very next sentence said that they picked a name at random, but all the dryu_nyas out there must’ve shat so many bricks.

10. All that data mining.

I changed the email address attached to my Amazon account.

A year later I forgot and tried to sign into my account with old email address.

The same password worked but it was someone else’s account (name and address was different) and the guy hadn’t bought anything.

Why did he use my old email (it was unique to me and didn’t match his name) and how did the password end up the same as mine?

9. Why YouTube isn’t for kids.

Was casually surfing when I stumbled upon a video of a guy doing shotgun loading tutorials or something, the video was cut half and he was speaking another language and the gun accidentally went off and he blew his head clean off.

I don’t remember the website name or anything, I was just surfing funny videos to pass the time when I saw this. The amount of blood that went flying everywhere was horrible. I was just 11 when I saw this so it practically scarred me bad. It still chills me when I think about it.

8. How could you be?

I modded Discord servers for a while. Users send you all sorts of shock stuff when you ban them, typically just stuff like gay porn that doesn’t make me blink twice.

One guy sent me a home video of someone being beheaded. Wasn’t ready for that

7. This is the worst thing I’ve read in awhile.

A lady on gaiaonline got mad at me in chatterbox. So she went on my profile and spammed it with gifs of someone beating a dog to death with a shovel.

I remember seeing the first one and crying a lot because at the time I was like 11 or 12. She sent like 10 before I got her blocked and later banned. I had to manually delete each comment from my public profile.

Each gif was from a different point in the same video. It was really sad and I didn’t go back onto my pc for a long time.

6. Some people just like to scare kids?

I’m not sure if this has been explained, but I remember discovering a youtube channel which went by the name of “Robert Helpmann.”

The channel has various videos of a bodybag (seemingly with something inside of it) which is referred to as ‘Daisy.’ I came across this when I was young, and it terrified me

5. A glitch in the matrix.

This isn’t the internet but more on a call. I was on a call with my girlfriend who was in Germany at that time (early 2019) when suddenly she seemed to be repeating what she was saying from a while back. I got confused and was trying to ask her why she was repeating herself before I realized that her voice was being looped back. I didn’t realize the loop point or how far back it was but she was clearly saying the same lines as she did before. When I hung up and called her back, she asked me why I hung up on her and didn’t call me back.

Then during the second call, it happened again after 3 minutes! I’ve never been able to explain why this happened and has never occurred again before or since. Definitely gave me the creeps and more than a few thoughts that I was living in a simulation.

4. They never think they’re insane.

I read Kyle Odom’s manifesto on here. Basically he was this mentally ill ex marine who was convinced he was being telepathically manipulated by aliens. He believed their main hideout was in this church and he had to kill the leader to make it stop.

He ended up firing an entire clip of hollow point bullets into the back of the preacher of that church. The preacher made a full recovery which was deemed a miracle and Kyle Odom was arrested throwing his manifesto across the White House fence.

This is all a true story if you look him up.

3. That could have been super awkward.

I rang my Mum on WhatsApp to do a Video call , when she answered it was a man with his shirt off , middle aged (50’s) with glasses on sitting on a couch , it sort of looked like a hotel room . He had a foreign accent and said “Yes ? Hello? Who is this?”.

I hung up immediately and rang my Mum again and she picked up and she was on camera walking around near a pond . It was absolutely bizarre and has never happened again .

2. Can ghosts use the internet?

i was in a private call with a friend on discord and then suddenly we heard someone saying like “hello?! anyone can hear me? ” we both surprised and i’m 1000% sure there was only the two of us.

1. Never fall for the puppies.

Naive me got into kids chat, randomly got messaged by a guy asking if I want free toys. Childish me accepted, then guy led me to a 4 GB folder full of random dog photos.

Scrolling down a bit further there’s a few zip files, some photos were over saturated than the rest, others I can’t even make out.

Sh%t reminds me of some ol creepypasta and noped out.

Y’all, I don’t know what to think after reading those!

If you’ve got a similar story that would fit on this list, share it with us in the comments!

Creepy Theories That Will Keep You Up at Night

It can be stimulating to ask yourself the hard questions. To really dig in and examine life, and the big unknowns, and all of the mysteries of the universe.

It can also be downright horrifying to consider the possibilities, the answers, and the theories that strive to explain the unexplainable – and these 16 theories are creepy enough to keep you up at night.

Fair warning.

16. Statistically, you won’t meet one…but someone will.

It’s scary that there are thousands of serial killers out there at any 1 given time who often just blend in with the rest of society and live normal lives.

Many will never be caught.

15. Wild to think about.

That humans almost went extinct. 70,000 years ago a volcano in Indonesia erupted.

There’s theories that we have a genetic bottleneck around that time. Took our population down to 10,000-3,000 (like the size of one small town).

Lots of fresh genetic material died with those who were lost and the resulting inbreeding could have resulted in some genetic diseases that have made their way into humans today.

Without this event, we may have advanced faster and be healthier people today.

14. My brain can’t quite wrap around this.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

– Douglas Adams

13. Wait, really?

The theory that scented candles starting getting poor reviews at the same time COVID hit the US.

Makes you wonder how many people have mild COVID before we even knew about it, pairing the lack of taste and/or smell as one of the main symptoms associated with mild COVID cases.

12. A terrible tale.

My gf has a story. When she was 13, she and her friend would watch horror movies in the dark of her room; a room that was located next to a fenced canal. One night, they both look over to see a pair of eyes through the blinds, watching them. They run from the room screaming only to be told by the father of the house that they had been watching too many scary movies.

Two months later, the mother of the house opened the door to a strange man who proceeded to rape and kill her. When he was caught, he admitted to having stalked the house for months before the murder.

My gf and her friend HAD ACTUALLY SEEN this deranged rapist/murderer watching them.

11. I don’t like to be cold.

Basically heat exchange theory.

That one day all of the heat we use in order to create energy will be expended and the universe will be stuck in a “heat lock”

10. I believe that.

That mind control actually exists.

It’s something that would never go public because whoever was able to perfect it first would be in the position to use it on whoever is aware of its existence.

9. I’d buy this.

Philosophical zombies. Theory that a good portion of the human race lack conscious experience.

If you’ve ever dissociated or done something and don’t recall(driven home but have no recollection, your brain acting on auto pilot) thats what they are like.

They do everything required to be human, they ape emotions, go through life.

They just lack sentience.

8. Alternate universes, I’m telling you.

When I was younger I had this little stuffed animal dog I named rocky. One night, my younger sisters and I (who all slept in the same room so we could hangout together) were messing around, and I two handed over head tossed rocky into the wall directly in front of my bed. He hit the wall, slid down behind whatever was in front of my bed, and was NEVER seen again.

I immediately went to go get him and he just wasn’t anywhere. We tore the whole entire small room apart. We all saw the event occur. Over time the room has been completely emptied out, everything in it rearranged, walls painted, everything- and no rocky. He just completely phased out of existence.

Makes me think he glitched out of the system or something.

7. Creepy, without a doubt.

That you might be aware of everything happening to you during surgery, the anesthesia keeps you from moving and causes you to forget.

6. Sure, a hoax.

There was a call in to Bell radio in the late 90’s by a frantic guy claiming to be an ex-area 51 employee. He seemed worried claiming he didn’t have much time and that aliens were interdimensional beings infiltrating all manner of human civilization.

Tool took the recorded audio and put it on one of their albums with some slight changes including an added ambient audio track and just made it all that much more creepy.

There’s about 30 seconds of missing audio in the original recording and a bit of a while later the guy called back in claiming it was a hoax.

5. Or an alternate universe.

Sometimes I’ll encounter random strangers that I get a strange vibe from, like they’re noticing me more. It’s made me think, “what if there are time traveling tourists just walking around, and I’m someone important and they want to meet me before I do whatever it is I’m going to do?”

4. We probably don’t want to know.

That we have so little data about the deep dark parts of the ocean and don’t truly know what lurks there

3. Robots are definitely coming for us.

I saw a video about the theory of grey goop – in which one day we invent micro robots used to break down waste, but could somehow evolve to consume all carbon based organic matter.

This would eventually lead to them consuming all life on earth. I was mildly freaked out by the idea of it. It’d be the most horrifying means of extinction.

2. Ignorance is bliss.

That the universe is infinite and there could be billions of other living organisms that all know about us and have significantly better technology and could wipe us out at any moment but choose to leave us be because they know that we don’t know about them.

Kinda like some indigenous tribes that live secluded and don’t know that we are this civilized and technologically advanced.

1. Now I need to know why.

The one that bugs me was the one about the guy who was last seen in an Airport.

Theres video of him just wigging the f*ck out and running away at full speed.

They linked the surveillance footage and you can see him run all the way off the premises.

He was never seen again. There’s lots of theories about what happened.

None I wanna look too far into.

Some of these really blew my mind in a terrible way, y’all.

What theory would you put on this list? Freak us out in the comments!

Riddles That People Just Love to Tell

If someone asked you about your favorite riddle, would you have an answer? Do you have one that just gets the reaction you want every single time, one you just can’t wait to pull out at parties?

If so, you would feel at home with these 12 people, who jumped at the chance to share their favorite stumper on Reddit – and now we all know 12 more great riddles, too.

12. Is this from a movie? I feel like it is.

Tear me off and scratch my head. What once was red is black instead.

Answer: A match

11. Not what you think.

Two old fishermen are sitting by the fire talking. One says “The ones we caught we threw away. The ones we didn’t catch we kept!”, and his friend agrees.

What are they talking about?

Answer: Their fleas

10. I love it.

This one is very heavy on lateral thinking – after giving the opening to the riddle (below), tell the other person they may ask as many questions they want to figure the answer out providing you can answer it with “Yes”, “No”, or “That’s irrelevant”.

A man walks into a restaurant and sits down at a table. He orders a seagull sandwich from the menu. The sandwich arrives, the man takes a bite of it, then leaves the restaurant, goes home, and commits suicide. Why?

Your friend is then expected to get the following convoluted solution from their questioning, which from experience people either love the game to figure it out, or loathe how out there the correct answer is.

Answer: The man is a widower whose wife died on a holiday in the past. They were on a cruise when the ship capsized. The man and his wife made it onto a lifeboat with a few other survivors and washed up on a deserted island.

The man’s wife and another survivor went to search for food and eventually the stranger returns with a large amount of “seagull meat”, but unfortunately informs the man that his wife was killed (fell to her death, gored by a bore, or anything else) during the expedition. They eat the “seagull”, and after being rescued the man returns home alone.

In the restaurant the man orders a dish containing seagull meat, and upon taking a bite he notices that the taste is not the same as the “seagull” he ate on the island. The revelation makes him realise what actually happened that day, an unable to live with the guilt of eating his wife, he kills himself.

9. Too many gods.

Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter

Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

A single god may be asked more than one question, questions are permitted to depend on the answers to earlier questions, and the nature of Random’s response should be thought of as depending on the flip of a fair coin hidden in his brain: if the coin comes down heads, he speaks truly; if tails, falsely.

Answer: You tell us!

8. Ask all of the questions.

A man is driving on the highway. At one point, he stops, gets out of his car and shots himself. Why?

Answer: He’s a radio anchorman. He killed his wife for insurance fraud or whatever reason and wanted to cover it up by pre-recording his show which normally airs live to have an alibi for the time period when his wife was killed.

After the deed, he was driving home and heard his own voice on the radio… but the tape got stuck and now everyone knows his “live” show was pre-recorded.

He kills himself upon realizing his alibi won’t work

7. What to do first?

A mountain climber, barely alive in the middle of a freezing blizzard, stumbles upon a wooden cabin. Pulling himself inside and well aware that he’s got severe hypothermia on his face, hands and feet, he surveys the interior.

There’s a small wood-burning stove and even an old propane barbecue, although our hiker can’t remember if burning propane indoors is safe. On a small bedside table is an aromatherapy candle, although the climber isn’t sure how much heat it’ll give off, and an antique oil lantern less than a quarter full.

Going through his supplies, the hiker discovers he only has one wooden match left. And with less than ten minutes before he succumbs to the frostbite, his survival depends on making the right choice.

What does the hiker light first?

Answer: The match

6. Simple but great.

What can travel the world while staying in a corner?

Answer: A stamp

5. Everybody together now!

4 people are trying to cross a bridge. One can cross in 1 minute, one can cross in 2 minutes, one can cross in 5 minutes, and one can cross in 10 minutes. The bridge can only support 2 people at a time.

They only have one flashlight and whenever a person/group is crossing, they must carry the flashlight. What’s the quickest amount of time to get everyone across?

Answer: 17 minutes.

The 1 min and 2 min go together (2 min), the 1 min comes back (1 min) and sends the 5 min and 10 min together (10 min), the 2 min comes back with the light (2 min) and brings the 1 min with him (2 min).

4. I had to think about this.

What can be filled with empty hands.

Answer: Gloves

3. You can only tell it verbally.

One knight, a king and a queen put their baby to bed. Then the king and queen leave the room. In the morning the baby was dead, how did it die?

Answer: The knight killed it.

If you’re speaking, most people will assume you said “night.”

2. That’s a ton of information.

Looking for something? Open me. I’m sure that your something inside of me lies. Of course, you could always find hope in me. Though, despair must come first, and later surprise. What’s sought, though, depends on the seeker.

Some look for bobbin, others for beaker. Others for nature. Still others for nurture. The quarry will vary from searcher to searcher. And, yet, I suspect this will strike you as strange: My contents are set and will not ever change.

If you still cannot guess what I mean, here’s a clue: The answer, what I mean, lies inside of me, too. What am I?

Answer: An unabridged dictionary

1. A classic!

How far can a dog run into the woods?

Answer: Halfway. After that he’s running out of the woods.

Definitely going to make some of these my own – my set could always use some fresh blood.

If you do have a favorite riddle, please drop it in the comments!

The post Riddles That People Just Love to Tell appeared first on UberFacts.

A Man Asked if He’s Wrong To Keep His Terminal Diagnosis From His Wife

When I read that a man wants to keep the fact that he’s dying from his wife, I get a little judgy. You’re supposed to be each other’s person, their till-death-do-us-part, and to keep something that will ultimately affect you both a secret, well…that can’t be right.

Can it?

As with many Am I the A$shole posts, though, there’s always a bit more than meets the eye -and it should come as no surprise that dying can be intensely personal and varies from person to person.

The husband in question gives us a little background up front. A medical condition means he never expected to live a long life, but he says that a recent “complication” took his time from 20 or 30 years down to 1.

Male, 31 here. For the past 15 years, I’ve been dealing with a medical condition that requires constant medication and consistent doctor’s visits. I had always been projected to live until 50-60ish, however, a recent complication has cut that down to 12 months, 16 at best. In about 10 months, my condition should start getting a lot worse. After 12 months, I’ll essentially be living in the hospital.

He’s married and doesn’t know how to tell his wife, and all of this has (understandably) made him rethink his short future.

I am married of 4 years (no kids). I haven’t had the heart to tell my wife the news. I don’t even know how. We always knew I’d die younger than I wanted to, but we never expected it to be this soon.

As much as I know I should tell my wife, I don’t want my last year to be plagued with an impending doom.

My wife and I have always talked about living abroad somewhere, maybe Australia, but we’ve never found the time or money to do so. I’ve been saving up to go to graduate school, however, I don’t see much point in that now.

He wants to enjoy the time he has left, and to give his wife a nice time, a good memory, of this final year of his life, but wonders if he’s wrong to keep something this huge from her until their time is almost gone.

So here’s my idea: take some of that money, and take my wife to Australia for a few months, and enjoy the time together. I have a job I can work remotely from anywhere, and she has a job that she can easily find work anywhere. We can work part-time, and enjoy our time together. When we get back, or maybe towards the end of it, I will break the news to her. I just wouldn’t want the trip to be ruined for us by constant reminders of me dying. I know my wife, and she’s very emotional – to the point where I feel like she will be crying everyday and not enjoying herself. I want this memory to be a good one for her, and not plagued by my time ticking down.

As a note, he wants us to know he’s not a jerk – his wife will be taken care of in every way he can imagine after he’s gone. He just wants to live these last months on his own terms.

AITA for putting off telling her I am dying?

Note: I have life insurance that will take care of her, so I am not too worried about spending this money now on this trip. And I plan on talking to her about a sperm bank, just in case she decides she wants my kids in the future, as well as premised birthday cards and other things for her to have.

The people of Reddit were ready and waiting to weigh in, and as usual, they held nothing back.

Image Credit: Reddit

This person was a bit kinder, saying he doesn’t suck, but also saying that from personal experience, they think she deserves to know.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that she’s going to need time to process, too, and he’s taking that away from her.

Image Credit: Reddit

And this very good point, which is that he might think he knows how she would choose to spend their last year together, but he doesn’t actually know unless he asks – and he never will.

Image Credit: Reddit

This excellent thought from a soft-hearted person says that OP is going to need his partner, that this isn’t something he should go through alone.

Image Credit: Reddit

I agree that this is just a sad situation all the way around, and I hope that he decides to tell her so they can do this together.

That said, he’s going through something most of us will thankfully never have to face, and so maybe he deserves some time and grace, too.
