People Admit What Always Makes Them Cry

Do you consider yourself a cryer?

It’s okay if you are, no judgments here, friend!

And if you seem like a real harda**, chances are good that certain things still make you break down and weep.

AskReddit users went on the record and talked about what always makes them cry. Let’s see what they had to say.

1. Legends.

“When the musicians in Titanic start playing Nearer to My God Thee after saying goodbyes and then joining together till the end.

What a group of legends.”

2. Sorry for your loss.

“My dad passed very traumatically from a house fire.

He kept running back in the house to make sure everyone else was getting out okay, and he was struck and burned by debris. He spent 5 days unconscious in the ICU before his heart failed.

He had a small youtube channel where he would mostly record engines he was working on, and when I miss him a lot, I go to those videos and cry every time.”

3. Great movie.

“The ending monologue of movie The Shawshank Redemption.

“I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border.

I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.””

4. Terrible.

“Can’t Gelp Falling in Love by Elvis.

Was supposed to be the song my sister and her fiancee danced to at her wedding. Instead it was played walking into the church, at his funeral, after he took his own life.

My poor sister was so strong that day, but that song still gets us both.”

5. If I knew him now…

“Thinking about how poorly I treated my dad when he was still alive. He was always trying to find things in common with me to connect with me.

When I found out he liked something I also liked, I just changed my mind and found it uncool. I looked down on the tv shows he liked and didn’t realize until later that he had an awesome taste for quality campy television like The Adventures of Brisco County Junior and other classics from that era of ’90s syndicated television.

If I knew him now he’d be my best friend. I did try to connect with him in the last few years of his life but he had dementia by then and couldn’t follow things I knew he would have found interesting before.

His last words to me were “It hurts” while I held his hand during catheterization on his last trip to the hospital. I was too embarrassed from seeing his pe**s to offer any true comfort.”

6. Always so hard.

“Thinking about my dog’s last day.

She was 17 years old and her organs were shutting down. Before we took her to get put down she was in the backyard eating her food. She walked slowly to us while wagging her tail and we took her in.”

When we got home to bury her I looked over at her dog bowl and there was still a bit of food in it. K**ls me every time I think of it.”

7. The kitten.

“Thinking of that abandoned little kitten I found. I called him Mortimer.

Tried to keep him alive. Bottle feeding him. Keeping him warm, skin to skin. Staying awake through most of the night. Calling in sick day after day to stay with kitty. Emergency vet scheduling with them saying he probably won’t make it.

Kitty didn’t make it. It’s when my oldest cat slowly stalked up to the cat, nudging her nose against Mortimer’s head. Mortimer didn’t move. Didn’t react. I put him in a shoebox with his blanket… So he would not be cold.

Buried him and left a little pebble for a tombstone.

That was twenty years ago.

I’m sorry, Mortimer. I couldn’t save you.”

8. A sad one.

“The end of Homeward Bound.

Especially when Shadow says “Peter! You’re ok!”

Like, they went through all of that and almost d**d multiple times and Shadow was just glad to know Peter was ok.

Gets me every time.”

9. Dealing with grief.

“My wedding song.

My husband d**d in an accident a little over 3 years ago only 5 months after we got married.

All I need to hear is the 1st note of the song and the grief hits hard.”

10. Nostalgia.

“Strategically placed albums from my youth.

If I am half drunk and someone begins to play the album “Four Cornered Night” by Jets to Brazil, I will become uncharacteristically nostalgic, and then openly sob at the idea of how good I was at being 18 years old, vs how shi**y I am at being 38 years old.

Getting old is weird.”

11. Oh man…

“Watching “Fox and the Hound”.

I was watching the part where she releases Todd with my 5 year old daughter. Her with a catch on her voice asking why. Me explaining. Her in tears saying she’ll take him, she’ll take care of him.

Now I cry. Every. D**n. Time.”

12. A happy ending.

“The ending of The Pursuit of Happiness when he finally gets the job.

The struggles leading up to that point makes me tear up all the time when they finally give him the position.”

How about you?

What’s the Most Awkward Way You’ve Seen Someone Try to Flirt? Here’s What People Said.

Some people got game and some don’t. At all.

Actually, I’d say MOST people don’t.

Do you ever watch people try to pick each other up in bars or clubs? It’s pretty painful most of the time!

What’s the most awkward flirting situation you’ve seen?

Folks on AskReddit shared their stories.

1. Hahahahaha.

“I saw a freshman try to flirt during my colleges welcome week. Our freshman dorms are high risers (think 18 and 22 stories).

Freshman guy to three freshman girls. Freshman guy: “what floor are you all on?” Girl 1: ” im on 7″ Girl 2: ” 9″ Girl 3: ” im on 7 also” Freshman guy: “Looks like here we have two 7s and a 9″ Flicks his sunglasses down

It was the biggest train wreck I had seen in a long time. The girls just left. The poor guy was just looked confused.”

2. Very uncomfortable.

“Our dorm sponsored a day at Magic Mountain and I caught a ride with a few guys I didn’t know all that well. Leaving the park that night a car full of girls asked us to meet them at IHOP (guy sitting in passenger seat was frat-tractive).

We did so and our driver, who was definitely not used to this kind of attention, decided to impress the ladies by doing back flips in the restaurant. The first time it was met with “did he just do that?!?” giggles and claps. The second time it was “OK, buddy, enough is enough.”

He did this a dozen times. The last few, when he was sweating and no one was paying him any attention, were so difficult to watch.”

3. That didn’t work?

“A Geek man was trying to impress me, and it sounded like he delivered this line often.

“You see, I’m like Mel Gibson… I know what women want.”

With the cheesiest smile, followed by a “but I’m not as handsome I think.””

4. Can’t believe he scored.

“A guy I know met his girlfriend at a party using the following line.

They were talking and she said “I’m thirsty, I’m going to grab a drink”.

Then he replied “I’ll be your drink” and then they made out.”

5. No, thank you.

“A guy rubbed my friend’s stomach and said “This is where I want my baby to grow.”

It didn’t work on her.”

6. Debbie Downer.

“I’ve seen a guy crash the conversation of two people who seemed to be enjoying talking to each other, and derail the conversation with talk of extreme poverty he’s seen around the world until the girl walked away.”

7. The coat.

“When we were 16, a friend of mine always wore this big, long, brown leather coat. Awful-looking, it was.

There was this girl he liked and, lacking the necessary nerve to strike up a conversation with her, came up with a fantastic plan.

So one day he comes in wearing his big leather jacket. It was a lovely early summer day, and the girl of his dreams is sitting with a crowd of her friends, watching the cooler guys play football.

My friend walks up in front of the girl and her mates and does a loud, theatrical clearing of his throat – ‘AHEM, HEM’. All eyes are on him. I wonder what will happen next.

My friend pulls open his coat, holding it open like some sort of park flasher, and safety-pinned to the lining of the coat are a bunch of pieces of paper which read in heavy black marker ‘YOU ARE LOVELY, LET’S GO OUT?’

My friend doesn’t say anything, he just stands like that for what seems like an eternity, the confident smile on his face being replaced by a look of utter terror. The object of his affections says nothing as her face turns beetroot red, her friends sniggering. After a very long time, my buddy just runs away, mortified.

The next day, the entire school knew about it and he never wore that brown leather coat again.”

8. Weird.

“I have a coworker who texts me at random hours of the night saying “I loved seeing your beautiful smile today….”

I’ll ask him to stop, and he’ll be all sullen for a few days until he resumes his behavior.

It’s pretty awkward, especially since he’s much older than me.”

9. Wow.

“I was sitting in the cafeteria at school minding my own business. A cute girl was sitting by herself in a nearby booth, also minding her own business.

Suddenly, a known neckbeard comes up, sits down in her booth, holds up a cloth to her face, and asked “Does this smell like chloroform to you?” She didn’t really understand and just said “…what?”, but was visibly (and understandably) creeped out.

He didn’t really know what to do, so he awkwardly sat there for a few seconds and then just left.

It was physically painful to watch.”

10. Classy move.

“I used to work drive thru cash register/handing out the food at a fast food restaurant.

One day, this creepy dude pulls up to the window and is straight ogling me as I take his cash. He had just $1 in change, so I handed it back to him. A few seconds later, I hand him his bag of food and tell him “thanks, have a good one!” He smiles. I close the window.

A few seconds later, he knocks on the window. Alright, maybe he wants ketchup or something. Nope. He hands me back the single dollar bill. He says, “You deserve this for looking good, sweetheart.” Creepy smile plastered on his face, he drives away.

I felt like a stripper.”

11. Dancin’ Dave.

“When I lived in NYC I met this guy we called Dancin’ Dave. there are several stories about this guy, but one that fits the topic is the night he ran across a bachelorette party.

Dave would get drunk after 2 beers. We show up at this bar/club on the lower east side and he immediately orders 2 beers and slams them. He then rips off his fleece to reveal a freshly washed white t.

Just as he turns around, he sees the group of girls in the party and starts to dance over. He gets in the middle, does some pointing moves, some booty drops, then kind of settles out dancing with one of the girls.

My roommates and I are loving what we are watching. We see that they are talking and she is laughing. Thank god, because you either get weirded out by dancing dave or love him to death. As the song changes, he hears a familiar tune sang by the Black Eyed Peas and he just couldn’t stop. He dropped to the floor and grabbed her ankles.

One hand on either ankle kind of holding her there. He looks up and yells “I GOT YA ANKLES!” She then laughs, and frees herself from his creep lock and goes back to her friends. Dancin’ Dave comes over to us and say’s he thought everything was going great. We were like wtf, dancin’?! what did you do?! “I grabbed her ankles” he smirked.

It was from that point forward I knew I would never grab a girls ankles.”

Have you ever seen someone flirt in a really awkward way?

We can’t wait to hear from you!

People Discussed Their Most Interesting “Truth or Dare” Stories

Playing Truth or Dare is pretty much a rite of passage when we’re young.

Youngsters do stupid stunts, pull pranks, make out with each other, and do a whole host of other reckless things that they’ll be embarrassed about for the rest of their lives.

Hey, that’s what growing up is all about!

People on AskReddit shared their most interesting “Truth or Dare” stories.

Let’s see what went down!

1. Yes!

“I licked my friend’s armpit and puked all over the tree fort.”

2. Doh!

“I humped a wall because I didn’t know what “making out” meant.”

3. This is Heaven!

“In high school once a girl dared me to lick her feet for a minute straight, poor soul didn’t know the fact that I’m a foot guy.

I did it like I was disgusted by it, she seemed so happy and was laughing like she was actually punishing me, in reality it was one of my favorite moments in whole my life.”

4. Just say no.

“Accepted dare to eat an edible.

I occasionally smoked mild indica, the edible was potent sativa.

I don’t remember much of the night after that, but the flashes I do have involve a lot of shaking, anxiety, and puking.

0/10.”

5. A wild night.

“New Years 2004.

Ended up making out with EVERY female at the table, and nearly had s** with one…but a car crash kinda ruined it.”

6. Not too bright.

“A super good BB g**, shot myself in the hand as a dare.

I couldn’t cry so I just sat there for like 20 minutes, after that went to the bathroom and passed out from the pain.

I was like 14-15 years old.”

7. Uh oh…there’s video.

“I was dared to make hickeys on my nipples with a vacuum cleaner.

Luckily, I wasn’t hurt, but then there appeared a video of the process…”

8. Total creeps.

“I was like 12 at a sleepover and some girl was dared to j**k off a pug.

She did it while laughing hysterically until it came… never hung out with them again.”

9. Whew!

“When I was 8 I dared my brother (age 10) to swallow a marble.

Few days passed and he came running to me to go look in the toilet.

There in the toiled was the marble.

We were amazed.”

10. You get an A+.

“I remember in middle school being dared to show my d**k to a girl who was kind of cute.

I did, and got my first handy as a reward.”

11. Here we go…

“This is a very convuluted, complicated story, with much more to it, but ill keep it as short as I can.

I was dared to cover the head of my d**k with Cayenne Pepper, then close my foreskin over top of it. I was 13-14 at the time and was in a situation that would have looked REALLY bad to my foster parents.

Ironically, about 5 minutes after I did the deed, my foster parents pulled up to the house. So everyone playing scattered, but I had a d**k full of cayenne pepper and it was burning, like a lot. But it gets worse.

My friend that was over for the night decides to do it as well because I look like I’m “being dramatic”. He didn’t use as much as me, but we both were in so much pain and regretted everything. So we decided we were gonna go get cleaned up. Me first because I did it first. Except for one kinda big problem.

My foster dad worked in construction, then go to my foster moms business and would help her until she closed. Then he would come home and shower immediately, then go to bed. He would get angry if you tried to shower after he had gone to bed, cause the bathroom was right next to his room, and the pipes were extremely loud.

So by the time I got upstairs to get cleaned up, he was walking towards the only bathroom with a towel in hand. I had to tell my foster mom I was doing the “pee pee dance” cause I was moving around so much and looked so uncomfortable. I couldn’t tell my foster parents the truth, cause that would involve them knowing that we were playing truth or dare and had a fit.

I went outside to “pee” but actually just left my wang hanging in the cool wind to help with the burning sensation that wouldn’t go away. I also tried to scoop some of it off (yes I used that much, because I’m an idiot, that’s why) but if I touched it too hard it was just burning more and felt even more uncomfortable.

So I got the genius idea to grab two glasses of water, take them down for my friend and I, and we would get cleaned up downstairs in my room, then just dump the cayenne d**k water out the window. Sounds great right?

I get the water downstairs, and my friend is already in my room, using one of my deodorant sticks on his junk to try and counter the burning. So he rubbed his sweaty cayenne pepper d**k all over my deodorant I used for school after gym.

By the look on his face, I could tell he could give less than a f**k about it. I couldn’t really either cause I was focused on cleaning myself up. I hand my buddy his glass, and we clean ourselves up to the best of our abilities, dump out the cayenne d**k water, and then go to bed.

The next morning, we go upstairs for breakfast and bring our glasses up. I went to put mine in the sink, and my foster dad said something like “don’t grab another glass we don’t need any more dirty dishes then we already have”. And so I said “oh no I’m just washing ours before dinner”. He says “why? You just had water right? Its not even dirty”.

And because I have social anxiety and didn’t wanna talk about this any more than I already was, I just said “yeah I guess your right”. We both filled our glasses with water, didn’t touch them, then I got yelled at for wasting drinking water (we had to buy our water from in town cause our well water was salt water).

And yes, I forgot about the cayenne d**k deodorant and put it on at school. It burned and chaffed my armpits during flag football. Worst fu**ing game of truth or dare I ever played.”

Now it’s your turn!

What’s Your Wildest “Truth or Dare” Story? People Spoke Up.

Did you ever play Truth or Dare when you were young?

I’m willing to bet that most of the folks who are reading this right now played that game that brought out the worst (and the best, sometimes) in young people.

And I bet you have some wild memories too, don’t you…?

What’s your craziest “Truth or Dare” story?

Here’s how AskReddit users responded.

1. Bummer.

“Best, I was dared to make out for 5 minutes with a boy I really liked.

Worst, he said he didn’t want to play anymore and walked away from the game.”

2. Ouch.

“The worst was when my dumba** friend fell on me while doing the dare of jumping off the table.

Broke his ribs and my foot.”

3. Don’t ever tell her.

“One time when I was around 13/14 I was playing truth or dare with a group of friends and I laughed so hard I pi**ed my pants and all over the bare air mattress I was sitting on.

Luckily it was pretty dark so I don’t think anybody saw the literal puddle of pee next to me, so I mopped it up as best I could with my sweatpants and hoped the rest would evaporate quickly. In the midst of a panic I went and changed into different pants, conspicuously proclaiming “my jeans are actually more comfortable than my sweatpants.”

Anyway, I came back downstairs from changing to find one of my friends asleep with her face right where I had peed. I still haven’t told her and it’s been 8 years.”

4. I can explain…

“One time in high school, a cop stepped onto the bus as I was wearing a girl’s bra on my head like a helmet, like strapped under my chin and everything.”

5. Nice work!

“I licked the school bleachers.

I’m 90% sure I’ve done worse, but I have memory issues so I don’t know if I have or what it was.”

6. Didn’t go well.

“I was dared to suck a guy’s d**k in the bathroom.

He gave me herpes and my mum had to take me to the doctor to get some medicine for it.”

7. Going places!

“In 4th grade we were playing Truth or Dare on the bus.

Someone dared my friend to lick the floor of the bus.

He did it, and I thought about that moment the whole time he was giving his speech at high school graduation.”

8. Good and bad.

“Worst: I was 13 and the dare was to go into a darkroom with my then gf. She broke up with me instead of fooling around.

Best: I was 36 and on a party night with friends one opened up that he had never played truth or dare as a teenager, and he always regretted missing that experience. We spontaneously started a round of truth or dare.

A friend of my mine chose truth and answered that she wants to have a four-some with us. We stopped playing and had a four-some.”

9. Totally worth it!

“The time I was dared $200 to jump off my roof.

$200 and a couple broken arms later, I was rich AND popular.”

10. Good job, guys.

“Watching two idiots use the pen**es like lightsabers and fighting.”

11. Jeez…

“Was at Scouts.

The trapper had just killed & skinned a possum. Dared a boy to eat his eye.

Wasn’t his eye, was his ball. Kid never lived it down.”

12. Whoa!

“NYE, 1995.

I was dared to kiss a guy that all my friends were crushing on & I really wasn’t. I smooched his lips & everyone was like “that wasn’t a kiss.” So I went in deep and hard for a second one. I was 14 and he was 16. We have been together ever since.

He followed me to college, I followed him out of state for work, we moved back home at 25 & 27, got married. Here we are in 2021 still together. It is so bizarre.”

What Never Fails to Make You Cry?

I simply can’t watch videos about dogs being abandoned or about to be put down or sick or injured ones.

Why, you ask?

Because they make me cry, okay?!?! There, I said it!

What always makes you cry?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. A beautiful letter.

“My late partner passed away from leukemia at 38 years old. He hid a letter for me in our room incase he didn’t make it. It’s the most beautiful and eloquent thing I’ve ever read.

He talks about regretting not being able to see my hair turn Grey, or seeing me accomplish my dreams. He gives me permission to fall in love again, be messy, and move forward. The level of support is so encouraging.

It’s also a heartbreaking read and I’ve only read it 3 times. I will read it again on the 2 year date of his passing at the end of this month.”

2. Horrible.

“One particular patient I had working in a trauma center. 19 year old girl I’d never seen before, and didn’t know at all.

She was ejected from a vehicle and then crushed because her boyfriend was trying to show off. I was training new staff, and they were at the end of their training so I was only in the room to provide supervision and step in if necessary and I spent the entire trauma holding her hand (on her request) and trying to comfort her and keep her mind off of the injuries to both of her legs.

Her last words were spoken directly to me: “this really hurts. Can I go to sleep?”

I cried for days after. I’ve never had a patient’s death hit me as hard before or after.”

3. Sad.

“I live with my autistic son and when he is with me and not with his mother I have literally no time or energy to think.

When I am alone every future for him plays in my mind and I can’t think of a happy ending. Some day he will lose me and his mom and will be alone in a place for people with special needs.

And I read tons of articles and others how this all is for autistic people like him. It breaks my heart every time to think about him as an elderly person who has a broken heart but can’t communicate it straight.

I hope I will be live long enough to outlive him, I am just 20 years older.”

4. Brutal.

“The scene in Saving Private Ryan when the medic gets shot and d**s on the field with the rest of his group desperately trying to save him.”

5. Pets are family.

“One of my cats stopped eating on Friday, and Saturday we took her to emergency after we got the bloodwork from our regular vet.

Some sort of super aggressive bone cancer, and making the decision to euthanize her is the hardest thing I’ve done so far.”

6. Gone too soon.

“My daughter’s best friend d**d in a car crash a couple of years back.

She was 18.

She’d been coming to our house since she was 4 or 5.

She’d become a part of our family. Even when her and my daughter would have the silly arguments kids have when they become teens and a bit more independent, she’d still make herself at home the next time she was round.

She had a smile that lit up the room.

When I think about the night she died, I cry.

When I think back to the heartbroken faces of 8 teenagers that appeared at our house an hour after it happened, I cry.

When I think about how her family must feel, I cry.

When I think about how her death has impacted my daughter’s life, I cry.

When I think about how her life could’ve turned out, I cry.

Even writing this, tears run down my face.”

7. In recovery.

“I’m a member of a 12 Step program and in meetings we give out chips or keychains for different amounts of clean/sober time.

After giving out multiple years, one year, six months ……. etc etc, the meeting chair will ask if there’s anyone new or “coming back” (relapsed and is returning to the program) who wants to take a 24 hour chip.

When anyone gets up and takes their 24h chip, the room INVARIABLY gives them the loudest applause and cheers and welcomes them back.

The whole room knows how much courage it takes to come back and how scary it can be to get up and walk to the front of the room for that chip. It’s such a beautiful thing to see and it makes me cry every time.”

8. What I missed…

“It’s my kids.

When they were little, my mom had a brain aneurysm, my dad spiraled into a deep depression and they lost their home and business. At the same time, my mother in law has a stroke and my in laws’ finances collapsed and they were on the verge of losing their home too.

So I worked crazy hard to be everyone’s rock. I worked multiple jobs to help out my family. When I wasn’t working, I was taking care of them emotionally and physically. I so drained that i didn’t have much left to give to my kids.

I missed soccer games and school plays and trick or treating and first words and countless other things. Thankfully, my wife was there for them. So they got to experience all the good things in childhood….I just wasn’t there for it. Even when I was physically present, I was exhausted and cranky.

Now they are teenagers and don’t want to be around me. I just want to hold their hands, tell them that I love them and do something fun with them — anything at all, I just want to be with them. But my chance to hold them, teach them new things and experience the amazing joys of childhood with them are long gone. It tears me up inside….I’m bawling on the couch right now typing this.

Yes, all the work paid off. Amazingly, both my mom and mother in law are alive (with physical impairments). My parents lost their house and business but they’re in place that works for them. And my in laws went through bankruptcy but were able to keep their house. I’m glad it worked out. But god….it hurts thinking about what I missed.”

9. RIP.

“I miss Robin Williams.

Remembering that he’s not around anymore always makes my eyes sting a little bit.”

10. Addiction.

“Whenever my addict Daughter gets arrested (4 times in the last two weeks).

Whenever a look at a picture of her. Whenever I remember a memory of her when she was little and she was still my angel. Whenever I try to think of something I could do to help her and realize that I’ve already done everything a parent can do, and it hasn’t helped .

I cry when it gets cold out, and wonder if she is stuck out the night somewhere, cold and lonely. I cry when I look at her 8 year old daughter, that My wife and I are raising. I cry a lot lately.”

11. A sad song.

“Hearing ‘The Living Years’, by Mike and the Mechanics.

My dad is still alive and I hug him whenever I can.

But man, this song hits me in the feels.”

Okay, now it’s your turn.

What always makes you cry?

People Talk About the Most Awkward Ways They’ve Seen Folks Try to Flirt

Do you know what the term EFO means?

I’ll tell you what it means: Embarrassment For Others.

It’s when you see something some awkward and cringeworthy that you get embarrassed for the person it’s happening to…who isn’t you, by the way.

And I personally get a lot of EFO when I see people try to flirt with each other.

AskReddit users talked about the most awkward ways they’ve seen people flirt.

Let’s get weird!

1. Just like Michael Scott.

“I bartend weddings at a resort and I was stuck next to the dance floor in a really small room a few weeks back. The bride and groom were precious but the people who attended were…wacky to say the least.

One gentleman in particular could probably compete and win a Michael Scott look and act alike contest. He was goofy, free spirited, but did the awkward stuff like push people out of their chairs to dance or (very poorly) do the worm.

Through the latter half of the night he was dancing with a younger woman, despite having a ring on his finger while her not so much. He would lean in for a kiss and she would slowly pull away awkwardly.

She pulled him out of the room a couple of times but they kept returning to the dance floor for their awkward slow dance and missed kisses. As the night progressed he kept trying and more frequently.

I never saw a kiss, only extreme awkwardness.”

2. A real charmer.

“I had an account on OkCupid and a guy messaged me saying something to the effect of “you have a lazy eye, but it’s okay because you have a nice eye color. I got surgery to correct my lazy eye. I can work around your lazy eye. Message me back.”

Yeah, I didn’t message him back.”

3. Let me tell you about my fish.

“My ex and I were out bowling one time and I went to grab us beers.

I come back to a guy going into detail about his extreme fish collection and how she should check out his fish.”

4. The lingerer.

“Was out with a couple of girlfriends this weekend. One guy proceeds to sit at our table.

Within five minutes his friend joined him (friend barely said a word). Guy 1 was quiet and mumbled and asked my girlfriends and I each at least 3 times what we did and then asked my friend if he could eat some of her food.

They lingered for like half an hour at least…it was weird.”

5. He blew it.

“The worst experience I ever encountered was at a Final Fantasy symphony orchestra concert in Atlanta.

This guy approached my sister and I wearing a large Squaresoft blazer and velcro shoes. It was the nerdiest thing I have ever witnessed. He proceeds to ask my sister what her favorite Final Fantasy song was. Then he uttered this gold.

“You remind me of Aeris. Can I be your Cloud?”

I walked away from that with an uncontrollable gut wrenching laughter and left my sister with that guy. Whenever I see her at holidays I always bring it up.”

6. Not a good year.

“I kept running into this girl throughout the day.

Towards the end of the night, I saw her at a WaWa and so I said, “D**n girl, your nickname must be Visa, cause you’re everywhere I want to be”.

There was a store full of people to witness this. 2004 was a trying year for me.”

7. AWKWARD.

“At a previous job I overheard a guy hitting on one of my cubicle neighbors. It was his last day at the company so it seemed like his thought was “now or never man, gotta at least give it a shot!”

He comes over and awkwardly lets her know he has two tickets to an event, and wants to know if she’d want to join him and grab dinner while loudly and repeatedly blasting nervous fa**s the entire time he’s talking.

She tried to let him down easily, and I stared blankly at my monitor and used all of my strength to keep quiet. I felt bad for the dude, and more power to him for trying, but it makes for a funny mental image now.”

8. Poor guy.

“I was at a party with some good friends. There was this guy there that I think was only invited out of pity. Poor guy.

Anyway, the party is going fine, people are in all the common rooms chatting and eating. The poor shmuck, we’ll call him Bryant, comes up to me and asks if I’ve seen his phone. “No” I say. He lost it he says. Can I call it he asks.

Alright, no biggie, I ask for the number and call it. I walk with him to the other room, which was the darkest most out of the way room in the house, and I hear it rigging. Bryant then proceeds to pull it out of his pocket and says “oh, I guess it was in my pocket the whole time.”

I begin to leave. He then, interrupting my stride, throws an arm around my shoulder and says, “well now you have my number”. “Yep” I say and proceed with haste out of the room.

I can see how he may have thought is was a good idea. It was not.”

9. Trainwreck.

“I was working at a club. This girl wanted to dance with me. I respectfully declined because security guys aren’t allowed to dance with girls and would get fired.

All night she kept asking her friends to come up to me to dance with her. I was flattered but still said no.

At the end of the night she came up to me drunk and said “I’m really drunk right now. If you don’t go home with me tonight, I’m going to drive my car into a fu**ing tree tonight!”

That kind of made me cringe. I bought her a taxi ride home.”

10. Bad move.

“I was at a restaurant one night and one of the guys in our group thought the waitress was gorgeous. He would try to strike up a conversation with her whenever she came to the table but she wasn’t having any of it.

In a last ditch effort to impress her he asked for some extra napkins and after she dropped them at the table, he wrote his number on one and the folded it into an approximation of a rose. Then he walked up to her, while she was waiting on another table, and gave it to her.

He interrupted the customer that was in the middle of giving his order. Total d**k move. He was heartbroken when she never called him.”

11. Creeper.

“So I was at Burger King with my mom and little brother. Not a huge fan of Burger King so I asked her to get me a salad and I’d go find us a seat.

I go to the back corner area and grab a table and just sit and wait on my phone. Out of the corner of my eye I see this guy start scooching closer towards me. Eventually he’s about a table away. So suddenly he starts chatting with me and me being a socially awkward shy person I just sort of nod and stuff to what he’s saying.

Suddenly he turns the chatting into this weird flirty/cocky look-at-me sort of attitude. He starts telling me he was in the navy (no way he was either, he wasn’t even 18 yet) and he starts talking about prostitutes! Asian prostitutes that he met and hung out with on his Navy adventures. Starts hinting he’s not a virgin.

I’m super uncomfortable and trying to see where the F**K my mom was to end this conversation. She’s over with my brother smiling at me probably thinking I’m hooking up with this guy. Then he changes the subject to can I maybe text you sometime? I flat out said “no, I don’t have texting” (which was true) so he like throws his number that he apparently already had written down at me.

He then tells me to text him because he works at Walmart and can only afford texting, not calls. I’m like “uh…” And he like leaves in a dramatic floaty type of way. He sort if spun out of the booth. My mom finally comes over and wants all the “juicy” details and I tell her what happened. Her “happiness” of me possibly getting a date turns into hysterical laughter. It was one of the weirdest encounters ever.

Moral of the story: don’t tell a girl you slept with Asian prostitutes. It’s not impressive.”

12. That’s bad.

“My aunt’s best friend’s son has had a HUGE crush on me since I was six years old. When we were 12 or 13, he proceeded to sing me ‘Hey There Delilah’ but switched it out with my name and sang it in front of my aunt’s family.

I still cringe when I think about that. And at my sweet 16, he made a twenty minute long speech about how important I was to him in front of all my friends, family, and my boyfriend at the time.”

A Person Taught Their Boss a Lesson About Why You Need To Warn Customers About Closing Time

It’s time to go!

Today we have an interesting story from Reddit about a worker who taught their manager a lesson that they’d be wise to heed in the future.

Take a look at this story and how folks on Reddit reacted.

Start now!

Proved to my manager that it’s better to warn customers of closing time

“I used to work at a store that was open until 2AM every night of the week, so as you can imagine, when 2AM rolled around I was always ready to get out of there.

Around 1:45AM, I would walk around and let each customer know individually that the store was closing in 15 minutes, and ask them if they needed help finding anything before then. I did this for about 4 months working there and never had a problem, other than the occasional super rude customer who would completely ignore me and keep shopping until like 2:30/3 or whatever.

Or occasionally, especially on weekends, drunk people would come in after 2AM and just ignore that we were closed, because we weren’t allowed to lock the door or turn anyone away.

Usually I was alone by 1:45 since business really slows down, but one night my manager was still there. When she saw me go and tell customers the store was closing in 15 minutes, she was p**sed. She told me I could NEVER tell a customer the store was closing. She said it was incredibly rude and put too much pressure on them.

Fast forward to a few weeks later. I have still been giving customers a 15-minute heads up, because frankly I don’t think it’s rude to tell someone your store is about to close, especially at 2AM. Here is when I see my opportunity.

A woman had come in around 12AM. She seemed pretty out of it, and was wandering around the store aimlessly this whole time, but occasionally bringing something to the counter, asking me to hold it, then coming back and asking me to put it back because she changed her mind.

I had the feeling she could spend all night wandering around the store, so I decided that this would be the one customer I wouldn’t warn about closing. 2AM rolls around and I say nothing, and I proceed to say nothing all the way until 4:45AM when she finally leaves the store.

I literally got a call at 8AM the next day from my manager, furious that I had closed the store almost at 5AM. I innocently told her that the woman was still busy shopping the whole time, and I remind her that it’s extremely rude to tell a customer that the store is closed.

The next night when I went in for my shift, they had made the 15 minute warning a universal rule. We were all supposed to warn customers the store was closing, PLUS we were supposed to turn people away if they showed up after 2AM. Score!

Afterward I admitted to my other coworkers I had done it intentionally to show management how dumb their decision was, and I’m glad I did it because we never had to let another drunk teenager into the store after 2AM again.”

And this is what folks on Reddit had to say about this person’s story.

This person thinks they did a good job…and it’s always been a good idea!

Another reader argued that the manager’s behavior in this situation is just plain odd. I think I agree. And there’s a safety issue to think about, too.

This Reddit user said that this move doesn’t even make sense from a business perspective. You’re wasting money!

Another reader called this a total no-brainer. Amen!

Finally, another person said that the manager was totally clueless on this one and that their position defies logic. Yup!

Guy Checks His Blood Sugar in Front of Co-Worker With a Blood Phobia. Is He Acting Like a Jerk?

Well, this story from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page sure is a weird one.

It involves blood, a disgruntled co-worker, and a phobia.

Let’s take a look at what happened and how folks on Reddit reacted.

AITA for checking my blood sugar at my desk when my coworker has a severe blood phobia?

“I (24M) enjoy my job and have two coworkers, Megan (25F) and our new coworker James (23M) who just started. The three of us each have our own office space, but because we have to frequently collaborate on work throughout the day we are often at each other’s desks.

I am a type 1 diabetic, I give insulin and check my blood sugar throughout the day as needed. I give insulin through a pump so that’s not an issue. Checking my blood sugar involves pricking my finger to draw a drop of blood, the blood gets sucked up into a test strip that is connected to a glucose meter, and the meter displays the reading. The whole process takes like 10 seconds.

I was checking my blood sugar in my office right when James walked over. Immediately, his face went white, he looked like he was about to puke or faint or maybe both. I was like, dude are you okay? He told me that he has a major blood and needle phobia and gets therapy for it.

I explained what I was doing and why it was necessary and he said it’s “freaky” that I have to MAKE myself bleed multiple times a day. He told me he never wants to accidentally walk in on me checking my blood sugar again because he could pass out. I said that if I’m checking my blood sugar and hear him coming over I can call out a warning like “give me a sec!”.

He said that won’t work, just knowing that I’m doing that just before he comes over is enough to freak him out, and that he would be stressed that I might not hear him walking over.

He told me I should check it in the bathroom from now on. I told him that I don’t think I should have to do that and it’s unsanitary. He said another option was if I only check my blood sugar at certain times, say 9am, 12pm before eating lunch, and 4pm, that way he’d know when to avoid me. I said these things can’t always be predicted, I’ll need to check if I feel my blood sugar going high or low.

He said he understands that I have diabetes but that he also has a special need (his blood phobia) that needs to be accommodated and that he doesn’t want to have to avoid me at work and only talk to Megan for fear he might see me checking again. He said he’ll talk to HR about this and that he’ll tell them that I refused to compromise with him.

That was last Thursday before the holidays, tomorrow I’m thinking of going to talk to HR before James does, but first I need to know that I’m in the right here.

So AITA for not being more accommodating of James’ blood/needle phobia and checking my blood sugar as needed at my desk?”

Like I said, this is an odd one…here’s how folks reacted.

This reader said that the man is not being an a**hole and that this is a health issue.

Another person said that the co-worker is being unreasonable and, most importantly, is being very SELFISH. Get over it, dude.

This Reddit user said that the man needs to talk to HR at his work because this is a medical issue and the co-worker can’t be a factor in where he decides to check his blood sugar.

And lastly, this Reddit user said that the co-worker is being pretty ridiculous and the man’s situation can literally be life-and-death due to his condition.

What do you think?

Is what this guy is doing really rude?

Or is it no big deal?

Was This Person a Jerk for Throwing Away a Cake Someone Made for Her? People Responded.

It’s time to hang on tight for another great story from the archives of Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole” page!

And this one has to do with a discarded birthday cake that led to some hurt feelings.

Let’s see what transpired…

AITA for throwing out a birthday cake that was made for me?

“Last week was my (17F) and my twin brother’s birthday.

Our family wanted to throw us a small party and we thought it’d be a great idea since we’ve hardly gotten to see anyone in our extended family for the last year. I was particularly excited because our aunt owns a bakery and makes the most delicious cakes and I wasn’t able to get one last year.

The day of the party comes and my family members arrive. My aunt comes up to me and my brother with her daughter, Averi (9F), in tow. Both my aunt and Averi have a small box in their hands and Averi is absolutely beaming.

My aunt says, “Here are your cakes! I hope you like them!” and Averi immediately chimes in “And I made yours OP!” When my brother opens his box there’s the world’s most beautiful white chocolate cake. Absolutely supreme work by my aunt, it’s even got raspberry filling. My brother’s favorite. I couldn’t wait to see mine.

Needless to say when I opened my box I was quite disappointed. When Averi said that she made the cake she meant it. I don’t think my aunt had any involvement with my cake at all and it showed. The cake was lopsided, the icing noticeably uneven, and looked like it was decorated by a blind and/or drunk monkey that had access to sprinkles.

To be nice I took a bite. Lemon favor, which I detest. Even if it were a flavor that I liked it was dry and could barely qualify as edible. I set it aside, hugged and thanked my cousin for the cake, and continued with the party despite my disappointment.

After the party was over my aunt and mom were talking on the phone and my aunt asked to speak with me. She asked me what did I think about the cake and I was brutally honest. I told my aunt that I couldn’t eat the cake and had to throw it out and that I wished she had made a cake for both my brother and I and just let Averi have her little side project.

Unfortunately my aunt had put me on speakerphone so that my cousin could hear my answer and I gave the worst answer possible. Now Averi doesn’t want to talk to me anymore and my aunt and mom are upset with me. My brother called me and a** and said I should have just said I liked the cake but how was I supposed to know my aunt would put me on speakerphone like that?

Was I the a**hole?”

Hmmm….now let’s take a look at how folks responded on Reddit.

This person said that the girl’s aunt was to blame here. And I think I agree with them!

Another reader said that you gotta be careful with speaker phones…you never know who’s listening or what you might say!

This Reddit user said that the girl’s aunt really blew it on multiple fronts and is to blame for the situation.

This person blamed the aunt as well…and sprinkled in a bunch of fun puns. Take a look!

Finally, this person also agreed that the aunt is to blame for this entire fiasco.

This Person Is Angry Because Their Boyfriend Puts Things in Their Food They Don’t Want. Are They Wrong?

Never mess with someone’s food!

I believe in this and I think everyone else should, too.

But some people cross that line and, as you can imagine, it’s never a good thing.

Let’s see what happened in this story from a man who shared his story on the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit.

AITA for getting upset at my bf for putting things I dont like in my breakfast?

“I (20M) go to a culinary arts university in America and stay with my bf L(21M).

He is American and an atheist while i’m born and raised a Turkish Muslim. Since we both go to cooking school, we change the cooking chore daily without a problem. Also last bit, i’m a rather progressive person and i cut ties with my uber-religious dad and J knows this.

So onto the story, it was J’s turn to cook and he told me he would make breakfast for the weekend. So Saturday morning (which was my birthday) he comes to my room with some food and blindfolds me saying there is a surprise. Then he says he made something on the table and we walk there. I take a bite and it was pork.

From a pig ofc. so i was of course incredibly aggravated. I took the blindfold immediately and asked why he did this. He was in hysterics and thought this was SOO funny. I told him it was disrespectful and he shouldn’t disrespect my religion.

He scoffed off saying i was overreacting and that i wasn’t that religious anyway so he thought it wouldn’t be an issue.

I’m currently thinking of moving to a new room/house but my brother who i vented to is saying that’s too much of an overreaction so AITA for maybe reacting too much?”

And here’s how folks on Reddit responded.

This reader said that the man needs to be in a relationship with someone who is going to be respectful and have boundaries. PERIOD.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that the man’s boyfriend sounds like a total psycho.

I mean, who does something like this?

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that the boyfriend is obviously pushing boundaries just to see how far he can take it…and that’s a really bad sign.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said the guy who wrote the post should straight up dump the chump.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And lastly, a person argued that the boyfriend’s actions clearly prove that he has no respect for the man’s religious background…and it might be time to break up.
