A Woman Asks if She’s Wrong for Banning Her Roommate’s Girlfriend From Their Apartment

It feels good to say that sometimes, don’t you think?

And that’s what went down when a young woman decided to ban her roommate’s girlfriend from their apartment for some inappropriate behavior.

Let’s take a look at what happened.

AITA for banning my roommate’s girlfriend after she kept insisting I was hitting on her?

“I (24F) am a lesbian living with my good friend (25M). I own the apartment; I’m renting out the extra room to him.

A little over a month ago, he met a girl online, and they started dating. She is now at our place constantly. I’ll be honest, I’ve never really liked her. She was incredibly standoffish and rude to me from the beginning. I eventually learned it was because she thought I had a thing for my roommate. Even after he told her I was gay, apparently her only argument was, “she doesn’t look gay.”

A few weeks ago, we were all drinking and hanging out at our place with a few close friends. I tried to mend fences by pulling the GF aside and telling her that I really am gay, I have no interest in stealing her boyfriend, and I hope we can be friends.

She seemed to take this very well, and was OVERLY friendly with me the whole rest of the night. I thought she was just trying to make up for being so cruel at first.

The next day, my roommate asked if we could talk. He said his GF feels uncomfortable around me after I “drunkenly hit on her.” Wuuut. I was not even remotely close to being drunk. Also, I am negatively attracted to her. Like, way less than zero. I find her insanely annoying.

I tried to explain that I was trying to be nice, as I knew she didn’t particularly like me. I wanted to be civil if she was going to be around often. My roommate seemed skeptical, but he ultimately took my word for it and chalked it up to a miscommunication.

Fast forward a week or so, the friend group is hanging out at our place again. The GF comes over, of course. I’m cordial to her, but I try to keep my distance so another “miscommunication” doesn’t happen.

Towards the end of the night, one of our other friends comes up to me like, “Dude, what is going on? GF keeps telling everyone you’ve been checking her out and hitting on her all night?”

Again, I was stunned. And at this point, incredibly pissed off. I went right up to the GF in front of everyone, and said, “What the hell’s going on? Why are you spewing lies about me hitting on you to all my friends?”

She just stared at me, unable to respond. I continued, “Just because I’m gay does not mean I’m into you. Trust me, I am not the LEAST bit interested in you.”

She started sobbing that I was attacking her for no reason, calling her out, making her super uncomfortable again, etc. I told her to get the hell out, and that she was no longer welcome here for making ME feel uncomfortable in my own apartment. Her and my roommate left.

Needless to say, my roommate is super pissed at me. He hasn’t been back to our place since, but I’ve gotten some angry texts. I’m standing my ground that she is not welcome here anymore, but he is free to stay or move out as he pleases.

Most of our friends are on my side. I guess I could’ve been easier on her, but I am just so over it.”

Here’s how folks on Reddit responded to the woman’s story.

This person doesn’t think the woman was wrong for her actions at all…and they think the roommate’s girlfriend is all about the drama.

Another reader argued that the roommate’s girlfriend probably has a few screws loose…I think I agree with this one.

This reader agreed that this woman is definitely not wrong about her actions and that she actually handled it the best way she could.

People Share Things That Are Socially Acceptable but Really Shouldn’t Be

It’s kind of weird what some people think is socially acceptable and what isn’t?

For instance, some people really and truly believe that smoking marijuana is about the worst thing a person can do, but getting black-out drunk and causing all kinds of trouble is no big deal.

I don’t really partake in either, but I can say that I’ve never seen any of my friends or even random folks do anything destructive or violent after they smoked a little weed…but it still has that stigma around it for some folks.

What is socially acceptable but really shouldn’t be?

Here’s what folks on AskReddit had to say about this.

1. Way too much alcohol.

“When I was in college I realized at one point that the amount I was drinking was really quite unhealthy.

I thought it was normal cause it’s college and it’s fun and that’s what people do, but looking back I cringe at what I was probably going to my liver.

I’m glad I had fun in college though, and I certainly didn’t go as hard as some people, but we definitely are more okay with heavy drinking as a society then we should be.”

2. Ummm…never?

“Asking people when they’re going to have children.

It’s such an invasive question, and one that has many potentially awkward answers.”

3. Stop asking me that.

“Telling someone to smile.

Thanks to this pandemic I don’t feel forced to please people anymore.”

4. Such a lame excuse.

“Getting bullied in school because “boys will be boys”.

That isn’t a general quote btw, that is what my principal said to my dad when we all had a meeting because I was being bullied a lot.”

5. Put it down for a while.

“Looking at your phone while on a date, or out with friends at a restaurant.

It makes me feel like I’m competing with their phone for their attention.

Phone wins 95% of the time.”

6. Drives me INSANE.

“Using your phone on speaker in a public setting.

Like a bus or in a crowded room.”

7. Disrespectful.

“Throwing cigarette butts everywhere.

I know, you would not think that it is socially acceptable. But everywhere you go there are cigarette butts everywhere. And people tossing them out of cars.

I don’t get it and it’s so disrespectful and stupid.”

8. Maybe it’s time to change?

“The tips system for food services.

Just pay your d*mn employees, don’t make us have the guilt of paying your employees so they can live, Barbara.”

9. Very rude.

“Openly commenting on a persons weight with an entitled attitude to tell them what they need to do with their body.

I’ve been naturally and happily slender my entire life, however brought up in a culture where bigger is beautiful, and I’ve never once asked for anyone’s advice or comments regarding my body.

It would be nice for people to focus on themselves and have more educated conversations.”

10. Pretty odd.

“Gender reveal parties.

I think they’re stupid, unnecessary, and a big ego boost for the people throwing it.

I miss the old days where you can just ask someone what the gender of the baby is as opposed to having to wait for months for some “unique” way to pop pink or blue confetti.”

11. Sit there and take it.

“Not being able to stand up to rude customers just because the company is afraid to lose business.

I understand that it’s one thing to be rude to a customer, but you should be able to verbally defend yourself against rude customers.

Establishments just expect you sit there and accept the disrespect as if people can’t be affected by words.”

12. For the love of God.

“Going on “missionary” trips to poor countries with your church group to take pictures and come home to give seminars and speeches to your group about how you’re “doing God’s work.””

13. Bad behavior.

“Excusing bad behavior with things like:

“Boys will be boys”

“Kids will be kids”

“They’re just having fun”

What do you think about this?

What’s the Biggest Bullet You Ever Dodged? Here’s What People Said.

Life sure can be strange…

One minute you can be minding your own business and having a pleasant day and then out of nowhere something totally unexpected and terrible happens.

That’s why it’s important to appreciate every day we have on this planet…because you never know when something bad might happen.

AskReddit users talked about when they dodged major bullets in their lives.

1. Gotta protect your head!

“I used to roller skate as a kid outside my house down a hill and never wore any kind of protection.

Suddenly one day before I go out my older brother tells me I can’t leave unless I put on a helmet, which is weird since he’s never cared before. Anyways I do it and that day, for the first time ever, I fell and landed on the back of my head so hard that the helmet cracked.

That crack would’ve probably been my skull had I not wore it.”

2. Creepy.

“Years ago I was on a first meet for an internet date. We met at a bar and the bartender carded us.

Even though we were both older they were doing stings in the area so he was carding every single person. Handed mine right over but my date was an *ss about it. The bartender checked mine and handed it back to me. He checked his and rather than handing it back to him he placed it on the bar right in front of me.

It had the s*xual offender stamp on it. The guy picked it up, looked at the bartender, looked at me and then got up and walked out. I immediately googled him. He was on the registry and had been in prison for r*pe.

Lesson learned. Always google. The bartender and I are still friends.”

3. Phew.

“About a year ago at my job I was offered to switch from my current team where I was established for a few years, had seniority, etc. for a new department that just started to kick it off, write processes, basically start from square 1. A lot more work for the same amount of pay. I figured f*ck it and went.

Yesterday they announced that they just closed the physical HQ office for my old department, and everyone in that entire part of the company would have to either move to one of 14 random states (that we cant pick, its chosen basically by a roulette wheel for where you’re going) to a local office, or they’re going to be fired.

Thankfully since I’m part of the new department, I wasn’t included in that mandate. Phew.”

4. Pre-pandemic.

“Sold my three restaurants in February 2020, for way more than they were worth.

Now two of them have closed.”

5. Close call.

“I was a teen driver not paying attention at an intersection at the crest of a hill with low visibility when the light turned green.

The car behind me honked and just as I was about to go a truck barreled through the red light on the perpendicular road at decidedly ludicrous speed. If I had been paying attention and gone when the light turned green, I very likely would have been T-boned to death.

Closest call I’ve ever had.”

6. This is scary.

“I was on the train in Brooklyn a few years ago.

Next to me was this man who had a big tool in his bag. I think it was a hammer. He was moving very oddly. It was just the vibe that “this man is up to something.”

I decided that once we got to the next stop, I would get off the train and catch the next train, which I did. 30 minutes later this guy gets off the train, at my stop, and starts attacking people. He went after cops and was shot to death.

If I didn’t get off that train, and instead got off with him, I might be dead.”

7. No more smoking.

“In 1994, I was on a business trip in LA.

I stopped for a pack of cigarettes before getting on the Santa Monica Freeway. The Northridge earthquake happened while I was in line. Parts of the freeway collapsed.

I quit smoking after that pack.”

8. Ouch.

“Got chucked off a horse. Hit the ground so hard I felt my soul leave my body.

Started to cough up blood and was having trouble breathing within 30 seconds. Rushed to the hospital and the doctors were running down the hallway with me on a back board (doctors running is aways a bad sign). I was sure I was dying.

Come to find out that I broke 2 bones in my back and collapsed a lung. Once I was more with it a nurse handed me my helmet and said “it’s a good job you were wearing this”. It had been cracked almost in half.

If I hadn’t been wearing it that would have been my head, and I’d most certainly be dead or permanently disabled. Wear your helmet kids.”

9. Tinder match.

“I matched with a guy on Tinder who played for the Atlanta Falcons. He was really charming and seemed nice

. He asked me to fly down to Atlantic City for Memorial Day weekend, said he would pay for everything (airfare, hotel, food, etc.) but I had never met him before and he refused to give me his phone number.

I was uncomfortable flying to meet a stranger so I told him no. Two weeks later he was on the news for kicking (and killing) his girlfriends dog.”

10. Avoiding the storm.

“2005, my friend and I evacuated New Orleans 2 days before Hurricane Katrina and drove to Mississippi with the little money we had.

We were trying to decided on where to stay for the night and it was between a mid range hotel or the really cheap motel. Decided to spend a little more for the hotel.

During the night the eye of the storm came through Mississippi and flattened the roof of the motel we decided against.”

11. Split decision.

“When I was 12 years old, I was going to be home alone one evening, since my mother was going to a dinner party at her friend’s house. She wouldn’t be home super late, midnight at the latest – but I would have to tuck myself in and such.

I was looking forward to it and feeling like a really “big girl”, hell yeah! Since we lived in a kind of shared two-story town house, with close neighbors on each side and a nice lady living in a separate apartment upstairs – I felt super safe being home alone at night.

An hour before dinner time, a good friend called and asked me if I wanted to come to her house and have dinner – afterwards they were going to watch “The Abyss” in their giant home theater.

Being a lover of sci-fi and having heard about the really cool computer graphics in that movie – had wanted to watch that movie in like forever. Having the chance to watch it on such a cool setup convinced me to go, despite having looked forward to being home alone.

The evening went fine and I had a good time – but since the movie was really long, I got home pretty late.

When I pulled up to my house on my bike, I only just noticed an orange glare in the windows upstairs – before the first-story windows exploded out in to the garden. The fire department arrived only a few minute later, and put out the fire, before it could engulf our part of the house as well.

Apparently the lady upstairs had fallen asleep on her couch, with a cigarette in her hand. The fire had smoldered in the couch, developing a very toxic smoke, which not only caused the lady to get “normal” smoke inhalation – the chemicals also f*cked up her brain permanently. She was in a coma for a year or so, before they ended up pulling the plug.

The doozy was that we shared our ventilation system with the upstairs apartment, so our apartment was jet black – SO much of the poisonous smoke had come into our home.

The fire marshal (I think they’re called in English?) said that with that amount of smoke, combined with my small stature – I would never even have noticed the fire (I would have been asleep by then), but simply have slipped into a coma and died, before anyone had even noticed the fire from outside the house.

I think the shock almost killed my mother as well. See, she thought I was home (I hadn’t told her of my sudden change of plans), and got the call about the fire from a neighbor – to only later learn that I was shocked, but safe and sound, being looked after by another neighbor.

So I guess that’s the story of how my budding love of sci-fi and computer graphics helped me dodge a bullet with a big fat ”DEATH” stamped on it.
I still love that movie.”

People Talk About When They Dodged Huge Bullets

Life can be a game of inches and a game of seconds.

You might be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe you took yourself out of a situation that was years in the making.

But we all barely escape danger or misery at some point in our lives…

Have you ever dodged a major bullet?

These AskReddit users sure have…let’s check out their stories.

1. Avoided a tragedy.

“I was booked on Pan Am flight 103 which went down over Locherbie Scotland.

I didn’t have a premonition or anything supernatural. I just decided to cancel my seat. Didn’t think anything of it until the plane went down and my mother had written down my flight plan and reminded me.

This was back in the day when you could cancel without a penalty up to a couple of days in advance.”

2. Fire hazard.

“I was subletting an apartment in college and got zapped by the electric stove.

Gave notice immediately and moved out with very clear reasons why I was moving out.

The building burned down a few weeks later.”

3. Bomb.

“In 1996 the IRA bombed the Arndale center in Manchester.

Myself and a group of friends were on a bus heading straight there. We were probably about ten to twenty minutes out.

The thing is, one of my friends was late. So we had to get on the bus just after the one we intended to get on. Guess where that bus was when the bomb went off?”

4. Bus crash.

“A bus.

I grew up in Bermuda, and since it is such a small island cars are limited to one per family, and everyone drives mopeds. I was driving into town, and came up to a red light behind a bus.

As is tradition, I scooted around the bus to be in the front of the line of traffic. Literally 2 seconds later a second bus smashed into the back of the first bus at like 30 mph.

I would have been pancaked. Without question, 100% dead. I just sat on the side of the road for a bit and thought about my mortality.”

5. You lucked out.

“My ex-girlfriend moved out of my house a day before the first lockdown in Spain.

She previously pulled a knife on me.”

6. Scary.

“A few months ago I was driving on I-80 at night when out of nowhere the biggest buck I’d ever seen is in the middle of my lane.

I did exactly what you’re not supposed to do and swerved, and thankfully managed to keep the rear of the car content with it.

I literally shaved that buck’s *ss. My mirror was folded in.

I know you’re not supposed to swerve, but I drive a tiny little thing and that buck’s body would’ve gone through my windshield into my and my wife’s face at 70 mph.”

7. Barely made it out.

“I found an explosive device in a National Guard training area when I was 14. It had little pull string and a metal plate to attach it to a tree.

I held the thing in my hand and almost pulled the string but decided to attach it to a tree instead and put on a longer pull string. I pulled the string and it blew a 5 inch hole in the tree.

The explosion was so loud the police came and it made the local news. (They didn’t catch me.) I would have lost at least one hand, maybe both or worse.”

8. Gut feeling.

“My first ever boyfriend dated me when I was 14 and he was 16.

We only dated for one week before he took me into the woods and forced me to kiss him. I started to feel ‘icky’ and broke it off that same day.

Five years later I found out that he was now in prison for r*ping two fourteen year old girls.”

9. A fork in the road.

“I was supposed to hang out with a couple of friends one night.

We were going to go to a party that we were all invited to the weekend before. I asked to get off work early so I could go to the party. My manager let me go early, so I went to go find my friends. But I had a really bad feeling all day and it just kept getting worse.

Instead of turning left to go to my friend’s house, I went right and went home. I found out a few weeks later that they got busted with cocaine in their car. They were 16 and 17 at the time. I was 18, so I would have been screwed.”

10. That’s wild.

“In 1996, my parents were deciding between two houses to move into.

They picked the new construction that resulted in being placed on shoddy soil and years of lawsuits when we ultimately moved in 2001.

Anyway, the other house they could’ve picked (presumably on better soil) would’ve placed my older sister at Columbine High School as a freshman for the 1998-1999 school year.”

11. Sketchy.

“Once at a bar a woman was surprisingly into me as we danced. If I had had more confidence back then I definitely could’ve taken her home.

In the end, one of my karaoke buddies ended up with her instead and got caught by her husband that night.”

12. Not a scratch.

“Driving along a road about 50 mph and a farm tractor comes out of a field straight into the side of me.

Spins my car and as I realise the car is going over I grip the steering wheel tight, close my eyes and brace myself for excruciating pain or death. The car rolls a few times then stops, upside down. I hang there by my seatbelt for a few stunned moments then realise I’m ok.

I walked away with not a single scratch or even a bruise. Car was destroyed, and all the emergency services who attended could not believe I was completely ok.”

People Talk About the Small Achievements They’d Like a Pat on the Back For

It’s nice to be recognized for your hard work and success once in a while, right?

And I’m not talking about having a parade or a lazer light show or anything, but just a small “nice job” every once in a while feels good…even if it’s not for something HUGE.

What small achievement would you like a pat on the back for?

Here’s what folks had to say on AskReddit.

1. All done!

“June 2020 – 14 exams left

October 2020 – 0 exams left.

They weren’t hardest exams in the world, but I think its pretty bad*ss achievement.”

2. Moving forward.

“It was my abusive ex boyfriend’s birthday the other day.

Normally it would’ve sent me into a cocoon of toxic emotions. This year it passed without me realizing/thinking about it.

Small win but felt powerful.”

3. Chase your dreams.

“It took me around maybe 5 or 6 years to start chasing my own dreams.

Spent my whole childhood following what I was told while conflicted about not wanting to do it at all.

Am now 19 about to turn 20 and am now dream chasing”

4. Slimming down.

“I’ve been fat for most of my life, at least the last 30 years.

This last 11 months or so I’ve been able to get a handle on my eating and I’ve lost 100 lbs. I still have a few more to go until I get to my goal, but I went from wearing XXL shirts to a Medium.

I never thought I’d be strong enough to do this, but here I am.”

5. Back to work.

“I worked my usual 40 hour week after being on sick leave due to a major depressive episode and being unable to work for several weeks before that.

At least my autopilot works again, for the time being.”

6. Language lessons.

“I’ve finally started a Japanese language course.

Wanted to learn for a long time, just recently dared to pull the trigger.

I hate studying from the bottom of my heart, it is difficult to find motivation.”

7. Slowly healing.

“Starting a new job, getting thrown into a whole new social atmosphere, right after a devastating painful break up with my now ex gf.

I had some really dark days at first. Serious internal struggles within myself. Didn’t think I was gonna last at this job. While I shoveled snow in the depressing midst of winter, my mind was dwelling on my ex and everything that happened, like being haunted by a demon. I had to put on fake smiles for everyone.

I felt like I was gonna fall into a depressive state or have a nervous breakdown. Dark times indeed. But I fought through it. Thankfully my new job is great, my co workers have become good supportive friends, I’m making good money, and the future awaits.

I can feel myself recovering from the breakup. I’m slowly healing day by day.”

8. Don’t let them pile up!

“Dishwasher broke down, and contrary to even my own expectations, I’ve been doing dishes by hand every night, instead of just letting them pile up until the repairman came.”

9. Busy in the kitchen.

“I started making my own pasta and pizza dough. It’s not as good as a professional, but I’m doing it myself and my daughter loves doing it with me.

We make a big batch of dough to last the week and make our own creative pizzas at night for dinner.

And I’m saving a ton of money on food too!”

10. Success!

“Coming up on 17 years at the same job.

It’s an employee owned company and I’m awarded stock every year. I’m well into the six figures.

I hope to make 30 years and retire.”

11. Keep it up!

“I’ve been meditating everyday for a month now.

It feels good!

Can’t stop, won’t stop.”

12. STRONG.

“My fitness journey after being addicted to X for 4 years and nobody even knew about it.

Been hitting the gym for 5 years straight now.”

13. Love yourself.

“Recently got over my body image!

Looking in the mirror I don’t see a physically unattractive person.

Took a while but It’s a weight off my mind!”

14. Finding happiness.

“I’m always mad or angry about something. I’m always tired of doing things and slightest inconvenience will make me hate everything around me.

I’ve been able to change my behavior for a week now.

I started gardening and biking and it really helps. Hopefully I can continue improving and find happiness even from little things.”

If You Could Learn the Truth About One Mystery, What Would You Choose?

I was flipping through the TV channels recently and I happened upon a show on National Geographic about the many conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination.

I have no answers or ideas really, but every single time I come across anything to do with what might have happened in Dallas on that day in 1963, I’m immediately sucked in.

And I know I’m not alone on that one!

People on AskReddit discussed the mysteries they want to know all about. Let’s take a look.

1. What are we missing?

“Some animals can’t see color cause they don’t have the right organs for it.

What are all of the aspects of life we’re missing out on cause we don’t have the organs to perceive them?”

2. What happened?

“The truth from when my gran died and the weeks leading up to it. She died on the 6th of December.

She cancelled her life insurance just days before her death Wrapped every single present for the whole family and name tagged them (over 30 family members) when she usually wrapped them on Xmas eve She worked in a small gift shop along with the owner- both of them died within 3 hours of each other.

Has puzzled me for years and hopefully some truth comes out before I pass away.”

3. A big one.

“The Panama Papers.

LOADS of wealthy people involved and murders attached to it, also.”

4. Monsters of the deep.

“What deep sea creatures exist that we haven’t found yet?

Just how big is the largest squid out there?”

5. A weird one.

“I gotta go with the first ever unsolved mystery that really made me think. Mystery of the Somerton Man.

In 1948 a guy was found dead on a beach in Adelaide, Australia. He was never identified and months after finding his body they found a fake pocket in his pants. It was torn from a copy of the book Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam (I googled that) and had a phrase on it which said “Tamam Shud” which means ended or finished in Persian.

They found the book that it came from but the owner denied ever knowing the guy. There was an encrypted message in the book that they found and it still hasn’t been cracked. Apparently there’s been a development recently that might identify him as H.C. Reynolds but it’s not 100% certain.

It’s super interesting.”

6. Didn’t check out.

“Jennifer Fairgate/Fergate.

It’s a fascinating mystery – a woman checks into the Oslo Plaza Hotel, a five-star establishment, and is found dead in her room three days later. Initially assumed to have committed a suicide, but there’s no blood on her hands, no gunshot residue, no fingerprints on the bullets in the gun or the gun itself, which in addition to the odd position in which she is found on her bed really starts looking more like homicide.

Additionally, no personal belongings in the room besides clothes, shoes, a travel bag and an attaché full of bullets. Clothes and shoes have all producer labels/designations removed as well.

Contents of her stomach indicate that she had died the day before she was found, but a member of staff who knocked on her door heard a gunshot go off right after that, indicating someone’s presence inside.

The door was also locked from the inside but no one was there when they got in. Probably my favourite true crime thing.”

7. Never came back.

“One day grandfather just walked out the door and never came back.

This was before I was born. He left behind my grandmother and his three children. There was a state-wide search. My mom’s family never got closure.

Although, I think he might’ve had another family that he ran away to. But it still baffles me sometimes at night. My grandmother finally held a pseudo-funeral/memorial for him last year.”

8. MK Ultra.

“I wanna know if they kept going at it with the MK Ultra thing and how they do it now if it is.

Everything we know about it comes from 20,000 files that were misplaced, causing them to be missed when they attempted to destroy all documentation of the program.”

9. Creepy.

“The Korovina Group.

Basically a group of seven hikers start hiking the mountains when six of them start bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. They all scream, start seizing, one even starts bashing their head on a rock. The remaining survivor flees, but later comes back to the bodies to get supplies. She’s found a few days later but refused to talk about it

A lot of people say its a deadly nerve agent that Russia was using (this happened in Siberia? I think) but that doesn’t explain why the last one survived, even going back and still being unaffected.”

10. Vanished.

“Harold Holt (Australian Prime Minister in the 1960’s) ‘disappeared’ while swimming at the beach.

He was never found.”

11. Missing persons.

“A man only a year older than me went missing in my town, right near my place of work a few years ago. He just disappeared. I remember seeing the missing posters and the police conducting searches.

It has been several years and he is still listed as missing. I think about him from time to time and wonder whatever happened to him. I’d want to know about him.

There are so many cases like his, I hope his family and the other families one day get answers.”

12. This one is eerie.

“The Yuba County 5

5 young mentally handicap men went missing. They were gone for months thout any clues other than a few mysterious phone calls saying not to look for them. Their vehicle was found up on a mountain road a few days after they went missing. It turned on and ran perfectly fine

They were finally found in a trailer deep in the mountains,the strange thing was the one full corpse that was found starved and froze to death when there was plenty of food, water and heat in the trailer to last all 5 boys a year.

Some of the food had been eaten showing that they hadn’t had a problem accessing the food. While they did have impairments, they were all independent and would have know how to turn on the heat and get food, call for help.

To add the mystery rhe 5th man’s body was never found and while the others were cognitively impaired he suffered from schizophrenia and had several disturbing incidents leading up to their disappearance.

The full corpse that was found was wearing this man’s shoes, but wasn’t him, the corpse had been wearing boots the night they disappeared and its believed that the man either stole them or talked the other young man into giving him his boots.

What happens to the 5th man? Why did the man in the trailer starve to death surrounded by food. Why did the other men leave the trailer and die just 100s of feet away from it when there was food and warmth so close.

Why did they leave the car to begin with? Why didn’t they follow the trail back to the road?”

Are there any urban legends you want to know the truth behind?

If so, tell us all about it in the comments.

Please and thank you!

People Discuss the Mysteries, Urban Legends, or Conspiracy Theories They Want to Know the Truth Behind

I love all kinds of mysteries, urban legends, and conspiracy theories.

Even if I don’t really believe in a particular story, I still think they’re fascinating to read about…and there are a ton of them out there to dive into.

What unsolved mysteries would you like to know the truth behind?

Let’s get weird with some folks on AskReddit.

1. Suddenly gone.

“I wanna know what happened to Louis Le Prince, the true inventor of the film camera.

Boarded a train but never left it.

No body found.”

2. What really happened?

“I would want to learn the truth around the Mothman and what people were seeing in the days leading up to the bridge collapse.”

3. D.B. Cooper.

“Assuming he died (are we allowed to learn two truths about one mystery?), where did most of D.B. Cooper’s ransom money end up after he jumped from that airplane?

I believe the FBI lets you keep it if you find it, as long as you give them a chance to analyze it for latent prints/DNA first.

Those bills must be worth a fortune to a collector. Even if they aren’t, I’ll still get tens of thousands of dollars in cash. Who doesn’t want that?

So, I get my name in the papers for finding Cooper’s money, and I get a nice chunk of change to keep. A double-whammy of good fortune.”

4. Who wrote it?

“Who wrote the Voynich Manuscript and why? And why was it written encoded or in an unknown language?

I like learning about weird mysteries in history and this is one that remains unsolved to this day despite quite extensive research through the centuries.”

5. Unsolved.

“There is this famous case in France where a bourgeois family was killed, except the father who disappeared.

He is of course the prime suspect, as the events they have reconstructed suggest he got the oldest son back home himself to kill him after the other family members has already been murdered. He buried them all under the terrace and they weren’t found right away, so he got a “head start” so to say.

It’s been years and no one knows what happened to him. There have been plenty of sightings, all over the country, but he looks very average and forgetable. A few years back, they thought they got him on a flight in (from?) Scotland, and didn’t show his picture until a few days later… and everyone who knows about the case wondered wtf was the police thinking, because the man who was arrested looks nothing like him.

Anyway, I’d like to know what happened to him and if he really did it. I have little doubt he did, but he went to such length to cover his tracks, sending letters to family members saying he and his family were relocating under witness protection in the US, or suggesting he was involved in a big case and couldn’t disclose his location etc…

Some people even believed the people buried in his yard were not his real family but morgue corpses with elements of DNA to link it to the family so they could escape/fake their death.

Netflix did an episode on it in their remastered Unsolved Mysteries (Season 1) if you want to know more about the case, it’s really interesting.”

6. Rabbit holes.

“So many rabbit holes to go down.

What did they find in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947

Who killed Jon Benet Ramsey?

Who was the Zodiac Killer?

What happened to Walter Collins?

Who killed the Black Dahlia?

Where or what happened to Flight 370?”

7. A true crime mystery.

“The Jon Benet Ramsey one just sits on my brain sometimes!

She was born the same year as my little brother so when she died it was so hard to not be caught up in it.

It really bugs me that we still don’t have a definitive answer of who did it.”

8. A bunch of them.

“There are so many that I wonder about.

Did the British intentionally let the Germans sink the Lusitania to bring the US into WW1?

Did FDR have advance warning of Pearl Harbor, but did nothing?

What really happened to Hitler’s remains after he killed himself?

What really happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald to cause her to sink?

What caused the Moorgate Crash?

But probably above all else, the one I always wonder about:

What happened to that kid I witnessed being kidnapped when I was 7, and my parents forbade me from talking to the police about?”

9. Fascinating.

“The Zodiac Killer.

Not just his identity. His psychology, his motives, his planning, his affiliations.

I want every detail of that sh*t.”

10. Very strange…

“The Max Headroom signal 1987.

I want to know…

Some people who worked in the television industry at that time have said that it was impossible for an outsider to pull it off.

It had to have been done by someone who was knowledgeable about TV signals and had access to all the equipment, which wasn’t publicly available in 1987.”

11. A scary one.

“The disappearance of Lars Mittank in 2014. Read about it somewhere years ago and it still bothers me sometimes.

I try to sum it up: German tourist is on vacation in Croatia, gets into a little bar fight over soccer, gets injured on his ear. Doctor tells him not to fly until fully recovered, friends leave without him after he insists, that he’ll be fine without them.

He checks in into a hotel and suddenly shows serious signs of Paranoia and one day later he calls his mother, whispering that he is being followed by four men, that are trying to kill him. After some time, he can finally fly back and enters the airport, seemingly “back to normal”. This is covered by the airport cameras.

He even talks with someone inside the airport like everything’s normal. He then leaves the camera angle for a second with all of his luggage in his hand and just seconds later he runs full speed out of the airport, leaving his luggage behind just like that. In front of the airport he stands there shortly like he is looking for something, then he continues to run in a specific direction, clips over a decently high fence and disappears in a sunflower field and is never seen again, nor is his body.

The most realistic scenario is that he had some kind of concussion or brain damage from the hit that injured his ear, but his friends described him as perfectly normal after the incident. There are so many things weird and not fitting in this case.

Most of the media coverage is in German unfortunately but if you’re really interested I am sure you’ll find a more detailed article or video about it in English.”

Woman Asks if She Was Wrong for Telling Her Sister How Much She Really Hates Her

Sibling rivalry…you think you’ve heard it all before…

But there’s always a new tale to tell with a fresh spin!

And this one comes to us from a woman who had a spat with her sister and told her what she really thinks of her…but now she’s wondering if she went too far.

Let’s take a look at this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page.

AITA for telling my sister she’s the worst thing to ever happen to me and I hate her even if she’s changed/gotten help?

“I (31f) don’t like my sister “Kate” (37f).

She treated me like sh*t as kids and it got worse as we got into middle/high school. Around that time she started drinking/doing drugs. And when she was 17 she ran off to live with her party friends. From then to 22 she only called to ask for money.

At 22 she fell off the earth and we didn’t hear from her until at 25 she came home sobbing, looking strung out. She begged for forgiveness and swore to get clean. We felt bad and took her in. For a year she was better. She got a job and was going to the methadone clinic.

One day mom and I were visiting a family friend 8 hours away and when we got home Kate and all her stuff + anything of value that wasn’t nailed down was gone. My laptop, our jewelry, tvs, dvd players, etc. An hour later grandpa called and said his water was shut off.

We went to check it out and found the cover by the street side water valve open and the meter inside shut off. Luckily we checked inside before turning it back on because all the copper pipes had been stolen. It was obvious Kate robbed us all and skipped town. We called the cops to report it but cest la vie.

A year later our grandpa died, leaving his things to Mom. He also left me some money. Sadly Mom was a wreck the next 4 years before she passed of a heart attack. She left everything but $150 (which she left to Kate) to me. I was destroyed after.

If it weren’t for my friends I don’t know what would have happened to me. During all this Kate only called twice. Once a week after mom died to see if she was left anything (I’ll admit I screamed at her) and once a year later to ask for money (I hung up on her).

She recently Dm’d me and apologized for how she’d acted before/after mom passed. Then she told me she hit rock bottom after our last call and OD’d and died for 3 minutes before being revived.

She said it motivated her to get clean stay clean in the years since. She wrote how she wanted to make things right between us and she didn’t want to lose her last family member.

I understand addiction is terrible and just because you’re an addict it doesn’t make you evil/bad. And they deserve second chances too. But that being said, I hate Kate. I can’t recall a single good memory with her. They’re all bad.

This is where I might be the AH. I wrote her back and told her so. I said I’d send her the money mom left her but I wanted her out of my life and as far as I was concerned I was an only child with no remaining blood family and that she was honestly the worst thing to every happen to me and I wouldn’t p*ss on her if she was on fire. I just said everything I’d bottled up for years.

My friend said I was too harsh and could regret not trying to make amends. I could be wrong, maybe my anger and grief are clouding my judgement. I know people change and maybe I should be giving her another chance.

So AITA?”

Here’s how folks responded on Reddit.

This person said that the woman is not wrong here and that she really doesn’t owe her sister anything.

Person Said People Can’t Be “Woke” if They’re Wrong. Are They an A-hole?

You sure hear the word “woke” thrown around a lot lately.

Which is a good thing because it means people are becoming more aware of people different from themselves and they’re learning to become more accepting.

But is it always a good thing? Especially when people are using it the wrong way?

Let’s take a look at this story from the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit and see what happened…

“AITA for telling my roommate’s GF that she’s not woke if she’s wrong?”

“Husband (28M) & I (25F) are ethnically Chinese from a SEA country living overseas.

We rent a house with SO’s college friend who moved his gf (Anna) in during lockdown & she’s been with us ever since (with landlord’s permission & she pays her share of bills). They’re not Asians, which matters.

Anna was initially nice, but started acting very weirdly a month after she moved in:

Telling SO & I that we can practice our ‘real’ religion (which apparently is Buddhism, not Christianity even though SO & I come from Christian families). She even bought incense (which gives me migraines) & a random Buddha statue. We politely explained to her that we’re not Buddhists, but she continued to insist & promised that she didn’t mind.

Telling SO & I that we can speak our ‘real’ language cause she overheard SO’s family talking to us in a mix of English & Cantonese. I explained to her that I can’t speak Cantonese (SO can) even though I can understand it.

She was, for some reason, really disappointed in me & said that I was throwing my heritage away. Plot twist: my own father is only comfortable speaking English.

Buying raw internal organs for SO & I to cook, even though we don’t eat those. I told her we don’t eat that (not our thing), & she was again disappointed.

She told us she read that there were lots of nice recipes & maybe we haven’t found the right one to remind us of home. SO told her he’s never eaten it ever in his life, & I’ve never liked it. She was really upset, but had to toss it since no one was gonna eat it

Chinese New Year was when things got really really weird. She started ordering ‘decorations’. I wouldn’t mind, but she had ordered hell notes (the ones burned for deceased ancestors). I immediately told her to stop pasting them all over the walls because they were weirding me out.

She ordered banners with SO & my name on it (some bast*rdization of our legal English names) but they were written on white banners (again, for deceased people). I told her to please take it down. She got upset (again), but then ordered kabuki masks. I told her that those masks were not Chinese, & she just snapped. She started yelling at me that I should be helping her & not critiquing what she was doing. I told her:

She never asked.

CNY is not a big deal to me, so I wasn’t planning on decorating but if she had asked, I would have helped

She never asked.

I told her I don’t understand her fixation with us. She said she wanted to surprise me & SO, that we’ve been so ‘colonised’ we’ve forgotten our roots, & that we should be embracing our culture.

I told her it was a nice gesture, but she needs to stop forcing stereotypes down our throats. She could have just asked & she’s not being woke when she’s getting everything wrong.

She burst into tears & brought in her bf. He understood where I was coming from, but thought I could have been nicer. SO stands by me, & now things have been tense, but I’ve been tolerating this for a while now & it was getting on my nerves.”

Hmmmm….let’s see how Reddit users responded.

This reader called the woman a racist, plain and simple.

Another Reddit user said that the woman is not only being racist, but is “fetishizing her identities.” Let that one sink in…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader pointed out that the woman is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels.

This person really hit the nail on the head!

Finally, this person said that the woman in the story reminds her of someone from her own life…and that they enforce harmful stereotypes.

Now we want to hear from you.

Was this woman an *sshole in this situation?

Tell us what you think in the comments. Thanks!

A Man Wants To Know If He’s Wrong for Telling His Daughter Why He Wasn’t in Her Life

You hear stories all the time about moms and dads not being in their kids’ lives for one reason or another, but this one is a little bit different.

A father took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to ask if he was wrong for telling his 19-year-old daughter the truth about why he wasn’t in her life while she was growing up.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for telling my daughter the truth about why I wasn’t in her life?

“To start, my ex and I were 19 when she got pregnant. We had recently broke up and she found out a couple weeks later that she was pregnant. She said she planned to get an abortion but only wanted her sister there.

So I was always under the belief that she had aborted. She only contacted me once saying it was done and we didn’t speak again.

Fast forward 19 yrs later, I found out a month ago that was a lie. My ex passed away 3 years ago and my daughter Kara has been living with her uncle.

He was the one to reach out to give me a heads up after she expressed an interest in wanting us to connect. He and I spoke at length because I was feeling some pretty strong emotions like rage for never being told about her.

My ex had backed out of the abortion but didn’t want me involved because we were broken up so decided just not to tell me. But he told me that Kara doesn’t know about that. Apparently I wasn’t ready for fatherhood because we were both young so I bailed.

I couldn’t believe it. Rob (her uncle) told me he knows his sister was wrong for that but promised Kara doesn’t have any negative feelings towards me and my ex never painted me as some villain, just a young guy who knew he couldn’t properly care for her.

He asked me not to tell Kara this when we talk if she asks and because it could hurt the way she saw her mom. I never actually confirmed I would.

Kara messaged me and we’ve been talking. I’ve met her twice and it’s been crazy emotional. Looking at this girl who looks just like me and hurting that we’re just barely getting to know each other

So far our conversations have only been about what her life was like, how my life is, what her wants/future goals are, and getting to know each other.

We met again Tuesday and she finally decided to ask the obvious questions about what made me not be involved. How did I feel, what went through my mind, did I ever think about her,etc.

I had been thinking about what to do but in that moment I just didn’t have it in me to lie so I was honest. That I was told about the abortion, had no idea she even existed until now, but that I still really want to be in her life and have the chance to be her father if she wants that. Kara was a bit emotional, we talked some more, and said she still wants me involved.

That night my messages were blowing up. Not just from rob but her grandparents as well. They’re all outraged for telling Kara about her mom because she yelled at all of them and is refusing to even take their calls.

Yes, the lie was terrible but I just ruined the image she had of her late mother for my own benefit. Rob called me a selfish d*ck for not taking into consideration how this would affect Kara finding out about this.

So right now I feel like sh*t. I get “honesty is the best policy” but in this case I don’t know if I was an *sshole for doing it. I’m still learning this whole “dad” business so don’t know if I dropped the ball here.”

Here’s how folks on Reddit responded to the story.

This person said that the man is not wrong here: his ex clearly created this whole mess.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that this story is even worse than the typical “deadbeat dad” story because the girl was lied to from the very beginning.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that the man is definitely not the *sshole here and that the entire family lied to the girl about what really happened.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another individual said that the man who wrote the story really had no good choices here, but it wasn’t his fault. He was ultimately put into this situation because of the lies of his ex and her family.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And finally, this Reddit users said that the man had to tell the truth and another lie would have prevented him from having any real relationship with his daughter in the long run.

Do you think this man was wrong in his actions?

Or was he justified?
