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.”

She Got a Woman Banned From the Gym for Gross Comments. Was She Wrong?

Some people just don’t know where to draw the line…or when to stop talking.

And this story is a real doozy…

A woman took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to ask if she was wrong for getting someone banned from her gym for making incredibly inappropriate comments.

Take a look at what happened.

AITA for reporting another woman for s*xual comments she made and getting her banned from our gym?

“I have been back to the gym now that we are zero cases in my area. I have been a member of this gym for over 3 years and I regularly work out with two other women. One of the women recently brought along her friend who is new to the area.

The four of us worked out together and everything seemed fine. The problem started when we got into the change room. The woman’s change rooms are open with one section of lockers and benches and one section for showers. The toilets are a completely different room not accessible by the change room.

This layout leaves very little privacy. The showers are all just against a wall with no curtain. This leads to seeing a lot of nude or half-dressed woman.

We all went into the change room together and the new woman immediately made some uncomfortable comments. The first thing she said was “I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven” referencing the undressed state of woman in the room.

I always shower after a workout but the other two women live close to the gym and usually don’t. I went to shower when the others stayed in the change area. Because it’s such a small and open space, even in the showers you can hear the talking the change room.

As I showered I hear that the new woman was making comments about my body. I heard her say “She has my favourite body, flat ti*s and a fat *ss”. “Try calling her name, I want her to turn around so I can see her p*ssy” (I was facing towards the shower head).

The other two woman were laughing and encouraging her comments. I have left out the more innocuous ones due to character limit on the post.

I stayed in the shower until they left. On my way out I stopped by the front desk and asked if I could make a complaint. They took me to the back office and I told the manager, whom I know well, what had happened. She was understanding and told me that the woman would have her (brand new) membership revoked as her comments broke several of the gym rules.

I got a text from one of the woman the next day telling me that her friend had gotten her membership cancelled and was wondering if I knew anything. I was honest and told her that I heard what she had said while I was in the shower and had reported her.

I was called immediately and she seemed both angry and confused. She told me that the girl had just been joking around. That the comments were just to them and I wasn’t meant to hear them. She also called me a stuck up homophobic b*tch.

The other woman also sent me a long message about how disappointed she was in me and she didn’t think that I was “one of those”. She said in her message that I should have come to them before reporting to the gym and the fact I didn’t said a lot about my character.

The messages really have made me feel terrible. I feel like I’ve done something wrong.

Was I the *sshole here?”

This is really gross, if I do say so myself…

And here’s what Reddit users had to say about it.

This person said that this was harassment, plain and simple.

Another Reddit user said that the woman did nothing wrong and that this shouldn’t be tolerated just because it’s between women.

This individual argued that the woman was not wrong getting this person banned and she also isn’t homophobic.

Another person didn’t think they were the a-hole.

Finally, this reader argued that sexual harassment doesn’t have anything to do with gender and that the woman was WRONG.

Enjoy 10 of the Most Ridiculous Tinder Conversations Ever

Tinder was launched about nine years ago which means soon enough we’ll be marking a decade it’s been with us on this strange little planet and still I can’t quite grasp what it’s all about, or how to navigate it.

Sometimes it seems like a nice way to meet people, other times it handles like a straight-up hookup machine, and still other times it feels like some sort of game to just see who can have the weirdest conversation.

We’re dealing with that last category with this collection of convos.

10. Megan

Oh how the turntables…

9. In the bag

I thought this was an elaborate setup for some sort of wordplay, but nope.

8. Pickup lines

“It’s a match! She already hates you!”

7. Cat’s out of the bag

The man is a master negotiator.

6. So happy

Why are you trying to screw this up, my man?

5. You win

And everybody told ME that my “dumb improv classes” would “make nobody want to date me.”

4. The fun suck

How dare you ruin this for me.

3. The doctor is in

I also find that confusing. Like…what am I supposed to do with this information? How does this influence my actions?

2. Updog

Sometimes the oldest jokes are the worst jokes.

1. Just plane wrong

Pull up, dude, pull up.

Love it or hate it, I think Tinder might be with us for quite a while longer.

Woman Asks if She’s Wrong for Calling Out Her Friend for Getting an STD

Some things are just off-limits during conversations…even if that dialogue has turned into an argument.

And a woman shared a story on the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit asking whether she was wrong or not for calling out her friend about her s*xual behavior.

Let’s see what happened…

AITA for telling my friend she got an STD from sleeping around?

“I was hanging out with a friend of mine and a group of her friends. We were all talking and having drinks, and the topic of dating comes up in conversation.

For some background information; I’ve only had one boyfriend (I’m 24) we dated for 4 years, and broke up about a year ago. I’m mostly a loner. I’m fine with being single right now and have no interest in dating at the moment. My friend knows this.

She starts lightly teasing me in front of her friends, pretty much calling me a spinster. She “dates” a lot. Every week she tells me about two or so guys that she’s slept with. This kind of started a pile on, where everyone was teasing me, and giving me unsolicited advice. I tried to placate it, but she kept bringing the conversation back to me and my (lack of) a sex life.

Eventually I got really heated, and just said “so is your crotch still burning or is that cleared up? What did they say about that? Was it guy 104 or 105 that gave it to you?”

Like three weeks ago she called me crying to take her to the clinic because she had painful itchy blisters on her groin, turned out to be herpes. I did it without judging her at the time.

She quickly stood up and left the table. I tried to follow her to apologize and she went off about me outing her to her friends. She was telling me how I was the only person she trusted, and she couldn’t believe I would act that way. I tried to remind her how she and her friends were dog piling me, and she said it was just jokes, I didn’t have to react that way.

We are obviously not speaking right now. Was what I did justifiable self defense? I know I probably wouldn’t have done it without liquid courage.”

Here’s how folks reacted on Reddit.

This person said that everyone involved in this story sucks. Plain and simple.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that everyone is at fault here, but the woman who wrote the post is the bigger *sshole.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader argued that the woman went way too far with her comments about her friend.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this Reddit user made a good point: medical issues should never be used against someone.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person said that the woman made the wrong choice by making the woman’s issues public and that she is clearly immature and untrustworthy.

What do you think?

Was this person wrong or justified in their actions?

Tinder Memes for Everyone Who’s a Little Tired of the Games

Are you tired of chasing people around in circles on Tinder? Well, you’re not alone.

I mean, I guess you probably ARE alone, and that’s why you’re spending so much time on Tinder, but the broader point I was trying to make is that there are many who commiserate with you. We get it. And in fact, we get it so much that we just gotta meme about it.

Here are some memes for the heartsick and the sick of sh*t.

10. The conundrum

I thought this only counted when it was what *I* wanted.

9. Just keep swimming

They say there are plenty of fish in the sea, but he’s after just one.

8. Dog farm

I’m sorry, does that profile picture feature two of you?

7. Third wheels

I’ve come to bargain.

6. Tall tales

Guess that really says it all, doesn’t it?

5. Matchmaker

Soon we will start a fire and dance in the ashes of the fallen.

4. Costco membership

Ok but why does that date stamp say this picture is from 1998?

3. Bringing home the bacon

Or fish, as the case may be. The easy way.

2. Compare and contrast

You tiny people and your tiny problems.

1. Don’t spoil the endgame

They got Thanos, you get me.

Via: Ah See It

Well, that was a fun romp down dating lane. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get back to hopeless and furious swiping.

People Share Stories About the Downfall of Their School’s “Popular Girl”

When I say “popular girl” you can probably immediately call to mind someone from high school or middle school that you had very mixed feelings about.

It’s no surprise that that sort of popularity can be a precarious thing to hold onto, and that it can disappear as quickly as it forms.

What made the popular guy/girl lose their popularity? from AskReddit

So what makes popular girls lose it all? Redditors tell their stories.

1. The Bald Fighter

She started a fight with another popular girl over something petty.

The other popular girl, unbeknownst to us all, practiced a martial art and delivered with one hand the most beautiful, graceful punch that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing whilst pulling out a chunk of hair with the other.

The other girl was suspended and skyrocketed higher than ever while the popular girl who started the fight became little more than a laughing stock with a temporary bald spot.

– PerpetuallyVerdant

2. The Gossip Victim

Student president called our residential nice girl a b*tch. You know, the sweet heart who is kind to everyone, the girl that every guy has a crush on.

Small school so gossip ran through the halls like nothing else, but I’ve never seen the tables turn so viciously and decidedly.

– HereForTheBadCompany

3. The Drunk Driver

Popular girl was driving drunk on the way to school. And caused a pretty bad accident involving 3 other cars. She spilled liquor on herself and slammed on her brakes in a line of cars.(Her car managed not to have a scratch). She swaps seats with her passenger in front of everyone, before cops arrive.

A few minutes later we realize she has disappeared. She had slipped into another car that had stopped to see if everyone was okay.

Several people ended up getting tickets and her passenger ended up getting a dui. She was unpopular until graduation.

– Upbeat_Sir_6220

4. The Friend

I was the popular one until year 11 when my best friend started struggling with depression and became suicidal. Everyone started bullying her after she tried to kill herself, I stuck by her and got her to deactivate her social medias and stayed with her through lunch/recess to make sure she didn’t get cornered by a certain few girls.

For some reason this p*ssed literally my whole year group off and they started to attack my social media instead. I kinda just avoided most people in school from then onwards.

(For anyone curious about my friend she’s doing great now and really pulled herself out of it)

– N3ssaW

5. The Bully

Way back when I was in school a girl who was quite popular decided she could make fun of another kids Down syndrome sibling in front of her friends.

Well the popular kids in my school weren’t jerks so they didn’t laugh and literally turned their backs on her.

She was a loner for the rest of the year and went goth the next then moved.

It wasn’t funny at the time nor is is funny now.

– 99probz84

6. The Jerk

A girl in my home town was always picking on this guy in her class, making fun of his last name, picking on his mom and his little brother, nothing physically, I think people just thought it was a bit of ribbing nothing so bad anyone felt the need to intervene.

Then one day, his family was in a car accident, and he was the only one to survive. When he came back to school, she said something like, “couldn’t even get dying right, (insert name she used to pick on him)” it was so bad after that she switched schools, but her reputation followed her. She tried rushing a sorority in college, but wouldn’t ya know, the story followed her there too

– Bangbangsmashsmash

7. The Mama

We had two or three over the 4 years get pregnant.

They no longer went to all the parties with a kid to look after.

– MTAlphawolf

8. The Royalty

I went to the same school as the kids of the prime minister of my country at the time.

I didn’t know the daughter too well but apparently she went from being popular to being bullied out of the school when her dad lost the election.

It was pretty sad that people starting hating on her for something she had no control over.

– HockeyBoyz3

9. The Partier

This one “popular” girl in HS got so drunk at a party that she just started sh*tting herself everywhere.

Some friends drove her home and she did it again in the back seat. Not easily forgotten.

But it was one of those things no one would say anything about it’s just that the entire school knew knew by Monday afternoon.

– CashingOutInShinjuku

10. The Innocent

Her mom came to a school meeting and told everyone she suffers from mild-autism

– pulpheroe

11. The Bullied

There was a girl who was super popular all throughout middle school. Then this rumor started that she had tempted her dog into sexual acts with peanut butter. The rumor STUCK too, like all throughout school people would say her name and then say “Peanut butter (insert name)”, like people would write on the white boards and everything. I saw her leave class in tears multiple times. It was horrible. The dog was a cocker spaniel too, which obviously did not help.

The tea, however was our school junior and senior year offered this like special program where half the school got exclusive invites to spend the day “making a difference”. Literally it was called Re-Do day and it was apparently pretty intense. It was designed to have people come together and accept differences and stuff which was kind of stupid considering the absolute abysmal lack of diversity in my school, but I digress.

I was never invited so this part is second-hand, but apparently during the open mic portion where people make admissions and like “come clean” her twin brother took the mic and fully ADMITTED it was he who started the rumor. That was why the rumor had stuck so hard and f*cking RUINED this girl’s whole high school life. Sh*t was wild.

– dried-mangoes

12. The Forgetful

When I was in 6th grade one of my classmates brought $90ish to school. They were going to go shopping after school. She was the most popular girl in class. At some point during the course of the day the money went missing. Our teacher went right to the superintendent’s office right across the hall from our class. (This was a super small school where there were only 212 kids total from Kindergarten on up to 12th grade.)

Within minutes they had pulled us all out of class and separated out the boys and the girls. The 5th grade teacher took the girls into the bathroom three at a time and strip searched them, and the superintendent handled all of us boys. I didn’t take the money, but I got in a stall, locked it and refused to come out. I had some serious skidmarks going on that day and no one on this earth needed to go rooting around in my underpants. He finally gave up and let me go. The cops showed up a few hours later and interviewed all of us one by one.

A few weeks later it got out that she forgot to bring the money to school, and it was home in her bedroom the whole time. Despite us being in a rural area and the next nearest school being 30 miles away, the backlash was bad enough that her parents pulled her out of school and sent her to the next town over. In retrospect, people f*ck up, and our anger at her was misplaced compared to the mountain of lawsuits that should have come down on the superintendent.

– rragnaar

13. The Beauty Queen

She was a bit of a b*tch. Pretty as a picture but dim as a dark room. Once people saw how she really was as a person, i.e. using her looks to get what she wanted and throwing a hissy fit once she didn’t get it, caused people to lose interest real quick.

I actually met her about a decade after we graduated and she was a completely different person. Really humble and gentle. Actually a lot more clever than she appeared. No idea what she’s doing now.

– beardedgamerdad

14. The Mentally Unstable

i was the popular girl. developed full blown schizophrenia my sophomore year of high school and had a spiral that rivaled a hollywood movie.

by the time i graduated everyone knew me as the weird, crazy witch girl who talked to herself and had no friends.

now i’m out of high school, stable, on my meds, with people in my life who love me, and i haven’t thought about popularity since. life is wild

– batty_bates

15. The Simple Story

As soon as school ended everyone stopped pretending to like her.

– Zealousideal-Bar-540

Be kind to each other. We’re all just tryin’ to live out here.

Stories About How the “Popular Guy” at School Lost it All

When you’re in high school or middle school or even college, there are some people who are so popular that their fall from grace can seem almost impossible…

…right up until it happens.

What made the popular guy/girl lose their popularity? from AskReddit

Here are fifteen stories from Reddit of popular guys who came pariahs real fast.

1. The Class Clown

Him and another kid from our school got busted for picking up two middle school girls from the local mall and taking them to a motel.

He used to be the class clown and on the announcements and everything, but the dude was an untouchable from then on. I don’t even remember if he graduated.

2. The Thief

Wouldn’t say he was “popular” as this was college, but everyone knew him and he well liked. All around really friendly, the life of the party, and just a very open person.

He stole money from A LOT of people and it was all at once.

So it was a film school. We were on a project filing at a house. The bottom floor, which was just a room and the garage, is where people stored all their stuff, like book bags and equipment that was not currently being used. This guy went through everyones stuff and stole any cash he could find. I lost only 5 bucks- though when I got home that night and couldn’t do laundry I was a bit peeved- but some kids lost hundreds. There were people always coming and going in that space and it was only the crew so no one thought the stuff was unsafe down there.

I was down there at some point just taking a snack break with another person and saw him going through bags. He made up some BS that he was looking for his friends bag and her car keys. At the time I believed him and didn’t think anything more of it till it came out that people were missing money.

He was of course found out bc I was not the only one who saw him rifling through stuff, and it turned out he was a serious drug addict. I’m talking heroin drug addict, they found his stash when going through his dorm room. He was dismissed from the school and that’s the last I heard of him. Wonder what happened to him… Also never got my 5 bucks back.

3. The Wounded

A popular boy cried in class during a discussion about a recent tragedy because someone that was close to him died in said tragedy. He got relentlessly bullied for the short time afterward that he was at that school. He was a good kid that didn’t deserve any of that.

I really hate middle school kids sometimes.

4. The Prankster

He was popular for doing dumb pranks and shit. He had a devil may care attitude to everything, and was Really Attractive. That wasn’t the reason he was popular, but it helped.

Then he sprayed his displeasure over his recent break up with his well liked girlfriend, who was a kind soul, on her car with spray paint.

Suddenly he lost his crew, because they felt it was too far. He also rendered himself undateable because he had proved he was unstable and jealous. He literally went from a God to “that creep”

5. The Punk

He was popular among the group of people he was associated with, I don’t think he was super popular or anything. Punk/grunge kid.

All his popularity went out the window when he went out the window of his car, after he crashed it into a building because he was huffing paint and speeding down the road with one of the “groups’” popular girls.

Thankfully she survived, but from what I recall he wasn’t remembered so fondly after that.

6. The Cameraman

Kid made a video for a school project, which he played in front of the class….project video ended and cut to him beating his meat.

He was a freshman, he spent the remainder of HS known only as “ the cameraman “.

7. The Casanova

This senior got suspended cause he f*cked a freshman in the parking lot

8. The Addict

Word got out that this kid stole from his grandparents for drug money

9. The Chaser

He got super high one night. Got in his car with his friends. They thought they were getting chased by the police, ended up losing control of their car and drove it through someone’s house. He lost one of his fingers in the accident but fortunately no one else was seriously harmed. They were all removed from the baseball (etc.) teams that they were on.

10. The Assaulter

He whipped his d*ck out during class and put it on the shoulder of the girl who was sitting in the desk in front of him.

He got kicked out immediately and I believe charges pressed for sexual assault. We were a couple of weeks from graduating too.

11. The It-Kid

Freshman year of high school. Very popular guy who was the it-kid freshman phenom WR on a nationally ranked team.

We were all leaving class one day. He randomly decided it was a good idea to make fun of a very well-loved handicapped guy who was dying of his condition (some advanced form of water on the brain if I remember correctly) and even decided to punch him. This knocked the poor kid to the ground.

About 10 guys immediately jumped him. A shop teacher saw it (the WR getting his) happen and let it continue for a minute before stopping things. Mr. Popular got quite messed up in that short window.

Kicked off team. Expelled. Moved schools in a move that I’m guessing was a way to start over at a new school??? Never heard from him again.

Went from pep rally king to degenerate outcast in 5 minutes. I had a front row seat and was one of 50+ who testified to the school admins.

The victim passed away later that school year from his condition. You almost never heard him speak, but when he did he was always kind and thoughtful.

– Ponchoreborn

12. The Criminal

Guy wasn’t exactly extremely popular to begin with… but was well known.

He punched some girl at my school in the face for no reason at a concert.

Shortly after this, there was news that he rolled his brand new Camaro going 95 in a 45. This caused him and another guy at our school a lot of injuries. His friend lost his entire ear in the accident. Oh and this was right after they stole beer from Kroger… they were drunk driving.

Anyways, people kept their distance after this.

13. The Athlete

tall, good looking, foreign exchange student showed up one year with a killer smile and some impressive soccer skills. Never thought I’d see school girls giggle and follow around boys in a crowd like they do in TV shows but this guy made it happen.

He abruptly stopped showing up one day after a few months.

Don’t know 100% what happened, but the rumor was that he got sent back for putting some pretty serious racist symbols in a poetry/art project thinking it would be a funny joke.

– HornedTwiddle

14. The Richie Rich

He was a new kid but due to his looks, parents wealth, and sports aptitude he quickly became popular. Then he made the mistake of bullying a harmless kid who was on the spectrum and was basically the football teams lucky charm.

They did not take kindly to that and he went from being the next big thing to being that kid no one wanted to talk to and he had to basically bribe people to keep them around.

– amalgamas

15. The…Um…

He f*cked a dog

– thompsonm1a1

Welp. I’d like to know nothing more about that last one, please.

Do you have a story like this about a guy from your school?

Things That Millennials Absolutely Can’t Refute

I think we passed the point a while ago where the term “millennial” just became synonymous with “bummer.”

The boomers called us lazy, the Gen Xers tried to be supportive but got confused, and now Gen Z is sitting on Twitter picking apart every prosaic and mundane facet of Millennial existence to drag through the mud.

But for all that, I gotta admit…they’re not wrong.

10. Like a boss

And yet it never quite happens.

9. Who lives in a White House?

Recent events have allowed me to rewatch West Wing with a feeling of general disappointment rather than nauseated despair, so that’s something.

8. Can’t react

7. Serious business

We’re all still playing grown up games because we know we’ll never actually get there.

6. Get woke

I mean, it’s a decent first step.

5. Tick tock, tick tock

We know what it is, we just don’t understand it.

4. Spread the love

I mean yeah man, that’s the internet.

3. Carb up

Please just allow me this bright spot of happiness, I ask for so little.

2. Paws for reflection

For the record I’ve never been on board with this.

1. What a twist!

You fools, you’ve fallen right into our trap!

Maybe we should just do a rebranding. Some people call us Generation Y, and that seems to confuse folks enough that maybe it’ll just help us blend in. Let’s become the New Coke of ourselves. Nothing else has worked.

What’s the best or worst thing about your generation?

This is Why Millennials Can’t Stop Themselves From Doing These Things

Something Gen Z seems to be pretty into lately is dragging Millennials on Twitter. And by dragging, I mean mostly just pointing out banal things that we do in an accusatory tone.

And yanno, that’s fine. I’m here for it. I’ll even add to the conversation, if you want. Our behavior really isn’t quite so baffling once you hear some explanations for where it comes from.

Let’s try doing a bit of that now.

10. A game of tag

We never really got the hang of how to strategically get views so we just throw everything at the wall.

9. My Favorite Murder

We’re so used to witnessing and contemplating corruption and destruction that it’s basically recreational for us now.

8. Back in my day

We’re just reflecting on back when it seemed fun and cool and not like the harbinger of the end of society.

7. Adult content

Because our own adulthoods have been stunted by the failure of a million societal promises.

6. See hear now

If you’d seen the insane change in technology that we witnessed, you’d still be thinking about it too.

5. Say cheese

It’s one of the only affordable ways we can feel sophisticated.

4. Up where the air is rarefied

It’s one of the only affordable ways we can feel luxurious.

3. The grunge

Believe it or not, bad quality photos of people screwing up their lungs was what we were taught was cool.

2. So much winning

We have so few actual wins in life, just let us have this.

1. Booty call

Wait, doesn’t everybooty?

I hope that clears some things up for you.
