Top threads this week

  1. I have been using a hotel pool for free for 3 years by pretending to be a guest

    I live across the street from a 4-star hotel. In 2021, I found a security gap: they don't scan keys at the spa entrance, they just ask for your room number. I remembered room 312 (just saw it on...

  2. Some secrets are kept to protect those we love. This is mine.

    When I was 20 years old, my father shared a secret with me that has weighed on my heart every day for the last two decades. I think about it several times a week. To understand it, you have to go...

  3. How my sex addiction developed, took away my legs (im paralyzed) and still, to this day, gives me a hard time changing.

    Throwaway, obviously. From like first or second grade I was already stealing kisses and copping feels from girls in class. By third I had two little girlfriends on the school bus. Then I started...

  4. I ruined my sister’s chance at “good” wedding gifts

    My sister embezzled about $40K from our father as he was dying (long story, but in short I couldn’t PROVE he didn’t gift it to her though I KNEW he didn’t). She has a long history of losing jobs...

  5. My friends totaled a moving van and U-Haul never noticed

    This happened well over a decade ago, and I still feel hesitant to talk about it openly. I had no legal connection to this vehicle; it wasn't in my name and I was not the driver, just a friend...

  6. I abandoned a girl in the middle of the night as a teenager

    I met a girl in wareham high school around age 14-15. I believe her name was Natalie. She wasn’t bad looking. Chubby. Braces. But I was young and shallow so I never paid her much attention. A few...

  7. I let myself get hit by a car to test if my suicide plan would be successful

    I DO NOT CONDONE any of the following methods to deal with suicidal thoughts/tendencies. Long story short, I used to be incredibly numb. Nothing brought me joy, I stopped caring about everything,...

  8. I’m faking that I graduated from university for my parents

    This is my fifth year of college (I transferred universities so I had to do an extra year to accommodate for the credits that didn’t transfer) I told my parents that I am graduating this semester...

  9. I’m 19 and I lost control during a street fight. I ended up needing surgery.

    I’m only 19, and I think I seriously messed up my life over something stupid. On Halloween, I went out clubbing with a group of friends. One of them, let’s call him X, was someone I genuinely...

  10. I lost my virginity to my friends ex while blacked out

    I went to my friends house for the night. She lives with ger boyfriend so he picked me up, but I didn’t know he had his cousin who was one of my friends ex’s. We went to his house and there was 2...
