So i(20m) was home from college to stay & look after the house & my younger sister(17f), while my parents(50+) & older brother(23m) went on vacation for a week & a few days. I thought that since i live alone at college & keep my place clean this would be a piece of cake. My sister likes cooking & her window reaches the high plants that i can't reach, and i'll water the rest of the plants, as well as take care of the guinea pigs & do the dishes. My sister planned in a party before my parents even left, but she told me in advance & the previous parties she organized where pretty tame. The party is pretty rough, the floorboard of our wheeled scaffolding broke when a guy tried jumping off it into our window, a glass broke but that was just water, and the doorframe to the downstairs toilet was broken. The house was also pretty dirty & sticky. I basically spent all of it guarding the staircase because the one rule we had was everything stays on g...

I'm a 25F grad student who's usually way too busy between my master's program and working at Starbucks to think about dating. My older brother "Dan" (34M) has a friend ("Brody," 29M) who's been around my extended family for about 10 years. We're not related by blood—our families are only connected through marriage. We were both on my little cousin's graduation trip for a long weekend. I almost didn't even go because of school, but my schedule cleared at the last minute. You see, even though I know Brody too, my brother is way closer to him. They've gone on trips together, they watch soccer games together. However, Dan didn't come on this trip so it was a lot of my cousins, and Brody and I. No Dan. Over the five days I was there, Buddy kept sitting next to me, joking around with me, remembering random details about me from months ago that I didn't even know he'd noticed, asking about school, giving me drinks, offering me ...

A couple of months ago, a close friend, who I considered like a sister, asked me to babysit her children for several weeks all of a sudden because her husband had left the family home. At the time, she was emotional and didn't know whether he was coming back every day and she thought about divorcing him.During that period, I told my parents about what was happening because I was upset and processing everything. I also remember telling two friends. I honestly don't remember every conversation I had during those weeks, and it's possible I mentioned it to other people, but I genuinely don't know remember since it was months ago. Her husband returned after 2½ weeks, and today she confronted me. She said I told many people at our commity that her husband had left her and was never coming back. I told people who were wondering where the husband was that he was in german (like she said) with his family but I also told some people the truth but can't honestly say with cer...

I convinced my father to go watch The Odyssey with me. What I expected to be a wholesome father son bonding experience ended up being an awkward situation that became nightmare fuel. My fuck up was set in motion the moment my dad and I arrived at the cinema and realised The Odyssey was almost sold out. It was opening weekend. I should've booked online in advance, but it was the first screening of the day and I thought not many people were gonna show up for the earliest show. I was wrong. Limited seats were available. My dad and I had one of two choices. Choice number 1. We select any of the normal seats available, but then we would not be sitting together. Choice number 2. We select the "love seat", which is basically two seats merged into one so that couples can sit as close to each other as possible. My dad opted for the love seat instead of the random seats that would separate us. Before I could even think of suggesting anything else, my dad said if I was worried abo...

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I found an alley kitten. She was sick, and passed away after a 36 hour hospitalization. Since she had bitten me before passing, she had to get rabies tested. I struggle with OCD, and panicked at the situation. I went to the ER and got the first round of rabies shots. We got the results a few days later, the kitten had not died of rabies. I didn’t get the rest of the rabies shots, because they made me feel awful and I didn’t need them. Plus, in my mind, it’s a victory over my OCD to not keep going with them, and not give power to the irrational fear that the kitten had in fact been rabid and the test missed it. Tonight, my girlfriend and went for a romantic walk in our local park to look at fireflies and get our minds off of some stress we’ve been having in our lives. A fucking bat flew into my face. It made contact. Its horrible bat foot went into my open mouth. Now, I’m sitting in my local ER waiting to get stabbed again (last time was in my butt...

This happened when I was turning 7. It was my birthday party and things were actually going great. My friends were there, we had snacks, and my mom got me exactly what I wanted a brand new Moana DVD. Enter my crazy uncle. The one who smells like alcohol and does wild stuff. The second he arrived the whole mood in the room shifted. We got to the cake and everyone was singing Happy Birthday. He was singing along normally until the very last line. Right at the end he screamed "happy f-word birthday" as loud as he could in front of all the kids. The room went completely silent. My parents immediately threw him out. While my parents were outside saying goodbye to the guests, I snuck off to my bedroom to finally watch my new movie. I was so excited and alone in front of the TV. Somehow my uncle managed to sneak back into the house without anyone noticing. The door suddenly burst open and he walked right up to me. He said “I forgot your present. Happy birthday.” Then he ripp...
