I rented a house for an elderly woman who was in her student years. She turned out to be very nice and kind. She baked me cookies and told me stories. She lived in the hous next door to the house I was renting. After three or two weeks, something terrible started happening. First, she started saying that I turned on the light too often, then that I used a lot of water. How she found out about this, I still don't understand. She would come to the house when I wasn't there, telling me not to stay out too late, not to talk to guys, just complete nonsense and complete brutaly. What happened was that one day, I woke up for class again, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and there she was. She started telling me why I didn't go to my first class, why I was still home, why I was sleeping, and that she wanted to go wake up me. I was completely shocked, and I asked her, why did you come here, I was renting your house, it's now my property. She started saying v...

So let's just jump right in... Aside from a few daily rushes, I work at a fairly slow pace office which affords me the benefit of being able to listen to audio books while I work without too much interruption. To paint a picture, I work in the logistics department of a synthetic DNA distributor, or to put it simply, I work in the shipping room with up to 5-6 other coworkers at any given time. In a typical day, one employee is picking orders while the rest are verifying and packing them for shipment. Today, it was just me (39F), my boss (54M), and one coworker (40F) in the office. It was a very slow day and I've been in sort of a... mood... lately, so today I swapped out my usual fantasy adventure book with something a little "spicier". Okay it was a LOT spicier. This wasn't a slow-burn romantic love story. This was hardcore, bite your lip, heavy breathing, smut ... and it was right at the, er, "climactic" moment that my boss decided to look up and ...

This happened today. I was binge watching Daredevil, before going to toilet. So some of the actions were still on me mind. While i was sitting there, i started thinking about how in DBZ two guys punch each other...where their fist meets fist and a big shockwave happens? Idk i just thought "yeah lets act that". The first time i just brought my left and right close. just touching. Then idk why, my brain blanked for a tiny moment - like my fists acted on their own. I repeated the fist collision with real force this time!! My left knuckle bone smashed into the area just below the knuckle of my right middle finger. The pain was immediate and SHARP! You know the saying "life flashes in your final moments " ... in that moment of immense pain, i thought of the daydreams where we imagine punching bad guys. And my brain was like " Register this pain fool. punching aint so easy". So i sat there for couple more minutes in pain and contemplating -- how ...

Edit: yes it’s silly early 20’s drama. I know it’s low stakes nonsense. I also however care deeply about one of the people involved here TL:DR: I told a girl I barely know that I was sorry to hear about her breakup, she didn’t even know he was planning to stop seeing her For context: here is everyone involved in the story: Me Bethany (my friend) Shaun (Bethany’s friend) Carla (a girl Shaun has been dating) I’m friends with all 3 people involved in this story to some extent, but Bethany and I hang out quite frequently and I don’t really know Shaun and Carla that well, but they both frequent some regular events that Bethany and I go to. Long story short, the two got to chatting and eventually started going on dates, which I thought was great. Earlier this week, while catching up with Bethany, I asked her how Shaun and Carla were doing and I got told that “oh they are no longer together, they realized it was mutually platonic”. Which is a shame, I thought. Didn’t really think ...

I graduated from university a year ago. There was this one strange girl studying with me. She never talked to anyone and never had conflicts, but sometimes people wanted to bully her. My friends and me always stood up her because I was taught never to offend the weak. I even tried to talk to her once, but it led to nothing, so i just forgot about it. She always got the best grades and explained everything like an encyclopedia. I don't know if her parents forced her, but she memorized everything to an abnormal state. A strange situation happend before graduation. We were given a very important project to do, it took about two weeks, and it was large-scale. I was never a good student, I was average, but I did this work very well. Whhen we came to submit the projects, I saw this girl crying on the steps. She was sobbing very hard. I asked what happend, and she said she didn't do this work, she didn't finish it in time. She said she had some problems. I still don't know w...

Some backstory first. There’s this coworker I used to have a crush on. It was weird and unfamiliar how she made me feel. Well, I learned she has a boyfriend, and decided not to purse my feelings for her. She’d never have gone for me anyways, I ain’t much to look at. (I make Quasimodo look like George Clooney, lol.) Anyways, I thought at least we could be friends since I do enjoy her company. I liked talking with her, enjoyed hearing what she had to say, and just felt she was a great person to be around. Well, recently, we connected on LinkedIn. I tried talking to her on there because I felt lonely. She sent me a message back which, IMO, made it clear in as polite a way as possible she wanted nothing to do with me. I should have seen this coming, I usually do just end up bothering people a lot. Well, now we’re working the same shift and I’m trying to my best to give her space, barely talk to her anymore, and avoid looking at her. I never should have thought we could be friends, that...
