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...

I (f34) am on my engagement trip with my fiance (m39). We're having the best trip, we get to the end of the day. Im planning on adding extra spice to the night. He takes blue chews when we want to get extra spicy, so I googled what would happen if I took one. Google and Ai assure me I won't die, but my lady parts may get *extra engorged* I'm fine with that. Him and I cheers our pills. 1 shot, 1 pizza, and about 45 minutes later, things are starting to happen. I ask him if its normal for my toes to feel weird, he laughs and says "yea that happens sometimes". Then, my face feels hot and.. numb? We start to go at it, everything goes surprisingly well with how odd my body feels. But my lady bits are also numb? Definitely not what Google said would happen, but I had fun. Why I'm here, I'm now sitting here with pupils the size of a dinner plate, numb in odd places and feeling generally like I did drugs. My man sleeps like a brick afterwards when he takes on...

Well, not actually today, but two years ago. In the summer of 2024, after leaving a toxic job, I decided to take a six-week vacation before looking for a new one. I spent the summer at my family's trailer on a small island, about an hour away by boat from the city where I live. Around that time, I finally felt ready to end the two-year break I had taken from dating, and a friend suggested Bumble, so I gave it a try. A few disappointing matches and a short-lived situationship later, I matched with J (31M). We hit it off and, since I was already away for the summer, we spent over a month talking, before finally deciding to meet. He offered to take the one-hour ferry to the island for our first date. Since I knew the area well, I suggested we visit a tiny nearby island, that's only accessible by a small boat. It's a protected nature reserve with crystal-clear waters and deer and peacocks roaming freely. I'd been there more than 20 times over the years and had safely ...

This happened almost a year ago and it's still embarrassing. I had a date with a woman who I met through a friend. We were going to meet at a bar for drinks and then go to a restaurant. Obviously since we were both going to drink we each took Ubers to the bar. I thought the date was going well. We had good conversation. We both started doing shots. Now I hadn't eaten much all day, so the alcohol was really hitting me. By the time we went to the restaurant, I was mildly drunk. At the restaurant, we had some wine. I obviously had too much because at some point I blacked out. I don't remember the rest of the date or even getting home. The next morning, I woke up with a hangover from hell. After crawling out of bed and drinking a few cups of coffee, I checked the credit card app on my phone to see how much the bill was from the restaurant. I was shocked when I saw the amount. I checked my pants that I was still wearing from the night before for the receipt. I saw that I had b...
