"I Have Cancer. It's Really Bad. Don’t Tell Anyone." People Are Discussing The Most Messed Up Confessions They've Ever Heard
I'm sure we've all been in a position where someone drops a total truth bomb, and you have absolutely no idea what to say or how to react because it's just all so shocking.
So, when Reddit user u/Competitive_Art6313 asked the question, "What’s the most fucked up thing someone has confessed to you in confidence?" in r/AskReddit, I knew it would be full of jaw-dropping confessions:
1."My coworker confessed that she'd been secretly feeding her husband's allergic cat chocolate when he wasn't home because she wanted it to 'naturally pass away' so they could get a dog instead. I reported her to our mutual friend who lived with them. The cat's safe now, thank god."
2."I have a cousin who has no shame and actually brags about how she cheats and how she's a homewrecker by messing around with married men. In all her previous relationships she cheated, and she would brag to everyone and laugh about how she hooked up with some guy while her boyfriend had no idea. She was actually engaged for a bit and did the same thing to him with multiple guys. She's proud of this."
3."At a sleepover, my friend told me she had been secretly recording her parents' fights and uploading them to YouTube for money. She had over 100k subscribers. I checked later, and the channel is still up, but she stopped posting after her dad found out."
4."I had a friend confess to being the biological father of two other friends' kids. Two separate instances of cheating with a friend's wife. Two instances of it resulting in a kid. I still don't know how I'm going to handle it since I was only told a couple of days ago."
5."My former roommate told me she'd been stealing small amounts of money from her elderly grandmother's account for years. She justified it by saying, 'Grandma has dementia and doesn't need it anyway.' I moved out the next month and anonymously reported her to the bank."
6."Almost 40 years ago I was out with a friend, and we stopped by one of her other friend's houses. This friend of a friend warned me to never eat at her house, as her little brother was prone to taking prodigiously large shits that clogged the toilet, and her parents would cut them up WITH THEIR REGULAR UTENSILS and then just toss them in the dishwasher and back into daily use. I still think about that fairly often."
7."My coworkers and I were in our office; one of them left, so it was just me and another coworker. He turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and said, 'I have cancer. It's really bad. Don’t tell anyone.' He turns around as the other coworker comes back in, and he starts chatting like nothing happened. I sat in silence for a while."
8."I was invited to my friend’s wedding, and when I was in the washroom, his bride asked me to come in the stall and help hold up her dress, which I did. She told me that she had her tubes tied and couldn’t have more kids, didn’t want more kids, but never told her new husband. She wasn’t even upset; it was like, hahaha. So mean. It ate me up. They are now divorced, and he is remarried — with a son he adores."
9."A neighbor once came to my house freaking out because he thought his brother murdered someone. He told me where he stashed the weapon, the blood — many details. The brother had left before he was sure if he'd killed someone or not. It was like 4 a.m., and I was just like, 'Cool?' What could I do?"
"The next morning, shit you not, one of those CSI-looking-ass trucks is in our front yard with a dozen or so cops and people in those waste biohazard outfits. Like it legit looked like a murder scene from a movie. I'm like, 'Fuck. I know shit, but do I go out there and tell them?' They're looking for the weapon, and I know where it is, but also...I think I need a fucking lawyer. First time EVER a lawyer called me back HIMSELF within five minutes. To be fair, I think he just enjoyed getting the gossip before it hit the news because he just straight-up gave me free advice. Anyway, the guy got off on self-defense in the end."
10."A supervisor in my department at work pulled me aside, told me they would deny it if anyone asked, then told me that a coworker of mine was secretly filming me at work!! She said she was told not to tell me, but thought I deserved to know!"
11."A coworker told me that when he was seven or eight years old, he was at his aunt's farm. He was playing with matches, lighting them, and throwing them in a bucket. Some hay caught fire, and things got out of control really fast. He closed the barn doors and went outside. The adults came running when they realized what was happening, and the horses in the barn were making horrible noises."
"His father got the barn doors open, and horses with flaming manes came running out. A bunch of horses were killed, and others had to be put down. His aunt knew he had been involved, but he insisted he didn't do anything. His aunt blamed him, but his father took his side, and it caused a huge family rift. He said he had never told anyone and that the memory of the horses and the loss of the barn was a regret he carried all his life."
And finally, here's a wild confession that will definitely leave you speechless:
12."I had a coworker come to the house; there were drinks and smoke and all that good stuff. After everyone cleared out and it was just him and me, he got really weird and gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, 'I hope this doesn't change anything, man, but I need to let you know that I've killed two people.'"
"I thought he was messing around, and when he left, I decided to search the name up. Sure as hell, dude had gotten out of prison just three years prior on murder charges. We're still cool to this day, and it seems like he's turned his life around and has become a pretty decent family man, but that night he told me just sticks with me."
