What’s the Most F*cked Up Confession Someone Told you in Confidence? | Reddit Stories

what's the most messed up thing someone has confessed to you in [Music] confidence 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 a former co-worker of mine did that too she stole almost $100,000 from her own grandmother what the [ __ ] she was sentenced to 20 years not sure how she was found out as she had not surprisingly been fired

from my company years prior and I only saw that she'd been arrested in the local newspaper not sure how much she will serve her sentence but man that is the lowest of the low I'm in the Navy one day after a port visit that will remain unnamed A co-worker of mine asked me hey man do you think I'm in trouble and proceeded to tell me how he committed date grape when he found a girl passed out drunk and had sex with her I told him yeah yeah I do and before I could even tell the

right people Naval criminal investigative service was magically on board the ship and hauled his ass back to the States a supervisor in my department at work pulled me aside told me they would deny it if anyone asked then told me that A co-worker of mine was secretly filming me at work she said she was told not to tell me but thought I deserved to know any idea why he had mental issues and thought I was spreading rumors about him I wasn't but but everyone else was he wasn't liked at all good on them telling you

but they should also have reported it to HR I'm pretty sure HR was involved that is what is so messed up she is the only one who wanted to tell me he wasn't there much longer after that had a coworker come to the house drinks and smoke and all that good stuff then after everyone cleared out and it was just him and I 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 3 years prior on murder charges we're still cool till 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 that just sticks with me how did he kill them I have no idea I know it was some sort of fight that had happened but I didn't push for details had this happened to me to in a

way I grew close with his coworker and didn't find out until about 2 years and that they had been to prison because they had killed someone not on purpose but alcohol was involved dumb decisions were made Etc at the time I was working for a nonprofit who helped people get on their feet after prison so suddenly their sheer dedication to the job made even more sense and because I already knew them well when I found out it surprised me but didn't really color my perception of them I had a rough divorce kids were teenag teers

very dramatic wife it was a mess the final straw in the marriage was my wife receiving a Facebook message from a stranger claiming they saw me embracing and having an affair with a woman who closely fit the description of one of my co-workers I was not a few years after the divorce I started dating that same cooworker after I had left the company and after a while she invited me to move into her home which I did we started a business together and she asked me to look up some purchase orders on her computer I

opened the laptop and Facebook was open into a profile I instantly remembered as that stranger I was actually confused and brought the computer to her and asked how this person's profile could be logged in on her computer she took the computer for me with a proud smile and said it's really easy to create a fake profile on Facebook and winked at me while she took the computer into her office I thought my chest was going to burst this [ __ ] destroyed my family because she was crushing on me at work to be fair we

were having issues but breaking up the family was never mentioned until my wife got that message I moved out a few Weeks Later damn dude that's creepy your comment came late in the scheme of things it should be much higher I know you said there were other issues but did you at least clue your ex into this next level catfishing how did the new lady take in your reaction I worked on the road a lot I learned on one of these trips that my wife was conning Church groups out of their money and committing fraud

against the state and against check cashing companies I can't go deeper than that without revealing too much she was also isolating us from both of our families we are are no longer in touch my kids are grown and only my oldest daughter keeps contact with me and we are very close for what it's worth my relationship with my children was beautiful before the divorce the drama which I tried my best to avoid took its toll when my mean mother-in-law got old and scile she confessed to me that her mother-in-law used to tell her son to

beat her and would stand there telling him how to do it it's those times when you suddenly realize why someone is the way that they are that breaks your heart my cooworker 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 this is weirdly ironic but my wife dated a guy in college that had a dog he was allergic to

they moved in together and he decided to rehome his dog one of his friends got so upset that he was choosing his girlfriend over his pet that she tried to poison her with a laced cupcake she was sent to the hospital and was very sick for a few days but otherwise did not have any long-term effects from it the friend went to jail for 2 years my grandfather's sister was gang graped when she was a teenager she never reported it because she was taking a shortcut and should have known better than to walk through that

area alone she told me this when she was 75 having kept the secret for almost 60 years I recently found out that my great-grandmother was graped as a teen and sent by her own own family to live with the man who graped her he took her up north to live in a lumber camp with him while she was pregnant with his child from The Assault she gave birth to a boy and fled with him to the closest town got on a train and came home she had sort of lost her mind so her family took

her in eventually she met my great-grandfather and got married he gave her son his own last name and raised the child to believe he was his own biological child the whole story of her grape and banishment was covered up no one spoke of it again except in the most hush hush of circumstances she was apparently very cruel to the rest of her male children she had later with my great-grandfather and she was unkind to her male grandchildren as well I always wondered why she was such an angry person but now I know why and it's

just so tragic had a bar Patron confess he liked the taste of human flesh and confessed he had been experimenting with his baby mama about it showed up with his baby mama to the bar sometime later and she did of human teeth marks on her arm and a bandage I did not ask about the bandage holyo wow and she and then stayed wow dog I know he was an active duty Marine as well just this big [ __ ] guy in the words of the youths an absolute unit I always wondered if she was too

scared to say no or maybe she was into it who the [ __ ] knows it was a really small town that constantly felt like a fever dream I think I have a pretty bad one dude I went to school with work on on a farm at the time one late night conversation and he starts telling me about his relations with one of the horses I never spoke to him again I don't know anything about him now and for that I'm very thankful was this in Washington nope good old kenfucky in college there was a

guy who was hanging around with our little group for a while after a bit I noticed he was no longer around so I asked about it turns out that during our party I had missed the guy casually starts talking about having relations with cows when he was growing up I like how it's just casual as [ __ ] too it's like they don't stop to think at all I'm sure these people would love to hear about me diddling animals I bet they'll even have their own stories it was like he was really expecting me to

just have my own story that night he was asking questions like I was interested in it not realizing my silence was due to shock he started in on another story where he was with another farm hand doing stuff to the horses and I cut him off to tell him my mom was coming in my room I still don't think he took the hint he tried contacting me for a few months before stopping bad thing is one of my best friends at the time married his brother I never had the heart to say anything about it

I'm hoping the brother is semi-normal for her sake 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 the channel is still up but she stopped posting after her dad found out this [ __ ] in high school bragged about how she got her boss fired by stealing her phone and going to the bathroom and setting up the phone like someone was taking a picture over the bathroom stall she set a timer and went into the

stall and pretended to be going to the bathroom while the phone took the picture then she put the phone back and immediately reported to the store that her boss had taken a picture of her over the stall going to the bathroom they confronted the boss and asked to see her phone fired her boss on the spot poor [ __ ] woman I'm trying to figure out what exactly she gained from pulling this [ __ ] the boss had probably written her up for something Bingo when I was in undergrad I played on a club sports

team for one season a core group of players lived in a communal house and had a big end of the season party I stopped by with some friend for some drinks but left early I liked playing but I didn't know them all that well the next week I ran into one of them in one of the cafeterias he was telling me about the party how I should have stuck around then he pointed out a freshman girl who was sitting at one of the tables and said she got shitfaced drunk and a bunch of us pulled

a train on her I thought I was going to get sick I don't remember what I said but I left I did tell a bunch of my friends we smoked a lot of dope we drank a lot of booze and we chased after a lot of women but that was not in our mentality they were as pissed as me and I never went back or hung out with the team again the most [ __ ] up thing was not that they did it hell it wasn't a confession he gave me he was bragging it was

sick but the most [ __ ] up thing was I did nothing about it I didn't go to the cops I didn't try to get her help I just walked away from the situation and that's [ __ ] up I should have done something anything instead I just took the coward's way out I understand I don't know you but I don't think you're a coward the cops would not have cared anyway they're not some Justice League without hard evidence the case you're presenting just sounds like a long night in excess paperwork the way you talk

you sound like a good person we can't write wrong at least you're clear about who you are and not supporting that [ __ ] sometimes when they brag they're looking for recruits you weren't recruited that helps I appreciate that this happened in 1982 in a big college town I don't even know what would have happened had I reported it I didn't know her at all I think the thing that bothers me the most is I didn't talk to her I could have found her now 43 years later I wouldn't know where to begin but I

hope she's okay I worked in the bar industry for 3 years and I've had several people spill out horrifying drunk confessions you have to take them with a grain of salt because people lie all the time especially at bars but one confession really sticks with me a man told a long and detailed story about being forced to murder his cousin they were both members of a gang and the cousin had stolen some money the man who was in his late 40s at the time of telling me this story was still clearly haunted by it had

been a teenager at the time and the cousin he murdered had always looked out for him and protected him him it sounded like he was his male role model slfa figure I still think about the night I had that conversation fairly frequently I've never heard pain and grief expressed quite that way it was really heart-wrenching I have a colleague that told me when he was a kid in the early ' 70s his older sister in high school at the time went to a party got drunk and two guys took her out back and graped her

she ran to a neighbor's house and called their father to come get her he did took her home and beat the hell out of her for allowing it to happen it was part of a conversation of why he and his siblings completely cut out his parents as soon as they each could that was just one story he told but it was the one that stuck out the most he turned out well but it took a lot of therapy a cooworker I became mates with eventually confessed to me he was a drug dealer grew a lot

of weed that he's rarely faithful and has cheated on his fiance at almost every opportunity dude also had a major Coke habit was a gambler and his other side hustle was a long Con on a company he used to work for on the surface he was Charming clever and funny once he brought me in as it were I realized he was a complete sociopath last I heard he was arrested for a road rage incident in his Beamer two things one was a chick that was in the group of friends I had at the time got

drunk and told me she had an 8-year-old son with severe Down syndrome I had known this chick for 5 years never a peep about a kid she then admitted that shortly after he was born she dropped him at her mom's and skipped town didn't talk to her mom ever again I told it to the group and they decided it wasn't a big deal I'm no longer friends with them second thing is a former roommate ended up with three kids from two different women one was his now ex-wife and the other is Baby Mama that chased

him for like 6 years for some unknown reason I ran into him at a bar one night and he told me how he manages to skip out on child support payments by claiming he can't afford to live on his 30 hours a week of work I also know he has five properties he maintains but they're technically under his parents name so the state can't include them on his income I called him a douche and left the bar how old was this girl when she had the baby I know someone who got pregnant in high school

right before turning 18 parents coerced her out of an abortion then kicked her out immediately after giving birth she relinquished custody and left and honestly I don't blame her in her early 20s and she wasn't living at home she said she dropped the baby off while her mom was napping left the kit on the couch in its carrier and then drove off she spent the next 8 years living with whatever guy she could get to sleep with her and when she got bored she'd cheat on him and move in with another dude sometimes that her

BFS roommate so she wouldn't have to move her [ __ ] she's a piece of [ __ ] a female friend in college got drunk and confessed that between the ages of 12 and 16 she would sneak into her parents' room and borrow her mom's sex toys but I cleaned them before and after I used them so it was fine reminds me of that one story story of the girl using her mom's toy for some time before realizing it was a clone a willy replica of her dad's shutter mine isn't really that [ __ ]

up so I guess I should consider myself lucky one of my first girlfriends confessed that she never completed any schooling she was homeschooled all her life and was even a part of the graduation festivities for my high school graduating class she was very fun and personable one day she said she had something to confess and said her mom simply filled out all the paperwork and just copied test answers and mailed them in I'm not sure how it all works but she said she never studied anything or took a real lesson I still really liked her

but the more I got to know her the lack of basic knowledge started to becoming more and more apparent her math and science understanding was that of a small child it was sad every once in a while she'd say something so stupid it would catch me off guard and have me rethinking my life my best friend committed in 2023 we were all only 15 I was on the phone when our other friends found him but a few months later one of them confessed he had taken a picture of his body and had shown it to

mutual friends [ __ ] up [ __ ] man the dude took his phone from the crime scene and finished off the bottle of vodka he had been drinking safe to say we don't speak anymore I'm so sorry for your loss after it all happened we found his diary and all his notes the poor kid had been so sad for so long I hate that that's what it came to but I hope he finds peace he was the sweetest kid no one ever had anything bad to say say about him and he never spoke about

how he felt he wrote that he didn't want to upset anyone it's comforting to know he didn't just make a split-second decision he just had enough had this one girl confessed to me she molested her brother I think he would be shocked at how often this occurs for most kids it's the result of them playing out what has previously happened to them it's almost always not malicious the outcome is still very damaging however when I I was 19 a guy I knew confessed to me one night after a party that he'd been seriously molested over

a prolonged period as a young teenager I was stunned and full of sympathy he was so gregarious and self- assured even as a kid I had no idea he was living through something so traumatic and harrowing all the time I knew him coworker telling me he had sex with graped a 14-year-old girl when he was in his mid-20s another cooworker talking casually about doing dog fighting these were both at my first job working at a restaurant I would have reported both of them I wish I had I was 15 and didn't know much better than

to be like I have a cousin that has no shame and actually brags about how she cheats and how she's a home wrecker by messing around with married men all her previous relationships she has cheated and 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 actually proud of this woman who' told us already that her parents grew up in Nazi Germany but were only like 10 years old

when the war ended told me when drunk that both of her grandfathers were SS officers one was still in Soviet custody when he died in 1961 my great-grandfather was two he was imprisoned here in Austria after the war ended because of his war crimes my grandpa from my other side of the family was drafted against his will deserted and became an underground resistance fighter against the Nazis he talked in schools and Unis about it until his death his brother and parents worked for the resistance as well so that side of my family all risked their

lives even though they weren't targeted but yay I do also have an ancestor who wasn't just a bystander but an actual Nazi it's horrible but at least everyone that came after him in this family is very leftist and I think good people I know that many people here have similar family histories and I don't think it helps anyone to bury that shame and pretend it didn't happen my best friend's dad ate a shotgun about 20 years ago after his wife left him him I wasn't there when the cops found and removed the body but I

did help clean up the crime scene because nobody tells you that you're responsible for that and crime scene cleanup crews are expensive and prep the house for sale my friend and his family went through therapy for a while and then they moved across the country to be closer to his mom's friends but we kept in touch a few years ago they temporarily moved back into the area before settling in a neighboring state and I helped them with a move my friend hadn't arrived yet so it was just me helping basically a second mom and when

we stopped for lunch she pretty much told me everything her ex-husband had been extremely abusive but was really good at hiding it so it took her over a decade to get out the dad had bought a shotgun updated the beneficiaries on his own life insurance policy and took out policies on Mom and all three of their kids naming the anunt as beneficiary on all policies he ate the shotgun a couple of weeks later we think he had a last minute change of heart about killing his kids but we'll never know they're all grown some with

families of their own and they are quite happy as they are so I don't think it will do any good to tell any of them and I have no intentions of doing so their mom can if she wants an ex-friend helped another friend to commit she helped him get rid of his stuff get the rest of his stuff to his baby mama and 12-year-old son write his note take the last picture of him on his phone so his girlfriend could use it for his funeral they were cheating with each other doing crystal meth watching adult

movies and she didn't give a [ __ ] proudly told me at his funeral that she took that pick of him by his coffin landed up losing her kids home partner and the respect of all of her friends and the most bizarre part of this whole story is that she was the perfect mom the soccer mom class mom the mom that we all aspired to be perfect mom I assure you there's things going on behind closed doors no one does [ __ ] up things like that also while doing meth and is a perfect mom

yeah was a huge shock to find all this [ __ ] out out not in a million years did I think she was a meth head just goes to show you that you never know what goes on behind closed doors in hindsight there were signs towards the end like sleeping all day and staying up all night drinking more than usual when I was around one time her kids came to my door in the middle of the night because she was accusing them of trying to kill her and that was after the whole thing so I

think her conscience got the better of her on a side note she does have a narcissitic personality disorder so everything was done for show outside the house [ __ ] up [ __ ] be careful who you spend your time with helped a coworker move met his wife and two daughters had an amazing time about a week later he and I are sitting at pre-shift and he leans over and tells me he and one of the hostesses who was in her early 20s and he in his late 30s and him were snapping each other nudes

until like 2:00 in the morning the previous night I know other answers in here are worse but I was outright disgusted by him in that moment still am his wife was sweet as pie and bought as pizza and always came to help set decorations at our job just gross this one comes to mind as it is oh the most [ __ ] up thing someone has confessed to me in confidence interviewed someone many years ago to be a department manager solid guy really knew his stuff hired him he was great with staff knew how to

work with clients grasped all the nuances of the job including the boring administrative stuff that we all hate but he was spot-on with it there was another employee there with whom he had a great rapport she wasn't his direct report but she and he seemed to get along just super well chemistry as if they knew each other for years nothing out of the ordinary nothing Beyond just being able to effectively work inner departmentally and when they worked on projects together they were on task focused and delivered now this guy had pretty good chemistry with everyone

else as well but this one female just was like they were in sync he had been with me for about 2 months he was in my office one day we were having lunch and just chatting about all topics not work related the subject of family came up from him not me I told him my story is short no kids almost all family is dead so I don't have anyone really anymore except me and my spouse he smiled and nodded in what I would say is a kindly empathetic way at this point he told me he

had a large family and extended family and started to give a small history lesson this guy has a lot of family a lot as he's going down the list he starts rattling off names and one of them is the female I mentioned above find out she's his great niece well damn that explains how and why they gel so well when they work their family okay that makes a lot of sense now we have no problems with family members SL relatives working for us not an issue as he concludes his conversation he says to me you

knew right I said no I had no idea you two were related but it makes sense now he looks at me and he has a serious look on his face and says no you know about us right I looked confused I assume and said I don't know what you mean he said my youngest daughter she's the mother that took me about 45 to 60 seconds to fully process what he was telling me I finally said something along the lines of nope had no idea okay great this was fun let's do this again soon my best

employee is related to another good employee it's great uncle and great niece and they [ __ ] slash are [ __ ] and have a kid together oh he was in his late 60s and she was in her very early 20s I checked and checked but we had no policy against such he quit about a month later she stuck around about another month and also quit I strongly suspect it was due to him spilling the news to me which to this day I just don't understand why he shared what he did Beyond her being his

great niece in that moment he just chose to share I assume it was due to the great sushi we just had for lunch thus that story takes top spot in my book edit sorry for the confusion the male employee working for for me who was great and all that he is the great uncle of the female who worked for me and those two had a prior existing relationship whereby they had sexual intercourse and produced a child someone pointed out that a great uncle and great niece would be fine to reproduce from what I assume is

a genetic standpoint the more I thought about it when it happened years ago I think the great niece gave birth around age 16 or 17 as her child was three or so years old at the time that makes it much more troubling as he was grooming her that's my take on it and they did the Wild Thing and a child was the result so many questions I never asked and so many I never will [Music]
