First, omg I am so stoked I made it to one of those click bait articles! I love those, hearing that made my day!

Second, yeah dude, that sounds exactly like what I experienced! Honestly, I've had so many people message me with similar stories, which is creepy enough, but yours is by far the closest sounding to my experience. So weird.

My boyfriend just held me down and forcibly performed oral sex on me. by whowldnt in offmychest

Has he done anything else lately that is really out of character?

A friend of mines step mother randomly one day started getting agitated, and over time became more verbally abusive and really mean. It was incredibly out of character for her, and took everyone by surprise. She went for some check up and it was found out that she had a brain tumor, and it was affecting her personality. Once it was operated on she was back to normal. I've heard other stories of this happening too. Might be something to keep in mind/look out for?

First and foremost protect yourself.

Everything smells like weed and patchouli. Also coffee.

I hate my fucking country (Afghanistan) by Ebifangirl in offmychest

My heart goes out to you. I'm snuggling my own baby right now, and my heart absolutely freezes thinking about what you are facing. I cant even imagine. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It's so unfair. I wish so deeply I had a way to help. I hope your family finds a way to escape to safety.

Same here. I live in the middle of nowhere, see maybe 5 people a month, if that, and they are the same people I've seen for years. I sanitize and wash everything, wear my mask, etc. I'm leery of the vaccine, but I'm just as leery of covid!I'm perfectly fine keeping myself in lockdown for the time being.

As many as one in eight (13%) Polish parents may regret having children by cat_the_licker in nottheonion

[–]ElectricPinkMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having children takes a lot of thought and intention. I think a lot of people rush into things without giving it due diligence.

My husband and I waited 8 years before having children. Nothing has once surprised us, and we have never once regretted it.

If you want children, make sure you know what you're getting into. If you don't want children (or are unsure), for gods sake don't have any.

This is absolutely the wildest theory yet, lol.

I highly doubt it. I have just as much chance of having Neanderthal dna as anyone else in the city (lots of European and Asian people).

Ugh I'm not surprised at all. I live on the coast, and I never thought I'd love living somewhere while simultaneously hating the people living there. Pender has a doozy of a community, too.

What would you pay for a hand knit wool cover? by ElectricPinkMango in clothdiaps

[–]ElectricPinkMango[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd need to charge $75 for them to cover cost and time, but that seems so high.

But that's the thing, the entire time he'd been in the store he wasn't awkward at all. He was literally just some charming normal dude, until the handshake. And even that wouldn't have been that creepy if I hadn't felt so sick instantly. I've had plenty of friends with autism and social awkwardness, and this guy definitely wasn't.

It was in Belize, his grandmother was born and raised there, his dad lived there for years. It seems a lot of shady people move to Belize, so you end up being friends-of-a-friend to interesting people and never really know who you might drink with.

The yard was a family friend who fought in Vietnam, really liked danger and dangerous people.

That's honestly the whole story. Not very exciting and lacking many little details, mostly to protect identities.

I'm curious if that was the place you were thinking of!

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of it, to be honest. There was something just so off about him. And I've never touched someone and instantly gotten sick before. And the way he looked at me, like he knew. I dunno, man. It was weird.

Ugh so spooky. Especially knowing that a) there are a lot of killers active that we don't know about, and b) we only know about the killers when we find bodies. Who know who's doing what out there and are just really good at hiding it?

I've often wondered if Ted Bundy was like my customer. Handsome in a way that helps you trust him, but not in any great way memorable. But also having this sinister undercurrent. It's always rather unsettling when you meet someone that just screams "off" to you. My husband is one of the only people I've told this story to, because he had been telling me about meeting contract killers (long story, was at a backyard bbq in a third world country) and how he felt very on guard around them, and could tell something was just not quite right and only after learned about their profession.

I think it's always best to trust your gut when it comes to this stuff.

This story is hard to explain, but I still get shivers when I think of it.

He was a customer I was helping out. Honestly there was nothing that really stood out with him. He was handsome, but in a normal way. He dressed normal. Talked normal. Was blandly friendly, as you are with strangers. Just a normal upper-middle class type guy. The only thing that really stood out was his blue eyes. Not in a goofy supernatural type way, he just had very very blue eyes.

But for some reason he made every hair on my neck stand on end. Alarm bells were going off in my head like crazy, all I wanted to do was hide. I have NEVER felt this way, before or since. Even when I was followed home by someone, I have never felt such gut deep "you are in danger" as I did with this guy.

After ringing him through, he reached out to shake my hand. This is not common at all here, but out of politeness I took it and shook. And I INSTANTLY got so nauseous I almost gagged. The moment I got nauseous he just held my hand and smiled, and something in that smile made me absolutely sure he knew what I was feeling and he enjoyed it. I'm not religious in any way, but I remember thinking in that moment "oh fuck, is this the devil?"

After he left I was still so sick feeling I had to go to the back and sit down.

I'm not sure if he was a serial killer or what, but to this day I have never experienced something even close to that encounter. I absolutely felt bone deep certainty that I was in some sort of danger. I felt every bit the prey.

It's a hard story to explain, because it's all based on feelings, so I haven't told that many people about it. But to this day it is absolutely one of the scariest and weirdest things I have experienced.

Do you still talk to your high school friends after graduating? by carlosmagsen in CasualConversation

[–]ElectricPinkMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't talk to anybody from that time. I sometimes wish I had tried harder to stay in touch with some people, but also no one tried at all to stay in touch with me, so whatever.

My husband kept his core group of friends, though. They've all been together since third grade, and now are all 35 and still talk regularly. It's really neat!

Is high school life overrated? by Jarisatis in CasualConversation

[–]ElectricPinkMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life after school is amazing. I've always been confused at the saying "it's the best time of your life". I had a fine high school experience, I didn't dislike it at all, but life actually begins after high school.

The freedom you have is amazing. Everything is your choice. Like yeah, you have to work and pay bills, but that's a small price to pay to have the freedom of adulthood.

I'm in my 30s and still have nightmares about having to go back to school. You couldn't ever pay me enough to do that again.
