Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private When I was a senior in high school, I had a friend over to my house. We were hanging out in the basement. It was late and I was ready to go to bed. I told my friend it was time to go. He said he would let himself out. I heard him walk upstairs, open the door, and shut the door. But I didn’t hear the screen door shut, which means he didn’t actually leave the house. I followed upstairs to investigate. The house was dark because everyone else was asleep. I turned on the living room light and found him kneeling on the floor next to the couch where my younger 12 year old sister was sleeping. She had a bedroom that she shared with another sister but preferred sleeping on the couch for some reason. I asked him what he was doing. He mumbled something that made no sense. I walked him out of the house to make sure he left. And broke off all contact with him after that. I later heard a rumor that he had m**ested his own younger sister.

Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private One time and a man follow me around the mall. He was quite sneaky about it and had I not been paying attention, I may not have even noticed. He would wait on the bench outside of the stores, until my 4th store I went into, he was inside as well but made sure to stay across the room and caddy-corner to where i was. He was on his phone the whole time and my gut was screaming at me to not go out to my car alone. I exited that store and found a security guard to walk me out. On the way out of the mall, the guard told me I was did the right thing cause that man followed me until he saw me approach the guard. Dont know what his intentions were, but I am certain they were not good.

Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private I was shopping in a women’s clothing store a few years ago and noticed a guy a few feet away from me also browsing through the racks. At one point I noticed some weird motion from him in my peripheral vision and turned to see him methodically wiping his d**k on each piece of clothing.
I immediately contacted the manager and called 911 and now all purchased clothing gets washed immediately after I bring it home. No exceptions.

Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private Saw some kids, around the age of 10 maybe, throwing rocks at some toads in ablond and laughing about it when their guts bursted out.

Told them to stop and they looked at me with a genuinely confused expression as if, why would hurting animals like that be wrong at all?

Idk just gave me the creeps and I wonder what kind of persons they are now.

Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private Didnt see it but my college dorm roommate was showering in the common bathroom, when he looked up and saw a phone recording him inside. He immediately opened the stall door, ran after the guy totally naked and shouted at me (i was in our room) to come help. Turned out one of the dormers had been filming him couple times. The case reached the university tribunal that led to the creep’s dismissal.

Caught Unaware: Awful Things People Saw Others Do In Private I’ve had a pretty lucky life. Worst I’ve seen is a 35 year old man admitting he came to my church solely to ask my newly 18 year old sister to be his girlfriend. He had already asked me (29, but I was 18 when he asked), my sister (31, 17 or so when he asked), and my other little sister (21, 20 when he asked) and been rejected. He had known our family since my littlest sister was an infant. He told her she’d “blossomed into a woman”. He’s the only person the pastor (my father) has told to leave our church and not come back.
