Confessions That Shock: 8 People Reveal the Dark Secrets They Can’t Undo
We all have skeletons in our closets, don’t we? Some are dusted off at parties, while others lurk in the shadows, too scandalous to share—unless, of course, you’re cloaked in the sweet, sweet armor of anonymity. Morality? That slippery beast that everyone loves to debate but never quite nails down. Is it a universal truth, or just the social contract we awkwardly agreed to over centuries? Whether you’re Team Objective Right-or-Wrong or convinced life’s just a giant gray smear, you’ll find these confessions from the r/AskReddit community utterly captivating—and maybe a little shocking. Imagine spilling your most eyebrow-raising deeds to internet strangers. Scary or liberating? Probably both. Trust me, these tales will make you chuckle, cringe, and maybe even question what you’d admit to if nobody was watching. Ready to peek behind the curtain? LEARN MORE.
Look, nobody’s perfect. We’re all human beings, and we all make mistakes. (Some more than others!) But whether you believe in objective morality or think that norms are all a byproduct of the society we live in, you can’t deny that some behaviors are a bit iffy and fall into a very gray area.
These are behaviors that you might be so scared of being judged on that you’d never admit to them aloud… unless you were protected by anonymity. Case in point, some members of the popular r/AskReddit community opened up about the most morally questionable things that they’d ever done. Read on for their candid stories.
I don’t have a problem admitting it in real life because the statute of limitations has long-since expired, but..
My boss at a PC repair shop emptied the payroll account to buy himself a brand new BMW, so all of his employees quit. But I decided that if he wasn’t willing to pay me in money he damned sure was going to pay me in inventory, so I walked out with enough parts to build me a new PC (somewhat more than my paycheck would’ve been, but PC parts don’t pay the rent so I charged a ‘conversion fee’.).
When I was around 8-10, I was riding my bike with friends. We stopped at an apartment building (4-5 floors) to wait for one of our friends.
My friends started talking about a girl, about how much they dislike her. I had no idea who they were talking about, but didn’t want to be “left out” so I joined, and started saying mean things, like how stinky she was, and how ugly, and I think I even called her a pig, or something like that.
I was saying all that very loud (basically shouting), to make sure I’m louder than everyone else, so my friends would hear me and laugh (and they did…).
Well, it turned out we were waiting for my friend under that girl’s window, like exactly under it. The window was on the second floor, but it was hot outside so it was open.
Needless to say, the girl heard everything… her mom had to come down and send us away because she was crying so hard.
I wish I could go back and beat my stupid 8-year-old self.
In my early twenties, our apartment got burglarized. Most of what they took wasn’t very valuable, but I had two silver pocket watches I inherited from my grandpa, that probably would have fetched $3000 combined.
The problem was that my renters insurance policy limited jewelry losses to $1000.
Conveniently, my roommate had lost a really expensive 35mm camera and his insurance policy only covered $1000 for it. He also worked at a computer store.
So I gave him documentation on one of the pocket watches, and he gave me a backdated fake receipt for a computer.
We were both able to adjust our claims and get extra money out of our insurance companies to help with our losses.
Thank god we used different insurance companies at the time!
I was a math tutor in college that got paid minimum wage working out of their math lab. Students would come in for help on their homework. This elderly woman taking an entry-level math course would come in often for help and she seemed like a nice enough lady. But she was falling extremely behind on her homework and the semester was almost over. So she asked me if I would do it all for her for a couple hundred bucks. That kinda money back then was huge for me, so I took her up on her offer.
When I was in high school, I dated a boy who was horribly abusive, and ended up cheating on me with my best friend the night before my senior prom. Also found out he had been cheating on me pretty much the whole time via the “meet me” app. I obviously dumped him. A few months later I found out he was already dating another girl, so I created an account on meet me, and proceeded to pretend to be someone else for multiple months, get him to virtually cheat on his girlfriend at the time, and send her all of the evidence using a fake social media account. Sorry girl:/ he would’ve done it anyway:/.
About 15 years ago I remodeled my kitchen. Got all new Samsung appliances. At the time Samsung had a promotion that gave you a free flatscreen TV with new appliances. Filled out the offer and was sent a coupon code and went to the samsung website to get my TV.
Added the TV to the cart, and noticed when I applied the coupon code. It changed the unit price of the TV to $0.00 instead of adding the $300 credit to the order.
