--Zero- 08/05/23 11:27:06 AM #1:	A couple years ago on my wifes birthday I took her and her mother out to dinner downtown. The only place to park that weekend afternoon was in a parking lot where you had to log into an app to pay for your time. My wife used her phone to open the app and used my card to pay for parking. It was one of those apps where you have to put in your license plate number. Well my wife saw we had used it before and didnt think to verify the license plate matched. Parking was paid and we went to dinner. We came back a hour later to see my car was gone. I cant remember who I called but I was told the car was towed by a company. So I called that company and they confirmed it and that I can come pick it up 5 miles away for $300. I told them I had paid for the parking and there must have been a mistake. They said theyd send the person who towed it my way to talk to me. Tow truck driver pulls up in their regular truck (not an actual tow truck just someone that attaches cars to his hitch) looking like a total meth head accusing me of not paying for the parking. I showed him the proof in the app then he accuses me of trying to use the plates from the people that parked next to me and said that he saw me speaking to them. Which of course never happened and he didnt want to bother looking at their plates on the app history to confirm that. So he drives off not giving a damn he screwed someone. So I checked the app and saw it was from when we used a different car months prior and my wife had assumed it was the same plates as my vehicle. Simple misunderstanding and the parking was paid for so youd think at the least it would lower my fee substantially or have it waived altogether. I call the shop to explain how unprofessional the tow driver was and everything else and they said theyd talk to the owner of the shop about it. They call me back shortly after to tell me the owner said if I want the vehicle back itll cost me $300. So I start calling lawyers and they tell me theres nothing I can do because it was a private lot and the owners can do whatever they want. I get a ride up to the tow company and its an automotive garage where the tow driver is standing outside guarding my vehicle. I look at the billing and they charged me an extra $50 for an after hours fee when it wasnt after hours when it was towed. I pay it off and suddenly theyre all nice to me. Whenever I think about it I still get upset knowing I was wronged and no one likes to be falsely accused to their face. Anyone else have any stories to share?

HANGtheDJ_86 08/05/23 11:48:22 AM #2:	When I was 14 I told my dad the first time I tried ecstasy and all he said was to not tell him stuff like that. I didn't know much about the substance so I abused it until I became depressed. I dropped out of school in grade 8 and stopped leaving the house all together. I missed out on some of the most important developmental years in life and it probably could have been avoided if my pops had an attitude towards harm reduction. --- I feel well put <cite>HANGtheDJ_86 posted [p:975265629] in Personal b...

DementedDurian 08/05/23 11:52:34 AM #4:	I was the target of molestation by my former stepfather. He wanted me to get in the shower with him because he "wanted to teach me how to clean myself". I knew instantly what he wanted to do and ran to my mom. If I hadn't made a big stink about it, he probably would have gone through with it. What hurts is my family denies he would have really done that and that he really did want to teach me how to clean myself. It still bothers me to this day. --- (She/Her) I'm a succubus.

Xatrion 08/05/23 11:54:45 AM #5:	I'll never get over my dog being killed by a car. We'd had some company over and had to keep our three dogs in their pen for several hours because said company had small children. When they left, we let them out of the pen. Someone opened the back door to let another of our dogs out, and our other dog, who loves to run, ran out. She got as far as the end of the driveway. And one car. One single motherfucking car on a residential street, just happened to be driving down at that exact moment she ran into the street. If there's any solace to it, it's that she died near instantly, so she didn't suffer much. But my family and I never forgave ourselves for letting it happen to her. It's been almost three years, and I still think of her every single day. --- Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice?

KogaSteelfang 08/05/23 12:05:03 PM #6:	Man, I have so many answers to that question. Guess I'll list a handful without going into too much detail this time. 1. When I was 9 I was injured and needed emergency surgery to survive. Dad told them not to do it and let me die. That's when I learned that he truly meant it when he said he wished I was dead. 2: He also basically held us prisoner. We were only allowed to leave if he knew EXACTLY where we'd be. Most often after coming home we'd be met with a loaded pistol pointed at us and then be interrogated about where we had been. 3: The time he decided to just go ahead and kill me because Mom watched part of a movie with me in my room rather than being with him. Tried to load his gun to shoot me, but it ended in a huge brawl between all 4 family members and with me a bloody mess after he tried beating me to death. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:975265862] in Personal b...

mullettron 08/05/23 1:21:10 PM #17:	I wanted to go to a city a few hours away because the University program I was interested in was having an open house about what they offer. I did not have a lot of money at the time so I bought a non-refundable bus ticket instead of a flight. The morning I was supposed to go there was a large snowstorm and when I arrived at the terminal I was told the bus was canceled due to bad weather. I asked for a refund or a rebooking and I was denied because my ticket was non-refundable and the reason was not their fault. I pointed out it's not my fault either and I am here on time but they refused to reimburse me in any way. I complained to corporate but that went nowhere, tried to tell media buy they didn't report on it. In the end i was out $80.

I was unexpectedly fired from one of my earlier jobs, which left me just kinda perpetually nervous that I'm doing something to displease my current supervisor and she might fire me at any time. I had something similar happen that some time helped me get past. I was working a security job overnights and there were 2 guard shacks for each side of the facility. During my walking rounds I would have to stop at the other shack to sign a sheet saying I made it. On certain nights there was this other guard over there that would smoke weed and always wanted to talk to me but I usually kept it short and wanted to make it back to my shack as quickly as possible cause it was creepy at night and I used to play my DS at the time. I guess the guard got paranoid I wasnt gaining his trust and he thought I was going to tell on him for smoking weed. I come back to work a few days later to hear from another guard that the guard in the other shack was talking about me to them saying if I rat them out for the weed that hell put me in a body bag and that hes got weapons to handle me if I do. So I was only a month into the job and that made me really paranoid so I reported it directly to my boss in a written letter and made s police report about what was said and that I wasnt comfortable working when that guard is. They ended up suspending me for a week before telling me they were letting me go instead. I heard the guard kept their job without issue afterwards. I was told that it was because I broke the chain of command by not going to my captain first who is some old dude that works in the same shack as the weed guard on opposite days. They said I shouldnt had made a police report and let them handle it too. I enjoyed the job and it was my first job after a big move while single so it really hurt at the time cause I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was told that guard was untouchable because he was on some type of disability program that pays the security company essentially to work for them so it was free work for them. --- Sig <cite>--Zero- posted [p:975272100] in Personal b...

[t:80528531]...</cite> <quote>--Zero- posted... </cite><quote>I had something similar happen that some time helped me get past. I was working a security job overnights and there were 2 guard shacks for each side of the facility. During my walking rounds I would have to stop at the other shack to sign a sheet saying I made it. On certain nights there was this other guard over there that would smoke weed and always wanted to talk to me but I usually kept it short and wanted to make it back to my shack as quickly as possible cause it was creepy at night and I used to play my DS at the time. I guess the guard got paranoid I wasnt gaining his trust and he thought I was going to tell on him for smoking weed. I come back to work a few days later to hear from another guard that the guard in the other shack was talking about me to them saying if I rat them out for the weed that hell put me in a body bag and that hes got weapons to handle me if I do. So I was only a month into the job and that made me really paranoid so I reported it directly to my boss in a written letter and made s police report about what was said and that I wasnt comfortable working when that guard is. They ended up suspending me for a week before telling me they were letting me go instead. I heard the guard kept their job without issue afterwards. I was told that it was because I broke the chain of command by not going to my captain first who is some old dude that works in the same shack as the weed guard on opposite days. They said I shouldnt had made a police report and let them handle it too. I enjoyed the job and it was my first job after a big move while single so it really hurt at the time cause I enjoyed it quite a bit.

My parents hardly did anything about it and a lot of times just ended up making it worse. I try not to hold it against them, but it's not something that I can easily get over. Especially considering the few, if any, times any of them have apologized have been me forcing them to in some way. I think I've gotten maybe 1 actual heartfelt apology. When I was around 11 or 12 my neighbor poisoned and killed my dog, he died on my birthday. A couple years later, my other dog also died (of natural causes) within a week of my birthday in my arms. After that it seemed that mmost of my dogs would die within around a month or two of my birth and I've always taken it personally after the second one. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz <cite>itachi15243 posted [p:975281363] in Personal b...

The 6 month stretch of time between Nov 2015 and Apr 2016 where: 1) I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis Dec 18, 2015 (the Force Awakens came out thar day, too, heh) 2) My then wife was diagnosed with Factor 5 Leidan Thrombosis (think the opposite of hemophilia; her blood clots TOO much) 3) The same week I was in hospital for the 1st MS attack, a blood clots traveled to my wife's lungs and nearly killed her (Merry FUCKING Xmas 2015) 4) Two miscarriages happened (very much related to the thrombosis; the blood clots would always kill the babies making her effectively sterile) I'm the one with like 5 different chronic conditions, but I'm so high functioning that people wouldn't know unless I told them. Yet why was she the one to have to be the one to not be able to conceive? Worst of all, I was a young and stupid coward. I began the process of ending the relationship and getting a divorce the summer of 2016. I got the divorce, and our hands were, on paper, wiped clean. But, hardly a day goes by where I don't think of that.

But yet no one came to take our order and and one waitress like skipped by us real quick for some reasons. So after a hour of waiting and no one coming to our table we got up and went to the front desk and asked if we smelled or if there was something wrong with us, since no one wanted to wait on us. The counter lady seemed puzzle srhey did this and asked if we wanted her to get us a waiter or waitress and we said no then left.

_____Cait 08/06/23 4:44:56 AM #36:	Ex girlfriend once woke me up holding a knife over my body. When she calmed down, her reasoning was because I wanted to see what it would be like. Turned out she was a weirdo neo nazi who had huge drug abuse problems. Dad disappeared when I was young, and resurfaced after he heard i graduated college. My brother found out before, and tried to warn me about him. He tried using me for some dumb grifts. When I asked him why he disappeared when we were kids, he said I felt like it. I grew up in a church my whole life, and believed in it. Then i started noticing that the things they taught me were slowly changing over the years, and they contradicted other things they taught. When i questioned it, they told me i was thinking too hard and gave me weaksauce excuses. They always told us to never listen to negative things about the church, because that was the devil trying to control us. When I decided to ask outside sources, i was shown just plain history about how that church had a well. History of manipulating and lying. Keep in mind, i was in this since birth. It shaped my worldview. I tried making excuses and ignoring what I learned, and telling them about it and trying to find reasons, but they slowly ignored me. Then pretended to be buddies with me, but really just wanted to know if i was still in the church. Then they never said anything. I felt so alone. My family was in that church. My support circle was there. I was in a foreign country when this happened too, so I had ZERO support.all i could do was listen to podcats from other people who found out like i did. I found a bunch of nasty secrets out. I had to reshape my entire worldview. Thankfully today, I can go days without thinking about it, but.. I also think of the things i missed out on too. But in a weird way, i feel i wouldnt be who i was today without it, but maybe it was just me who chose to be that way in the first place? --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 <cite>_____Cait posted [p:975281768] in Personal b...
