Yahoo News 17 Funny And Juicy Secrets People Refuse To Share With Anyone In Their Personal Life
Recently Reddit user u/DaSGuardians asked "What secret have you kept from everyone?"
The secrets people shared left me either giggling or speechless. Here's what they confessed:
1."I spilled beer on a wedding dance floor. The groom's aunt slipped and broke her leg."
2."My mother had an ongoing secret affair with the guy I was dating in my 20s (while I was dating him). I'm 60 now. Nobody else knows. It still hurts she would do that to me."
3."I make music under a fake identity, and I'm approaching 400K monthly listeners on Spotify. None of my friends know, not even my kids."
4."I'm a cash-for-life winner. I took the annuity to fund retirement in the near future. $1K a week for life!"
5."I won second place at my work's annual chili competition using a bunch of cups of Wendy’s chili that I put in a crockpot."
6."The kids have been eating regular Cheerios for years. Maybe five years now out of the same Honey Nut Cheerios box, lol."
7."I sleep-eat sometimes after taking my Ambien. I woke up one morning and saw the cat food bowl with a spoon in it. Empty. My cat was really upset with me."
8."In the pre-Keurig days, we had a ‘coffee club’ at the office. A group of us coffee addicts would take turns buying coffee for the communal coffee maker. I got annoyed with the club, so I slowly started swapping out some of the regular grounds with decaf. After 2-3 weeks, it would be 90% decaf. I’d keep it there for another week or two, then swap it all out with 100% regular coffee and watch everyone get all geeked up when it kicked in. And after a week or so, start the cycle again."
9."I'm a published author but don't want friends and family reading my writing. It's for strangers only!"
10."I tell everyone I don’t want to get married (I've been with the love of my life for four years now), but the reality is my partner’s been fighting a divorce case for over seven years, which is why we cannot marry."
11."I have given myself two names so I can keep my sex and party life a secret from my family and friends I grew up with. If they knew about 'Alex,' they'd never look at me the same way."
12."Although I love my son and will always do the best I can for him, I wish I weren't a mother. If I could go back, I would've never had him. Again, nothing against him. He is a bright kid.I realized pretty much immediately after giving birth to him that I don't want to be a mother. Besides here, anonymously, I will take this to my grave. I want him to believe that he was the best thing to ever happen to me."
13."When I was in middle school me and some friends decided to do a 'small' prank. We started a rumor (that didn’t harm or destroy anybody’s life), it got out, and it spread like wildfire. Everybody talked about it, and our small-town local news wrote about it. It went on for a year or so."
14."I once stole money out of my friend’s wallet."
15."I fake an accent at work because it gets me more tips."
16."I fixed the election for my high school's prom queen decades ago."
17.And finally, "I don’t plan to tell my husband about the amount of money I’ll be getting from the lawsuit involving me getting into an accident with a semi-truck. When it happened, my husband wasn’t the most supportive person, as I was having trouble coping emotionally. He said I was exaggerating the aftermath, and I never forgot that."
