If you hang on to secrets for too long, they’ll start to eat away at you…
Especially if they’re of the scandalous variety.
But we’ve all done things at one point or another that we’re not exactly proud of or that we just don’t want anyone to ever find out about. And that includes you!
People on AskReddit revealed secrets that they’ll never tell anyone.
Let’s see what they had to say.
1. It wasn’t me!
“When me and my siblings were on family vacation, around 10 years old, I put a fire cracker in the toilet and it shattered it.
I blamed it on the family friend who came along that year.
It was me.”
2. Best week ever.
“In pre-school a parent brought in fruit roll-ups for the entire class and they mysteriously went missing while the class was in the gym.
I ate like a king after bedtime for the best week of my life.”
3. Oh my.
“In 3rd grade I thought it was cool as hell to wear glasses but I had near perfect vision, so I absolutely bombed an eye exam on purpose.
Now, almost 20 years later I’m legally blind without glasses cause my eyes got so f**ked.
That’s my secret to take to the grave”
4. Time to leave?
“Sometimes I just want to walk away.
I love my Boyfriend, my parents and my friends, but sometimes its just to much for me, and I thinking about to pack my things and just leave forever.”
5. Have a drink.
“There was a guy in school who used to b**ly everyone.
He was rich and hostel wardens were his b**ch. One day I was sick so I stayed in the hostel. Went to his room and peed in his water bottle. Didn’t rinse the bottle and kept it in place.
Felt really good later watching him drink from it.”
6. Keep that one to yourself.
“Was a groomsman for one of my closest friends.
At his wedding, I was chatting to his sister, we eventually ended up having s** that same day.
Could never bring myself to tell him. Or anyone.”
7. The fire.
“About a week before I graduated high school my family had a massive house fire.
We lived out in the country, and no one was home so by the time anyone noticed it was on fire it was way too far gone. 30 foot flames above the roof. We lost everything, but had insurance and no one got hurt.
Anyways, I was in a chemistry class at the time that around 70% of the grade centered around a lab notebook that was graded all at once at the end of the semester. You would do labs every week, and then do lab write ups in the notebook. I had been slacking off and was way behind on the assignment and would have had to pull a few all nighters just to turn something in.
The day after the fire I went into class and told my teacher that the notebook had went up in the fire and that I had no idea how I would ever turn the assignment in. He was extremely nice about it, told me not to worry and gave me 100% on the whole assignment. Just said that I had bigger things to worry about and was about to graduate and that he hoped my family was doing ok.
…….well the notebook was in my car the whole time. Threw that b**ch away and swore myself to secrecy.”
8. Disbarred.
“Cleaning out my brother’s office after he d**d.
He was a lawyer, as was my dad and his wife. I found a notice of disbarment from the Board of Bar Overseers. I grabbed it and shredded it and never let any family known.
I contacted BBO and let them know of his d**th and it wasn’t published.”
9. Shut it down.
“During the 8th grade graduation party at the water park, I was in the wave pool and thought I had to fart.
Turns out I was wrong and got the whole pool shut down, nobody suspected it was me.
Also kind of ironic I was worried people would find out that I had a pee in it.”
10. Call the cops.
“I reported a close family friend to Child Protective Services.
He didn’t take care of his daughters, had no idea what they were doing, where or with who they are.
He only cares about himself, parties and drinking. So I reported him and now CPS are involved.”
11. Rough situation.
“My dad was an al**holic.
I used to ignore his calls because they were getting h**e-filled. I got home one day and the answer phone light was flashing. I ignored it as I knew it was a message from him for about six hours. Then I listened to it and it was my mother saying he has d**d. I pretended I was at work when I phoned her back and I told everyone that he had another illness rather than admit he d**d on his own after having a drunken fall at home.
I am so ashamed of him and that he did what he told me he would do ‘I want to drink myself to d**th’ rather than have a relationship with me. My mother is doing the same 15 years later and she knows how distressed I was and I H**E her for it. Being the child of an al**holic makes you very sensitive to drunk people and seeing happy families makes me very resentful.”
12. Not cool!
“When I was 17 my parents went on holiday, my car battery d**d and I needed a new one. I borrowed my parents brand new sports car and drove it 20 mins away to buy a battery.
Because I was s**tting myself about getting caught I threw the battery on the leather seats… turns out car batteries aren’t sealed and it poured battery acid all over their leather seats, I smelt it and it panic pulled it off the seat and put it on the floor, it then burnt through the carpet.
To this is day they blamed my brother.”
13. Sad.
“That I accidentally k**led my guinea pig when I was younger.
That’s all the details I will go into it’s still painful 14 years later and still feeling like s**t about it and not to mention not knowing how to properly care for them still hurts me even more 14 years later.
To clarify I was around 5 or 6 years old when it happened.”
