Lol that guy is clearly a piece of poo poo and this sort of thing is way too common, but I have to ask why would you send a cleavage photo
Because she's a Redditor


If she had any common sense, she would've immediately reported him to HR after he sent her that pic and she wouldn't even be in this mess in the first place

It was a shame how he carried on
"I'll send him a picture of my tits and tell him to jerk off. But like, as a joke."

Clearly the guy is just pissed by rejection, but she's an idiot too so I'd just clean house and fire both.

More from My coworker filed a false sexual harassment report against me

quote:

Do you still have the video? And the message where he asks you to cheat?

quote:

It was all on snapchat. The messages and photos are all deleted. He took a screen shot of the message saying that he is uncomfortable with me sending him inappropriate photos and to stop. After that he has been ignoring me. I do have witnessed from co-workers who saw some of the videos he send me and they may need to investigate it and question them as well.

Scammed by bait and switch escort in Vegas; I asked them to leave and they took my phone and sent themselves $2,100 in fake charges. Stopped payment, but Venmo now says I owe them?!

quote:

I am an idiot and tried to hire an escort in Vegas. I got them an Uber to come to my hotel, and agreed to pay them $750.

They show up and are not the same person. I verbally offer them $250 to just leave. She asks to take my phone because she doesn't trust me. I'm tipsy, so I let her take it.

She sends herself $500 + $600 + $1,100, and leaves.

I immediately emailed Venmo minutes later, and put a stop payment through my bank. This was 2 days ago.

Now Venmo says I owe them today! And are asking for a police report and details.

Should I file a police report? What do I tell Venmo? I only have the phone # of the escort and they threatened to blackmail me if I dispute the charge. I don't want to deal with this..

I do not live in Vegas, and am not in Vegas any longer.

Edit: I guess if you're fast enough, you can have everything resolved without the police. My bank stopped the payment, Venmo settled the case 4 days later in my favor and unfroze my account.

To be clear, someone in a similar future situation (lmfao) should immediately email Venmo (as a record), then put stop payments on for the amounts with your bank.

I told Venmo that I met someone in my hotel room after visiting some bars, and that I did not know the individual. I had my phone unlocked, and the person sent themselves the money and left my room. That's literally all I told Venmo.

lol wait so she got a video of the dude with is hands down his pants, and she shows it off to co-workers? I mean great that she has witnesses I guess, but that could be sexual harassment in and of itself.

In my opinion as a professional office-dweller, fire them both and hose down their workstations with lysol because who knows what they've been doing there.

I'm sure the words would be "Clean out your desk and don't come back"

A lot of people old and young fail to realize that a coworker isn't automatically a social friend and all the jokey goof off stuff you'd do outside of work with a buddy is completely fireable if you are caught doing to/with a coworker.

That said, is she sending cleavage pics to guys in her social circle as a "here, go jerk off and leave me alone lol"? Because if so there's a lot more problems coming her way wrt her BF then just handsy drug dealer mcflirty getting her in trouble.

Far away in a living room two adjoining bedroom doors open and two obese appear, one in each doorway, with their apnea masks covering their faces. Each is greedily clutching a large bag of grated cheese recently pulled from their individual bedroom mini-fridges. Craving the dipping sauce for their cheese their eyes dart around the room hoping to spot the promised mayo before realizing it is not there and going back into their rooms to pull out the ranch instead.

God drat does it suck to be bisexual. If you’re a girl, guys either refuse to date you because you’re obviously a cheating slut, or they only date you because they think you’ll be down for threesomes. If you’re a guy, girls all think you’re full of aids and only dating women as cover.

And if you try to date gay, it’s just as lovely. Guy trying to date guys? You’re not a REAL gay and you’ll just leave them for a woman someday. Girl trying to date girls? Turns out lesbians are even pickier than insecure straight boys about whether a penis has ever touched your vagooter.

Also, according to gay people, being functionally kicked out of queer support networks and blacklisted on the non-het dating market is called “straight passing privilege” but if you ever date straight it’s proof you were only straight all along. You either stay closeted for life or you get treated like an outcast on both sides.

Okay I know this is from a million pages ago but I'm a bi married to a lesbian so I feel like I have to weigh in. This is pretty spot-on. Granted, I have very minimal experience dating lesbians but when I was dating, this was exactly my experience as a bi woman regardless of what sex I dated.

And I live in SAN FRANCISCO. Okay, not the city proper, but about 3 miles away, in the bay area, in the heart of the most LGBT friendly area in the world. Last week I was helped in an Ulta by a man wearing the most beautiful makeup and no one batted an eyelash except to admire his skills.

My wife and I had some pretty frank discussions when we started dating. To be totally honest? If I were a lesbian and were skeeved out by dicks, I would probably be skeeved out by women who were into dicks. (My wife is not skeeved out by me or my history, I'm just saying, I kinda get it.) And I get how hard it must be to always be wondering if she'll go the easy way out and end up with a dude. It happens ALL THE TIME. Even in this very thread we've discussed straight married women coming out as bi despite having never touched a woman, and people debating or deciding on the validity of their experiences. There's no right answer--you're either trusting what a person says about their sexuality and potentially getting fooled because let's be real here, it's not easy being queer, or you're doubting what they say because they ultimately chose a straight relationship, and are therefore biphobic.

I think the only option is to treat people well regardless of what they say their orientation is, and trust them if you trust them, because people can always screw you over regardless of their orientation. Bi people are no more likely to cheat than straights or gays, so.

Is there a way to recover deleted posts? I can get deleted threads, but....


Kiss Prank girl had a big meltdown, and I wanna know what happened. She posted about having bad dreams about a friend, and people assumed it was about the crush guy, to which she got weirdly defensive.

quote:

Apologize. That's how you will get people to leave you alone.

quote:

You’re such a clown rear end loser it’s ridiculous. I know everyone in your life just pretends to like you or is too scared to admit they don’t because you’re clearly a bully

quote:

It really does. You're getting heat because what you did was vile and cruel.

We as a society expect people to learn from mistakes. You made a mistake.

What people have a problem with is you showing no regret, shame, or willingness to *try* to make amends. THAT is why you are getting hounded.

So, either you make a new account and disappear, or take ownership of your mistake and for gently caress sake, apologize to the guy, for real, in person, maybe take a friend who has more than the emotional depth of a teaspoon to help you validate, that what you did was wrong, that you hurt a person, and that you will try to be better in the future.

I'm not writing you off as a person yet. Go become one.

Some people tried to be genuinely helpful and stuff, and then apparently some stuff went sideways, and she said some poo poo like "fine I'll just kiss him then" and more

quote:

Don't kiss him that's literally the worst way to make up. Even suggesting it means you still don't understand why what you did was wrong.

And then finally:

quote:

....What did you just say? What in the gently caress did you just say, you vile, evil, vindictive bitch?



God, I hope you become a good person someday. Even just a decent person, Even a bad person would be a step-up.

quote:

You are absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. I’m seriously, seriously dumbfounded that you’re still doubling down on this. You’re never going to be anything more than a nasty, petty, stuck up bitch. Good luck with that.

quote:

I'm sorry for any even remotely positive thing I've said about you. I know you're probably some 50 year old guy with nothing better to do at the moment, but on the off chance you're not, I truly am sorry. I stand by it,. You can become a good person, but saying it isn't important right now. It almost feels in poor taste, because you absolutely don't deserve it

quote:

You are the caricature of woman-kind that incels make up to hate on, except you actually exist. Holy poo poo.

I really really REALLY wanna know what that last few things she posted to make everyone turn on her that was defending her.

It's the sudden deleting of only the incriminating posts and keeping of the more normal ones, and wild attacking, that makes me think they're legit, not a troll

Boyfriend’s obsession with Dave Grohl getting out of hand.

quote:

Hi, my (F21) boyfriend (M20) have been together for a couple of months now, and everything has been going really well, he’s a really amazing guy and cute as! We like a lot of the same music, both love Foo Fighters ... however, recently he’s been getting really into Dave. He is constantly watching interviews of Dave, to the point where he’s ignoring me.

Last night, I tried to make a move on him, and he ACTUALLY rejected me because he was watching a clip of Dave Grohl. I love Foos but this is really starting to bother me? It’s like he I don’t exist, he’d rather be watching clips of Dave than being with me? All he does is talk about Dave loving Grohl.

Is there any way I can sort of tell him to tone down the Dave thing but also be supportive? He even looked up what brand of coffee Dave uses and I feel like this might be taking things a little too far .... please help, I feel like I’m going crazy.

It was a callback to this old post. It is what came to mind when I thought about who would need that much mayo.

quote:

My wife has a nasty habit of biting her nails. And she's not super on top of keeping her hands washed.

I like to eat handfuls of shredded cheese as a snack.

My wife will take my bag of cheese out of the fridge and stick her unwashed hand into my cheese, immediately after taking her fingers out of her mouth.

That is loving disgusting IMO. Now the whole bag of cheese is ruined, and my snack is gone.

So I started buying her her own bags of cheese. I clearly labeled each bag with either her name or mine.

FF to the next morning, and she has my bag of cheese. Hers is still sitting in the fridge (opened, and contaminated by her unwashed hands). She didn't bother checking the labels. So now she has two bags of cheese, and I have 0.

Next step: I buy a mini fridge and put it in my bedroom. We have seperate bedrooms, so I figured I was solving the problem.

But NO. 3 days later, I get home from work and she's sitting on my bed, eating my bag of cheese. There was still plenty of cheese in the main fridge. This is not a money issue. I don't care if she eats 100 bags of cheese. I just want my cheese to be my cheese, so I know it hasn't had unwashed hands in it.

So I installed a deadbolt on my bedroom door, and I keep my room locked whenever I am not home. Now my cheese is safe. My wife still has plenty of cheese to eat. She just no longer has access to my loving cheese.

She says it shouldn't matter, since we kiss all the time. But I don't want to eat cheese that has someone else's stale saliva on it. No matter how much I love her, food safety is food safety. She is introducing germs into a fertile breeding ground, and I just can't get over that. I need my cheese to be clean.

So, AITA?

A story in two parts

I want things to be how they used to be
submitted 7 months ago

quote:

I've been dating my partner for about a year now and have always thought he's the most wonderful person to come into my life. I've never trusted anyone the way I've trusted him and I just adore him. He's got his idiosyncrasies like anyone, but he's never had something that's been deal breaking - the worst thing is he struggles to deal with stress.

Anyhow, about a month ago he had a lousy day at work and I said something over the phone that I thought would be reassuring but ended up just triggering him a bit and he yelled. I told him to just focus on getting home, have a bath and something to eat and I'll talk to him when he's feeling better. I didn't find out until a week later, but it turns out that he went on tinder and just started swiping on everyone hoping to get a match. He claims to have deleted the app within an hour or so of downloading it and his reasoning is that he thought we were going to break up (I had absolutely no intention of this and I don't believe I spoke in a way that hinted at that) and he wanted to see if anyone else would accept him. I do genuinely believe that he regrets his actions. He burst into tears when I mentioned that I saw the tinder email on his lock screen when I went to put it on charge and the prospect of losing me really sent him into a panic.I've told him that if it happens again I will leave but...

I'm struggling to go back to feeling how I used to for him. I used to be so excited to see him and love doing all kinds of things for him just to see him smile. I'd hear my voice go up an octave when we spoke and the highlight of my week was getting to be with him.

I wanted to marry him

Nowadays... I just feel nothing.I'm trying so hard to get excited to see him and be with him but I'm just numb.He's assured me that he wants to keep trying and that he loves me and I so desperately want things to go back to how they were but I'm scared they won't. I had to go overseas for a few weeks and I'm finding that I don't miss him.I've never had that kind of unconditional trust and love with anyone else before and I just want it back.

Has this happened to anyone else? How did you deal with it? Did things work out??? I guess I need advice on how to deal with this and getting back into things. I want to keep trying.

All the comments: :sever:


I found my boyfriends break up plan and I'm just tired
submitted 2 days ago

quote:

Today I found my partners plan for breaking up with me - a dot point list. I called him and he came over and we talked. He said the spark is gone and I haven't done anything wrong, but he's been planning it for months.

Part of his break up plan was getting me a cat so that when he's gone I won't be lonely. I didn't know this when we got the cat. I thought we were making a commitment. Now everytime I look at the poor thing I feel sick in my stomach. I love him to bits but having him around hurts so drat much.

I feel used. He's been telling me he loves me for months but hasn't meant it. In the meantime, I've cooked and cleaned and tried my best for him. I even cooked his entire family Christmas dinner.

He's dropped this bomb on me 2 weeks into my postgraduate degree and I feel like my world is crumbling. In a day I've gone from happy to financially unstable, unable to eat, drink, sleep and concentrate, and questioning every friendship I have because if he's lied to me for so long, who else has? I'm considering dropping my postgraduate degree, I feel worthless and useless and I can't focus anymore.

I'm so tired of running as fast as I can to stay in the same place.

Edit: Thanks for all the encouragement and shared stories guys. I didn't anticipate this garnering much attention, I just needed to get it out somehow. The reason I mentioned my studies is because in the past I was really unwell and hospitalized for a long period which affected university. I feel like I've just gotten better and then been hit in the face with this. I wouldn't drop my degree solely because of a guy, I'm just at my wits end with life atm. My... Ex... Isn't a bad guy, he's just planned this in such a poo poo way. I'm not sure what will happen with the cat yet. He follows me everywhere but I feel sick everytime I see him. The poor loving thing didn't ask for this and we only got him a few weeks ago.

Edit 2: cat tax
