Sending every single poster here a huge HUG
I think, having read through this thread, that we can all agree on one thing- men are trash
who the hell do these creeps think they are? Not as bad as some of your stories by a long stretch, but when I worked in that pub (I was 15/16, far too young to be there really, my mum wasn't happy with me working there but I initially wanted to and insisted), I was a bar waitress, took drinks orders, collected glasses etc, I spent most of the shifts standing/walking around. I working during the country music band night every Saturday and there was one particular man there nearly every week, in his 40s maybe, who was always drunk and slurry, always complimenting me and putting his arms around me, pulled me down onto his lap a couple of times. I hated it and dreaded seeing him, but it's weird, at the time I thought that he wasn't really meaning me any harm and I thought he was just drunk, but I see now how inappropriate it was, especially given my age. But the worst one that I knew wasn't right - the last one, actually - was he put his arm around my shoulder when I was standing at the bar, and he pulled me in and licked my ear. It was absolutely disgusting
and the men all working there seen it and thought it was hilarious
I left not long after (was wanting out anyway) and was so relieved to get out of there.
Your stories about seeing figures are so scary, and I'm now worried I'm going to start seeing them
I've never seen a person but there have been a couple of occasions when I've woken up and seen things that weren't there, like the hallway table beside the bed, I seen it clear as day and wondered why it had been put there. I reached my hand out to touch it but it just went through it, and it shortly faded away, very strange.
Another story, not a creepy thing to happen to me as such, but something (and someone) I find very creepy... I had the misfortune of living with this girl in uni during first year in halls, and she was a pathological liar. She told me this whole story about how she was raped by a man her father knew. I was so upset for her and felt sick to my stomach about the whole thing, she then told my friend who also lived with us about it then next day, except every single detail was different. She told me that the man had moved abroad, and that if her daddy knew, "he would get on a plane to kill him"... but she told my friend he lived in a nearby town and she still seen him around, and he smirked at her when he seen her. I asked her gently, "did you not say he moved away?" she heard me asking, but carried on talking as if she hadn't. I know if something like that happened your mind could play tricks and change/block things out, but she changed the entire story, including the man and where and how it happened, and we're absolutely certain she made the whole thing up. And how dare she? It absolutely disgusts me how somebody could lie about something so horrific that so many people have had to go through, including my best friend
I know for sure that she is a pathological liar as she lied about other things all the time, she seemed to lie about everything and thrive on drama - all of it make-believe. Get this! She sent text messages to herself, and saved her number as our other friends' boyfriend's name, and made out that he was texting her all these flirty things when he wasn't, she was sending them to herself to make it look that way. We checked the number. She also made up a boy she pretended to be seeing, and told us all these wild, crazy, passionate sex stories, her phone rang and she had told us it was him phoning to arrange hooking up etc... well, she left her phone unattended later and we couldn't help but have a look to see... and it was her brother who had phoned her
we just went with it, just to see how much she would continue to lie, and she did! I was so glad when she moved out of our halls, I had zero time for her, couldn't stand her by that stage. And then there was one time years after uni, I was fundraising outside a supermarket and she was there and stopped to talk to me, told me about how her father had brain cancer and he'd just had brain surgery and was lying in the hospital fighting for his life, I told her I was so sorry to hear that. I was gutted for her and I thought surely she wouldn't lie about such a thing. Well, I seen him a couple of days later doing a grocery shop in Tesco with her brothers, he was in perfectly fine health!
