[@lonniemeyer7232]

The first story really hits home for me. In 2001,my ex wife took the bus home from work. She was harassed by a homeless guy. He followed her off the bus and chased after her. She got to the pharmacy nearby and begged them to let her in because they were closed. They let her in and locked the door before the guy got to it. And then threatened to call the cops. She called me and I rushed home from work. I looked for the guy after hearing the description. Didn’t find him. Several months later while watching the news,the cops caught a serial rapist in our city. She cried and told me that was the guy that followed her that night. To say I was enraged and disappointed that I didn’t find him,still bothers me.

[@allisoncastle]

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

Flirting can lead to cheating. I would expect my husband to leave me if I got drunk, flirted with a dude, and spilled all our marriage problems out to some stranger. She gave him her phone number obviously and the way she talked about her husband was trash. And, she lied. How’d she wire 3k and her husband not notice unless they have separate bank accounts but she said he brings in the income. Same for my husband. He’d get the “to the left…you must not know bout me.”

I was roofied when I was around 24 as well. I told the guy I needed to use the bathroom and watch my drink the moment I started to feel off after only having 2 beers. Luckily he didn't catch on. I found my friends and told them something was wrong, and then I lost feeling in my legs and my vision was going in and out.

They're his kids, too - he doesn't need me to help anymore than I need him to. Of course we do everything together when we're both home. But we're each fully competent and capable of taking care of the kids by ourselves when we need to. I really wonder why so many women put up with that bullsh*t.

[@bloom392]

​@@leahcimolrac1477 So going out only once a month to get drunk is too much? When you're stuck in a marriage that you literally cannot afford to get out of, how do you expect to find any solace in living a miserable life? She wanted out and didn't have the money to do so. going out ONCE A MONTH was the only thing she had

[@leahcimolrac1477]

@@bloom392 Her attitude sucks. If she pointed to something specific that her husband was doing then I might agree with you. She had the typical “woe is me” tone of viewing everyone else as the burden. Maybe she should have communicated how unhappy she was instead of scheming behind his back? Maybe she could have found a healthier outlet or gotten a job? Gone to school for some job training and found a career if she felt she had no independence? Offered to try couple’s counseling? If you decide to get married and have children, time to grow up instead of engaging in absolutely fruitless activity while blaming someone else.

[@SilentDecepticon]

Yeah, I definitely think that if she'd just talked to her husband and apologized instead of paying the random guy 3,000 dollars and lying for weeks it probably wouldn't have been such a big deal. But then again, that marriage was doomed from the start based on how she described everything.

[@voodooskunk]

The ending was the worst part. "Ladies, don't reveal your deepest darkest secrets to a random man at the bar." NO! That was not the lesson here! If she had said something like "appreciate what you have," or "enjoy the time with your family," or even, "try to work on your marriage," then at least we might think she had learned something.

​@@irinagostin4071 More than likely the girl and her boyfriend have a sort of game where they do this to guys. I've seen it before with other people I know, I mean not on that level of violence, but the basic idea of the girl intentionally flirting with a guy, and then her bf comes in to "save the day" and tell the guy off/push him around. It's like a role playing game at other peoples' expense where he gets to feel like a white knight and she gets to feel like a princess,

Every time you get drunk in a bar could end up scary. I have had two knifes and a gun pulled on me over the years. The gun was from a girl at a Bachelorette party. I was just chatting with the lady to be married. She was flirting with me, her sister didn't like that to much.

Married miserable housewife did not deserve the extortion from a d bag at the bar … But she was like the perfect example of why I believe it’s a genuine mistake to marry any woman that isn’t independent.

[@idkidk4334]

2:00 video starts

[@kumikosaruwatari4669]

Story #5 - I think the lady omitted and added other things from/to the story. I suspect the guy at the bar was purposely placed to lure her...maybe from her husband to get a "clean" divorce and custody of the kids. Think about it out of all the women she says she was with...yeah the guy happened to single her out. So either she's lying about meeting him with her girlfriends or she was set up. Also if you are a stay at home wife with no income of your own, why would you wire 3 grand from an account that your husband has access to. This is stupid and a clear sign of set up. I think her husband knew that she was unhappy and thinking of filing for divorce since she clearly has no problem telling people about her marriage problems. He simply beat her to it. There are people in this world that lend themselves for a fee to set up others.

[@nicolemink5630]

Every story was incredible! Great job, I end up with goosebumps and holding my breath 😅

[@TheBearAspirin]

Story 1: "It was insane how incredibly unhelpful they (cops) were". Sadly, you didn't do ANYTHING to help your situation: This is a time when you're locked in your apartment with no phone hoping your roommate will unknowingly walk into a potentially dangerous situation? Pound on the neighbor's walls with a hammer screaming for help. Open the apartment windows, throw out glass to break and make as much noise while you scream "FIRE" Yell out the locked door and pretend your on the phone with the cops. Falling asleep hoping your roommate will cruise in and save you is sort of the last option and frankly, stupid.

[@Iuxinterior]

not a lot of intelligence in these stories

[@simplemookie]

Fight or flight hers was sleep tho 😂😂

[@scallopohare9431]

Yeah, letting a roommate just walk into a potential madman was not nice at all.

[@creepdolly3914]

YES! i was listening to this story like this person is an idiot... they had a phone! they tried to previously call the damn roommate and they didn't answer so why then did they not call for help or go someplace else close? You do NOT lead the weirdo to your home, for crying out loud! The fact that they literally ran away with the phone at first, why would they put it away in their pocket so they could drop it instead of just straight up calling the cops while she was on her way? she said it was a 15 min walk.. and in all that time before she sprinted, she never bothered to try to call the police, but stood there screaming about a creepy dude on the other side of the door... the entire story was terribly annoying and frustrating. Could have yelled out of the window, gone and seen if a laptop was in your roommates room, signed into a messenger and asked a friend to send the cops to you, or even facebook, something, anything! yelled for neighbors. tbh she could have turned up some music super loud so the neighbors would call the police about the noise. Instead she goes and has a nap and potentially lets the roommate get done in by the creeper :/

Wondering if there is a scary story about a guy in a bar, who stabbed a robber 😝

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

I feel like the main problem with a lot of ppl in these stories is that they’re too timid and afraid of confrontation, they’re too scared to anger a person to realize that they’re already angry and want to hurt u so talking won’t help. I tried to calm down a situation by talking and I ended up getting jumped that’s when I realized there’s no point in talking if u see a tense situation just leave and if u can’t leave say firmly that u don’t want trouble so it’s known that you’re not the aggressor and if they still persist then attack them as viciously as u can if u have a fun shoot them if u have a knife stab them u can’t be afraid to hurt or kill someone cause then it’s u that will be on the wrong end of it. I always carry at least 1 knife and I don’t want to hurt anybody but if someone wants to hurt me then I feel absolutely no guilt or remorse I’m going to cut u up and all I’ll think about is if the situation was reversed would u have sympathy for me? Would u show me mercy? Probably not so you’ll get none from me

[@danielaaguilar7247]

The fact that I was thinking of commenting the I like listening to the stories while I clean before I clicked on the video & the intro is “I know a lot of you listen while doing house work” 💀

[@theprowler6311]

Alright Joel just in time with the great content

[@michael9085]

Great video!!

I don't condone the actions of guy from the last story, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't admire his determination and love for his children. He resorted to a life of crime just to ensure that his kids were fed and had a roof over their head. Not a lot of peoole care enough about their children to go that far and it's unfortunate how many children suffer because of this. Still a pretty messed up story though. 🥴

[@spencerh2860]

Yo LR crew. Loving the content as always Joel, best narrator on YT for sure! are you ever gonna do a face reveal ?

[@tricebreanne9131]

Probably not. He said in one of his videos he has a stalker chick obsessed with finding out who he is

[@BitchChill]

@@tricebreanne9131 I'll find her

Story 5 - red flags galore. It’s weird af this man gets annoyed looking after his kids once a month. Also not sure why dummies who are unhappy in relationships don’t consider leaving/divorcing. Because cheating seems like the better option? All this from a “long hug”? At the end of the night? Pretty sure it’s not good times spilling your guts to a complete stranger. She’s shocked about the consequences from her actions? Big yikes.

Can we get a like and a hallelujah for Let's Read always putting timestamps in the description 👍👍👍

[@ellesandralady8596]

Love the video ready ❤❤❤

[@ScullyPop]

The narrator's voice is like a dream.

[@sidneydehaan7594]

Truly the best

[@rchltrrs]

That last story was messed up. He said he's not a bad person but he hurt people and he claims he would undoubtedly do it again? I would say that def makes him a bad person. Also, "I did what anyone would do. I robbed bars." I'm sorry, what?!? That is not the first thing most people think of. I'm not sure how he skipped past trying to find a social worker and applying for unemployment, food stamps or whatever and went straight to robbing people. Also, I call bull that the child protective services worker assigned to his case would be satisfied with him not having a job but suddenly having money.

[@chloe964]

I felt the same way. Glad to see someone else agrees. He was not a good person for what he did.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

The story about wiring the $3,000 was insultingly fake. I actually laughed out loud. Save it for Wattpad.

[@hazelmill20]

I was merely skeptical until the end when she said her husband got custody of the kids. That completely gave it away. In America a woman has to be a complete raving lunatic or hardcore drug addict to lose custody. And even then sometimes it’s iffy

[@BlessedBanter]

How is everyone in every single one of these stories 6’4 male and goes to the gym and every female is under 5 feet tall?

[@Kieran.Robertson]

That’s how it should be lol

[@SonOfABith]

It’s a way for women to cope knowing not every guy is 6’4.

[@StJimmy-hj1bo]

*hears one story : “omg everyone in everY story is the samE”

[@maxncheese5216]

Omg that last one hit hard

[@priscillafuentes8663]

Interestingly, I live in San Jose, California. Wonder what sports bar? This was at.
