I Knew It Was BS | People Stories

[@theoutcastedchannel6212]

A story went crazy at my school that some high school boy groped another high schooler (f) on the bus ( context my county is super small. The one high school share buses with the middle school) as they were getting off at the middle school. Her story didnt add up. And he was literally holding his pack, waterbottle, jacket, and separate bag when he apparently groped her. The principal reviewed the bus camera video.. principal said that the boy had to a fucking magician to grope her while holding everything along with having over twenty other kids saying they didnt see him touch her. Turned out she wanted him to cheat on his girlfriend, he said no.. now if you bring it up she starts fake crying and her friends will attack you. ( it happened in my sophomore year, she was a junior) She straight up tried to ruin this dude life, schooling and literally everything. He was so freaked out. Now when I see him he just nods cause I was part of the few that took his side. Just didnt make sense how he did it

[@dx1450]

Faking a pregnancy is one of the worst things a woman can do, especially since it plays with the guy's emotions. What's even worse is actually getting pregnant in order to trap a man in a relationship, because then not only is he not happy, but she's also bringing a child into an unhappy situation.

A guy working in HR. I spoke to him a total of 3 times on separate occasions. In our first time meeting, he was friendly. The second time was a year later on a phone conference with him, my boss, and one other guy. He yelled at me while my boss was silent. The week before that call, I messaged my boss about my doctor's appointment dates. He didn't inform the HR department in time. It came up as unexcused absence during my appointment dates. HR guy thought it was his right to yell at me and make sarcastic remarks. I provided the doctor's excuses notes shortly after the phone call. The third time, was another year later. He acted like he didn't know me and then brought up my information in mid conversation. He definitely knew me and had my information in his head. I supposed he didn't think I remembered him. I kept my distance from him afterwards. I spoke to my boss, now ex boss b/c he got transferred, about HR guy. He confirmed that it was HR guy who was on the call.

8:10 This is often, but not always true. I tend to overexplain stuff because when I was younger my mom never believed me, especially when my story didn't match up against what a girl or another woman was telling her. So I try to give as much detail as possible so that as many specific details as possible can be verified.

Plus you have to realize that whenever you talk about something people are unfamiliar with, they have no idea what you're talking about. So it's better to give extra details now to prevent unneeded questions later.

Similar to 13:00, I got a lead on a sublet with more space and cheaper rent, and I made an appointment to check it out. But I kept seeing two wildly different names on the emails I exchanged with the lessee. Something seemed off, but I decided I'd still honor the appointment. Just before I went into the complex to visit the lessee, I noticed a woman walking her dog. I'd heard that asking current tenants about apartments was a great way to find out about things the leasing office wouldn't tell you. So I asked the lady to tell me a little about the place, because I was considering subletting an apartment there. Lo and behold, she informed me tenants weren't allowed to sublet; the leasing agreement expressly forbid it. I went back home and emailed the guy I'd been talking to about this info, and he never responded.

Exactly. I wish my parents had listened (but heaven forbid I have anything that may paint my mother in a bad light... ANYTHING.)... numerous NUMEROUS teachers suggested I get tested for autism. Parents FINALLY claimed to agree, took me to my PASTOR who told me to stop listening to the devil. Told school a psychiatrist said i was normal, just lazy. I was 40(ish) when finally diagnosed. Yes. On the spectrum. How did I get through school, years of therapy, etc, with nobody else catching on? I became a chameleon... mimicking what was going on around me. Still can't look into eyes - it's like lightening bolts shoot through me, its literally painful. So, to torture me (train me), i had to look in my mother's eyes when talking to her. Did I? No. I learned to look at her eyebrows, and I do this with everyone. So many years wondering what was wrong with me, why couldn't I be more normal? So many struggles that, with support, I could have overcome quicker or found easier (at least, less painful than the beatings I got for "being out of line") ways to manage in a world full of neurotypical people.

My first job out of high school was with an MLM/Pyramid Scheme. I was so excited that I'd gotten my first ever job,. It was Fall 2020, so like the middle-ish of the pandemic (god willing lol), so I was desperate for money. Took two days off from college and missed essential classes and shit for two ALL DAY TRAINING MEETINGS that were miserable. Realized when they had us calling family and friends to recruit them or have them buy product that it was time to get out. I was suspicious from the start, but again, I needed the money. Never got anything, lol. Just gonna stay in my field of study when it comes to jobs. No 'wonderful opportunities' for me. EDIT: Eyyyy vector marketing in this vid! Kids, run far away from the group interviews. Honestly, that was my first red flag, but I went with it anyway.

[@bigbuffalophill]

Lmaooo a couple of weeks ago I got a letter from "The city of Mcallen" (neighboring city) telling me they had job opportunities so I assumed maybe some sort of minimum wage job working for the city, but the letter was super sketchy after reading it again and again. So I give it a chance anyway cause I needed a job so I sign up on some site of theirs and receive a text from them giving me instructions for a video meeting. So I go to the damn video meeting a couple of days later and that's when I have this lady speaking like she's trying to sell me something instead of a normal work interview. So at that point (about 30 seconds into the chat) I'm already convinced to not join them but I stick around a bit see what the other people are getting themselves into. So once I had heard enough just turn on my mic on my PC and I tell the lady it's a hard pass for me on their little scheme they got going on and leave the video chat

Susan Smith. She told police her two young sons were kidnapped by a man who stole her car with them in it. I was watching a press conference with my mom and aunt and uncle where she and her ex-husband were pleading for the boys' return. The distraught father went first. When Smith said her piece, I called BS and said she knows exactly what happened to those kids, her body language was all wrong, etc. Everyone was shocked that I would say that about a grieving mother. It was no surprise to me when it came out she'd killed her two little boys herself.

My mother also called BS on that story, but I don't remember why she thought it was BS.

It sounds like authorities agreed that you shouldn't leave windows open during a tornado, but the idea isn't "the stupidest thing I've ever heard". The thought is that doing so will equalize the air pressure in your house with the air outside. Apparently, this won't really help enough to matter in a tornado, but air pressure differences between the inside and outside are a real thing and are accounted for in the design of buildings.

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Older buildings, however, suck in that event. I was in an older converted home (2 apartments and a communal basement), and we lived in the upstairs apartment. Had that Dereche (spelling) storm that hit virginia... shoot, what was it... 8? 9? 10? Years ago. Because of threat of rain due to the clouds, I closed all the windows... then realized, things weren't "right". Get to the basement (go outside, down wood then stone steps, around corner, open stubborn old door...) Front door did NOTwant to open. Finally, managed, got teen son, hubs and self tmdown to basement door. Hubs and i struggled for 5 minutes to open the door... and i looked up snd saw a tornado forming above us. Thankfully, it didn't hit - it ended up removing about a mile-long swatch of trees and a vacation/hunting cabin that was unoccupied. That was the day I realized... air pressure can be some SERIOUS pressure. And... I also started paying closer attention to my gut instinct. I still think, even with the "miss" of the tube of wind, if we had been upstairs, things would have felt way way worse. As it was, my son had quite a few PTSD episodes (and had therapy to help him process, so he's much better now) from the fear & trauma - he had been trying to get me to look up at the clouds and I couldn't hear him between us trying to open that stupid door & all the wind. I never felt his hand gripping my shirt, either. In my mind, he was where I had placed him... behind a heavy iron table we had set up to be used on sunny days when doing laundry down there. I had no idea he saw the clouds & was trying to warn us. I still carry guilt for that, but I keep trying to forgive myself for "in the moment" having tunnel vision.

My father, a Vietnam Veteran had his hand shaken and thanked for his service a few weeks back. The man who approached him said that he liked my father's hat. The man then said " I never know whether to wear my Vietnam hat or my desert storm one " Later on my father was behind this gentleman at the counter and the man said " Not bad for a 63 year old " My father did the math and this would have made the Gentleman 17 during the final year of America's involvement in the Vietnam War.

Not out of the realm of possibility. Many people from the past have stated that they joined the military at a younger age than what was allowed. Some as young as fourteen to seventeen.

[@hendyallen5993]

@@jaredharbin5968 possible but unlikely. The wars were people could sign up without a birth certificate or ID pretty much ended with Korea. In fact my father had to hide his hearing loss from his first tour of Vietnam to get back into the Army after he got out. Think of the timeframe. Vietnam was a period in which the military was hated. Hippies would attack, spit on and harrasse military personnel. My father was persecuted by his girlfriends parents one time because they found out that he was military. So yes it is possible but due to the updated paperwork of the military in Vietnam era and the attitude of civilians at the time, this is most likely a case of stolen valor.

In the 70s, we were advised by the weather people to open our windows when tornado warnings came out because it was thought that it would help prevent our houses from being destroyed by the winds. It was odd, and made no real sense, but that was the advice.

I can’t remember if I fully smelled the bull**** but I definitely thought it was weird. My elementary School had a lot of safety kidnap prevention presentations/assemblies after one kid claimed to have been almost kidnapped on school property. He said he was at school on the weekend (the part I definitely found weird) and a man tried to kidnap him but he got away. The principal made an announcement once this came to light. I can’t remember if the assemblies were before we learned he was a liar or made after just to go over safety.

[@KanOfSoda]

I remember when I was working at a restaurant there used to be this creepy looking guy who would give toys/only talk to kids or female co-workers. From the very beginning I did not trust him at all, because interacting with only kids and females felt like a huge red flag. Turns out I was right, because according to my manager, he was harassing people, and my ex-friend told me about how he continuously bothered her. My manager warned him several times to stop doing it, he didn't listen, and he was eventually permitted from going to our place forever, which I was so relieved about. His very presence made me uncomfortable. Bonus: On the day he was finally kicked out, my manager told us that if he ever came back, we should let her know so she could call mall security (we were at a strip mall). And later that day (I was off shift so I didnt see it) he apparently came in, and security had to drag him out.

Dude I work with and i hunt. We were talking about it one day and he said he/his family has a tradition to take a bite out of the still beating heart of whatever deer they kill. A: GREAT sense of time of you can pull that off B: I doubt he knows what a heart looks like if it's not tied to valentines day, let alone where it is or what it looks like beating and C: the next hunting season rolls around, and I ask him if he had any luck. HE EMPTIED AN ENTIRE, 7 ROUND CLIP, ON ONE DEER, AND ONLY SAW A SMALL BIT OF FUR. I'm not saying he didn't kill the deer, just that, despite what he swears is true, he's actually a cr*p shot. I think it's safe to say anybody reading this knows EXACTLY the type of guy he is/tries to be.

I don't get the wife lying about having never seen Breaking Bad. I just tell people "I've seen a few episodes. (2~3) And I recognize it's a good show. It's just not for me. I can't get into it." And if they come with "Well it gets really good after X episodes!" I reply "I shouldn't have to suffer through X episodes of stuff I don't like to get to the good parts. If a show can't hook me in 2~3 episodes, it's not for me." Has always worked for me so far. With multiple shows. Namely Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Black Mirror, The walking dead, and 2~3 other shows. Modern themes and plots for shows just don't appeal to me. Especially Netflix originals and the like.

This is long, so I’ll just put the tldr here. I was scammed and realized at the last minute. Unfortunately I realized it was BS when it was already too late, so idk if this qualifies. But I was in my second year of college looking to do work study through the school. I got an email from an “employer” that basically stated I only needed to do errands for them and they would send me the money to complete these tasks as “they were out of town”. Keep in mind I never had a job before, so I didn’t know how interviews or anything worked. I was sent a check in the male to complete these errands, but first I had to deposit it into my bank account. In the meantime, my “boss” for whatever reason didn’t have access to their funds atm so needed me to send them $800. My school had refunded me the remaining loans I had after covering my classes, so I had $1200 for transportation, textbooks, etc. Idk why I believed this bull crap so much, but I wasn’t aware of scams and what they tried to do to get you. So far, I’d only had experience with scam calls trying to get me to buy tickets for cruises 🙄 So, when I was told to go to Walmart and send the money through Western Union (🤦🏾‍♀️), I was none the wiser. However, because the line was so long, it was taking me a while. My “boss” began texting me back to back, and I noticed they were using emojis and spelled some words wrong. But I brushed it aside and kept reassuring them that I was in the line and getting closer. Then, when it was finally my turn, I had an issue with transferring the funds and had to send my sister money and have her send it back to me a certain way (it was all very long winded and taking more time basically). Again, my boss kept blowing me up back to back until finally I was able to transfer $808 (there was a fee) to the account given to me. I then texted one last time that the funds were sent and all of a sudden my bosses mood changed. They sent me a smiling emoji and thanked me. It was at that moment that I started to feel like something was wrong (like wtf why the hell was my gut feeling so slow???). I then texted again and asked if this was actually real and received the message that “Yeah I’m totally legit” from a supposed professional CEO… My heart literally dropped when I read that, but it wasn’t til the next day that I responded saying I now knew this was a scam and told them congrats they stole money from a broke college student then promptly blocked them. Not that it mattered anyway. Their fake check bounced of course, so I had to explain the situation to make bank to get them to unfreeze my account then told my dad and step mom what happened. They both basically said there was nothing that could be done, especially since the address given to me was based in CA and my piece of crap college basically quickly covered their butts by sending out an email the next morning warning students to watch out for fraudulent emails pretending to be job offerings… fml Edit: Btw it didn’t help that when I told my sister about the job, as well as her best friend who was in the room too at the time, they were just as excited as me and were even a bit envious 🤦🏾‍♀️I could have also been saved from this on my way to send the money, but I didn’t go into detail when my dad asked about the job as I was getting ready to head out the door. If I had explained everything, my dad said he would have told me it was a scam. But stupid me was irritated that he was questioning me (to put it simply, my relationship with my dad was strained and one of my triggers was him questioning my decisions) , plus I already called for an Uber.

It really depends on the group, but yeah, there can be plenty of toxic churches who somehow managed to miss the point. I was going to a Methodist Church pre-2020, and I never heard anything like what you posted. But at the same time, I also once saw some *insane* "Christian" Lutherean in the YT comments saying shit that Jesus Christ *NEVER* told anyone to do. Maybe she was a troll, but I genuinely think she was under a hell of a lot of stress. This was January 2016, and it was under some random P.S.A. video where a father had died (I forget the exact video,) and the Mother and her 13 (or so) year old son were at the funeral. Anyhow, this darn "Christian" kid (not the one in the video,) her screen name was "Mrs Luke Arnold" or something close to that. She was literally yelling in all caps "SHE'S A WIDOWER, SO LET'S PRAY FOR HER TO ROT IN HELL!" - Now, I tried my damndest to convince her that she was wrong *BY QUOTING THE BIBLE LIKE SHE SHOULD HAVE CONSULTED,* and she just ignored me that God is about *LOVE* here, and she said with the laziness of punctuation and spelling that only either a lazy or badly supported 13 year old could achieve, "god h8s liars like u ur weak im strong" (that's as close as I remember, no punctuation.) She blocked me, kept shitting on everyone, and I later checked and saw that her account was suspended. Oh, and that night after she blocked me, I dreamed that I was in the basement of a Church with some 13 or 14 year old girl, and she got Blue Battery Acid on her hands. I moved her to the sink immediately to wash it off, put her hands under the water, and she dissolved before I realized what happened. I somehow thought of the word "Vitriol," and then I looked it up. It could mean something acidic, or it could mean harsh criticism, like she was vomiting over everyone; either one fits, and the dream perfectly explains symbolically what happened.

Captain Sir Tom Moore, 99, British war veteran who served in Burma (now Myanmar) in the 14th Regiment, walked for 1 1/2 miles in his back garden in 2020 to raise money for the healthcare cult that is the state funded NHS (National Health Service) in the midst of the COVID hellscape of 2020. He was thrusted onto the BBC (another cult) by his daughter who worked for the BBC prior to 2020 to show him what he was doing. To cut a long story short, the whole of the UK went nuts for this elderly chap, who was doing a good deed and had good intentions but with help from the BBC and the media circus, his greedy daughter and son in law pilfered the charity money, £32m (around $40m USDollars) and as a result built a spa for themselves and the charity money was also pilfered for their Range Rover Vogue, their mortgage free life and a spa building outside their home which they did not have planning permission for and were forced to tear it down this January. Captain Tom died of COVID after a holiday to Barbados, all paid for by a wealthy donor whilst people were stuck, not able to go far to get a carton of milk without pretending to go for a jog.
