The two stories where the creep actually tried to go after a child with the parent present were very unsettling.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Thank you! I was just saying that the dog guy (for example) was trying to groom the children right in the parent's face. He'd have made himself known as "the dog man," likely started "innocent" conversation about where they go to school and/or live, and if they just "happened" to see him again, he could be like, "Remember me? Come play with my dog." Also, parents need to teach children to not interact with strangers just because they have a pet, given how that's the number one thing child predators bait children with.

[@michelehemlokhexwhite4310]

​@@LadyAstarionAncunin That, and candy, ice-cream, and 'your parents asked me to pick you up.' :/

[@Stealthhayes93]

especially when the mom is just standing there acting like she can't do anything about someone taking photos of your kid in poses? shotgun scenario for sure.

[@bombdotcom2168]

Stories like that make me really glad my dad was always pretty protective of me growing up because he wouldn't tolerate anything like that-

[@Rey_Palpatine]

Those guys would've "mysteriously disappeared" if they tried that with a kid in my family 💀

[@Mr.andMrs.Smith_0420]

How the hell could that mom just stand there and let some creep take pictures of her kid?! THAT should've been the point you kicked him out of your house, jfc 🤦‍♀️

[@d.b.9058]

Bad parenting and she didn't care...

[@Mr.andMrs.Smith_0420]

[@Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

I used to want tattoos but then realized being covered in thick hair would make them kinda pointless

[@Triqii]

That’s the part of tattoos a lot of people don’t think about. Like yes it looks good but does it look good ON you or just on your screen. Commend you for foresight

[@bloodyhellkatie4288]

Get your hair lasered in the spots you get your tattoos

[@Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

[@ihateurlifemore]

yes, but if you are covered, you are less likely to be killed by a serial killer... b/c you are easily identified. 😁

wax, shave, or laser. Although idk if any places will take a bigfoot, lol

[@nicoleadams7734]

I wanted more of that story! I wanna know what the other said, did he show them the tentacle? I loved that story.

[@payne.tattoo]

[@robynsmith4164]

To the girl in the last story: You really HAVE to learn to tell people no. Seriously! You told the guy that you DO HAVE a boyfriend and when he mentioned how it didn’t matter and he still wanted to take you out to dinner anyway… Well, he was already putting you down before he even knew you by insinuating that you are a cheater by asking for your number even though you JUST told him you have a boyfriend! If a guy ever does that again, tell him NO, you are NOT interested and mention that you would NEVER cheat on your man. If he is giving you the creeps by acting like you’re in a secret relationship, just remember that you gave him that idea. You told him you had a boyfriend THEN went ahead and gave him your phone number anyway. You need to tell him as soon as you possibly can that you are not interested in dating him, you already have a boyfriend and for him to please never call you again. You can even tell him that you didn’t want to give him your number in the first place and you’re sorry if you confused him. You could even text him saying this! If he ever tries to call you or follow you around at work after you tell him these things, then you have EVERY RIGHT to report him to your supervisor at work. I would also let your boyfriend know what is going on so he has your back if this guy starts giving you ANY problems! Good luck girl, you can do it! ♥️😁

[@maryyomommma123]

Not the guy from htc is it

[@conorgraves]

Okay the squid story was fire. I’ve accidentally hooked a stingray and a seagull believe it or not. Thankfully both were released without too significant of an injury. I don’t want to hurt a fish or any creatures really, unless I plan to eat them.

[@wplains]

I forbade my children from getting tattoos while they were under my roof. At the time (teens) they were angry. Now, as adults, they say thank God you never let us mutilate ourselves!

[@Panzoura]

Thanks for your regular uploads let’s read. Much appreciated ❤ You always keep me company in both my jobs

The short rest stop story about the vending machine people, could be a guy man hookup site. They're just hanging out waiting for someone who might be game. Atleast that's my theory

[@ViktoriaEvans]

That squid story pissed me off. They're such intelligent and beautiful creatures... that idiot ripped its arm off for literally no reason.

[@crystalcoull-perry2389]

You are amazing! I've been listening for 3 years now, and you never disappoint. I take you in the car with me, shower and bed 😂

[@crystalcoull-perry2389]

Edit, it's been 6 years Holly hell!!

[@mojo3318]

LOL.

[@SNixon14]

The last story, I know telling some creepy older man that he is making you uncomfortable, believe me I know. I, myself am shy and find it difficult to speak up. But this man is never going to leave you alone until you tell him to back off, to leave you alone and if he still persists, threaten to call the police. People really need to stop being so polite and nice to strangers if they are making them feel uncomfortable, it's really not helping their situation. I really did enjoy listening to the video as usual.

[@wplains]

I just don’t understand these people. I’m icy cold to strangers and certainly would never answer any kind of personal questions. These girls are way too trusting.

[@nicoleadams7734]

I got no closer from the squid story. Did he show them the tentacle? What did they say? 😢

[@Isthisyourspoon]

Doesn't matter if I'm not awake for the streams cause you always post at bedtime (for me ) anyway. Thanks Joel!

That guy at the 🚛 stop wanted to hook up in the bathroom. I doubt he wanted to hurt or rob him. In some of these stories the people can be really dramatic.

*Story number 2: “the theory is that it was a knife…” 😐 No, it was a unicorn horn…*

[@Thateeveegirl]

The guy with the dog is a creep. The only reason he would stay for so long is if he was waiting for you to be looking away for long enough or for you to go to the bathroom to you know kidnap them I’ve been through the same situation, but I was a kid and I was actually smart enough to know that this guy was no good.

Story 10: I've heard this story before, and it irritated me so much that I had to skip it this time. Her boyfriend was SO LAME. She should have questioned her taste. He doesn't seem to have even liked her, always having her come see him. He was either not that into her or a cheapskate or both (either way, he wasn't worth it). His roommate probably hated women and/or had a thing for her BF. People who have unwarranted aggression like that typically have some secret reason. Or maybe she reminded him of someone he hated. Or she was actually annoying. Either way, he was a sadistic psychopath, and her boyfriend was the limpest of noodles.
