I basically do nothing at work but my boss thinks I'm an exceptional employee

I work as an engineer in the construction industry. As you probably know, people in this field are always stressed. They work ten to twelve hour days, sometimes on weekends, and have to handle a ton of different tasks all at once. Here is the thing though. I do none of that. My job is just to handle reports and other paperwork. On a typical day, I come in, look at a few things, send some messages, and then I am done. I could finish my entire workload in an hour or less. But I pretend to be busy before I leave early almost every day. My boss, who is located somewhere else, has never noticed this. Every time we talk, he praises me for being hardworking and a crucial member of the team. Before you all start hating me, I feel so useless because of this. I secretly hate my job and I am trying to find a new one. #WorkLife #Confessions #Engineering #CorporateLife #LazyEmployee #Funny #Discussion #CareerAdvice #JobCareer #Job

I Got Free Meals For Weeks By Crashing Different Funerals

A few years ago I was completely broke and trying to find a job. I was living on ramen and cheap pasta and I was getting pretty desperate. I had this totally wild idea. I realized that if you check the local paper or church bulletin there is a funeral almost every day and with funerals there is always a reception afterward with food. My plan was simple. I would put on a button-up shirt show up a little late and just quietly slip into the crowd. I found that nobody questions the quiet person in the corner who takes a plate and looks a little sad. I had amazing food. We are talking roast beef sliders pasta salad and even lemon squares. It was so much better than what I could actually afford to eat. This whole thing worked for three straight weeks. Free meals multiple times a week. I even started to recognize some of the same funeral directors. One day a director gave me this really weird look and I knew my luck had run out. I finally stopped and went back to buying my own groceries. But yeah for almost a month I survived just by being the random mourner in the back loading up on sandwiches that were meant for the grieving. #Survival #LifeHack #BrokeLife #Humor #Grief #FunnyStory #Confessions #FreeFood #Funeral #Food #Foodie

My dad's secret search history is evidence that he wants to cheat😳🤯

I never thought I’d be writing this, but here I am, feeling angry, confused, and honestly, a little disgusted. My family—just my mom, dad, and me—has always seemed pretty normal. We live in a conservative city, and I’ve always respected my dad, the only man in our house. But everything changed when I stumbled upon the search history on our family TV. The searches were all about women’s bodies—stuff like “braless videos” and “breast enlargement massages.” I know it wasn’t me or my mom, so it had to be him. Now, I can’t stop wondering what else he’s hiding. Is he just curious, or is there something darker? Should I confront him? Tell my mom? Or just ignore it and pretend nothing happened? I feel like my trust in him is broken, and I don’t know how to fix it. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Please, I need someone to talk to—this is eating me up inside! 🙃😬😵‍💫 #FamilyTrust #Secrets #Confessions #RelationshipAdvice #RomanticRelationships

Hiding My True Self from My Family—For Safety?

Sometimes, I wonder if anyone else has to fake their whole life just to feel safe at home. I created a whole new identity online, just so my controlling parents wouldn't find out I'm queer. It's wild—my online friends know me as "Alex," a totally different person with a made-up family and even a fake pet dog. 🐶 Every day, I have to remember which stories I've told and which details I've changed. It's exhausting, but the fear of being found out is even worse. I wish I could just be myself without worrying about my family's reaction. Have you ever had to hide a part of yourself from your family? How did you deal with it? Let's talk about it—maybe we can help each other feel a little less alone. 💬 #FamilyStruggles #OnlineSafety #Identity #Confessions #FamilyRelationships

How I Became a Secret Pet Parent (And Survived) 🐾

Ever wanted a pet so badly that you’d do just about anything—even hide one from your parents? That was me, sneaking a tiny kitten into my room and turning my closet into a secret cat condo. I thought I had it all figured out: air fresheners, hidden litter box, and even a playlist to cover up the meows. But the stress of dodging my mom’s surprise room checks and my dad’s suspicious sniffing was real. Every day felt like a game of hide-and-seek, and I started to wonder if I was losing my mind—or just my patience. The guilt was eating me up, but I couldn’t imagine giving up my new furry friend. Have you ever had to hide something big from your family, just because you wanted it so much? Sometimes, I wish I could just tell my parents everything and hope for the best. If you’ve ever been in my shoes, I’d love to hear how you handled it. Did you come clean, or did you keep your secret safe? Let’s swap stories below! 🐱🤫 #FamilyDrama #PetProblems #Confessions #TeenLife #FamilyRelationships

Be honest. Have you ever taken pleasure in someone else's pain or misfortune?

Let's face it, we've all experienced that odd mix of emotions when witnessing someone else's slip-ups or setbacks. Whether it's watching a rival get a taste of humble pie or seeing a friend bumble through a clumsy moment, sometimes it's hard to suppress that tiny smile. But why do we feel this way? Is it simply human nature or a deeper reflection of justice or envy at play? Reflecting on these reactions can teach us more about empathy and self-awareness. It can also lead to a more introspective understanding of why we feel a certain way and how it shapes our relationships with others. So, what are your thoughts? Have you ever caught yourself enjoying another’s awkward moment or unfortunate situation? Share your stories or reflections in the comments below, and let's explore this intriguing aspect of human nature together. #PainAndPleasure #HumanNature #Empathy #Confessions #LifeLessons
