1. The New Manager Who Drove Everyone Away
At a supermarket, a hardworking employee recounted how a new manager wreaked havoc on the team. “I was the most tenured bagger, always early, never called in sick, and even handled duties outside my role, like checking and managing the customer service booth. One day, I stopped to talk to a friend while gathering carts outside. The manager came up to me, clocked me out for my break without warning, and said, ‘You were talking, so I made the decision for you.’”
The employee wasn’t the only one targeted. Within the first month, 30 people quit due to the manager’s toxic leadership. Employees who stayed received a laughable $0.05 raise, only to endure constant micromanagement and beratement. Unsurprisingly, the manager was fired three months later, but not before leaving a trail of frustration and resentment.
2. The Father Who Was a Living Nightmare
One user shared a harrowing account of their father, whose severe schizophrenia and substance abuse made him a terror to the family. “He abused my siblings and me in every way possible, killed neighborhood animals for fun, and threatened to murder my mom if she tried to leave him. Eventually, she did, and we were forced to spend weekends with him and his new girlfriend.”
During those weekends, there was no food in the house, and the siblings survived on junk snacks. “When I graduated high school, he told me he wanted nothing to do with me. I was relieved.” Years later, the father returned, claiming to want a relationship, but a family conflict revealed his true feelings. “He said he wanted nothing to do with us because of an old fight between my mom and his sister. That was it—I haven’t spoken to him in six years, and I never will again.”
3. The Friend Who Weaponized Secrets
In college, one user described a so-called “friend” who seemed to take pleasure in inflicting harm. “She was dating my ex, and although I had no problem with that, she would go out of her way to tell me intimate details about their relationship, just to hurt me. Later, I found out from a mutual friend that she had lied about being on birth control and purposely got pregnant to trap the baby’s father.”
Her manipulative tendencies didn’t stop there. The user continued to observe her destructive behavior over the years. “She’s had five kids with four different men, and you never hear about these kids after they’re old enough to talk back. It’s as if she sees them as props for her schemes.”
4. The Uncle with a Dark Secret
“My late father told me a shocking story about his much-older brother,” one user recounted. “The family never liked him because he was a scam artist and all-around shady guy. When I was young, my uncle showed up with a new wife—a kind, sweet woman. They visited once, and then she was never mentioned again.”
Twenty years later, the family received an unexpected visit from the police. “They were investigating the wife’s disappearance, and they suspected my uncle had killed her. They couldn’t prove it, but no one in our family doubted it. He died in 1999, taking the truth with him to the grave.”
5. The Ex-Wife Who Ruined Lives
One man described his ex-wife as someone who became progressively more unhinged over time. “She had untreated borderline personality disorder and went from being an enthusiastic partner to someone who was abusive in every possible way. She plotted to ruin my life, committed credit card fraud in my name, and associated with criminals who harmed children.”
The most horrifying act came when she killed the family dog. “She said she did it because ‘it looked at her funny.’ That was when I realized I was in danger too.” The man ultimately escaped the relationship but still bears emotional scars from her reign of terror.
