Sooo... I picked philosophy as my major cause I thought it was cool to think about life and all. Didnt think about JOBS. Graduated and guess what... nothing. 4 years and a bunch of student loans later, all I have are some Nietzsche quotes. Should’ve gone with computer science. Anyone …
I've been into crypto since 2017, was riding the high... until the crash. Lost nearly all my savings betting on some altcoins that promised to go 'to the moon'. Should've cashed out in 2021 when I was ahead, but greed got the better of me. Now I’m back living with …
My cat scratched my ex's face. Ex needed stitches. Ex broke up with me. Now I have my scarred cat who's apparently a furry ball of vengeance. At least I have one loyal companion, right? Who needs relationships when you have a cat like this.
Decided not to go with a traditional pension, put all my eggs in the stock market basket. All was good until this year's crash. Portfolio's in the gutter, and guess what, so am I. Back to job hunting at 65. Don't be like me; diversify your savings!
Wanted to save some cash so I tried to bleach my hair at home. Followed some 'easy' YouTube tutorial. All I have to say is... DON’T. Long story short, hair is now a mix of orange, brittle, and oh... falling out. Had a meltdown and shaved it all off. Now …
I thought I handled the divorce ok, but didn’t foresee losing most of my friends in the process. They were all 'couple' friends. Now it's just me and the kiddo; everyone else is too busy with their intact families. Trying to stay upbeat for my child, but it's tough... really …
I just got fired. Posted a meme about my job being a soul suckin’ void on insta. Boss sees it and boom, axed. Guess privacy settings are a joke huh. Now here I am, jobless with a degree in a soul suckin’ void. Can’t even enjoy memes anymore.
Met the perfect person. You know, the kind in rom-coms. Good job, laughed at all my jokes, family loved them. Was too scared of commitment and let them go, told myself 'if it's meant to be, they'll come back.' Well, they didn't. Married someone else last summer. Watched from a …
I was head chef at a Michelin star restaurant. One bite at a new trendy place in town and I discovered a new severe shellfish allergy. Hospital, epi-pens, the whole ordeal. It’s been 8 months, and I can’t even step into my own kitchen without fearing cross-contamination. My sous-chef took …
I can't believe I let it go this far. Got hooked on this cursed gacha game. I was just a couple of dollars at first... then hundreds. Yesterday, I spent my last chunk of rent cash tryna get that ultra-rare pull. No luck. Landlord's kicked me out. Now I'm couch …
Hey everyone, I’m Dave, been in info sec for years. But this one error of judgment ruined it all. Missed an endpoint in a security audit. Cracker got in, data breached, client's furious. Now I'm outta a job, reputation shredded, and I might face legal action. Feel like such an …
I was convinced I’d be riding that high roller lifestyle if I worked hard enough. Sold vitamins, or at least tried to. Pestered friends until they started dodging my calls. Those upline promises were B.S. I'm left with a garage full of unsellable pills and nothing but regret. How do …
Tried every diet out there. Keto, Paleo, Fasting... You name it. Lost a ton of weight fast, sure, but then the moment I ate normally again, boom, all the weight piled back on and then some. My doctor says my metabolism is outta whack now, and losing weight has become …
Every time there’s a sale, I just can't help myself. Online shopping’s made it worse. Boxes are everywhere; most stuff's not even opened. Tried to declutter, but it's overwhelming, and I just end up buying more to cope with the stress. Buried in debt, and I can't even move through …
It all started as a curiosity, reading about conspiracies online, but I dove deeper than I should have. Now, I'm convinced everyone’s out to get me, part of some grand scheme I uncovered. Friends? Gone. Family? They just don’t **understand**. Sometimes I even scare myself because of the theories swirling …
Haven’t slept more than 2 hours a night for the past year. Started hallucinating, couldn't hold down my job, wife left with the kids 'cause I became a zombie. I'm just alone, with my thoughts, in endless nights. Went to every specialist out there, tried all there is, nothing works. …
just finished at the doc's and my health's a mess. liver's bad, heart's worse, all cuz I couldn't kick energy drinks. drank like 8 a day for years and it’s caught up. hands shake when i try to type. docs say it stops now or i’m done for. wish i …
I sent a 'sweet nothing' meant for my gf to my boss instead, and now work is heckin’ awkward. It was... uh, pretty spicy. Can't even look him in the eyes. Might have to find a new job 'cause there’s no coming back from that. Pro tip: double-check who you're …
Took a personal loan to 'invest' in what I thought was a sure-fire crypto. They said it was a golden opportunity, 'next Bitcoin' they yelled. Should’ve researched more because, boy, was I wrong. That $20k is now worth $2k if I'm lucky. Got these hefty monthly repayments and nothing to …
