These side marios all you can eat is all you can munch a soup salad and garlic home Welcome to our slash true off my chest where OPs sous his girlfriend our next reddit post is from polar idiom My girlfriend sold my car because of a petty argument. I'm now suing her My girlfriend and I have known each other for around four years, but we started dating in 2021. That car has been passed down for generations by the way. It's a 1972 Ford F100 that my grandpa owned, then passed down to my dad, then passed down to me. I don't drive it too often as I do have my own car, but I use it for work. Recently, me and my girlfriend got into an argument

over me not taking care of our two cats. The thing is, I spend almost all day working and the rest of it resting. So what did she do? She got the pickup truck, went to a junkyard and sold it. The worst part, she sold it for $400. Keep in mind, this truck was in pristine condition. When I got back from the bar, I noticed the pickup wasn't there. I asked her and she told me what she did. I instantly picked up my things. My cat told her we were done and left. I've been getting calls from her, her family, and her friends every day calling me names.

Am I in the wrong? Also to clarify, OP says that he's not often at the bar. He was at the bar that night because he was seeing a friend that he hadn't seen in like five years. Also, after poking around, OP found the junkyard where the car was sold and managed to buy it back for $400. And last but not least, the girlfriend has been charged with a class one felony for grand theft auto. Her fine is $5,000. But not least, the girlfriend has been charged with a class one felony for Grand Theft Auto.

Her fine is $5,000. Our next reddit post is from that balloon kid. I've never really told anyone this, but the very first person I ever hated was a girl from my childhood who stole my precious balloon. I was about 9 years old at the time, and I was an inpatient for private reasons. The hospital was pretty far from home, so my parents couldn't see me often, but on one particular day, my mom left me a balloon with get-well soon on it. I became fixated on that balloon because it made me feel close to my parents, so I would

take it with me wherever I was taken. Then that evening, I left my ward and ended up getting lost because tons of people were all over the place. The balloon ended up slipping away and I went after it, only for this one girl about my age to grab it. Well, when I asked for my balloon back, she refused and ran off to her mom. I was a very reserved kid and I was scared of confronting her, especially with her mom there, so I just let her take the balloon away.

I was pretty sad because that balloon was special to me, but I eventually let it go even though the grudge has always remained till today. Now I match with this girl on Tinder and things have been going pretty well. On our most recent date, we discussed our past regrets and all that. And then she tells me about the time that she stole a balloon at a hospital from a boy years ago and his sense regretted it. She says that she would apologize to the boy given the chance. I was shocked, like legitimately shocked. At first, I wasn't sure because I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, so I let her on for more

information, and she revealed many more details that made me 100% sure that she's the same girl. I couldn't stop laughing out loud, and she's been trying to figure out why. I said that I just found it really funny, but I didn't tell her that boy is literally me. She explained that she really liked the balloon, and she told her mom that a boy gifted it to her and now it makes sense why the mother waved at me back then. Like I genuinely can't believe the same person who stole my balloon years ago, my one true

antagonist, my villain origin story had been staring at me right in the face. The worst part is, I don't know how to deal with the grudge now, and it's just so funny to me that this is happening. I'm just waiting for the perfect chance to tell her and see the look on her face. OP, I think the perfect chance to tell her is to date this girl for like 10 years, make her fall in love with you, get down on one knee and propose, and then when she says yes, I'll marry you, you stand up and say, S like, this is for stealing my balloon! And then you throw the wedding ring into the ocean. And then OP posted an update.

The original plan was to get a similar balloon as you suggested. The thing is, that balloon was slightly complicated. It was one of those heart-shaped ones and had multiple colored dots, so it was going to take a bit of time to find one. I also managed to find my old photos during my time in the hospital for my mom's album. My plan was to stick the photo to my forehead, have the identical balloon with me, and wear something identical to those hospital gowns.

Then, call her over and let her get dumbfounded by what's going on, and then clutch onto my balloon for dear life, and say this time, you can't take my balloon. Then just let her figure it out by herself. You get the point, just to make it reminiscent of that time that she stole my balloon. Well, those plans ended when I got a call from her telling me that I wouldn't believe a post she saw on TikTok from one of those Reddit posts.

And then she proceeded to read the post that I wrote to me and my heart was racing. She asked if it was me, but I denied it like my life depended on it. Like I didn't know what Reddit was and I said that she was trying to mess with me. Then later she did show up and immediately stuck her phone in my face laughing, saying there's no way this wasn't me because of when it was posted. I still denied it and eventually when we were sitting down listening to the post together, I said it's so crazy. And she asked me one last time to reaffirm to her that it wasn't me. And I told her, no, it wasn't. The confusion she had. I'm laughing because OP, why are you still lying about this? Why

not just fess up? I don't understand where this is going. The confusion she had was so funny because I could tell she was trying to wrap her brain around this. And I said, it's so crazy that these things happen. Then I slowly started mentioning the accurate details, like along the lines of, it's so crazy that you'd meet the person who stole your heart-shaped spotted balloon as a kid in a busy hallway. And then not tell her that it was you, and instead make a whole reddit post because you planned to surprise her, but the post landed on TikTok and she got wind of it and you're

still denying while literally sitting next to her. And midway between that, she was already gasping and she hit me with a cushion telling me to shut up. I legit couldn't contain my laughter and she was pacing up and down saying there was no way this was happening. And I said that it was me and that it was about time she gave me by balloon back. I even went to fetch the album that showed her my pictures during my hospital stay and she immediately started apologizing.

I told her I was over it and the post was over exaggerated for clicks, but she said that she still wanted to apologize anyway, and I also apologize for not saying the truth then, because I didn't think that she would have believed me, and she said that she definitely wouldn't have. We talked a bit more, and she promised to buy me a balloon. I feel like the funny joke here would be for her to reach into her pocket, pull out a condom and say, let's play with this balloon together. Our next reddit post is from worth information.

I've been pretending to be married to pick up chicks, so like the title says, I bought wedding rings to pretend that I married because I read that it helps you pick up chicks, and it works. I've been having an affair with a girl. Well, all was good because I just wanted something casual. Until today, she messaged me that she found my wife and if I don't divorce her quickly, then she'll tell her everything.

I laughed pretty hard since like I said, I'm not married, so that's the worst bluff ever. I just wanted to get it off my chest. You know, part of me wants to be mad because OP is deceiving people, but he's deceiving bad people, he's deceiving home records. And all he's really doing is taking home records out of the dating pool, so maybe he's like a hero? Metrolinx and cross links are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton

Our next Reddit post is from Prize Blueberry. I'm a 19 year old guy, and my 26 year old brother-in-law is convinced that I'm in love with him. So a few months ago, my sister, Diana, got married to my brother-in-law, Mike. I'm the youngest of my three siblings. I have a sister named Diana and a brother named Carlos. I came out as gay when I was 14 and my immediate family, my parents and siblings were all supportive. My extended family, uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents

are less accepting, so I don't tend to be as out and open around them. I graduated high school and started college two years ago when I was 17. I go to the same college that my sister is doing grad school at, and to save costs, I've been staying with her and her then-fiancé at their apartment. Mike has always been really nice, and I was happy that my sister was with a nice guy. My siblings and I have always been super close, and that closeness didn't go away when I started living with Diana, so I would often end up hanging out with them in their friends sometimes. The semester just ended for the two of us, and we all went home this weekend to stay with my parents.

We had a big family dinner, during which Mike kept making little jokes about me liking older guys. My boyfriend is 23 and how he would try to keep me away from him and his buddies. Me and my siblings questioned him about the jokes that he was making until he finally stopped making them. That was last night. This morning, my siblings and my parents went on a hike,

which is a family activity that we usually enjoy because we live close to the woods. I slept in and didn't want anyone to bother me, so they went without me. I figured that everyone had left, but when I was eating my cereal in the living room and watching TV, Mike came out of the kitchen and sat next to me. I was surprised to see him, as I figured that he'd gone on the hike, but I guess not. He started by apologizing for making fun of me, and then said that it was just a nervous tick of his when he didn't want to talk about something serious. He said that it was wrong of him to joke about my crush on him. I was super confused and asked for clarification, and he said that he knew about the crush

I have on him, which I don't. I asked him why he would think that, and he cited a few things that he took as me liking him. One, that I would always hang out with him in Diana. Two, that I chose to live with them instead of dorms. Three, that he barely knew my boyfriend. And four, that I didn't bring my boyfriend to their wedding. I tried to tell him that he was insane, and that none of that meant that I didn't bring my boyfriend to their wedding. I tried to tell him that he was insane and that none of that meant that I liked him

and they all had real explanations, but he just insisted that I was trying to cover up the fact that I was in love with him. That was a few hours ago. I haven't told anyone in my family this yet and I didn't have lunch with my family since I had plans to be with my high school friends all day. One friend suggested that I post this here, so I guess that's why I'm doing this.

Then OP posted an update. This morning I called for a sibling meeting at a diner that we like to go to. Sibbling meetings are something that we've been doing since we were kids where we talk about things like convincing our parents to get us a pet or splitting the household chores. We met at the diner for brunch, and my brother immediately said how weird it was for Mike to be making jokes about me. Diana said that he was still making jokes to her privately after dinner, and that it wasn't the first time that he had made these types of jokes.

She said that she figured that he was one of the guys who thought that gay guys liked him, but then I told him about his apology yesterday morning, and all the comments and other jokes he's made, and we all think that it was pretty weird. I showed them my post, and they briefly read through the comments as well. My sister said that she would talk to him about it, and told me that no matter what happened, she would never hold anything against me, or blame me for anything, so that was reassuring. We had food, I went back to my friend's house, and my sister said that she would let me know if anything happens.

Okay, down in the comments, there's a lot of discussion where people are trying to figure out if he's just a well-meaning idiot, or if he has some kind of insidious, nefarious goal, like he's trying to gaslight OP into thinking that their romantic relationship is their idea, and after thinking about it, I think I'm leaning towards something fishy going on here. So if I put myself in the brother-in-law's shoes, okay so hypothetically, my wife has a brother or a sister who I think has a crush on me. If I didn't want anything to happen with them, then I would actively avoid trying to be

alone with them and making sexual innuendo. But if I did want to have an affair with them, then I think I would try to be alone with them and sit next to them and make sexual innuendo jokes. Right? So if this guy is a well-meaning idiot, then he's a well-meaning idiot behaving in the way of someone who's trying to cheat. I don't know, am I reading too much into this?

It's just, if you're in a monogamous relationship and you think someone has a crush on you, why would you avoid going out with family so that you can hang back and joke with that person about having crushes? You know, isn't that just super, super fishy? That's super fishy to me. Our next reddit post is from Throwaway Tip the Bottle.

Growing up in Japan was hell for me. I'm half black, half Japanese, and the black part was the only thing that kids in Japan could ever see. They would always be so nice and respectful in public or at school, but when they were behind a computer screen, I got called slurs, and I was told to commit suicide by people who I thought were my friends. I even considered actually doing it when I was in high school. The bullying was so bad that kids were kicking me outside of school, and teachers and students

just walked on by. I had no friends at all! Everyone was so ignorant too, even the teachers. They would try to get me to play basketball, or they would put on rap music, but I was born and raised here. I even noticed my mom was disappointed that I wasn't fully Japanese. She always treated me like a burden and made me go to my room whenever we had guests or women public.

Yo, what the fuck? What? Why did the mom have intercourse with a black guy then if she was that turned off by black people? By that point in my life, I had so much internalized racism. When I got old enough, I left the country and I live in the US now. People here are nicer, I have black friends now, I feel accepted and loved. I will still never get over the trauma though.

I remember crying every night, hating myself. Okay, um, down in the comments, someone kind of called out this stupid thinking that I had. Admittedly it is stupid because I know the truth. But wormhole PhD said something that I think everyone could be reminded of. Everyone loves to screw, even the racists, being sexually attracted to someone doesn't mean that you still can't the racists. Being sexually attracted to someone doesn't mean that you still can't be racists towards them. White men who were slave owners often had a gang of children with their black slaves. They still thought that black people were subhuman though. Yes, true. That is

very true. It's just when I get confronted with the stupidity of racist logic, I have to remember that racist brains don't work like normal people brains and just their world is wrong and stupid and doesn't make any sense. So of course, for this racist woman, it makes sense that she would be attracted to a black guy, make a baby with him, and then be racist towards the kid because she's a stupid racist and that's how stupid racist think. That was our slash true off my chest.
