When I was at work, late after everyone else had gone home, I sometimes peed in the breakroom sink instead of going down the hall to the bathroom just so I wouldn't have to lock up the office while I was gone.

Andrew / January 16, 2006 12:33 AM

(Wow, that was fast.)

If you want to own up to a secret, feel free, but otherwise just call yourself "anonymous."

Once Jay and Silent Bob stayed at my hotel and I saw them in the lobby as I got off work. I thought I knew where they might go to hang out and went there but they didn't. So I went to a lobby phone and asked for their room and Silent Bob answered. I asked for Jay and he handed him the phone! I just started babbling about how I saw him in the lobby and wanted to say hi. Then I hung up really fast. (I'm really not into the practice of stalking famous people I swear. I just thought they'd be cool to "hang out" with. Unfortunately, I never got to find out.)

I have been systematically appropriating the archictecture and design magazines from the architect next door at work. I feel no guilt and will continue, nothing can stop me! Muahahahah

I hate kissing her.

Anon, anon / January 16, 2006 10:05 AM

I threw up last night.

Anon / January 16, 2006 10:06 AM

before leaving my last place of employment, i smuggled out a bunch of boring business books that nobody was using. made a few hundred bucks selling them online.

thats also where i got my awesome desk lamp. it was hard cramming the pieces into my messenger bag, but i pulled it off.

anon / January 16, 2006 10:37 AM

i love chicago--and the life i've made here for myself--more than i love my partner.

anon / January 16, 2006 10:39 AM

More than a week ago, I filled out the reply card to volunteer to chair my 10 year high school reunion. I put a stamp on it, and put it in my bag, and have yet to drop it in a mailbox. I walk by dozens everyday, and each time I feel a twinge of regret for not mailing it...yet.

H.S. / January 16, 2006 11:59 AM

In 1972 my crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime we didn't commit. We promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, we survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, and no one else can help...

anon / January 16, 2006 12:12 PM

i've rubbed one off at work before.

anon / January 16, 2006 12:25 PM

I was in love with my boss at my last job.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:07 PM

i read my ex-boyfriend's e-mail on a regular basis.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:10 PM

My previous neighbors upstairs were assholes, and so I'd occasionally take their magazines. After they moved out, their mail still came to my place and so whenever they'd get a box, I'd open it up to see if it was worth taking rather than marking 'return to sender'. I learned that they like J-Lo for music and collected little dolls. Bummer.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:31 PM

You know, some of the "anonymous" people still have their emails showing.

I just got engaged, and I love my fiancee, but I do love looking at other women.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:41 PM

I slept with someone at work. I didn't recognize myself at all during the whole thing. I drank too much and did and said filthy things that are totally unlike me. The only thing I feel that's as intense as the guilt because of my spouse who will never know is the incredible desire to do it again. But I won't because I am at least smart enough to know that it wouldn't be nearly as good the next time. I sometimes close my eyes and I can almost physically feel it again, and I'll never look at the co-worker, or my bosses desk the same again.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:46 PM

i make things up in conversations and insist that they are true. and people believe me.

anon / January 16, 2006 1:46 PM

I hate my sister's husband, and I am plotting on how to get her to divorce him. He is evil.

anon / January 16, 2006 2:21 PM

I am alone and lonely and do not know how much longer I will be able to sustain with this pit eating me away from the inside.

It hurts to wake and it hurts to see others and it hurts all day long.

anon / January 16, 2006 2:36 PM

When I read something like the above (posted at 2:21), my immediate and strong reaction is to try to seduce them. Maybe because I self-centeredly think I can save them by lying on my back, or ennui turns me on. I'm unbelievably glad that I don't know who the above person is, because I would be seriously tempted. Thank god I realized this before I went ahead with plans to become a therapist.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:03 PM

Dear 2:21pm:

You are not alone.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:03 PM

I have re-occurring dreams about other women when I sleep over at my girlfriend's place.

I think it's some kind of intimacy defense mechanism.

James Frey / January 16, 2006 3:04 PM

I made it all up.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:12 PM

i cheated.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:37 PM

I put urine in my ex-roommate's orange juice to get her back for being such an evil bitch 100% of the time.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:54 PM

i really have no problem sleeping with taken women - even if they are my friend's girlfriends.

anon / January 16, 2006 3:55 PM

I'm female and really love watching gay (men's) porn. I don't have any interest anything lesbian. (Just doesn't turn me on.)


anon / January 16, 2006 4:15 PM

I think of ex-boyfriends when I'm kissing him.

anon / January 16, 2006 4:17 PM

I've not had a boyfriend (or been out past a 3rd date) in 10 years (and i'm a stable, attractive, educated, employed individual with a rather large social circle, so I'm not sitting home bored), I can't quite figure it out. Thankfully it is something I refuse to lose sleep over, but I do get depressed about it sometimes.

anon / January 16, 2006 4:19 PM

I do a lot more than kissing him while thinking of others.

anon / January 16, 2006 4:39 PM

when an ex dumped me, i was bitter and wanted to get back at him (because i found out he cheated on me), so i called him and told him i had an std which would require him getting tested...which i hear is mightily uncomfortable for the men folk. and he deserved every ounce of pain he got. booyah!

anon / January 16, 2006 4:56 PM

I don't have lunch with the Pope on Tuesdays at Pizza Hut like I say in my personal ad.

anon / January 16, 2006 5:32 PM

like anon at 4.17, i have not had a boyfriend in years despite being stable, attractive, educated and employed. i have had chances, but instead i obsess over one unavailable guy for ages until i find another unavailable guy to obsess over.

anon / January 16, 2006 6:04 PM

I think I dated anon at 4:39. I took my chances and never got tested.

anon / January 16, 2006 6:30 PM

I used to say the n word all the time (I grew up on the southwest side).

anon / January 16, 2006 6:34 PM

~I am temping right now and at every assignment I take two things. One I keep for myself and the other I leave at my next temp assignment. For example, I might take post-it notes from one office and I will put them in the supply closet of my next assignment.
The game is to leave them and make sure that someone eventually uses them. It somehow amuses me that no one will ever know that the supplies that they are using are from another companies supply account.

~I could have wrote 4:17 myself.

anon / January 16, 2006 7:06 PM

I got liposuction, and didn't tell anyone.

anon / January 16, 2006 7:14 PM

hey, did anyone ever see the link for the website where people can mail in their secret on a postcard, and they post it up? I know there was an article about it in the redeye last year.

Great idea, but ultimately feels very fake. I much prefer FOUND, where the confessions aren't planned but happen just the same.

anonymous / January 16, 2006 7:30 PM

I'm so turned on by girls on crutches ....can't figure out why?

anonymous / January 16, 2006 7:50 PM

I wish my mother would die. She is monstrous, selfish, self-righteous and childish. She has turned my family into wreckage. I take care of her because I feel a duty to do so, but I really want her to die so I can be free. Everyone thinks I'm a saint.

anon / January 16, 2006 7:56 PM

- I lied. I had eyes for other girls. They were interested, she wouldn't have known and it would've been hot.

- I hate dating. I hate the game. If you're interested, fucking say so.

anon / January 16, 2006 8:03 PM

7:30, for the sake of every woman in your life, figure this shit out.

anon / January 16, 2006 9:18 PM

I'm having sex for the first time since 1997. In the intervening years, I've been perpetually attracted to the unavailable. It feels nice to be mutually attracted to a fellow available person.

anonandonandon / January 16, 2006 11:13 PM

I'm single despite being unstable, unattractive, uneducated and unemployed.

So, don't feel bad.

anon / January 16, 2006 11:15 PM

may i just say that this thread has been awesome?

anon / January 17, 2006 8:10 AM

She'd leave me in a heartbeat if he called and wanted her back.

anon / January 17, 2006 9:05 AM

I'm pregnant!

Only my husband knows. We're not telling anyone for another month, though.

anon / January 17, 2006 9:55 AM

Sometimes, when I masturbate in the men's bathroom in the office where I work, I imagine that I am a teenage girl being seduced and abused by much older men.

anon / January 17, 2006 10:01 AM

I horde prescription pills. I have ultram from eight years ago. I have a stockpiles of tylenol with codeine, and I still fill new prescriptions as I get them. My ex used to steal them from me sometimes, and I know because I read her email.

I sleep with "fat chicks" despite the fact I really don't like looking at their naked bodies.

anon / January 17, 2006 11:08 AM

I am so painfully in love with one of my best friends that I have been walking around longing like I am some sappy bitch from a Jane Austen novel. He is in a relationship that is crashing and burning, and doesn't even live in this city anymore, and it takes every ounce of my strength not to shout my feelings from rooftops. I pray for the failure of his current relationship on a daily basis. I have been trying to date others, off and on, for a while and I keep leaving these guys because they're just not him. I feel like the biggest, lamest loser ever. And I probably am. Boo hoo. Wah wah wah.

I want to tell my friend whose depressed to just get over it. I'm sick of him feeling so sorry for himself. I won't tell him that, cuz he's depressed, but man. He's such a fucking drag to be around.

one of THOSE girls / January 17, 2006 11:36 AM

When I go to the UK, there is a much older, married man that I sleep with. A couple times a year, we see eachother, and he takes me out to dinner and buys me things. His wife has a myriad of health problems and I'm probably the only action he's gotten in years. I know he's in love with me, and I don't really care. I keep in touch with him because he's good in bed, even if he's kind of annoying to be around, he has money, and because maybe someday after his wife is dead, he'll marry me and make me a UK citizen.

anon / January 17, 2006 11:39 AM

I agree, this is the best freakin' Fuel ever!

I once made an audio recording of a fella that I was screwin' because he always got really energetic and said the nastiest things to me during the act. I wanted to be able to listen later and re-enact it by myself. He is unaware of the existence of such a recording.

A.n.o.n. / January 17, 2006 11:44 AM

I have had sex with about 75 people in the span of about ten years, and I have a list of all of them.

anon / January 17, 2006 11:45 AM

I used to have sex for money.

nona / January 17, 2006 11:54 AM

A list of sexual conquests, now why didn't I think of that? Dang!

I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die.

anonette / January 17, 2006 12:10 PM

I was waiting for a free bathroom, when my bf, told me to go into the mens room. I went in to my surprise to find a very well hung guy in the stall. He didn't see me, and I stared for a long time. I almost opened the stall door. I confess I think about (that guy's thing) all the time now. My bf's thing is no comparison.

anonona / January 17, 2006 12:10 PM

In college, I contracted venereal warts when I cheated on the current bfriend with an ex. I told the current that it can take 6-9 months for symptoms to appear (we'd only been together 4 months) and that I probably got it from the ex before current and I started seeing each other. The current never got it, fortunately, and I paid for my indiscretion with months of painful trips to the doctor to get the warts frozen off chemically. I couldn't sit properly for about 9 months and it was about a year and a half before I could have full-on sex again.

I was an idiot.

That was the first and only time I ever cheated on someone. Karma kicked my ass.

Dude, 1:16, I totally know what you're talking about. Almost any girl's parents would be thrilled if she brought me to dinner. And I'm not evil or anything like that.

But the fact of the matter is that I'm a total fuck up. I figure it's just a matter of time before I end up a homeless person.

I'd much rather have an ugly girlfriend with big tits than a beautiful girlfriend with no tits. And I know this from experience.

anony / January 17, 2006 2:38 PM

I didn't ask "so, do you have a girlfriend?" nearly soon enough.

And I didn't completely stop what I was doing after I got an answer.

I fall for straight guys. I am a gay man. Not only do I fall for them but I concoct plans in my head on how to get them to fool around with me...but never go through with the plans.

I watch what I think about because I always feel like someone is reading my thoughts.

anon / January 17, 2006 3:46 PM

3:12, that's how I feel. My suspicion is that one of the two following possibilities is true in my case.

1. While other people who are as intelligent or more intelligent than I am usually don't put much thought into what they say, because it doesn't mean anything to them, I try to outthink EVERY interaction I have. Therefore, people I talk to think I'm smarter than I am just because I always try hard where others don't. If anything, I'm good at keeping tidbits of information in my head that I can refer to when relevant. Unfortunately, my knowledge is shallower than a wadi in summer.

2. People I interact with know I'm straining to appear intelligent, so they humor me by implying that they think highly of my intellect. The reality is in fact that they feel I'm a complete moron.

While I'm confessing, here's a good one. No one, especially my wife and my employers, knows that I dropped out of high school without even completing sophomore year. Needless to say, this would probably be the reason why I have to try so hard...

I hate myself in the way only a complete fraud can...

After years of feeling undesirable and being passive, I can now approach and seduce rather easily...But, after a month or three of screwing and feeling warm, I either dump her or provoke her into dumping me, because I *still* feel that I'm undesirable.

ugh / January 17, 2006 4:27 PM

I wanted to be married with a family by now. I've always suspected that where I am has less to do with shyness and more to do with all of the screwed up and reckless people out there playing games, lying to and disrespecting people, deluding themselves, abusing others with their unresolved issues. This thread is proof that my suspicions were true.

anon / January 17, 2006 4:31 PM

ugh: So the thread is proof that your situation is not your fault, but everyone else's? Golly! That's convenient.

No, just that it's not all my fault that I've had some entanglements with some pretty screwed up people. Cheating, puzzling brush offs and other assorted disses, other really nasty meanspirited stuff. Sometimes, you start to think it's all you, that's all. Also, I didn't write my post well - - it was meant to be semi-sarcastic. We're all screwed up. We've all done bad stuff. Screwed up people who've done bad stuff can find happiness too (cue soundtrack). Goodnight and goodluck.

I too feel like a lot of people think I'm smarter than I really am. I have a good vocabulary and a splendid ability to absorb and regurgitate information. This simply makes me a good bullshitter, but all that intelligent.

Fear. Fear that being involved will prevent me from doing the things I want with my life; fear of turning into the lame married friend; fear that it won't work out; fear that if I get involved now I won't be able to provide the sort of lifestyle to a family that I want for myself; fear of making myself vulnerable again; fear that there is somebody else out there for me; fear that I won't be able to travel like I want; that we will become acrimonious; fear that she is older then me (more kid pressure); fear that she will want to go home early (the first symptom); fear that she will start yelling at me for smoking pot sometimes; fear of being semi-responsible for another; fear that she will plump up and what I would do if that happened (yes, I'm well aware that is ridiculous); fear that I might want to spend a few more years partying like a rock star and she will want to settle down.

Or maybe I should be living in Oregon and running my own yoga studio. Or maybe I should be in Japan teaching english. One thing I do know for certain is that I am not cut out for corporate America.

I worked my ass off during school at an office job and destroyed my GPA, my credit and my health as a result of working+drinking+burnout. After 6months on unemployment I finally got a new job, re-enrolled in school and dramatically reduced my drinking. That very weekend I got into a DUI accident with an off-duty cop who chased me down and destroyed my car with his. I'm probably going to go to jail for this and will probably fail school and lose my new job as a result.

Funny thing is, I'm not worried about it. I go to school and work everyday as if nothing has happened. My trial is on valentines day. I'm 24.

I can't manage to meet guys who'd want to be with me. Instead, I meet men online and chat with them in a sad attempt to make myself feel connected to the opposite sex. It's a pathetic replacement for having a boyfriend, but I'm afraid of never being loved, so chatting with some guy I'll never meet on the other side of the country makes me feel better for 20 minutes or so.

I'm afraid to have sex anymore because the last two men I was with stopped talking to me after sleeping with me. I never thought this would make me feel as badly as it does. How did my skill in bed somehow become the only factor in deciding my self-worth?

When I was still with one of my exes, he received two copies of a very rare and valuable cd, made by a band that we both loved. He loved money more than me, however, so he decided to keep one and sell the other one on ebay. Before he had a chance to do that, I stole it and I still keep it hidden, although I never talk to him. But I have heard through the grapevine that he is still upset that he "lost" his prized cd and is bummed about all the money he could have got for it. And this makes me feel wonderful.

I tormented an older, technologically fearful, former co-worker by changing her cell phone ringtone periodically. Her kids and grandkids called her dozens of times a day, her desk was near mine, and I hated the ringtones she picked, so when she was away from her desk, I would sneak over and change it to something innocuous and quiet. She would always carry on a conversation with whoever was within earshot about this baffling cell phone behaviour. She even called 611 once to try to find out how to make it stop changing ringtones. Every so often she would have one of her grandkids change the tone back to the one she liked, being unable to change any of her phone's settings on her own.

I had conversations with her about it, always remarking about how strange it was that her phone just changed randomly like that...

Hey 1.19.06 2:33 pm,

I think you need to let go of your ex-roomate. Save your energy for something, you know, more positive. So what if she's a fraud and sends dirty pix to her bf? Wouldn't it make you happy to one day realize that you hadn't thought about her in 6 months? Being reminded of how pathetic and annoying she is can't be a good way to start your day.

Sorry, I know this forum isn't the place for judgement or lectures, but it made me cringe when I read that. It would be such a simple thing for you to resolve to stop checking her email (see the next thread!). Not as a favor to her, but to yourself.

when i was a little kid, i got mad at my younger sister, so i peed on her bucket of bath toys. that night when my mom poured them in my sisters bath, she yelled and tried to blame me, so i blamed it on the neighbor boy who'd came over that day. she believed me.

One time, my grandpa gave me 60 dollars for gas money, i spent 40 of it on drugs. He died not long after that and i felt like shit for the longest time. R.I.P.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year or so now, and he decided to stop having sex with me because I got mad it wasn't as good as it used to be.

Part of me gets mad because I could have any guy i wanted, and my own boyfriend won't sleep with me.

And the other part wants to threaten him with cheating to MAKE him sleep with me.

anon / October 5, 2006 12:53 AM

I am an asshole to my mother, and i barely even saw it, i need to change something though, because a lot of my friends tell me I am an asshole to her. :(

anon / October 7, 2006 11:53 AM

My coworker is insecure, emotionally needy, has low self-esteem, has no imagination, and tries to put me down and boss me around all the time because I'm younger than her. Whenever I look at her, all I can think is "I hate you." I do.

I am also mean to my mother. I know it though. She brings it apon her self. She always gets it her way and people always stick up for her when she is wrong anyway just because she has an illness. I am so fucking sick of it. I wish somebody would just say no thats not right your daugher is right but that hasnt been the case yet has it.,

I'm a Christian- a real one. Not one that is faking church every Sunday and forgetting about my Lord during the week. I love the Lord. And I love my husband. But I've cheated on him so many times. I promised myself and God that I'd never do it once we got married. We've been married a little over a year and I've done it 3 times. The first and second were with the same guy. An old flame I met up with again. The third was the first guy I ever had sex with ( over 8 years ago). And it was sooooo good. I hadnt seen this guy in 8 years and w/in a week of meeting up w/ him again it happened. I really like being on top and I got to with my ex. With my husband it doesnt work for some reason and I just want to shout " Geez! I've been on top with all the other guys, just let me do it" His number is way lower than mine. Lust is my biggest spiritual struggle. I CANT stop looking at and fantasizing about other men. Im just sexual like that.

ANON / November 13, 2006 1:37 PM

I love going down on my husband and I swallow so he will have a better orgasm. But I HATE the taste of his stuff. He thinks I like it.

anon / November 13, 2006 1:56 PM

I am supposed to be working. I have so much more work since i put in my notice. when i leave all the work i do for the team will be given back to them instead of getting a new person. AND they are getting another persons load b/c of restructuring. they dont know this at all. and they are going to drown. but i cant stop reading these posts and am hardly getting any work done.

i dont feel bad about it at all.

anon / November 13, 2006 2:10 PM

The lady who sits behind me is pretty obese. ( im not really in shape either) shes very nice and i like her. but she coughes ALL the time. ever since she has sat behind me- a while now- and its a BAD, phlemy (sp?) cough like its a disease in her lungs and throat and stuff. i really feel bad for her b/c she has alot of health problems. i cant help but think that if she ate better ( she eats junk and fast food all the time) and worked out that she'd get better. i really do feel bad for her but doesnt she want to be healthy??????

Sarah / November 14, 2006 1:28 AM

I love my boyfriend so much it hurts, but whenever he doesnt want to have sex I go through his phone and email, convinced he's cheating on me. He's not, as far as I can see, but that doesnt soothe my nagging, insecure ego.


Also, I get a serious jolt when I masturbate next to him while he's sleeping after such turn downs.

anon / November 18, 2006 1:02 PM

I have a girlfriend but i like other people too :(

anon / November 26, 2006 2:46 AM

there's a girl i know who is very nice, but i doubt her judgment with regard to her dropkick boyfriend. who drunkenly groped me several times. i doubt i'm the first but i won't tell her because i'm so scared she won't believe me.

anonymous / November 26, 2006 9:58 PM

shes's making really bad decisions, and i don't know what to do... please don't end up like the rest of your family.

anon / November 28, 2006 9:28 PM

I have so much shit to do in so little time, and i think all of this shit is a waste of time. I feel like im wasting my life doing stupid things and not getting ready to set up my life and im terrified

anonymous / December 7, 2006 9:16 PM

okay, i give up on everything. are you happy now? i'm not. i lost you and it's all my fault.

anon / December 7, 2006 11:22 PM

I've never made out with another person except another female when I was 14 (didn't count because it was for a picture.. yeah i was that stupid girl looking for attention.. lame, i know)

I'm 18 now and say "I hate kissing.." because I'm scared to kiss anyone. They would think I'm a bad kisser and I would feel stupid..

I really want to feel what it's like though.

anon / December 14, 2006 3:17 PM

I want to have sex with my best friend, but she's interested in another girl. I'm plotting evil sabotage.

He makes me so happy

I have a boyfriend and he makes me satisifed
And I'm scared to break up with him
because if i do i throw away the friendship...
I have with his sister

anon / December 22, 2006 3:07 AM

he acts like he's interested and it drives me crazy, because he goes from girlfriend to girlfriend without stopping. and he's so provocative that sometimes i want to kiss him but i can't because for all i know, he's messing me around. but i want him more than i've wanted anyone.

anonymous / December 23, 2006 7:28 PM

i'm secretly in love with my coworker whose name escapes me. he is just so cool and witty and everything that i wish i was. there are days that i want to kill him because he is just so cool. i've hired a hitman to kill him but it's going to be quite expensive appaerntly. that's ok just so long as it is a slow and painful death. he thinks we're friends but we are really SO MUCH MORE.

anonymous / February 19, 2007 9:07 PM

my husband says i'm fat. tells me if i ever start to feel good about my body that i need to look at myself in the mirror naked.

Last year, my mother caught pneumonia. I watched her become more and more ill and never judged her ill enough to call emergency.
Later, the doctors in the ICU said that if her sickness had been caught earlier, she would never have spent the four months in hospital that she did.
They also said, had it been left another hour, she would be dead.
I nearly killed my mother.
I was only fifteen.

I wish my mother would die. She brings nothing positive or good to the universe and, frankly, never has. She has always consumed her existence with negative, ugly thoughts and words and is harshly judgmental of everyone. She has never accepted responsibility for having done anything wrong, she is mean and nasty and has alienated every single friend and her only brother. My sweet and wonderful aunt is the only one (except me) that still talks to her and my aunt tells me she only does so for me - to support me. I feel awful for my aunt but I'll take any help I can get. My mother has end stage cancer and she hasn't skipped a beat - she's as ugly as ever. She demands constantly while living in my home, being cared for with private nurses and myself. She drives everyone insane. God forbid the water doesn't have ice in it. And this is how she's been since I was born. Forget how I feel about her - I just wish the cancer would take her already.

anonymous / July 8, 2007 5:26 PM

i reminisce about the beginning stages of our friendship and how wonderful they were. i miss the friendship we had, and lately i've come to the realization that i deserve to take the blame. i'm so sorry, i just want everything to be how it was. i love you.

11:11 i always wish for you.
