A ordinary day can turn unforgettable in an instant when something shocking or deeply unsettling occurs. Whether it’s witnessing a stranger’s disturbing actions or finding oneself in a repulsive situation, certain moments leave us speechless and questioning reality. That’s exactly what happened to the individuals in this collection—experiences so unnerving that they still struggle to believe what they saw with their own eyes.
Story 1
My older sister used to play our Disney read-along tapes to me every night while guiding me through the words in the books; she taught me to read this way. I didn’t realize until years later that she was using the tapes to cover the sound of our parents fighting downstairs. It saddens me that she never got to have a childhood. © Unknown user / Reddit
Story 2
I was washing my hands in a restroom when a gorgeous woman walked in and went over to the sink. She pulled a tube out of her purse, inserted it into her belly button, and urinated through it into the sink. Then, to my shock, she pulled the tube out, stuffed it back into her purse, still dripping urine. She didn’t wash her hands or even turn the water on, and just walked back out. © Shipwreck_Medusa / Reddit
Story 3
I was at Disney last week and walked by a guy sitting on a wall in the shade. He was looking at his phone, and then he licked it. He stuck his tongue fully out of his mouth and licked the entire screen as if he were cleaning it off. I almost walked into someone because I couldn’t stop staring. © Complete-Scar-2077 / Reddit
Story 4
I was on a bus once and saw a woman grab her child and literally suck the snot out of the child’s nose. I started to gag when I realized that she didn’t spit it out. I had to get off at the next stop and walk for a while. © Totallynotpalpatine / Reddit
Story 5
When I was 5, I visited my aunt in Los Angeles. It was the first time I ever saw a homeless person. I remember him because he was having an intense argument with a palm tree. © JeanRalfio / Reddit

Story 7
I got to work early, around 6 a.m., and there weren’t many people on the street. I saw a woman walking up and down in front of my workplace. It was weird and creepy, and when she passed me, I saw that her hands were cuffed behind her back. © IndependentToe2090 / Reddit
Story 8
I saw a mother intentionally pour a full pitcher of water all over the table at her daughter’s birthday party because she couldn’t get her daughter’s attention; the daughter was too busy talking to her friends. © DrGingeyy / Reddit
Story 9
When I was in 7th grade music class, a cockroach crawled out of the armpit of a very unclean classmate. It was very freaky. © Ok_Grocery1188

Story 10
My wife and I were at a bus stop in Las Vegas and saw a woman popping a zit on the back of her husband’s neck. She apparently didn’t succeed, so she called her daughter over to give it a try. © TheRealRockyRococo / Reddit
Story 11
I saw a guy standing at a soda dispenser with a razor, using the water button to shave his armpits inside a restaurant. © 8MCM1 / Reddit
Story 12
I was in traffic on the freeway when it got very windy as a storm approached. Suddenly, a bunch of balloons started blowing through the traffic. Everyone slowed down to a stop as the balloons became denser—there were tens of thousands of them. This lasted about a minute, completely immersing us in balloons until they finally cleared. © Artai55a / Reddit
Story 13
One time I was on a bus, and an elderly lady got on with a baby stroller. There was no baby; the stroller was filled with old newspapers. She sat down with the stroller next to her, took a silver dinner fork out of her purse, and began to comb her chin hairs with the fork. © Dottegirl67 / Reddit
Story 14
I bought a used laptop from a friend. I noticed a folder named “PRIVATE.” I clicked,
and tens of videos popped up—footage from a webcam. I froze. It was me… in my room.
I called my friend, and he was silent for a moment and then said, ’’What do you mean? I formatted the laptop before selling it. And what do you mean by a folder named ’PRIVATE’? I never had such a folder.”
I was super confused. I took it to a repair technician, and they told me it must be a virus, but nothing explained how my own footage ended up there. I got rid of the laptop, and now I approach my friend with great caution.
Story 15
My wife noticed a blinking light in our Airbnb’s smoke detector. I unscrewed it and found a hidden camera. We packed up and left in a hurry.
I wrote a review to expose the place. A few minutes later, I got a reply: “You fool, this is a motion detector, not a camera.”
Story 15
Hubby and I were sitting on our front porch one summer night when a couple walked by on the other side of the street. The taller person carried an umbrella and wore a huge, full-head mask with blonde hair attached. The mask had a huge grinning mouth, like a character from Planet of the Apes.
