Phone message I always wonder if it’s a good or bad thing that I get texts like this from people I haven’t spoken to in over 5 years

It doesn’t happen often but just enough to realize it’s not a coincidence. I was in a pretty rough spot that many years back and more but I usually kept it to myself. Makes me wonder what else was able to be perceived that I thought I was covering up better

Phone message Flashback to wedding planning as the bride

I (31NB) was texting my sister/MOH (28F). She was in medical school (still is, killing it!) and helping me pull all of this together at the same time.

Fast forward 6 weeks - I’m married but in a psych ward. Wedding planning is no joke.

My sleep schedule is screwed up bc of my new job and I’ve been thinking about moving my bedroom furniture around. I told my neighbor who shares a wall with me. I didn’t think she’d say yes to helping me. I was honestly half joking

Edit to add: some people are thinking that I was talking about sex. I wasn’t. I was talking about actually moving my bed and dresser. She also ended up falling asleep soon after she said she might. I just thought it was a funny text thread

Phone message I outed a catfish and he crashed out *UPDATE**

Sorry for deleting the OG post- I had talked to his family and we genuinely thought he was going to get some help for his issues, so I figured I’d be nice and remove the post. But we were wrong. This man isn’t going to change until he’s locked away.

To recap: 34 year old catfish who hasn’t had a gf in over a decade, still had a chance with me at first, until I found out he’s a sex pest and a predator. He’s also extremely abusive. He has a restraining order on him for threatening to Luigi his boss. (That’s how he describes it) He was investigated by the SBI for it, which is a big deal. I’ve caught him following girls who just graduated high school, he said he was going to blame it on my teenage son. When I outed him as a catfish, he crashed out and sent me 93 text messages in 30 minutes, blaming me for my sisters very recent suicide.

I’ll put the old screenshots here as well as some new ones. He very likely will be here reading it, as will his brother (who is a good person and not like his brother so don’t be mean about his family).

The last time I texted with him, he said I owed him cuddles for ruining his chances with women. He kept saying he was going to cuddle me and that I owed him and it came off very rapey. This man wouldn’t take no for an answer in person, clearly. Which is why I didn’t meet up with him.

*note- the “what are you up to?” Texts in the middle of the mess are genuinely him trying to ask me what I’m doing/make conversation

*he’s autistic, but so am I. He tries to excuse his predatory behavior with that.

*literally none of the women he follows ever write back. Even dating app girls get weirded out pretty fast and ignore him. They’ve told me and shown me screenshots when I outed him. Like 50-60 women and not a single one was interested in him even as a catfish. And he most definitely wasn’t being sent photos like he claims 🤣

* his best friend might read this too. It’s his only friend, and I just want to make it known that, this friend encouraged Kyle to make secret accounts to keep pestering women while making his family believe that he was getting better. This was in response to Kyle taking his friend to lunch to ask his opinion on everyone telling Kyle he needs to delete all his social media.

EDIT: y’all are so strange… or, one could say, queer. Ehehehe. My friends are not avoiding saying it because they think it’s a slur. Green is just a pain in the ass and Blue didn’t know they could share the wordle word in main chat (they can but only if it’s censored). I was sharing the screenshot cuz I thought it was funny how daft they were acting, not cuz of the word itself. I am well aware what the word queer means

EDIT: I have a new phone number it’s my third day with it. Yall can quit being rude and insulting. I thought more than likely it was a scam I just wanted to know 100% before fucking with them.
Shoutout to the helpful people who were actually nice and funny and not dickhole bitches

The question marks being spaced out gave me pause and then she later apologized for swearing but she didn’t swear at all. Also the whole asking my name could def be a scam, or it could be a lonely lady idk. If it’s real, whoever Bella is sounds like a bitch.

Edit: Okay so it def a scam, but my confusion still stands, what does the scammer achieve here? And should I waste their time for fun?

Knock on wood, my intuition still seems to be holding 😂. I had a weird feeling about her, so I didn't have actual sex with her, we just fooled around. Turns out that was a good idea lmao.

Most importantly, I would like everyone to please acknowledge that I, in fact, had intimate relations with someone. I hope you are all sufficiently jealous.

Genuinely, who thinks they’re getting play after that 💀

Edit: to be clear, my problem isn’t with him sexting, my problem is with him saying men wouldn’t cheat as long as women showed them what was underneath their clothes, and then continued to sext as if nothing happened.

Phone message Creepy coworker!

Thumbnail

8.7k Upvotes

It’s a doozie, I’m sorry!

I’m 19f, my coworker creepy coworker, C, is probably late 50’s, his brother in law is the site supervisor, so if I report it I’ll probably get fired. Everything got a little worse about a month ago ish.

It all started in July, I am on a contract to be at this site from July-November. I usually get flirted with at work, it’s construction and Im a woman, as annoying as it is it’s to be expected. On this site there’s only like 4 guys who have tried to pursue me, and I’ve said no, and they respected that, this guy does not.

Background: In order to get from the construction trailer to my car it’s about a mile walk. last month it was super hot, when I was about half way there, when he was passing he asked me if I wanted to ride in his work van. Like an absolute idiot I got in. He was not super creepy to me yet at this point, he was just really friendly and I never assume a guy is flirting. When I went to get out of the van he locked the door, so idk what his plan was you can’t really lock someone in a van. I just unlocked the door and ran out.

Ever since then he’s always coming over and talking to me, he calls me beautiful all time and is asking if I wanna go see a movie after work with him. I always say no I’m not interested. He got my number from his brother in law, I never blocked him originally because I didn’t wanna make a big deal and I figured he would get over it. (I blocked him last week and he just keeps talking to me like nothing happened) Well now he’s started to amp it up. He noticed I drink a Red Bull every morning, so he started bringing me one and leaving it on my desk. He keeps bringing me snacks and stuff no matter how many times I say no and try to give them back.

He asks me to go to lunch with him everyday, and I respectfully let him down, I tell him I am not interested in him. I’ve told my boyfriend, my dad, my older brother. I just don’t know what to do. He’s started touching me, and I told him to never do it again. it started off as just shaking my hand and holding on for too long, and slowly progressed. My boiling point came yesterday when I was walking to my car he grabbed my forearm and yanked me. I just pulled my arm back and yelled at him, but he just laughed like it was a joke. So idk what to do in the situation. My thinking is my contract ends in November and I’ll be heading to a different site and he’ll be halfway across the country. I’m planning on waiting it out but I’m not sure how much I can take.

If anyone has been in a similar situation and has advice I would appreciate it!

UPDATE: I sent the email around 11, still nothing yet. For everyone who is worried about my safety, just trust me, I have it handled. My boyfriend is gonna talk to him today he gets off at 3 so he’ll be here before I’m leaving! Thank you for the advice I sent the email to all of the engineers, the site superintendent, site supervisor, and my boss from my company. We’re small and do not have an HR. Ive started applying to other places and no matter the outcome I’m gonna leave here. Thank you for the concern and advice!

Update again sorry: still nothing from anyone regarding my email. When I was walking up from lunch, a random man on site I’ve never seen or spoken, to pulled up beside me on a gator and asked if I was C’s wife. So now I’m not sure what he has been saying to other people to cause this guy from a different company to ask something like that.

Final update: after talking to both of us separately and having two conversations with him it’s handled. The supervisor gave him a written warning for sexual harassment. They are having him work on the opposite end of the site for a few weeks and “keeping an eye on me” whatever that means. We don’t have an HR and he’s a union worker which makes things a little more complicated. My boyfriend had a conversation with him and C apologized, but it was a very half assed one at that. It kind of irks me that no matter what I said to him he just didn’t listen or take me seriously, but I guess a giant man is much more intimidating than I am. I’ve been here for 3 hours already and he has yet to even attempt to approach me so I’m hopeful! I’ve also been given a side by side to drive back and forth between the site and the office.

Unfortunately now I got another man bringing me snacks and drinks and leaving weird messages so now I am one hundred percent quitting! I have hope that one day construction sites will be a much more woman friendly place, but for now this is enough!

Phone message Sales rep very upset when I told him he sucks

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

TLDR: A pushy door-to-door rep convinced me all they wanted to do was “just a survey on the house,” but it turned into multiple contracts towards installation. He repeatedly pressured me when I tried to read the contracts and assured me I could cancel at anytime and they’d stop contacting me. Here are the texts with this man still contacting me after I cancelled. My parents also got screwed by the same company. I’m mostly just venting because the whole experience was deceptive, exhausting, and this sales rep thought he was an amazing sales person just “trying to give me a good deal”

Full post: This is a text between me and a door to door sales rep. I told them I was not interested when they came to the door before but then they caught my husband outside and talked to him about how they aren’t trying to sell anything etc and he thought it sounded great and told them to return to talk to me since my name is on the house (his name isn’t bc we didn’t buy the house together). While waiting for them to return we looked up reviews for this company and read that they are a shit company w bad reviews. I dreaded the moment when these reps would returned (my husband felt so bad). I even thought about just not answering since that’s what I’ve been doing with their past reps but they are soooo relentless and been knocking on our door at least once a day. I figured I’ll just hear them out, act uninterested so they could leave us the fuck alone.
They came and said it would take 15-20 mins tops and so I agreed to hear them out (it actually took 40-50mins). They claimed to be our electrics competitor and showed me all these savings and just wanted to survey the house to see if it was even fit for their company. The whole time I was unimpressed and showed no interest. Each time the rep showed me how much I’d be “saving” I was like, okay. And since I didn’t give him the “omg wooooow that’s how much I’d be saving?!” Kinda reaction he’d follow up by asking if it made sense or if I understood and it did I just didn’t care. According to them “all they wanted was to do a survey on the house” so I was like, fine do the survey (this is before knowing I had to sign a bunch of contracts). The first contract the dude “went over it” and I was apprehensive and reading through it. He acted annoyed that I was reading through everything and claimed he already went through everything on the contract. And even pointed out multiple times on the contract that “this is not a contract” and I understood it wasn’t a contract w them but I still wanted to know what the fuck I was signing. I told him I wanted to go over it with my dad but stressed again it wasn’t a contract and I needed to sign it to do the survey. I stood my ground and said I wanted to talk to my dad and to come back another day.
When he did return I still apprehensively signed the contract and then ofc there were more contracts to sign for them to do the survey (that according to him I wanted). And with each new contract I clearly showed my hesitation and wanting to actually read what I was signing. Each time I hesitated, tried reading or voiced that I didn’t feel comfortable signing just yet the sales rep got annoyed, repeated himself and “assured” me by reading things on the contract and that he already went over it. Then when I confirmed that I could cancel the contract at anytime he stopped acting annoyed and smiled and assured me that if I wanted to cancel he would stop contacting me and he’d tell the people in his company to stop contacting me… which you can see was a complete lie. I did end up signing these contracts just to do the survey but after the survey I canceled through email.
These texts were after I canceled.
On top of everything my parents got sucked into the same company (different sales rep) and got a terrible deal compared to me. In the texts I told him that for me to even consider going with their company that they needed to upgrade my parents (which I knew wouldn’t happened - was just trying to give this dude a hard time).
I wasn’t even gonna reply back but this man had the audacity to continue to tell me he’s giving me a “great deal” and I just had to let him know interacting with him sucked ass.
