"Went on two dates with a guy where conversation was like getting blood from a stone, but I was lonely and lived in a small town. Second date, he drove and then drank a LOT, seemingly on purpose so he wouldn't be able to drive home. This was before Uber/Lyft, and he begged to share a cab back to mine. I agreed, and he spent the whole night crying in my bed about how I was going to leave him.
I broke it off, he then looked up a performance I was in later that year in college and showed up. When the show ended, he waited around to say hi (like friends and family do) and then interrupted me while I greeted people to say 'SO THAT'S WHY YOU'VE BEEN SO BUSY' and then stormed out. He drove 35 minutes, and sat through a 90-minute play, for that." - Reddit uesr malhibou
When I worked for gamestop ( I don't suggest unless you have a ton of patience) our store was ran a bit different then most. Our manager would often times when he knew someone wasn't performing well that week pass customer over to us. Like if one week I just wasn't getting my pre orders like normal he would tell people his register wasn't allowing pre orders and send them over.
So we had this customer who came in every Tuesday and Friday like he was scheduled to show up. On Friday he would drop his check on pre orders and collectables and other stuff. And Tuesday he would come in and return it.
Now we were not allowed to turn him away due to company policies and I didn't care to much except the fact that you cancel multiple preorders it hurts us. Luckily our manager had our back.
So one week he comes in and preorders like 5 games. Puts 20 on each and goes on his way. Me and my manager both knew Tuesday he would be back for his money.
So Tuesday morning I open up and he is the first one there. Comes in and right away says he need it all back. So I go to the computer and weirdly his pre orders are gone. I tell him they were canceled the day before. He gets pissed and pulls out his receipt saying look here it is. So I told him yesterday one of the others that work here gave you your money.
After lots of back and forth he finely left saying he was getting the police. Little did he know we have cams right behind the register to prevent theft. My manager pulled the footage and had it ready to show anyone who came in asking about it.
Went out for a smoke break and here he comes with a cop in tow. They come in and we show them the footage we had. The cop said he was gonna take our friend down town for wasting time. Dude freaks out starts running around the store knocking over cases and rack and boxs
So glad I don't work there any more

(Fictional horror story) So I was laying in bed home alone and my parents were on a date or at a friends house or something. They told me that I should start looking for jobs given as I was 18 at the time and hadn't figured out what I wanted to do with my career yet. I grabbed some of my parents liquor and drank a bit, not enough to get a drunk though, (I know so edgy right?). I layed down in my bed and started to surf the internet, not for jobs but just for fun because I was bored. As I was surfing websites reading one article after another I sorta lost track of time and what website I was on and ended up on some website that I can't for the life of me remember the name of the site but it looked somewhat interesting, it had a black headline and said the title in red. and so I started to scroll down the page. There were some videos that I just assumed were adds so I scrolled past them then I stopped on a large looking article and started to read it. It seemed pretty normal at first but when I got near the end it got disturbing. "This weeks video will consist of our victims arms being cut off and them being hung by their feet on a meat hook. This was most requested as of last week, Enjoy". Then my computer screen turned black and I assumed that my computer crashed so I waited for the home screen to be shown next as it usually does when it crashes, but this didn't happen. next it showed a room that looked as if it were a basement, there was an operation table and a meat hook plus some mechanical tape. I was confused at first until I heard faint screaming coming from the background of the video and a man was shown being carried by to heavily built men by the arms. They placed him on the operation table on his back, still holding down his arms. Then another man with a white mask slowly walked toward the men with a circular saw in hand. At this point I was freaking out and tried to find an exit button to the video but the video was frozen onto the screen. It was one of the things where you just can't look away. I stared at the screen as I heard his screams and unwillingly watched his arms get cut off. They grabbed him and hung him on the meet hook by stabbing it into his feet. I threw up after the video. "How can people be this sick in the head to be able to do this stuff, or watch it while enjoying it?!" I thought to myself in disbelief. I looked at the chat bar and there was people commenting that they loved it and that they need to do more things like that. I felt sick and tried to turn off my computer but it wouldn't shut off. I unplugged it as soon as a warning popped onto the screen that said "You're next, we have your location and you aren't safe anymore". I ran to grab a knife and when I grabbed onto one there was a loud bang on the kitchen window. I turned around to see a man peering into my window. he hit the window again with the back of a knife, breaking the window when he saw that I saw him and I ran to my room locking the door. I heard him run up the stairs and my heart dropped the sudden he started banging on my door and I felt my door caving in. The door broke and I lost all hope as I was knocked out. The last thing I remember was waking up in the same room I had saw in the video, the rest is a blur.

Hey! I'm a buyer. Well, a lurker. I finally made my first etsy purchase earlier today (ordered an item as a gift and had it shipped to a friend). Awhile later, I found a second item I wanted (same day) and tried to order that too. I got this error message:
Your account is currently suspended
Etsy has suspended your account privileges. Please check your email for a message explaining why, and how to restore your account. If you have further questions, contact Etsy Support.
I did not get an email from etsy, even though it said I should check my email. I haven't ever used etsy before and I don't understand why I am suspended for only purchasing an item.
UPDATE: I received an e-mail back from support after contacting them. My last name and first initial (at least, maybe first name too) are the same as another user who is banned for "policy violations" and so they have banned me as a linked account. Again, I don't have another Etsy account and never have. What can I do? Anything?
I used my PayPal account to sell and buy on eBay where I have a 100% positive record from my buyers, not a single complaint from my clients in one year. A month ago a recieved an email from PayPal saying that my account has been limited because my activity violates some of the agreements I had with them.
The letter says: “Our decision is based on one of these reasons: You provided information we believe false, inaccurate, or misleading.” (Paypal uses the the phrase “we believe” meaning they are not sure if I was violating any agree agreement at all.)
The letter continues: “You sent or received money that could be related to fraudulent activity” (“COULD” another verb that indicates possibility.)
Continues: “You have more than one account with a negative balance” (FALSE!!!)
Continues: “You are in violation of an agreement you have with PayPal such as the User Agreement, the Commercial Entity Agreement, or the Acceptable Use Policy” (I took the time to read all that and I wasn´t violating anything stated there.)
I made two calls, asking why they closed my account and the answer was the same, according to the agreement they have the right to close and account and not telling the client the reason for such an action.
What the f*^k?
This is a country where a person is innocent until proven guilty right?
Is PayPal a supra-constitutional entity that judges and gives sentence to a person without even communicating the charges and with no right to defense?
Of course, PayPal waited until there was an substantial amount of money in my account to close it, I used to transfer the money to my bank account almost every day, but the week I didn´t, when I had $2600 they decided to freeze it. And the say they are going to keep “MY MONEY” for 45 days.
I was wondering how many millions of other people dollars has PayPal in their accounts in “hold” every day?
This is certainly a financial business-game and PayPal uses OUR MONEY to invest and, when they need extra cash they freeze accounts in order to retain more money for 45 days.
PayPal runs a Monopolistic and Corrupt business, they excuse their illegal actions with the “User Agreement”. F*^k that! No crappy agreement can be over the law and the constitution!!!

"I had a guy come over and he was attractive so we had sex and then went to sleep. I had to wake this kid up at noon and be like OK, I have to get ready for work, you need to leave.
So he started to get dressed and couldn't find one sock. HE ACCUSED ME OF STEALING IT. He searched through all my drawers and dumped out my dirty clothes hamper looking for it. I ended up finding it weeks later in my sock drawer. I kind of think he planted it there, but I'm not sure why.
So he finally starts to leave and HIS CAR GOT TOWED because he parked exactly where I told him not to. Looking back now I would've told him tough s---, got him an Uber and went to work. But I took him to the car tow place so he could get it back. And of course he doesn't have his wallet. So I had to pay for it, and sign for it because he doesn't have an ID on him. BUT the car tow place DOESN'T TAKE CARDS so we had to go find an ATM to get cash.
So he finally gets his car, I'm already like 30 minutes late to work, and he goes, 'Okay I'll call you later' and I just said 'Never talk to me again.'
He texted a few hours later and said he lost the stylus for his phone. I blocked his number." - Reddit user Shmalloryrenee
