Hey Pandas, What's The Most Horrifying Thing Someone Confessed To You, Drunk Or Sober?

He confessed to sleeping with my Mum. It was my Dad.

A fellow employee told me (over lunch!) that he baited large fish hooks and hung them from tree branches to catch and ultimately kill cats that wandered into his yard.

A friend once confessed to stepping on my puppy while drunk. She couldnt get her footing so she kept "squishing" her foot around till she got traction. My puppy died 4 hrs later! I never knew why till she confessed. Haven't spoken with her since.

My former best friend just casually mentioned she condones conversion therapy. She has been dipping into weird ideological rabbit holes for some time already and that was the last straw which proved the friendship is slowly but surely going to hell.

It was during a fight. I said, "I wish I died. I wished I never existed."
And that person (who is pretty close to me and is supposed to be a good role model) agreed and said: "Yes, I wished you NEVER WERE BORN."

That they were only friends with me because they liked my sister...

Best friend (at the time) confessed that she wanted to kill me and gave me death threats for 3 months

Confessed to murdering a child in their home country. Many hours spent trying to learn how to report a crime to a 3rd world country's legal system. Not fruitful.

"I raped an 11-yr-old boy" from a friend's brother. He thought it funny b/c the boy was Iraqi and he himself was a bada$$ US Marine. "Then I pi$$ed on his body in the ditch." He was cold sober. I watched him grow up, he goes to war, that's who came back... Or was hiding inside all along :-(

My MIL (71 years old) confessed that she sometimes tries to see she’s able to put her toe in her mouth. You know, ‘to check I’m still able to do that’.
Every time I see her, I can’t get that picture off my mind

His real name, and why he didn't use it...

When I was living aboard in Thailand, my next door neighbor was an older Canadian expat and we were quite friendly. He'd regularly invite me over for tea or a beer. He told me some crazy stories of his travels. He had been living off a substantial pension for decades. When I asked him what his career was that had allowed him to retire so young, he said he had been a train conductor. Didn't think much more of it until one day, at our local bar, someone came in and recognized him, but called his a totally different name. He got kinda pale and made an excuse to go home. When I saw him for coffee the next morning, he confessed that year prior, due to no fault of his own (structural issue), his train had a horrible accident with many fatalities. Canadian government essentially paid him hush money to take the fall for the crash and secretly set him up with a fat pension. He couldn't stay in Canada cause he was blamed for the many deaths and publicly reviled, so he took the money and ran. He'd only been back to Canada once or twice in 30 years when I met him, and they were recent trips. He had to abandon his two kids when he left, and it's taken decades to rebuild any kind of relationship with them, but otherwise he's generally at peace with the whole thing. It would have been very hard to prove his innocence- he said he'd make the same choice again.

A very close friend had been pregnant and desperately wanted a girl, but instead gave birth to a son. She confessed to me that she had frequently considered walking into the lake with him and drowning him.

My mom, in a context I don't remember, told me that she'd been raped in her past. Considering she was an alcoholic til the day she died, it explained a lot, but I would give anything to un-know this.

A very, very, ex boyfriend from back in the 70's said he had sex with his own mother. Yes, biological mother. Seemed proud of it.

my friend confessed that he drank & smoked weed to avoid his depression.

idk anymore

Horrifying? Maybe not, but it really ticked me off. This happened about a year ago. I got a phone call from, Gloria, a female friend that I've known for over 40 years, since we were teenagers. I had an absolutely MASSIVE crush on her back then. She has recently had a series of surgeries and was taking a lot of pain medication. She called and was obviously over-medicated. During the call she began telling me how much in love with me she was back when we were teens, but she never let me know because my older sister THREATENED HER to make her stay away from me. Apparently my sister didn't think she was right for me, and that she would hurt me. After I got off the phone with her, I called my sister and asked her about it. My sister said that she doesn't remember specifically saying anything to Gloria, but it sounds like something she would have done because she thought that Gloria was, to use the term of the time "fast". I couldn't get too mad at my sister because I've been happily married for 30 years, and I have a great family. But, damn, Gloria was FINE!

My ex in a bid to ”make me admit” to cheating on him, which I didn’t, confessed to sleeping with his neighbour’s wife during the lockdown.

Someone confessed to having committed b********y. Ewww.

A drunk man in panmure one day told me that he confessed to me that he knew what bus I catched, so I think he was stalking me?

My friend told me that they were told they drove someone to committing when they were 9. I feel so bad for them-they were in a s****y situation, and it was NOT their fault (the person in mention was 15 and "dating" them) but they still feel terrible years later.
