An airline crew from an anonymous airline shared a story about an eerie yet touching incident which he claims to have encountered during one of his flights.
It happened during mid-flight, while most of the passengers were fast asleep and the cabin was dark as the lights were switched off and the windows were all shut.
Here is the story
“I was working on this flight and we had just finished our meal service.
It was a long flight and usually after the meal service, we will keep the lights in the cabin off so as to allow the passengers to have a conducive sleeping environment.
I was alone in the galley during this flight as my other colleagues had went to rest first and another one was checking the lavatories.
This particular elderly man then walked into the galley, introduced himself and asked if I could bring a cup of hot tea to his wife sitting at row 42 as she is feeling cold.
I obliged politely and smiled at him and proceeded to prepare the cup of tea.
He thanked me and disappeared while I was preparing the tea.
I walked to row 42 and served the tea to an elderly lady who was at the seat and she told me that she did not order the tea.
I smiled and told her ‘Oh it was ordered for you by your husband as he mentioned that you are feeling cold.’
Looking surprised, she asked me ‘you saw my husband? are you sure?’, then proceeded to take out her phone and showed me an elderly man’s picture and asked if it the same guy.
I said yes and complimented her for having such a caring and loving husband.
Suddenly, tears started to roll down her face.
She then said ‘i don’t mean to scare you but actually my husband had passed away a few days back and I am bringing his body back home for burial now, his coffin is actually inside the cargo compartment right now.’
In a shocking revelation, a leaked audio recording has brought to light the alleged mistreatment experienced by the late singer Coco Lee during her time as a judge on the popular Chinese singing competition show, ‘Sing! China.’
The audio, spanning nine minutes, features Coco emotionally recounting the ordeal she faced at the hands of the show’s production team.
The incident revolved around her support for one of her mentees and the subsequent backlash she received from the production team.
Coco Lee’s Emotional Outburst
The leaked audio captures Coco Lee’s emotional outpouring as she describes the alleged humiliation she endured from the production team.
It was triggered by the disqualification of one of her mentees, Zhou Feige, despite receiving a relatively high score of 88.3.
In stark contrast, contestants with lower scores were allowed to proceed to the next round, leading to Coco’s impassioned protest.
Questioning the Unfairness
During the show, Coco Lee voiced her discontent over the apparent unfairness of the decision. She boldly questioned why a contestant with a higher score was denied the opportunity to continue while those with lower scores were advanced. Her frustration with this discrepancy resonated with viewers and sparked a heated discussion.
Amidst the chaos, Coco Lee remained steadfast in her stance. She boldly proclaimed that what she said was the truth and lamented that her words were likely to be edited out, emphasizing her desire for transparency and fairness.
Battling Adversity
Coco Lee’s candid revelation that she battled breast cancer further highlighted her commitment to the show and the contestants.
She expressed her willingness to put her health at risk to be a part of the platform that celebrated her love for music and helped young artists thrive.
She exclaimed shakily “It’s okay if I sacrifice myself, but I never expected these people to be bad people. They targeted me because I told the truth.”
Allegations of Mistreatment
The audio recording unveiled allegations of mistreatment, including claims that Coco Lee was physically manhandled by the show’s assistants.
She described a distressing incident where she was reportedly grabbed and threatened when she tried to stand up for her beliefs.
Performing Through Pain
A particularly distressing revelation was Coco’s account of being made to perform despite her pre-existing leg condition.
She recounted how she had made arrangements to accommodate her condition during rehearsals, only to be forced to perform without support during filming. The emotional toll this took on her was palpable as she described the humiliation she felt on stage.
She had a leg condition and couldn’t stand for too long, and she got her mentee Wang Zepeng to stand beside her during the performance because she didn’t want to been seen with crutches or sitting in a wheelchair.
However, during the filming of the performance, the production team made her move to the side of the stage, resulting in her without anything to support her and she couldn’t stabilise herself standing – as a result, she performed the song in pain, and she called the show’s producers for humiliating her.
9. Response from ‘Sing! China’
In response to the leaked audio, the show’s producers released a statement acknowledging misunderstandings during production.
They expressed their respect for Coco Lee’s dedication to the show and her role as a judge. However, they declined to provide further details and requested that Coco’s memory be respected.
Tragically, Coco Lee passed away on July 5 at the age of 48. Her legacy as a talented singer and a dedicated mentor on ‘Sing! China’ continues to resonate with fans and fellow artists alike.
Her willingness to stand up against injustice and mistreatment serves as an inspiration to those who value integrity and fairness.
A netizen shared how she has been lying to her boyfriend about everything about her life, including her name.
Here is the story
I met my boyfriend 3 years ago online on a discord server. We talked every day for a year and saw each other IRL a couple years ago.
When I met him online, I gave him a fake name, a fake age and a fake life. I told him I was an only child, I lied about my age ( I told him I was older than I was, 25 but I’m 22), about my work and generally painted a false picture of my life.
I never lied to him about my feelings for him, my dislikes and likes, or my issues.
I didn’t think we would get so close when we met and I didn’t know what to say when we did. I am afraid he’ll leave me if he learns the truth.
We’ve been dating and seeing each other in real life few weeks or so for a year now and he wants to meet my family. I need to tell him I lied but I’m sure it will hurt him and I don’t want him to leave me. I love him more than anything.
I don’t know what to do.
Netizens’ comments
Telling him the truth is the only way forward.
Tell him the truth, all of it! Then tell him why, at this point honesty is all you’ve got. If he leaves then take the lesson and move on.
One way or another, he’s going to find out. Better it come from you coming clean, than him finding out on his own. Hopefully he’ll understand. If not, well, you’ll know for the next guy you meet, yes?
I recently met a guy online, he seems to be a ‘well to do guy’ and he is very polite that’s why I agreed to meet him for a meal.
I told him that eating anywhere is fine and he insist that I dress up as he said that our first meal together should be special and he brought me to an atas restaurant.
He told me that he is a regular at the restaurant as he enjoys the food there, I started to ask him if he brings a lot of girls there. He said I’m the first one and I started to suspect him.
We enjoyed our food and chit-chatted more and more, I really enjoyed talking to him. He said that he will send me home after the meal and he called the waiter for the bill.
When his wallet opened there were a lot of cards inside, most of them look like visa credit cards.
While we were waiting for the bill he started to talk about his career and said that he got promoted recently as a senior manager and started to brag, which was a different side of him.
The waiter came back and said that his credit card has been declined and I was kinda shocked. I decided to save some face for him and played my phone and pretend that I did not hear it.
He took another credit card from his wallet and he tried again, he then tried to explain that maybe he forgot to pay the bills for his credit card and I told him it’s okay.
This time he did not wait for the waiter to return and he went to the counter and watch the waiter tried to charge his credit card. I decided to play some games on my phone while waiting for him.
When I turned around, he was gone. I asked the waiter where he went, the waiter said:
“He said that you will settle the bill and he has already left as he was in a hurry for something”
I was like wth… I don’t mind paying but this kind of behaviour is just too loser. He could have told me the truth about him, I don’t care if he had money anot. Just find that he’s nice to talk to. But everything is a lie, that’s why wallet have so many credit cards. He is living a life of loans and lies.
I settled the bill and tried to contact him but he has already blocked me on Whatsapp and on the dating app.
A guy shared how he and his girlfriend were bored of doing the usual stuff during their intimate activities and so decided to try a different approach while doing stuff.
They went to a shop to decide on what ‘tool’ to get and decided to get one which the girlfriend likes.
They then went home to try it out.
Here is the story
“Me and my girlfriend were getting bored of our usual routine so we decided to go to a shop to get a ‘tool’ to spice things up a little.
After deciding on what to get, we rushed home to try it out.
While we were getting it on, we took out the tool and used it except that it was not the right place.
After some experimentation, we managed to achieve our goal and she enjoyed it and asked me to continue.
Moments later she felt something wasn’t right so we stopped what we were doing and checked and now it was fully up there and starting to disappear deeper in.
It was stucked.
We panicked and I’m yelling “Push! Push! Push like you have to take a dump!”
She yelled back “I don’t wanna give birth from the wrong place in front of you!!”
She gave up after a while and asked me to try to pull it out.
The whole process is to messy and gross to share and after a few tries, it came out.
I guess from now on, we will use the ‘tools’ in the way it was rightfully intended.”
I love telling people the truth. If they got hurt from it, it’s just bonus for me.
Truth is truth. Facts are facts. Both of them are objective. Feelings are not facts. It can be valid, but it won’t change the truth. The more hurtful people feel from the truth, the more I enjoy telling it.
I first discovered this feeling from about a decade ago. My friend was really into this one korean actor, and one day this Korean actor got married and my friend got so sad she cried. Then I proceed to say that it’s not like she has any chance with him. He doesn’t even know she existed. Plus, even if he does, what does she have at all to get him? Nothing.
When I told her that, she got so mad and screamed at me saying things like “No he’s my husband how dare you say I’m nothing” and bla bla bla. At that moment, I feel pure happiness from her reaction to the truth. She’s denying the obvious objective truth. So I keep on telling to the point she left screaming.
Since then, I enjoy doing that. I became extremely honest to everyone. Be it about a problem, about themselves, about their attitude, etc. I long as its the truth, I’ll say it. If they accept it, they’ll learn. If they deny and get angry from it, I’ll enjoy that moment. Huge win win for me.
And nothing can make me stop. I’ve received so much truth about myself from others as so called “payback”. Like people say I’m arrogant, I’m heartless, I’m so full of myself, and of course, a sadist. They think it’s gonna hurt me saying all that hahahahahaha. I wasn’t even mad or hurt like duh it is true. I am all of those things hahahahhaha. Plus it’s fair, go ahead and do the same to me.
With this ability, I managed to filter who’s real and who’s fake. Those who left are extremely fake. Those who stayed, they told me that although my words hurt when I told them the truth about themselves, it shows that I’m real and just wants the best for them. It’s because of me they learn and grow from it. And that too, makes me happy.
Most people just love to deny the truth. I’m just saying, if I say the Sun is hot, you can deny it, you can be angry at me about it, you can feel sad, you can cry, and you can go insane all you want.
Regardless of what you feel or what you do, the Sun will continue to be hot. And that’s a fact you can’t change
Stop living in your delusional world. Wake the f up
So I’ve been working this job for a while, maybe a bit under 5 months. I’ve had no issues with the job, been told I do great by management, am liked by customers, etc.
I’ve been talked to about an issue once, which I can easily explain away as a miscommunication or misunderstanding; basically I didn’t know who the owner was and that pissed him off.
Not that I was rude to him at all! My manager even ended that conversation thanking me for being mature and not taking anything personally about the interaction.
This, I can’t help but take a little personally. I got fired for picking up my water bottle.
Let me explain, I had worked a shift, went home, and was on my way out the door somewhere, when I realized I had packed everything I needed except my water bottle, which I had left at work.
No biggie, I live nearby, but still, I’m running late now, so I come back, walk in, not even into the back, reach over the front desk/counter, grab my water bottle.
I can see my fellow workers helping customers, and as I said, I was in a bit of a hurry, didn’t want to stay and chat for 15 minutes as I had just gotten off, didn’t want to disturb anyone, so I just picked it up, waved it a bit, to say “hey, I just came for this, goodnight,” whatever right?
Swear to god I was in the store for less than a MINUTE. I didn’t walk in with a scary or intimidating look on my face or anything, I’m a small female, I don’t look physically intimidating, ever.
When I’m mad I don’t express being mad, when I’m mad, I just don’t go out of my way to be nice or say hi to everyone I see. I wasn’t rude, I didn’t really say anything, like I said, was in there for less than a minute.
So I was getting ready for my shift yesterday, maybe an hour before, and my manager texts me, hey, can I call in 10 minutes for a quick chat? Sure, why not.
She tells me there was someone in the store during that quick less than a minute who knows management who reported me for “attitude.” Her hands are tied she says. I’ll get paid for this and next week but don’t have to show up.
So yeah. I got fired for “attitude.” I think I’m still in a bit of shock to be honest.
A netizen shared how he was “warned” about his grandfather’s impending death when he was a kid.
Here is the story
When I was 11, I live with two sisters and my grandpa. My mother just gave us zero fucks and kinda moved elsewhere with her ex.
It was around 3a.m., and I got up to get some water. Just for picture, one of my living room walls was almost completely taken by the window, which let some street lights to get in.
When I was going back to my room, I went through the living room and saw someone very tall and very thin, as my grandpa, standing in front of the window.
The thing is: it had no features. It was like a silhouette cut from the background, just black. I ran to my room in panic.
A week later, when I got up in the morning, I found my grandpa laying on the bathroom floor. He had a stroke.
The doctors said he had it around 3a.m. Exactly a week after I saw the shadow. My grandpa never woke up. He died about two weeks later.
Just for additional facts, maybe just coincidences: it was August 17, 2003. It was my sister’s birthday. And exact nine years later I had my son.
Netizens’ comments
That’s both creepy and sad at the same time. I’m sorry for you and your family for losing someone like that. The date thing is really spooky though
Sounds like you saw his spirit! Or something like it since time doesn’t really exist after you cross over, at least not how the human mind comprehends time. I really believe that important dates in families are so significant that is so interesting that your son was born on that same exact day out of 365 others. My grandmother died on my first birthday.
When I (53w) was 36, I met a man who completely swept me off my feet. I’m talking poetry, little thoughtful handmade gifts, intense make-out sessions,and amazing in the bedroom.
He told me he loved me after one month and said he’d never felt like this about anyone before.
In the beginning he told me he had just broken up with his girlfriend of 7 years.
Her name was Jennifer, and he has a tattoo with her name on it. My name is also Jennifer and we kind of made a joke about him only dating Jennifers.
I expressed concern about being the rebound girl, but our feelings were so intense I chose to ignore that. About 6 months in, and after ignoring some red flags about his whereabouts sometimes, I got a call.
“Hello, is this Jennifer?” “Yes, who is this?” “This is Jennifer, Sean’s girlfriend.” “But I’m Sean’s girlfriend!” “I’m letting you know that we got back together 3 months ago and he’s been cheating on me and you with each other”.
Her and I talked for an hour and I found out that he would text me from her bed while she was showering after f-ing.
We compared notes and discovered many times when we both f-ed with him on the same day. There were times she gave him oral after he had been with me without showering in between.
At this point, he was working on a company project and was gone for three months. She stopped answering his calls and so did I.
She invited me to meet up. While we were sitting together, our phones were ringing non-stop. He would call hers, and then mine. Over and over and over.
Finally, I answered her phone.
“Hello, Sean. This is Jennifer. Did you want to speak to other Jennifer? She’s right here.”
You could hear his shock over the phone. We both told him to go f himself.
I was heartbroken, of course, but more than that I was angry and humiliated. That was what hurt the most for me. That I had been duped. That he played me for a fool.
Unfortunately for her, they got back together and ended up having a child together. She already had two children from her previous relationship to him.
Skip to 10 years later, I’m creeping her Facebook account and see that they are no longer together and she hates him.
I PMd her. We messaged back and forth for a while. She told me how lucky I was to have dodged that bullet. He had another woman the whole time they were living together raising their daughter.
She finally kicked him to the curb but will be forever forced to deal with him as a co-parent.
