I got laid thanks to my friend’s puppies

Feels a bit sleazy saying this. The guy(18) I wanted to sleep with didn’t want to do any one night stands and had rejected a girl who just wanted to hook up before.

I was thinking about how to convince him when I overheard him talking about how he really likes puppies.

So I showed him a picture of my friend’s adorable puppies and lied that they were my pups. I asked if he wanted to come home with me and see them. It worked.

When he went back to my place with me, I managed to persuade him into hooking up. Ended up asking him out later and we’re still dating today.

Still feeling a bit sleazy though, like I said, even though it turned out well. I did kind of trick him into coming home with me. Was it bad what I did?

1. Congratulations, I guess lying can work for innocuous things. I learned something new about the fact that being overly concerned with morals leads to suffering.
2. I mean, it worked didn‘t it. I have two dogs and i‘m still single
3. The puppies were just a pretext for both of you. It was not the determining factor in his sleeping with you or dating you. Obviously, he liked you and was looking for a reason. So you should not feel bad at all.
4. for once, i think this isnt bad for a woman nor for a man. There was no gaslighting drama or grooming or whatever. Just the same thing as “hey, wanna get inside for some coffee?” imo. Yeah, lied about the pups. But its not a big lie.
5. So you lured him home with the promise of puppies and all he got were sweater puppies instead? If I were him, I’d still be happy.
6. Can someone lure me with puppies too, I like poodles.

“I was out for an evening run one night, when I saw a lot of my neighbours under my block burning joss paper.

I am an atheist as well as a skeptic, and I didn’t believe in ghosts or the supernatural at all, choosing to look at the scientific side of things.

That night, after returning from my run, I was walking along the pavement beside the grass patch where my neighbour were burning joss paper.

I accidentally kicked over a couple of red candles used for the offerings, and the wax got onto my sneakers.

I tsk-ed out loud, visibly annoyed at ruining my shoes.

I then returned home and took a shower, before going to bed.

That night, I had a very vivid dream that I was being strangled by an old couple who looked like they were very angry about something.

The old man scratched my neck while the old woman tried to slap my face but missed, slapping my left shoulder instead.

They were shouting something that I couldn’t make out or understand, and they were really angry at me for some reason.

The dream was very vivid and it felt extremely real.

I later woke up from the dream and found myself inside the old couple’s HDB flat, where they were seated on an old wooden sofa and staring at me.

I thought to myself, how did I get here? I thought I was at home.

The old woman said that she was starving and was about to eat her food when I blinded her by stepping on the candles, she couldn’t find her food.

I thought back to earlier that day when I stepped on the candles and realised what I had done.

I turned around to run out of the house and the old couple was right there, in front of my face screaming in Chinese: “I’M HUNGRY!”

I fainted and woke up inside my room, I looked around my room and realised that it was just a dream – I had apparently “woken up” into another dream.

I then got changed and planned to head downstairs to the spot where I stepped on the candles.

I opened my bedroom door and to my horror, I saw the old couple again right outside my room.

They stood rooted to the floor and pointed right at me, screaming: “I’M HUNGRY!”

I then woke up again in my bed, it was yet another dream.

By now I’m starting to question my reality and I pinched myself as hard as I could, it hurt – I’m certain that I’m no longer dreaming.

I went to the toilet and looked into the mirror, I discovered marks on my neck as well as on my left shoulder.

I didn’t even change out of my clothes, I ran down to the grass patch under my block, to the spot where I stepped on the candles and clasped my palms together.

I apologised out loud for stepping on the candles and begged the spirits for forgiveness.

I am now a firm believer in the supernatural and I learned to respect and be careful around offerings now.”

My (31m) gf (29f) punched me in the face when I asked her to take off her robe

So, basically we were getting ready for bed last night and my gf was in her robe because she was cold.

I asked her to take off her robe so we could cuddle and use our body heat for warmth.

When I asked her to do so, she just punched me in the face.. She said it was an accident but let’s be real here, she has a bit of a history doing stuff like this over silly things at this point.

I love her, and I’ve developed an amazing bond with her but man, I think this really might just keep escalating.. Is there some way I can discuss this with her to make her see the light or is it just kind of what it is? She’s moving in with me VERY SOON, AAAAAAAAH

Netizens’ comments

1. Just to be clear, you’re asking for advice about a partner who is physically violent with you on purpose? RUN LIKE HELL.
2. Anyone who punches you in the face isn’t your friend
3. How do you accidently punch someone in the face? Lmao bro. I wish to say this respectfully. Get your head out of your @ss
4. My dude, you’ve already conceded she has a history of doing things like this over silly stuff. Your gf is a grown woman. You don’t punch someone in the face accidentally. She knows what the she did. You know what the f she did. Please get a grip and a backbone. This woman will continue to hit you as long as you allow her in your space to do so. This is not something therapy can rectify.
   You really want her in your home doing this shit?
5. If the tables were turned you’d be in jail. This is deeply disturbing behavior and underlines some serious mental or emotional issues. You may want to postpone moving in Cuz it feels like this will heavily escalate when you move in. Therapy may be needed here.

Spirit won’t let guy go home

This happened to me about 8 years ago, during the Hungry Ghost Festival.

I am not superstitious, so I never took any advice about going home late during this period of time. I also tend to work late hours (being in an agency all).

That one night, I had wrapped up at 11+pm, and had taken a Grab home. I had reached my void deck without incident, and hit the lift button to call the lift. Now, for those who live in HDBs, you know that the newer lifts have this loud “beep beep, beep beep” when the door opens, and the doors open quite quickly to the button press if they are in a “mid-closing” kind of situation.

My lift arrives, and I get on. I hit my floor, and close the door. The door closes, then reopens on its own with that “beep beep, beep beep”. At that point, I thought it was some lift error so I hit the door close button again.

“beep beep, beep beep” The lift door re-opens. I try again.

“beep beep, beep beep” I am still on the first floor. I try one more time.

“beep beep, beep beep”

This time, I poke my head out, to see if anyone is messing around or hitting the lift button from the outside. It’s dead quiet, and there’s no one even remotely nearby. That silence was what set my heart racing.

Before I tried again, I just issued a desperate plea to whatever was messing with me.

“Please, I’m really tired. It’s been a long day for me. I just want to go home.”

I hit the door close button, and this time, I was able to go home.

Dead employee still going back to work

Used to work in Tuas. Office is like a long container layout on the 2nd story overseeing the production floor.

Few weeks prior. Colleague sitting behind my cubicle passed away in a car accident. I had to send my father to the airport around 6am so i was in the office at 7am. It was still dark, apart from security guard at the gantry to the compound, I was all alone in the office.

So i sat down to do some studying using only my cubicle light, whole office dark. 10 to 15 mins later i heard someone typing on a keyboard…around a sentence long. So close to me..feels like at the back of my head. I stood up and walk the length of the office and checking all the managers doors. Nope..nope nope nope nope.

Sat down and on music….

PART 2

Few days later…store man who reached early was walking past our office stairs saw dead colleague climbing up to report for work. He freak and ran out all the way to the main road. Lol

Sigh poor guy die already still go back work..

Haunted KTV

I shared this story before a while back, told to me by my friend.

He and his girlfriend went to a certain ktv in the central part of Singapore during seventh month a few years ago. Now this is a big no no for various reasons, it’s believed that spirits are attracted to dark spaces (ktv rooms are generally really dark) and music and singing (as entertainment).

They spent a few hrs in the room singing, had fun and then left to make payment. But then at the front desk the cashiers tried to charge them for three people, and kept insisting that when they arrived they had another lady with them. My friend argued with them, and finally they decided to check the footage from security cams in the room.

To his horror, the footage showed three people in the room! An additional lady crouched on the sofa just beside his gf, looking at the floor throughout the session. And when my friend and his gf left the room together, she stood up and left with them, all the while still gazing at the same spot on the floor. As the cashiers watched the video, it dawned on them what was happening, and they waived off the charges for the ‘third person’

Ghost impersonating nurse

This happened a year ago. I have a chronic health condition and have to pay regular visits to a certain specialist clinic in the west of SG. I’m such a regular there that I know most of the nurses and support personnel by face and have interacted with them quite frequently during my visits there.

On one of my visits, I noticed one of the older nurses who I hadn’t seen in a long time was on duty. She recognised me too in the midst of some mini staff conference going on behind the service desk and we nodded at each other. The rest of the visit was pretty much uneventful, till my next appointment..

The next visit, I noticed she wasn’t working and proceeded to enquire about her. My attending nurse was shocked silent for a moment before telling me she had retired a few years ago. The last time I ‘saw’ her, the clinic had also moved into its new premises in the wing. Guess it wasn’t really her I saw then and that place, despite being new isn’t really that ‘clean’…

I don’t believe in the supernatural, neither am I religious but I’m really dreading my upcoming appointment during these next few weeks..

The haunted Semi-D

This happened when I was around 17-18yrs old. I was out with my buddy walking around in town and we decided to go back to my place to play playstation.

I was staying in a semi-D that time and we reach my place around 10pm. Once back I noticed no one was home so we just proceed to the living room and turn on the tv and play games.

After an hour and midway thru our games, suddenly I heard my sister shouting for me from the second level. I immediately turned my head towards the staircase where her voice was coming from. There was a dim light at the staircase but the second level was dark as no one was home except us. She was shouting in Hokkien, “my nickname*, faster come up! Faster come up!”

“Ah-nickname, ka kin ki lai, ka kin ki lai!”

She sounded very desperate and urgent, as if something is very wrong and wanted me to come up immediately.

But it’s very weird, because my sis and I spoke hokkien to each other only when we are young. As we grow up and started primary/ secondary school, we started speaking English/ mandarin to each other. We still speak Hokkien to my mum, but to each other, speaking Hokkien is like what we don’t do anymore.

My buddy and I immediately stopped and turned to look at each other. I’m pondering if I should go up to have a look, but yet somehow I know that’s not my Sister.

After like a 3 second pause, the voice started shouting the same thing again, asking me to come up immediately!

I immediately put down the controller and gestured to my buddy to go to the kitchen, which is at the back of the living room, opposite of the stairs.

Once we are at the kitchen, both of us was dumbfounded. I don’t know what to say and he was silent too. Somehow I’m not totally freaked out, just felt creepy and weird. We stay in the kitchen for a short while, then as we felt ‘more normal’, we headed back to the living to play games.

After a short while, maybe somewhere past midnight, my parents came back home and my Sister was with them. Everything was normal, my parent and sis say hi to my buddy and headed upstairs to their rooms.

I only told my sis about this incident after we moved out of the semi D, and she was creeped out. It seems the place was ‘not very clean’ as after we moved out we started sharing stories and weird experiences we had there.

For me I Guess that’s the closest I’ve ever experienced with regards to the supernatural. I would say that I’m an atheist, but this incident really makes me wonder what to believe. Lol.

What should I do if I was fatshamed several times in my work?

Hi, sorry for the late night post. I legit couldn’t sleep due to the issue as written on the title.

So I (Foreigner) am currently on my probationary period in my company (just started work, into second month of probation, will end in the third month). There is this guy who made remarks about my physique three times since I began work.

In chronological order, they are:

He asked about my weight.

He called me 小胖 (xiao pang, or little fatty)

This happened yesterday. I was about to open a door for someone who rang the bell, so I got up from my seat. Then he said “Yeah better get up and move, else you’ll be fat”

Growing up fat and being fatshamed by numerous people such as teachers etc. I feel deeply insecure about my body image.

Regarding all these remarks, I did not respond with hostile remarks, but honestly these remarks left a sour taste in my mouth. I am seriously contemplating to report him to my reporting manager, but since I’m in probationary period I’m afraid that will affect the company’s evaluation of me, and I am afraid that this guy will even shame me with worse remarks. And this guy is “nice” to the rest of the team.

So what should I do at this point?

EDIT: I’m currently doing Intermittent Fasting and also taking evening paced walks for my exercise. Forgot to add this. My bad.

Netizens’ comments

Tell him at least fat can be changed, but his ugliness will stay forever.

Jokes aside, idk why people continue to fat shame. They’re messed up. It’s not like those people who are clinically overweight and obese don’t know it themselves. Trust me they know they are fat and they are trying to do something about it even if you can’t see. It’s not like those people aren’t already beating themselves up in their head and receiving countless remarks from others.

I’m overweight and I know I’m fat. I look damn horrible in pictures. I don’t need others to continuously tell me and fat shame me bro like do u really think I’m not doing anything about it? Weight loss doesn’t happen overnight.

I think u should talk to him about it in private saying you don’t like it. If he continues, then gather voice recording evidence and report to HR

Btw it’s completely normal for weight to fluctuate and change over time. And also, if you didn’t already know, even medication can cause you to gain weight. Also, if you didn’t already know, sometimes they have health conditions where their weight is really out of their control even though they are eating healthy (on a calorie deficit), exercising etc.

Fat shaming people is so immature. People who are self-confident and know their self-worth would never insult another person.

I hope these people who fat shame receive the same treatment they give others one day.

So last night my gf saw me without anything on for like the 1000th time, except this time she claims it was the first time I wasn’t hard.

I don’t really believe this to be true. But anyway, she ended up calling it a “tiny” “cute” and a “baby” D . I immediately felt embarrassed and ashamed, which I know I probably shouldn’t.

To make matters worse she is a nurse so she has seen a bunch of Ds from babies to old men. She also claims that she loves mine and it was just a misunderstanding and that she used the wrong words.

Now I don’t know what to think is true. I just feel like it’s all I’m going to be thinking about whenever we are getting intimate in the future and my confidence is now at an all time low, to the point of not even wanting to sleep with her anymore.

I just feel like body comments should be off limits because you will always hurt the other person with them. Any advice or thoughts on this situation?

Netizens’ comments

1. I also have a grower. My girlfriend also things it’s cute when it’s small. She even came up with a name for it. She calls it fishy when it’s small and is fascinated by how small it is. I have an slightly over average sized D and I don’t care how small it can be when it’s not in action mode. Think of your D in the action mode and how she loves it in these situations. The rest of the time doesn’t matter to me.
2. My husband is a grower and I always say “hey there little guy” in a baby voice and start playing with it. So soft and squishy
3. I’m a grower and I find women are kinda fascinated by it growing and shrinking. Most likely she does not experience that very often in her medical capacity.
   I would take offense to tiny and baby as well. Cute seems okay. But you’re entitled to your own agency here. Just say you feel emasculated by those words, and you’d prefer she uses more neutral language.
   Be that as it may, I don’t think she was trying to humiliate you or anything. It’s a communication thing to work out.
