" I opine my parents and uncle might k*ll me if they find out . "
In a recent Reddit post shared tor/AskReddit, site useru/Necrocharmasked, “What’s a secret that you think would shock everyone if it came out?” Here are some of the most-upvoted replies:
1.“I don’t actually know what I am doing at work. I have no qualifications or previous work experience in the field. I just wing it every day and seem to get results.”
" The only job I had before this was washing dishes at a care home .
I did n’t lie on my sketch , I reckon they just liked me . "

2.“Many years ago my husband and I were hosting my family at our home. The plan was burgers and all the standard summer sides, (fruit, salads, chips, ice cream for dessert). My grandma for whatever reason requested HOMEMADE potato salad. My grandma was a saint and didn’t make outlandish requests often, if ever, so I did plan to accommodate her request.”
" Unfortunately life was ludicrously busybodied leading up to the date and ultimately I did n’t have the time / energy / supplies to make it . So instead of come clean , I decided to run to the grocery that had a nice deli and get their loaded adust Irish potato salad . It was a little bit more elaborate ingredients - wise than the standard Solanum tuberosum salad . I put it in one of our glass bowls with a lid and served it as my own . No one question it .
Grandma has since passed , but my family still request my homemade potato salad . I do n’t have the heart to secernate them it ’s store - buy . "

3.“I once convinced a teacher she lost my book report which was due in the final week of the school year. She gave me a B+ on it, which kept my A in the class and we all moved on. I was a good student, she liked me, she knew I was working on the report, and when she told me I hadn’t turned it in she trusted me when I said I had. The next day she told me she found it and had graded it.”
" At the end of the summer when I was convey quick for the next school class , I get hold the written report in the back of my binder . I had done it , and I likely would have gotten the grade she gave me , but I somehow misplace it and thought I had turned it in .
I was so torn on what to do . I felt like I should tell her , but I also feel like she ’d get in way more trouble than I would for just stool up that she found it . I kept my mouth shut and never told anyone .
I ’m 34 and I think about this all the damn time . "

8.“If my grandfather dies today (virtually knocking on wood), I will inherit all of his property and money. He showed me his last will with his attorney. I think my parents and uncles might k*ll me if they find out.”

9.“I once discovered that a close family friend, who everyone believed was a retired teacher, was actually in witness protection for testifying against a major crime syndicate. It blew my mind and completely changed how I viewed them and their ‘quiet’ life.”

12.“I am almost 40, but I still suffer from the mental damage the aftermath of my parents' divorce did to me when I was 15. My parents think I have my life under control, and after such a long time it would be a massive shock to them how much I still suffer, sometimes. They didn’t care much for me right after the divorce, but at some point, I feel the ‘statue of limitations; has run out so it would be weird if I ever brought it up or let it show.”

16.“I get all my work done in about six hours per week, and within a max of three ‘days’ at the office. I spend the rest of the time on my hobbies or catching up on movies, reading, home renovation projects, etc.”
" As long as I ’m seeing email and undertaking that come in and alternate on them like a dependable doer should , nobody cares . I ’ve had four - day weekends for class , on salary with full benefit , and mold 100 % alone , physically .
Under this agreement , my annual salary works out to roughly $ 104.00 an hour . I have n’t had any genuine oeuvre stress in over nine years and the companionship that pays us hump what I do and throws me kudos via bonuses quite often . I know how lucky I am to be in this situation .
If it come out in the syllabus , the others would be shocked for trusted . Then jealous , then pissed . "
