48 Disturbing Things People Mentioned Casually Without Realizing How Bad It Sounded

Mom started dating an old friend from her younger years again and we were watching a movie that included a scene in a morgue. he then proceeded to tell us that in highschool his friend got a job at the local morgue and whenever they had a "chick" come in they'd use a light bulb to warm her lips.

Ethloc:

What a terrible day to have eyes and be able to read.

It’s such a problem in the industry that some funeral homes ONLY hire women for the prep work, now. Like…. It’s a known thing.

A woman I used to work with told me how when she was young she wanted to marry her boyfriend, but he didn't want to get married. They were like 19 or 20 I think. She decided she'd stop taking birth control and not tell him. She got pregnant and he married her for the baby. She said how he was grumpy all the time and she couldn't understand why. Then he was in an accident at the job she pushed him into getting and broke his spine and was a paraplegic in a wheelchair. And I remember her telling me this part verbatim: "Needless to say, nothing ever happened in the bedroom." So she divorced him. And she told the whole story like she was the victim, of course.

Aletheia-Nyx:

She is genuinely evil. Ruined her own life, forced someone else to ruin their life, forced a marriage on someone who didn't want it, forced them into a job that destroyed their body (because destroying hers wasn't enough? Idk) and then whined that her life was bad because…consequences of her own actions. Genuinely evil.

Working at a vet office… and the guy brings in his stud Great Dane… and casually slips in how he rents his dogs out for human pleasure.

Don’t worry, authorities were contacted bc it was on video w/ audio in the reception area.

"If (black manager) doesn't get it together, I'm going to go home and get my whip. I'm from the South so I know how to handle these uppity boys."

Both the guy who said it and the manager were late 40s, early 50s.

Just casually said out of nowhere to me just because we were both working on the same pallet of merch at Walmart. Like I hated that manager too but I hated him because he was the kind of guy who would throw you under the bus for $1 and he absolutely had screwed me over multiple times to make himself look good.

I was so lucky the idiot said it directly under one of the cameras that actually picked up sound, reported him as soon as I could.

I had a couple of coworkers just casually start talking about beating their wives when I was sitting right there. I mean I don’t even know these guys. It was awkward as hell. This wasn’t even the first time this happened to me! I’ve heard different guys say this. It’s disturbing how common domestic violence is.

My old boss casually mentioned stopping her birth control and taking fertility medication. She told me not to tell her husband because "he'll never be ready for a baby".

bonerslayer777:

My mom did this to my dad, that’s how I was born. She told me herself, so that’s how I know. He just thought I was accident until I told him a few years back.

Just-Bat5937:

My Ex went off birth control without my knowing until she confessed years later after our son was born, the when he was 8 yrs old she walked away stating she was young when we married and she wanted to find out what she missed out on, last contact she had with him was at 11 yrs old (her choice) and then told everyone I wouldn't let her see him.

Asked my dad to stop grabbing my behind when I walked by (I was 13) and he told me I was his property, he could do whatever he wanted, and I should be glad he didn't do anything worse.

CHICKINGNUGGER:

My Dad did too. I ran away from home at 16 and cut contact. Years later when I was 29, he showed up at my Grandmother's house unannounced, I was leaning against the breakfast bar. The minute he saw me he walked straight up and slapped me hard on the backside and told me that I still had a peach. I'm glad you got away and I hope you've healed.

Certain podcasters making out like the Epstein files don't matter as they were all rich.

A girl I worked with confessed to having a full blown affair with her biological father and didn't seem to understand what was wrong about it. It was like she was admitting to a guilty pleasure, just all giggles and bashfulness.

Jibbersup:

Well I wasn't expecting this.
I used to work as a carpenter and our small crew got subbed out to a bigger crew of workers on this commercial site. I'm up on some scaffold working on a concrete form and there's labourers below me. One of the old guys is talking about how hot his adult daughter is and he would totally bang her if he was able too. The guy he's talking to is agreeing with how how she is and they're laughing. Very casual conversation.

Dunno know if it’s the most disturbing but the first incident that comes to mind was when my life long friend so casually relayed the time when, at approx 8 yrs of age, his long term toxic father held him by the collar of his jumper while hanging him over his 16th floor balcony. He said he could feel the jumper slowly coming off and him dropping bit by bit.

It was only when my friend involuntarily urinated, defecated and almost passed out with fear that his father put him back on the balcony. He was, however, beaten senseless for being disgusting.

Solitary_Cicada:

There should be some short of test for people to take before having kids because what in the actual.

“Can’t wait until they invade whatever the kistan , this gas is getting expensive."

dad_farts:

This is actually pretty funny as long as I forget that oil extraction was used as justification for a direct-force regime change in Venezuela.

When I lived in Virginia, I once heard a young white man say ‘I don’t mind black people, I think everyone should own one’. As a Dutch person visiting the USA, I was completely stunned into silence.

My former friend casually said she supports conversion therapy.
FORMER friend.

A senior worker told me (a 16yo) that we (women) had to wear pants and not skirts, which were the companies uniforms for other restaurants. When I asked why, she shrugged and pointed to the manager of that restaurant. "Because he was caught putting his hand up a girls skirt".

KRushingIt19:

Well this was OBVIOUSLY the logical solution. The old 'change the world around the problem' hack.

My mom has been entering the stages of early onset Alzheimer's. She's never been so honest.


She told me that her grandfather was living with his daughter like they were married. 


I remember my great-grandfather living with a young girl when I was a kid. She always seemed scared and she always seemed sort of crazy. They scared me. 


Now I know that she was scared because she was being made to live like she was her father's wife. My great grandmother lived with my grandmother


 I was too little to understand anything about it. 


I don't know what to do with all of that. 


I keep wishing I'd understood what was going on so I could have done something to help her


For people say I made it up, my mom also asks me when did you get fat? Every time I see her. So I'm not making it up or I would make myself slim and gorgeous.

FrozenDiuri:

Kids aren’t responsible. Please please please, try to forgive yourself for not doing something, because that would have been impossible because you were a kid.
You didn’t fail her, everyone around you failed you both.

I worked at Petco for 6 months. One of my coworkers told me she liked to scare the hamsters for fun.

Btw I told management and they told me "that's just how she is". She was in charge of cleaning the hamster/guinea pig cages.

motherofbunniess:

As a Petco employee, the lack of management concern checks out. In fact management IS the problem in my store and the employees are the ones who try to do right by the animals.

I was dating a guy who just randomly told me he would beat his ex. Yeah I quickly ended that one and he was so sad. "But I just opened up to you?" You want me to feel bad for you that you beat your ex? Byeeeee.

SprinklesNearby3154:

The scary thing is that he could’ve done that to you too. i’m glad you recognised that what he said was the truth, didn’t make any excuses and left!

By a female cop: We had a foul-mouthed kid in a holding cell last week. He kept running his mouth about how he could beat all us up if he wanted to. Finally, we had enough. A group of us went in and beat him senseless until he was crying like a baby.

Important to note: This was a holding cell, not prison, he hadnt been convicted of anything. The *beating* they gave him was out of pure ego. He was confined to a cell and posed no threat to them. Lastly, she wasn't anyone i knew. I didn't even know her name or what police department she worked for. She apparently just thought it was ok to beat up a teenager for saying stupid & offensive things.

WhyYesIndeedIDo:

My dental hygienist told me a small town (midwest us) cop was in her chair last year and casually mentioned that they wished they could just [end] all liberals at the protests.

That all men are attracted to their daughters. I was talking to a conservative (I am very much the opposite). I said even if Trump was doing great things (he isn't), I would never morally be able to support him because has commented about being attracted to and wanting to date his daughter (this was long before all the other various disturbing things about him were widely known).

This man proceeded to tell me that ALL men attracted to and fall in love with their daughters. It is normal. It can't be helped. They are younger more beautiful versions of their wives.

Bardez:

There is an absolute chasm between appreciating and acknowledging the natural beauty of your daughters and... yeah.

Are some people so broken?

My house mate, talking about the time her mother swung a fire poker, and embedded it in the wall where her oldest son's head had been seconds before. Apparently the family tell the story like it's something funny. I didn't find it funny, nor does she now I explained why.
