Most of these are about relationships and families but mine is about work. I cannot say this in real life as I’d be sacked probably.

My council is one of those taken over recently by Reform and the way that stuff are being treated by these new councillors is just awful - you cannot complain because there’s nowhere to go to complain.

I wish someone would whistleblow to the national papers, they all love to give Farage airtime but don’t report any of this.

Report to the press, even if you have to do it anonymously. It's cumulative - if enough people report them, the press will investigate. Eventually, someone will be willing to talk in private

My neighbour gossips and gossips
She never stops

She would always slag off other families saying how shit their parenting is
How great she is

Blah blah
Well growing up she screamed at her lovely kids
Always shouted at her husband
Now none of them want anything to do with her

She thinks no one knows about the screaming but we used to hear it from our house down the road

I have never said it to anyone as I worried about her being alone (kind of think Fck it now to deserve it )

Aghhhhhhh that felt good

My DH ex girlfriend (who he has children with) moved some cocklodger in and my stepchildren kept on saying how horrible he was. I brushed it off as the kids just having loyalty to their dad as they are very close to my DH and myself UNTIL one day I popped by to drop a surprise off for the kids and while I knocked on the front door I could hear him screaming calling the kids ungrateful cunts and then opened the door all smiles to me. I was so damn angry but kept my cool.

I made a plan with one of my friends to take her car down to his car garage and flirt with him and try and get him to go on a date with her. She did. The dirty abusive “man” was happy to cheat on the woman who was letting him live in her house for free and treating my step children like crap. My friend took video recordings and pictures of their date and sent them to my DH Ex. Needless to say she was heartbroken but she did kick his butt to the curb and the kids are so much happier that he has gone

edit for spelling and to add the ex has no idea it was a set up

Edited

Oh my word!!!!!!!!

One of the senior managers has a private business & often takes on last minute contracts during work hours. The rest of the SLT are unaware & think they're doing their regular job. The senior manager will cancel meetings at the last minute if a private job comes up. As we all work remotely the SLT can't track & haven't noticed the moonlighting manager.

I also know someone who’s very posh, curvy girlfriend is a high end ‘specialist’ escort - dominatrix. Gets paid a small fortune to walk up and down the backs of judges and the like in heels… swears she doesn’t have sex with the clients. She’s posh enough to go to dinner or events before locking them up in women’s pants in a wardrobe, spanking them or whatever…
She’s an artist who doesn’t want a normal job, wants to earn shedload of cash but comes from money ( think private school, Oxbridge, daddy’s in finance etc) and I’ve always found it weird that this is what she does when her parents would bankroll her…

Friends - a couple - go to sex parties and sex clubs so that he can watch his DW having sex with multiple
partners. She’s bi and enjoys people watching her. They also have an arrangement where she occasionally get paid - a token amount as it’s all about the ‘kink’ of being a ‘sexworker’.
Each to their own but I can’t imagine the looks they’d get at the school gates if it came out.

Honestly I’ve seen it all with the cheek of some people who WFH. I work really hard and so do most of our staff but it’s SO obvious when people are just napping or at the cinema.

Cant you blow the whistle? I don't expect you can afford to risk your job though.

Everything country wise seems to be a shit show at the minute..

I work for an organisation where we all WFH.

A new member of staff never seemed to respond quickly or meet deadlines. I was very suspicious especially when I noticed the time on her Teams was several hours behind me. She also kept forgetting meetings or having lots of appointments

One week was especially bad. I called her on the fly with some random excuse to cat to her. She’d clearly just got out of bed and had a new background like she was in a hotel.

So I basically cyber stalked her, checked her social media and googled her name plus a very unique hobby she has and found out she was in Canada partaking in a competition for that hobby, and making out that she was at home and working.

I'd be tempted to play the devil & send anonymous typed notes to the boss & his OW advising them both to get STD tests. Let them both think that they're both being cheated on. The married boss is already cheating on his wife so it's not too unbelievable that he'd cheat on his OW.

NC for this

one is a secret rather than gossip. Me and two of my best friends all slept with the same well off man years ago (when we were young and beautiful), mostly as a foursome (although occasionally separately). For money basically 🤣although we all had good professional jobs 🤣
but he was buying us lavish gifts (think Prada bags), taking us on holidays or shopping, giving us spending money and paying one off huge expenses like my degree or my friend’s house renovation. He was also married and had more other women on the side. And he was actually a nice man, not an asshole, it was just a normal thing among rich men in his circle

no one but us three knows.
this went on for a few years long time ago, now all three of us are married and not in touch with him

My top boss has been shagging someone who isn’t his wife for years and years
I only found out by chance through a friend of a friend
he is literally in charge of my career so I cannot tell anyone

Anyone had a positive relationship with a celeb?

He can't help being poorly endowed...no excuse for being a perve, though.
