To ask you “no one will ever believe that happened” story?

This will probably rile up the troll hunters but Aibu to ask if you have a story that people are like “yeah, sure that happened!”

I’ll go first.

I was chatting to a guy on WhatsApp, we had met a few times and I was really into him. I was replying to a message to him and was sat on the toilet at the time. I dropped my phone and in the scramble of grabbing it before it fell on the (tiled) floor I had deleted the message I was typing and pressed the little microphone button next to the text box. So instead of sending him the flirty message asking for date number 3, I sent him a very panicked fart int he form of a voice note. I blocked him and never saw him again.

Oh dear, that's unlucky 😂

People never believe me when I tell them about a spider that was in my kitchen a couple of years ago. It was the middle of the night, DD was unwell so I'd gone downstairs to get medicine when I came across a spider bigger than my hand on the wall. I'm in the UK but this was a straight out of Australia spider. It was HUGE!
Unfortunately, DH was on nights and my phone was upstairs, so I have no evidence. I cried, sucked it up with the hoover and chucked the hoover outside.

Everyone says "yeah of course it was, you're over exaggerating" but it genuinely was bloody massive.

Why is everyone so fucking miserable on this forum. I just want some funny stories to cheer up after a horrible day.

I believe you. I went to walk out of my living room one morning and happened to glance at the wall. And froze for a good minute just looking at a fucking humungous hand sized spider. DH was sleeping and I just kind of slowly backed out of the room and went to work in the hope that it had buggered off far far away by the time I got home.

DH did not believe me when I told him.

I remember massive spiders when I was in Australia many years ago. Massive and harmless. It's the little ones that are the problem.

I equally remember huge chunky black house spiders in a holiday cottage in Wales a couple of years back. Had to put a pint glass over one to trap it, and it only just fitted!

Mines not funny.... more heart warming.

I was a nanny to a newborn pushing her pram in a park when a lady approached me, gave me a small book of Hebrew poems/prayers and said sleep with this and you will get your miracle baby.

After 3 years of infertility I fell pregnant that month.

people get irritated by made up stories you see

Softplayhooray · 01/09/2022 20:34

I have some truly crazy stories but one might out me, and also who knows if this is a Daily Fail journo so I'll just stick to reading other people's 😂

I absolutely believe you...a couple of years ago there was a spider in my eldest dc's room that a pint glass wouldn't fit over so I also had to hoover it up and leave the hoover outside all night! 🤮

When I met my partner I told him stories of my childhood and how I lived in a very very old cottage from early 1600s in a sea side fishing village. The village was very old and had a big smugglers history. Some of the smuggling tunnels still existed and I used to explore them as a child. I entered them though a secret passage in my basement. Very very dangerous. But very cool. My partner told me this year that he thought that was a lie when I told him all those years ago and I was taken aback. There was more to this story about the cottage but it would be too revealing. There were amazing parts of it's history that sound like they're from a wild story book. I didn't realise the story sounded so unbelievable. I read the famous five as a child so I didn't realise my experience was so unusual. I cried so hard when my parents sold that place.

😂 I like it. Even if it isn't true it made me laugh.

I’ve also had the exact same dream as an ex partner years before we met

Mammma91 · 01/09/2022 20:38

Don’t have anything to add. But I totally do get the spider ones! I seem to be getting spiders on steroids in my house!!! They are absolutely bloody massive. I was at home with 3 year old DS last week trying to get ready to leave the house first thing in the morning, he settled himself in the livingroom waiting for his breakfast when I wondered through with his toast and there was an monster spider on the wall staring back at me.

I had to phone my neighbour and her 10 year old son came to my rescue. Wtf is happening?!?!

dandyviolet · 01/09/2022 20:39

@Justanotherwinter what was the dream about?

Justanotherwinter · 01/09/2022 20:39

There’s a women I follow on Instagram that googled images of her dream man eg 6ft man, black, nice teeth etc, stuck the image of him on her vision board and ended up matching with him on tinder then marrying him

It is unfortunately true. It’s one of those moments I lie in bed thinking about years later and I want the ground to just open up still.

@Justanotherwinter her name is Francesca and her podcast is Law of Attraction Changed My Life, she ended up divorcing the guy but really cool story

Campervangirl · 01/09/2022 20:41

Ooh when I was a teenager I was in the garden with my mum and this huge flying thing like a dragonfly but bigger than a bird kept flying kind of dive bombing us, it kept swooping past, going away and coming back.
My mum said "no-one is going to believe this, try to catch it"
It flew off and never came back and my mum was right no-one believed us that this huge flying monster was dive bombing us.
About 10 years later I was telling my childhood friend who lived at the end of the street about it and she started screeching "I saw that, it was dive bombing us too so my mum hit it with a tennis racket and the cat ate it"
Vindication at last 😂
