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

[GingerAndLemonn]

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.

When I was 20 I went to see a clairvoyant, and she told me that I was going to have a military wedding, she was very specific about tiny details, and I just thought 'yeah ok'

Later that year I met a man who was in the army, after the wedding we moved away to army quarters and I found out loads of my old papers. All but 2 things that she told me were true, even his initials, a specific location and date.

I am convinced I saw a golden Eagle this week, are you in the North East of England?

When I was about 11 my mum asked me to post a letter for her. The post box was on our street and could be seen from the top of our drive if you looked in that direction. Walking there and back takes less than 5 minutes easily. I swear all I did was walk quickly to the post box and back again but when I got home my mum was beside herself that I had been gone around half an hour and had kept going to the end of the drive looking for me.

In my mind there is only one possible explanation………. ALIEN ABDUCTION!

@Chohlin654 I just replied to that post as well lol was it possibly this that you saw? He recently escaped from Warwick castle Link

My parents are both religious (baptists ) years ago I had a Derek Acorah autobiography at my house , my dad read it , didn't comment much just said it was "interesting" , (he didn't say as I'd have thought did you pay money for this crock of shit )

Dh and I went to see Derek Acorah in his live show , he said your loved ones will find a way to let you know they're around and it isn't scary.

Few years later , my Dad died and DH and I were at their house ( our DC were in our house ) I noticed on our motion detection camera a light orb. There was nothing to trigger the camera except this orb. It moved slowly , slight zigzag
This was the last night before my Dad was cremated .

I firmly believe it was him saying "Bye" before his body left

Someone got on the land train at Bridlington when I was on it with a guillemot tucked under their arm. They’d caught it on the beach thinking it was a penguin and were taking it to the zoo up the road. She’d even tied its beak up with a shoelace. I was silently howling with laughter. The poor bird was hissing like a cat!

I was pregnant and convinced I was having a boy, had only picked boy's names.

I was brushing my teeth and just had this mental image appear in my mind of a little girl in a bright pink dress; she toddled up to me and said something then ran off again.

I straight away knew her name, and told DH what we should call a girl.

I did have a girl, gave her that name, and when she was about 16 months old we went to a garden party. At one point she toddled over to me, and I realised she was wearing the exact dress I'd seen in my mind, and the entire scene was as it had been that day when I was pregnant.

Also, on the subject of spiders; I was feeding my son at about 3am when two huge house spiders appeared and started fighting on the carpet, rearing up at each other on their hind legs. One jumped about six inches up onto the wall to escape, and I swear I heard hissing. It was freaky as fuck. I don't think anyone believes me.

As a bored teen I used to make up mobile numbers to message to see if anyone replied. One of the made up numbers turned out to be our postman!! Out of all the mobile numbers in the UK I guessed our postmans 😂

Lived in a shared apartment. Went out with roommate and her boyfriend and a few others. Work up and boyfriend was next to me in the bed. (definitely didn't have sex!) Told him to get back to roomates room.

Next morning I found his watch on the floor. A rolex or something ridiculous. I threw it in the bin on my way to work. Didn't want to look guilty and cause a row ( even though nothing happened!!).

That evening, roomate says her boyfriend lost his watch, he was really devastated.

Argh

I have a spider one as well. I got bitten by a spider nearly ten years ago and the bite has never healed. This is a photo of what it currently looks like, still bleeds and oozes, swells up, scabs over, bursts open in a cycle. I’ve seen a dermatologist at the hospital who said they didn’t know what it was, I said it’s a spider bite, I saw the spider bite me! They looked at me like 🤨

Over thirty years ago I was waiting at the Chinese for my takeaway reading the daily newspaper, I read a short story about a seal being found on one of the lanes of a motorway (up north I think).

about a week later DH at the time said, “oh, been meaning to tell you I saw this strange thing on the motorway last week, I’m sure it was a seal”.

i said he was winding me up and he’d seen it in the newspaper but he was adamant he wasn’t, and he’d been working in that area.

(might not have been a seal, so long ago but it was big and grey). 🤣

I can name all US states. Just discovered I could do it one day aged about 14, have no memory of ever attempting to memorise them.

Are you southwest? They have reintroduced sea-eagles somewhere, my husband saw one and said it was absolutely ginormous.

I was once in a room full of filing cabinets full of small cards with people's names and details on. Some of them went back to the 19th century. There were hundreds of thousands of them.
I was bored so opened a drawer and picked a card at random. It was my name (which is rare) and the name of my very recent ex boyfriend (even rarer), e.g.
Cecily Drew (but not!).

Walking round the corner home to my house one night on way home from my parents in most boring suburbia. Was with my boys and my exH (was ex at the time too, he was there as special night for one of the boys), we were both a bit tiddly. Saw a large snake lying right in the middle of the road.

Ex and boys are saying it’s not real, I’m saying it is real and it’s cold, and the snake won’t move until it warms up and by then it will get run over so we have to help it. Ex is half way up the street by this point and the boys are backing off

So I pick up the snake and move it to the nearest front garden and then go home.

Next morning I can barely believe I did it but DS1 had taken a picture - the thing was massive!

Turned out it was an escaped pet who was subsequently recovered from the garden I put him in

I had a blackberry pearl back in the day and the scroll knob was so rubbish. Anywho I took a picture of my fanny to send to my boyfriend (an ex now) and his name started with DA but the stupid scroll ball stuck so I thought I selected him but instead I selected a male friend starting with CR. He got the pic instead.
Luckily I didn't see him for ages so but he bought it up and I nearly died 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

I press enter way too quickly on these things.
(Follow on) no one believed me and thought I sent it to CR on purpose which I would never do

When I was in Aldi just before Xmas last year I saw a large fat bloke with a white beard (I'm honestly not making this up!) he had a red bobble hat and (inexplicably) a dry robe 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was sneaking a few looks at him chuckling at the thought of Santa buying his Xmas pud. I went to turn a corner and looked back and he was gone. I mean completely gone. I looked round the adjacent aisles and couldn't see him.

I mean he's probably just an overly agile fat guy who legged it when some weirdo kept staring at him tbh but I genuinely couldn't work out where he'd gone!

Magic dust. Must be.

A friend of mine died before I went away to college. First day living away from home I saw the friend walking along on the other side of the road. Same clothes, hair etc. I couldn't believe it. I went to cross over to talk to him but a lorry passed by, he was hidden from view for a split second and then he was gone. It seemed so real at the time.

The day the dogs chased a roe deer into the kitchen was a wild one. I honestly think people didn't believe a word of it. We live rurally and often see them out walking, but the dogs found it in the garden (we've got 6 feet fence everywhere) and decided it would be fair game to chase. It must have cut a leg at some point as there was blood everywhere, I was screaming to DH upstairs to come and help.... and he came down to see this deer running round the ground floor trying to jump out of windows while I was trying to boot the dogs back outside. The mess was horrendous, and luckily he had the presence of mind to fling the front door open and the deer went leaping off up the road.

Did they biopsy it? It may have started as a spider bite but developed into a localised skin cancer (not the life threatening type but a squamous or basil cell carcinoma.)

We’ve got his cousin living in our garage, it’s massive. It scuttles away under the fire extinguisher when he hears us come in.

And journalists touting for stories.

And yet, people still share 🙄 🤷‍♀️

I’ll stop journalists in their tracks with this one:
No one in the NHS believes I was touched up by a consultant in our local hospital.
I was.
Probably didn’t help that he has a husband.
It could only happen to me (I hope!)

There is a plantasia place by our local ci email which is home to monkeys and other small animals. When leaving the cinema one evening I saw what looked like a monkey running between cars on his back legs. No one believed me. I looked for it for ages and even messaged the plantasia who said all monkeys were present and maybe it was a large seagull...they must have thought I was bonkers but I definitely saw it
