I'd let my female co-workers know. He could be dangerous to them.

This happened to us at work by the IT guy. When they’re clever (and foul) enough they can do anything

Always like hearing about people who've had, erm, 'encounters' with celebrities. Probably wouldn't be that exciting in real life, though.

Other than the one mentioned upthread, its about a good story if anything 🤭

I used to be friends with someone who outed her then boyfriend to everyone she knew, to humiliate him without him knowing. She stayed with him and eventually married him,it was for show. She has re written history and gaslights the few remaining people she hasn’t fallen out with who know the truth.

Outed him in that he was gay?

MyHonestBiscuit · 21/08/2025 19:19

Told everyone he was a gimp and into transvestites.

Approximately 20 years ago I slept with a famous boy band member, he chatted me up online and we met up & started seeing each other. He introduced me to the other band members and initially he seemed lovely and we eventually slept together (sadly had a ‘petite saucisson’ 🤣). He then said he wanted to have sex where there was a good chance other people could watch, kept going on about my body & sex and also sent me a video of him masturbating which all gave me the ick. And worst of all I read in a national newspaper that the whole time we’d been seeing each other he was engaged to someone else! I don’t think he’s capable of being faithful to anyone judging by his dating history. Glad I didn’t get seriously involved with him 🤢

Toplyy · 21/08/2025 21:31

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

Toplyy · 21/08/2025 21:33

Anyone had a positive relationship with a celeb?

ImGoingUpstairsToTakeOffMyHat · 22/08/2025 01:05

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.

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

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.

Free holidays? Student loan paid off? It's a great price for a small vice...

A great price for a small vice! When I open a brothel, that's going to be my motto, kind of like 'every little helps'

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

So I just need to find an executive who's into chubby fortysomethings... I'll have to abandon the big Aldi, and give Waitrose a go.

Her probation period was not extended. Shame.

See she was taking a risk anyway, but to do so whilst on probation! 😭😭

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.

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.

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..
