It's really immature for a divorced parent to try and drive a wedge between their child and their ex. Children of divorce already experience enough turmoil, they shouldn't have to be forced to choose sides. The ex is a co-parent to your child and you should not try to compete for your child's love with them. Hell, your kid will probably try to turn the competition in her favor by encouraging you and your ex to bribe her with gifts and privileges (which is exactly what the Spoiled Brat is doing)! I hope that Imaginary Dad will read these tips for divorcing parents.

Coworker: “I’m sorry, ma’am. Unfortunately that’s due to the supplier and—”

Customer: “If they die I’m blaming you!”

Coworker: “You would certainly be able to find some at [Other Pet Store, not too far away].”

Customer: “I don’t want to go to f****** [Other Pet Store]! I’m going to sue you!” *throws her empty container at my coworker, then storms out*

Coworker: “Well. First customer of the day. It’s gonna be a good one…”

It didn't work out, but that's OK. You both had a rational discussion and decided to part on good terms. In fact you're still besties and call each other every night. It's a good thing your current partners are such good people and support your friendship.

When the sub started it wasn't even massive gently caress ups. It was just Today I hosed Up. Basically, someone made a mistake or social gaffe and suffered mostly minor consequences. There were a lot of stories that ended with "My girlfriend/wife/family/boss is mad at me now". Every now and then there'd be a break-up or getting fired. They were mostly short believable "I need to get this off my chest".

As it got more popular, the stories got more titillating since they got more views. Over time it turned into STDH: Reddit. It's been that way for years now.

The Goatfather posted:

I was drinking with a buddy of mine at this dive bar on the other side of the city in a bad part of town and a couple of the regulars kept talking about the “sex maze” next door. I had never heard of anything like that before- so I asked. Apparently next door was this gay cruising club that took the form of a big maze. Even weirder: The club paid guys to dress up as a “sex minotaurs” and chase dudes around the maze. They kept joking that if you got caught you had to suck the minotaur's dick. When I heard all this my jaw dropped, it was the most insane thing I've ever heard and I am into some weird sex poo poo.

We kept joking about it over the course of the night and the riffing eventually turned into talking about going in there. Once we got sufficiently drunk, it was decided. We went in. The lobby was really nondescript, but had a drab and kind of sinister quality to it. It looked like the waiting room for a doctor's office except there were no magazines and it looked it hadn't been cleaned in ages. There were even dim florescent lights overhead. There was a guy behind bulletproof glass to the side and straight ahead was a normal looking door with an electronic lock that we guessed was the entrance.

We stumbled up to the counter and asked the guy how much to get in. He said because it was our first time it was free, but we had to sign some forms first. We were shocked that it was free, but also kind of happy that we didn't have to pay to get in since we were just doing this for the story. The forms looked like typical “don't sue us” bullshit and we signed pretty quickly. I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed those forms.

The guy wasn't enthused with two giddy drunk straight guys trying to get into his “SECRET GAY MAZE.” He didn't seem annoyed exactly... just vacant. It was weird.

When we finished signing he took the forms, looked them over and hit a button and we heard the door lock unclick. We took his silence as consent to go in.

The first thing we noticed was how dark it was. It wasn't pitch black, but the only lighting was by way of a streak of glow in the dark red smears along the walls of the maze. The second thing we noticed was the screaming. It was loud, terrifying, and it never stopped. We immediately tried to go back but the door was locked. Then we heard the wail of the minotaur. It was a beastly thing. Definitely not something that could be made by a human being. What had previously been a joke was now very real and terrifying. Whatever we were involved with was more hosed up than we had imaged. We decided we needed to find a way out of the maze and fast. Every minute or so we heard the minotaur's cries getting closer. We kept running until we hit a dead end.

We felt the minotaur before we heard him. We saw the dim outline of a huge, muscular naked man with the head of a bull as he approached us. We were scared out of our minds. He got close enough that we felt and heard his heavy animal breathing. We were able to make out that the bull head was just a cartoonish mask, which was even scarier. The only thing he had to do was make a gesture and we knew exactly what he wanted. We were going to have to suck his dick.

And we did. It was terrifying. The screaming never stopped. When we finished he just grunted and walked away. We eventually found our way out of the maze and immediately called the cops. It turned out that the entire experience was planned out from the beginning and we agreed to it when we signed the forms. It's a way for super kinky gay men to pay for some kind of horrific sexual experience. The part where we sucked his dick was actually supposed to be the “climax” of the experience.

It was traumatic for a while but we eventually decided it wasn't as big of a deal as we thought. We were looking for a story after all, it just turned out to be way crazier than we thought.

If "stupid gimmicky anonymous sex act" is what this dude finds "insane" then he's totally not into weird sex poo poo.

Unless he thinks that they somehow believe in the minotaur angle and that's what's getting people off, instead of just being window dressing for a free beej????????

That sounds loving awesome. If there were a lady version of it where you get chased around a maze by hot babes dressed as minotaurs and if you get caught you have to eat her out, I'd be all up for that.

I do like all these "Okay we're really really straight but we're going to do this really gay thing JUST FOR THE STORY, we're not ACTUALLY doing this to suck a guy's dick or anything, because we're not ACTUALLY gay, it's just so we can tell all our cool STRAIGHT friends about the crazy poo poo we did because we're ACTUALLY STRAIGHT and NOT GAY" stories.

That reminds me of the story, I think it might have been non-joke greentext, where the guy said more or less: "So one time I went to Thailand to visit friends and I was like okay whatever so of course just to get a bit of the culture I went into this giant brothel and before you know it WHOOPS I was paying money to have sex with three preteen children." He was trying to make it sound like the most natural thing in the world and of course he didn't enjoy it, but he'd already paid upfront so, yknow...gotta get your money's worth.

It was one of the more disgusting things I've read. Might have been in the dearly departed AUG thread, I don't remember.
