I’m glad to FINALLY know this!
About 7 years ago, I was 22 and just married to someone I had known for about a year. Three months after we married, he joined the Army, and left for boot camp. Money was extremely tight, since he was making half of what he was before he joined. I was still working my day job, just barely scraping by. To make a little extra money, I worked as a “phone actress” a few nights a week. Yes, I talked dirty to many a horny man. Even though you can’t call it technically cheating, it still made me feel a little icky–but it was quick and easy money. Just 10 hours a week doing it made up for all the money that was missing. Absolutely no one I know knows about this.
Second secret, this (now ex) husband came home for Christmas. We had our best friends over (they were also a couple) for New Years Eve. The night was filled with the usual drunkeness, and everyone retired to bed a few minutes after midnight. The next morning, the ex & I decided to finally ring in the new year in our own special way–but this time, I asked for something a little different. He tied me to the bed, and blindfolded me (did I tell you I was naked?). He said, “I’ll be right back.” Next thing I know, I hear our friends saying, “Oh my god!” He decided it would have been cool to invite them in the bedroom (the ex sometimes thought life should be like *Penthouse Forum *(did I tell you I never ok’d this?). I thought I was gonna die. The only people who know about this are the people involved, and my current BF.
Oh, my dears, I have lots of secrets about others. I’ll tell some anonymously, but start with one about me:
No one I went to high school with knows I’m a lesbian. Thats why I severed all ties to anyone before college, including friends I had for 10 years. Although I have a real non-nonsense tough attitude, for some reason I couldn’t face people from my youth knowing. I don’t know why, and guess I don’t care to.
A male friend who recently was married doesn’t know that the reason his wife was fired from Walmart less than one month after their wedding is that she was performing blowjobs on fellow employees for $20 a pop, and was caught in the act by a customer who went through the wrong door looking for the bathroom.
Four guys in my office are having affairs. A fellow female employee thinks nobody knows she is browsing “first-time lesbian” and “bi-curious” personals on the web at lunch. Another ex female ex-employee left behind an email folder that had an easy to guess password (her first name backwards) that contained many stories she had written about herself, about how she wanted to be beaten, tortured, branded, snuffed, etc. all for sexual purposes. She also really really wanted to have sex with a dragon(?).
A guy who quit more than 5 years ago left a large Wordperfect file that was passworded, and when I cracked it it contained no less than 110 pages of his deepest, innermost thoughts (“I’m not good enough to live”, “I feel like today I could finally get the courage to end my life”, “my penis is too small to satisfy my wife”, etc.) I still have the file, it’s really extremely sad.
Another guy in the office is has been dialing out to his ISP through his modem line to bypass the firewall and download really hardcore porn. (piercing, animal, watersports, scat, etc.) I know this thanks to simple Windows drive sharing.
A girl a few rows over backed into another employees car, and laughed about how she got away with it. Her callous attitude inspired me to leave an anonymous note that got her confronted, and then sued.
I know someone who once anonymously e-mailed the salary of a real assholic tremendously-overpaid fellow employee to our entire section in the office. I felt really bad for him when he was so embarrased and harrased about it he quit, except 1) he was overpaid by about 50%, and 2) his new job paid about 25% more.
