    Text - edited 1 day ago 1 day ago magicbullets 28.9k points Hid under a bed while a real estate agent showed a couple around my flat. Couldn't be bothered to go out but can't stand small talk, so decided to lay low. I had a cup of tea, cushions, a Nokia with Snake on it. I was quite happy under there. They were 25 minutes late. I guess I was under the bed for just over an hour. I feared a sneeze. I was in my early twenties.

    Text in order to avoid a mandatory Christmas social for work, I legitimately took myself to the ER just to get the registration wristband (for proof that I actually went to the hospital) and then left. Wasn't sick or anything, and I didn't even see a doctor. I just needed a hospital wristband to prove that I had a reason not to go to the work mixer (so I wouldn't get fired) I hated my coworkers.

    Text I was getting a taxi back home and must've mumbled or garbled my destination because it was quite clear he was going to a completely different place. Like, literally as soon as he turned right out of the parking lot instead of left literally let the guy drive for 15 minutes in the wrong direction, eventually just blurting out "anywhere here will do" and giving him a tenner, and then just walking aimlessly until I found a public transport I recognized a

    Text I wear headphones all the time. Even if they're off/not plugged in. I'm so much more productive at work, people at the gym let me be, and people on the street leave me alone on my walk home Reply Share Report Save Give gold

    Text I'm not as shy and introverted as I used to be, but now I have moods where I do not even want to SEE a single person until the mood has passed. When I was living in dorms in college, I would stand in my closet or bathroom for hours just so I wouldn't have to see the people talking in my room. I ended up hearing a lot of conversations I shouldn't have heard because nobody ever knew I was there lol.

    Text Rather than associate with my nosy aunt when I lived with her, I told her I was going out for a while, moved my car up the street, and sat in it watching Netflix on my phone for a couple hours.

    Text Lived in a loft downtown on the 3rd Floor. The amount of times I used the stairs in effort to not being trapped on an elevator with a stranger is too many to count. One time there was a family moving in. I walked all the way around the building to the opposite side's entrance to get into the building. Then they were using the elevators, so I took the stairs, then they were ON MY FLOOR moving shit in. I didn't want it to look like I was trying this hard

    Text I once spent a weekend in a hotel because I just wanted to be alone and chill, reading books and watching TV. The people I lived with at the time couldn't spend more than an hour on there own with some sort of social interaction. The roomie I have now is like-minded and we can go days without talking/seeing each other and its great. Reply Share Report Save Give gold

    Text -I fegularly sometimes hide in the closet from my dog walker on days I can't be bothered to tell her I'm working from home. One time she brought her girlfriend over to show her my condo (why?!) and I was so afraid she was going to open the closet and go "And look at all this closet space!" and find me.

    Text The postman was knocking on my door, so rather than answer it, I decided to army-crawl passed the door (so he wouldn't see me through the frosted glass). Then he pushed open the letterbox, and saw me splayed across the floor. Reply Share Report Save Give gold

    Text In 7th grade I would hide in the science lab during lunch and recess time and feed and play with the school pets. I would ask to use the bathroom around ten minutes into lunch and then come back in the last 2 minutes, they probably thought I had some real bad bowel issues. They were two birds, a bunny, and two Guinea pigs. I would feed them carrots and talk to them. Nobody knew that I was there for half of the year, when one of my teachers finally wa

    Text This might get buried, but I was invited to the birthday party of an old high school friend who was part of the 'popular' crowd in those days. I knew it would be a big party full of super outgoing people that I didn't really want to interact with all at once. My solution? Join a music ensemble. Learn four different instruments, with rehearsal twice a week for four months because the concert date was the same as the party and that would give me a valid

    Text Ordered food to be delivered, but my housemates and their SO's were downstairs. I told the delivery person just to drop the food on the porch and I'd get it. I waited around 5 hours, starving and eating a bag of marshmallows in my room until everyone went to bed to fetch my food. Reply Share Report Save Give gold
