Event - My buddies girlfriend broke up with him, so I decided to take him fishing just to get away from her. We were fishing off the pier and weren't catching anything. He told me to hold onto his fishing pole while he went to the bathroom, and while he was gone, he caught a fish. It was bigger than anything I'd ever caught. I knew I had a few minutes before he came back, and before I knew it, I was taking it off his hook and putting it on mine. When I saw him coming back, I started jerking the pole like I hooked it, and brought it in. What made it worse was he was totally happy for me.
Apology - I failed so bad! I started off doing something good for my bud. Then I stole his fish! It might have made his day. I was a pretty bad friend, but I think I've made it up to him since. I introduced him to this really nice girl who he's now dating. Forgiven?
Event - I read another story on here and it totally reminded me of something I did. It was a high school graduation party at a friends house and I drank too much and fell in the bathroom. I hit my nose and got a nosebleed. I don't know why, but I grabbed the towel on the wall and used that to stop the bleeding. And there was a lot! When I was done, I panicked and just turned the towel around and hung it back up. Nasty!
Event - I remember when I was about 15 I had a tennis lesson - and one day I just decided not to go. I think my friends were going to the mall and I wanted to go. So I went with them and blew the lesson off. I didn't call the coach and tell her. When I got home, my dad was there. "Did you go to your lesson?" I was like, "Sure - good lesson." At that moment the phone rang. My dad answered and it was my coach. "Where was Marc today." Doh! My dad was pissed and sent me to my room. Okay - I screwed up. But my second layer of guilt came when I decided to try and manipulate him by writing an apology note. So I wrote this long note about being irresponsible and how sorry I was. And I went to the faucet and let a few drops of water fall onto the note - fake tears : ) It worked like a charm - no punishment.
Apology - First off, I'm sorry I lied. I knew better, and I should have just gone to the lesson, or told him I blew it off. Second, the manipulation thing was just one in a long line of manipulations I've pulled off over the years. I think it's just an instinct of mine, but I'm getting better. At least I'm trying!
Event - I have a married friend who made a sex video with a different girlfriend before he got married. He didn't want to trash it or keep it in his house where his wife could find it. So he gave it to me to hang onto till he figured it out. No, I never watched it. Then me and him got in a big fight because I think he stole some thing from me. So I sent the video to his wife at her work. chicken s**t I know. I did it before I calmed down. So she got it and I hear they are no longer living together. He hasn't called me or anything, so I don't know what's up.
Apology - I really don't know what to say except Im sorry. I know I f**ked up. I still think he stole some thing from me though, so he was kind of asking for it. But if I broke up the marraige, that would be pretty bad.
Event - It was the 9th grade and all the kids were getting class rings. They were ugly things that no one would ever wear. I didn't order one. But there was this guy I hated that did. And every day at lunch we'd all hang out by the handball courts and shoot the s**t. And everyone had their new rings to bring home. He had his in a bag because it didn't fit right. He turned around for like 10 seconds and I tossed the bag into the trash. As I was walking away I could hear him cursing things like "where the hell is it"! It took me about 2 seconds to feel really bad. But I kept on walking. I figured I'd come back after school and dig it out, then get it back to him somehow. But I searched through the whole can and found no ring.
Apology - Maybe he found it. I don't know. But I felt so bad about it that I didn't even go to school the next day. It was the end of the year anyway. And no one wears those things, right? Trust me that I felt really bad about it.
