Before we get started:
SPOILERS. ALL THE SPOILERS.
You've been warned.
Reddit user, u/amoss_303, wanted to know how the ending was ruined for you when they asked:
What movie got ruined for you before you got to see it?
The Most Infamous Of All
The 6th Sense, some kid told me the ending in class while all the hype was still there
Right before my wife and I got married I found out that not only had she never seen it, but I quickly understood she had no knowledge of a twist whatsoever. My mind was blown, but at least I got to witness her genuine reaction when she put it together. This was 2015 by the way. No idea how she avoided it.
Thanks...Dad.
My dad came home from watching The Force Awakens and spoiled Han's death for me. Took me until after The Last Jedi was released on DVD for me to actually sit down and watch The Force Awakens, by which time my dad had a) forgotten that he spoiled that reveal for me, and b) forgotten that I still hadn't seen it.
So I've now watched Force Awakens with it being much less impactful and interesting, and haven't managed to work up the heart to continue with the next two. I'd been looking forward to the new movie coming out, but didn't feel like watching a movie that specific day Dad went to see it. Then he spoiled it and it's kinda ruined my interest in the entire series a little bit 😕
Never Trust Public Message Boards
Someone on the Smash 4 stage that allowed you to see public messages and pictures wrote Han Solo died in The Force Awakens...I was going to watch it that night.
...And Hopefully You Still Haven't?
A Quiet Place.
I was doing an education observation at my old high school and some geek in band class talked about the ending right there in front of me.
Until thay day I had never punched a kid.
Curse You, Franchises!
Star Trek II. I had known that Spock appeared in TNG so therefore his death at the end of TWOK wasn't as much of an emotional moment for me.
I can imagine it being one of the most shocking and sad moments when it came out however.
It Drains All Meaning From The Story
Gravity.
My mom brought it up, and even though I told her not to spoil anything REPEATEDLY that night she kept telling spoilers and why she thought the movie was bad. I've still never seen it, and even though I can't remember much of anything she said I just have no desire to watch it now. I could have loved it, hated it or just found it meh, but It just won't mean anything to me now.
You Have To Have Watched ALL The Movies Before Ever Watching The Simpsons
I still haven't seen it but Citizen Kane.
Thanks Matt Groening.
Check Your Copy, Netflix! Geez...
Most recently. Sergio.
I knew nothing about the original story.
The day I planned to watch it on Netflix I went on to see if it was there and then I noticed that there was another version of Sergio right beside it. I clicked on the other version. Turns out it was the documentary which in the tagline
Spoiler alert says that the dude dies in Iraq.
Fail Him, Sir! Fail That Man!
We were about to watch 12 Angry Men in english class and as the teacher is talking about it some guy says "he gets off!" and the teacher just scoffs at him for spoiling the ending for everybody lol
When The Trailer Gives It Away.
Not a movie, but the next season of Stranger Things. They answered the biggest question from the last season in the first few moments of the trailer and cut all suspense.
Don't Want To Say Get A New Husband, But...
Shutter Island.
I was watching with my husband and about half way through, he asked "Isn't this the one where Leonardo DiCaprio [insert twist ending]?"
Breaking The Key Rule Of The Movie
Fight Club.
On the plus side that movie is definitely fun on the second viewing (which was my first).
Whoever spoiled it for you didn't follow the first rule of Fight Club.
Spoiling It As IT HAPPENS
[Monty Python and the] Holy Grail
Spent two weeks camping with a kid who knew the whole goddamn script.
The very first time I watched it, my boyfriend's cousins joined in shortly after.
Think an assorted chorus of 15 or so voices announcing or reciting every single joke and gag 10s before it happened on screen.
A Legendary, Lost Reveal
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
I really wish I could've seen the Darth Vader reveal when it came out but alas, I was a decade too late...
My dad told me the whole plot to Star Wars right before we watched it together when I was little. Even at that age (7 or so) I was so pissed off that he spoiled the Darth Vader reveal. Like, he wanted to explain how shocking and impactful it was to see it in theaters but I could have just had that experience myself. Did the same thing with Sixth Sense. Whyyyy
Dad! Again??
Force Awakens. Some a--hole I knew texted me "Han solo dies" and I was pissed.
My dad and I went to one of the early Thursday screenings of that, so when we left there were hundreds of people lined up still for later screenings. My dad, being the excited Star Wars nerd he is and not at all intending to be malicious, loudly yells "I can't believe they killed Han Solo!"
The people around him were so, so mad.
*thinks about it for 6 seconds* Oh Yeah...
Free Willy.
The poster is the ending. Always thought that was weird.
Trailers?! Again!?
Cast Away.
I had seen a preview for it ... which showed the final outcome of this suspenseful movie. Why??
Seriously, Movies, What The Heck?
My dad spoiled the original Planet of the Apes just before I was about to watch it
I still can't believe the movie is spoiling itself with the Staue of Liberty Advertising. The whole point is that the characters arrive on an ALIEN planet, and then it's a literally last-second twist.
Awful Human
Infinity War got spoiled for me. I still went and saw it, but goddamn was I pissed about the Spiderman scene being spoiled.
Same! I saw a meme that spoiled it the NIGHT it came out.
What An Awful, Awful Human
Avengers Endgame
About to go watch the movie with my girlfriend who wanted Starbucks. Two baristas behind the counter. One of them was talking about how they don't want it spoiled for them while the other was talking about how great it was.
This b-tch proceeds to stop what she's doing with five customers in line, ignore her coworkers wish, and blabs to her exactly what happens in the movie including who dies.
I look back and there is a middle aged mother visibly frustrated and sad, not only that she can't get her pink drink fast enough, but because the one thing she had to look forward in the week was ruined.
Nope. Nevermind. This Is The Worst Person.
My Physics teacher had Avengers Endgame ruined by a student. They wrote 'Iron Man dies in Endgame' on the last question of their test 2 days before my teacher planned to see it.
"Did you do it?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
F on final for both terms, mandatory 20 hours after school suspension
"Everything."
It's Not What They Say, It's How They Say It.
Basically any movie that people sit and say "you havent seen it? Oh my god you gotta see it."
Maybe it hypes it up too much, or maybe Im just an a--hole and when they say i have to, I instantly decide I'm not gonna like it just because they say i should.
My brain is an idiot like that.
Do you have something to confess to George? Text "Secrets" or "" to +1 (310) 299-9390 to talk him about it.
Reddit user New-Low5765 asked:
"People who work in the airline industry, what are some of the craziest things you have seen?"
Don't Drink And Tow Aircraft
"Worked as ground crew. 2nd day on the job we were issued a notice to gather."
"So when you check in every morning you’re supposed to always take a breathalyzer test to prove you can like you know, ride around the tarmack, use pushbacks on planes, etc..."
"For whatever reason this dude hadn’t taken it/got past without taking it."
"He was not sober."
"He was tasked with pulling a 370 [aircraft] into a hangar."
"He eyeballed it for whatever reason."
"So here we are watching a video of this absolute loon break the whole wing off while damaging the hangar in the process."
"Because he was drunk, insurance doesn’t kick in."
"We were promptly told that Christmas bonuses might be a bit smaller."
~ ProbablyChe
Occupational Hazard
"Someone had the tip of their finger cut off when closing the door to the plane and didn't say anything until the flight landed at the arrival gate and when the door was opened the chunk of finger fell out."
"The staff then said, 'Oh yeah, that's my finger. you can throw it away'."
"I guess he just bandaged and wrapped his own hand."
"It was about 1/4 of his finger including the nail that was cut off. The cutoff portion wasn't particularly bloody and it was really pale."
~ If_I_remember
"A plane I got on once almost left without half of its aircrew on it."
~ BeerisAwesome01
"'Let’s just go, they can meet us there'."
~ InformativePenguin
"Plot twist. That included the pilots."
~ Windyandbreezy
Excess Baggage
"Coffin with dead body inside being left off the flight due to overload without notice either to us or the family and the family realising it by seeing it while the plane was leaving and screaming to us."
~ elenivog
employee of the month ups GIFGiphyNoped Out
"Saw the pilot walk into the passenger area and say 'I'm not flying this piece of sh*t' and get off the plane."
"All the passengers followed him."
~ Jaded-Session8422
"Hell yeah, I'm following the pilot off the plane if something like this happens!"
~ lukaron
Giphy"I had something similar happen, but never got on the plane."
"It was sitting there seemingly ready but they never started boarding."
"Eventually the pilots walk off the plane and a few of us heard them say ‘This junk isn’t going anywhere’."
"Flight ended up getting cancelled a short time later."
~ potatocross
"I was threatened with [pilots walking out] multiple times a week as an aircraft dispatcher."
"Auxiliary power units (APUs) run the air conditioning (AC) in the aircraft and they were always broken down and not fixed quickly, so when the pilots show up it is hot as hell inside and there's no ground crew to connect the external AC."
"So I would get a call from the Captain telling me he is not going to fly this piece of shit because it is too hot."
"Then they'd go on a tirade about how bad the company sucks because they don't do maintenance."
"I would agree with them completely."
Giphy"Then by the end of the call they'd say they will take it but the company sucks and needs to fix the APU."
"Occasionally the captain would refuse it, but then the ground crew would hook up the AC and they would always get back inside and fly it."
"For sure there were issues that popped up where the AC had an unsolvable issue and it would result in a cancelled flight."
~ Winchery
"I’m Dallas-Fort Worth based. No APU/AC in November? Meh, whatever."
"No APU/AC in August in Texas?"
"I’m not going on that airplane. Ground just can’t keep up."
~ poser765
☣️ Bio-Hazard ☣️
"Flight diverted to my airport because a girl in hotpants got uncontrollable diarrhea from the laxatives she took before the flight to help get over her weekend binge in Vegas."
"She sh*t in her seat and down the aisle and all over the bathroom."
"Five other passengers had uncontrollable vomiting because of this and the panic on the plane from the crew and rest of passengers caused the plane to make an emergency landing."
"They ended up having to cancel the remaining leg of the flight to decontaminate the plane."
"Police were sent and interviewed her and her friends and no charges were filed. I don't know if the airline put her on any kind of no-fly list or tried to have her pay for damages."
~ If_I_remember
GiphyHighly Unsuccessful
"There were two suitcases checked in that were full of nothing but weed."
"The police arrested him in the gating area & confiscated the bags."
~ Traditional_Pair4840
"Something similar happened when I was a ramp rat back in the 1960s."
"Law enforcement was going to do the arrest at his destination."
"The weed disappeared before they got there."
~ endadaroad
Stealthiest Catch
"As a baggage handler I once had a shipment of live Alaskan crabs escape their container on the ramp."
"Flights were delayed."
"Turns out those guys scatter when they panic and try to hide under anything and everything."
~ Gregwaaah
"My significant other worked doing maintenance checks on commercial planes."
"This explains why they once found a bunch of dead crabs under the floorboards in the cargo bay. It was a mysterious mystery."
~ Highly_Referential
Avoiding A Strip Search?
"A fully naked woman just walked through the terminal and tried to walk through security like she wasn’t fully naked."
~ Commercial-Chance561
"She was just very considerately trying to make it easier for TSA."
~ TrooperJohn
"They make you take off your shoes but they don't say that's all you can take off."
~ smartguy05
Language Barrier
"I witnessed this in the security screening of a large American airport."
"And to be fair, there was a language barrier as the passenger in question seemed to be speaking mainly French, and struggling to understand the TSA agent's instructions in English."
"Female passenger (tall, attractive, and sophisticated-looking) was wearing a business suit with a pencil skirt and matching jacket, which was buttoned closed, going through security."
"The TSA agent told her she had to remove the jacket. She ignored and tried to go through anyway."
"He stopped her and told her again more loudly (that's when everyone started noticing)."
"She said no. He insisted. She refused again, and tried to walk through."
Giphy"He got angry."
"She tried to explain something but it was unclear because her English was poor."
"It went back and forth."
"They both started getting angry and frustrated. It started holding up the line and other passengers were getting agitated."
"A few people tried to intervene and explain more calmly that she needed to put her jacket through the x-ray machine."
"Finally, near tears, she blurted out 'fine' and removed her jacket, revealing that she was wearing nothing at all underneath, and walked through the screening machine topless."

I'm a nervous flyer so it's not something I do often, but I still feel a little cheated that nothing this bizarre has happened while I was traveling.
Has something ever happened during your travels?
Share it in the comments.
A good friend is not always the one with whom you share laughs and fun experiences.
The friendships you want to keep include those who won't abandon you in a time of need or someone who supports you in a variety of complicated situations where not even a family member can be relied upon.
Unfortunately, many of us have experienced a time when a person's true colors revealed to us that the so-called "friend" we've always trusted wasn't one at all.
Curious to hear examples of this, Redditor Aesthetik_1 asked:
"What made you instantly realize This 'friend' is not a real friend?"
These Redditors didn't realized at the time that they were being used.
Recurring Favor
"When he only called me when he needed something. It didn't hit me until much later."
– Queasy-Location-9303
"I have one of those 'friends'. She always gushes about how we're friends but she never initiates contact unless she wants me to do something for her."
– StiffAssedBrit
The Errand Girl
"Several years back, I had a friend who introduced me to this new boy she was seeing. Maybe a year later, their relationship blew up in a fury of bs (whole other story), but by the time they split, I was equally friends with both of them. He and I were both photographers at the time, so the friendship was instantaneous."
"One day we started talking about her, neither positively nor in poor taste, just kind of in general."
"He then asked me 'when she texts to hang out, what does she usually want to do?'"
"I paused. I thought. Holy sh*t, she'd either be asking for a favour or for help with some kind of errand. I was her f'king errand girl."
"She texted me a month or two later, just a 'hey'. I never responded. She never texted again."
"I'm still friends with her ex, though. That dude is genuine as heck."
– ChamomileBrownies
Testing The Friendship
"When you decide to let them be the one to reach out. And you never hear from them again."
– plzdontgetmad
"Yup. Made plans with a friend three times, she cancelled each time. I finally told her to let me know when she was free, we haven’t hung out since."
"She was a good friend for the season, but not a lifetime."
– NoMrBond3
People were shocked to discover the moment they realized they didn't really know who their "friend" was anymore.
The Chaperon
"I had been giving rides to a girl I thought was my friend. To and from school in high school. She wasn’t really suppose to ride with other teens but due to her mothers work hours we could easily pull this off. I thought we were close."
"One day while on the way home my brakes went out. We were about 2 blocks from her gated neighborhood. I managed to roll in safely and parked at her house to call a tow truck."
"She flipped. Told me I couldn’t stay. She knew my brakes were not working as she had also been terrified when we couldn’t stop. She said she wanted to go to a movie that weekend with other friends and her mom would ground her if she saw me at the house. I offered to lie and say I only stopped there as my car malfunctioned on my way home. I had to pass her neighborhood on my way home anyways."
"She refused. Started to scream at me. She didn’t care what happened I had to go. Started to call the guard at the front gate to tell them I had broken in and was threatening her."
"I left her and that friendship that moment. I managed to roll my car slowly to a mechanic not too far away but never forgot the shi* feeling of knowing I could have been seriously hurt and she wouldn’t have cared. She wanted to see a movie. She had the nerve to sheepishly call and ask me a couple days later if I could give her a ride to school. Told her I was too busy and no longer had time… after all I wanted to help her obey her mom's rules. She rode the bus til she graduated."
– Duffarum
Unwilling Companion
"I had this friend in school. Each year there was a funfair in our city, all students received vouchers for a drink and something to eat. This friend complained the whole day that she had no one to accompany her to the funfair. So, stupid me offered to go with her."
"Once we arrived we met another friend of hers. And another, and another... until we were a group of 5 or 6 people. I didn't know anyone and was basically just walking behind them. This friend took me aside and said, 'My friends think you are annoying, and we would like you to leave.'"
"It was a pleasure to see that she failed her exams a year later."
– Auldale
There's the spirit of competition, but when it's taken seriously, we're no longer game for these friendships.
I Can Do It Better
"Constantly 'one ups' me. A real friend is happy for you."
– Complex-Half8338
"That one time I got a fake bag but she doesn’t know and then 2 weeks later messaged me that she also bought a luxury bag… Then when I got a bf, she also went to get a bf within 3 months which is TOTALLY fine but she constantly messages me for us to go on a double date. Anyways, sadly they didn’t last long :( I mentioned that I wanted to go to Cuba, she went ahead and bought herself a ticket to Cuba but I didn’t end up going lol"
– Hot-Coffee-8465
Never Steal The Spotlight
"When they loved the idea of me shining, but behind their shadow, I could never do or achieve anything above them, and when I did, they would get jealous."
– Jasssin23
"Yes! I recently ghosted a friend because of this kind of behavior. She was trying to compete about EVERYTHING. Like she bragged about how her mom’s car accident was more traumatic than my elderly MIL’s - which is not even an appropriate thing to compare. She would also try to 'outshine' celebrations of my milestones and was mean to several of my friends for no apparent reason. She was a loose cannon at best."
– thefifthtrilogy
All About Me
"ALL she talks about it herself and her problems. Granted she has a a lot but never asks about me or my life until she realizes she just bypassed my attempt to want to talk about something in my life bothering me and continued to talk about herself."
– PokemomOnTheGo
People can just be so rude.
"When I got really sick. Very few came to help."
– Tofflus1
"Same here. I got cancer and everyone I knew was over the top supportive for the first six months and then all but three of my friends just vanished. I saw one of them at a Halloween party while I was going through chemo and she told me that my bald head made people uncomfortable. I was dressed as Captain Picard, it was awesome and she ruined it."
– CatGoNoTail
Not Missing High School
"At lunch, she was sitting with her boyfriend, I was sitting with our friend circle. She came up to me, guilted me into sitting with her and her boyfriend, and then proceeded to ignore me for the rest of lunch."
"She didn't care about me, she just didn't want me talking to the friend circle that she had abandoned for her boyfriend. When I pointed this out to her, she called me a jealous b*tch."
"Ah, high school. How I don't miss thee."
– Symnestra
These examples actually served as a good reminder for me to take a moment and assess my friendships.
Not so much about how I've been treated but more about checking myself to see if I'm respecting the people I call my friends.
We've all been guilty of casually mentioning future plans to get together. I embarrassingly wait for people to initiate something, which is terrible.
Show up for your friends. Make them feel important like the individuals they are.
