Things People Secretly Love But Would Never Admit To In Public
Reddit user sweet_chick283 asked: 'What do you secretly love that you would never admit to in public?;
What makes us all unique is our passions and the things we love, whether it's singing in the shower, reading books, or listening to specific music artists.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where we are judged for our various tastes and interests thanks to social media, and it makes us consciously selective about sharing the things we love on the internet.
Curious to hear about people's personal desires under anonymity, Redditor sweet_chick283 asked:
"What do you secretly love that you would never admit to in public?"

Why should some of the hidden desires mentioned above have to be secret?
Redditors opening up about some of these would make them a hit at parties–no shaming.
As a matter of fact, I'll totally be down for a Forensic Files viewing party where we all make hot chocolate, light the fireplace, and cozy up together in our respective pink ugly nightgowns for old ladies.
Who hasn't found themselves screwed over by a loophole at one point or another?
Such as getting a gift card to a restaurant, only to discover it doesn't apply to alcohol, can't be used for dinner, and can only be used during the week.
Or, on a more serious note, discovering that maternity and paternity leave counts as vacation days, forcing you to go back to work when you're not ready, and precluding any potential vacation plans.
Of course, loopholes can work to our advantage as well.
That is, as long as no one finds out.
"What loophole did you exploit for years before someone found out?"
Key To The Kingdom
"I was really good friends with my building superintendent, super, at a job I have since left."
"He was also the super for several other buildings in downtown."

"He said 'Phys you have been such a great friend I wanted to give you my key to the kingdom'."
"'It should save you a lot of money because it works in every city owned parking garage in downtown'."
"I left that job in 2012 and to this day the card still works at over 12 parking garages in downtown."
"Go see a concert or sporting event?"
"Swipe the card for the O-rena, no longer the official name, garage."
"Need to park at the courthouse or city hall garage, swipe the card."
"Want to go see a movie or go to a club or park?"
"Swipe swipe swipe, free parking day or night."

la GIFGiphySupermarket Sweep
"Growing up I worked at a chain grocery store."
"They had a policy in place that if an item price label didn’t match the scanned price in the computer, the first item was free and any subsequent items would be for whichever price was lower."
"Every few months an elderly woman would come in and spend 4-5 hours shopping."
"When she would come up to the register, she would have a full cart and near everything would be free."
"I had to ring her out a handful of times and only caught a few items overall that she was wrong on."
"At one point, she found a comforter BBB mislabeled and got it for free, $40-50 sticker price."
"More than once the store manager would watch her on the store cameras to ensure she wasn’t switching the stickers but never saw her do anything sneaky, just very calmly looking over every item shelved one at a time."
"Eventually the policy changed and she stopped coming in at all."- DrunkPhoenix26
Daddy Needs A Free Burger!!
"There is an app for a local burger chain where it allows you to 'roll the dice' to get a code for a free double-patty burger upgrade."
"It was designed so you could only try it once per day and it even shows the date of the roll on the code so the cashier could verify it."
"However, I found out that you can just change the date on your phone and try again immediately."
"If you got nothing, change it again and just keep going until you get the code."
"Then, when you got the code, you change the date back to current date and the app updates the code so it looks like you rolled it today."
"I got free burger upgrades for years until they finally got rid of the feature all together."
"I don't know if anyone ever figured out this exploit, they removed it for other reasons."- SpookyPlankton
happy homer simpson GIFGiphyOkay Then.
'My friend used to restock condom machines in pubs and collect the money from them."
"The machines would always break and get jammed all the time but because it was condoms no one would ever tell someone that the machine ate their money. "
"He would just count how many condoms were gone and give that amount of money to the company and pocket the rest."
"He moved onto another job."
"Apparently the next person that did it collected all the money correctly and threw all their figures out."- thebollard
Dedicated Fan
"Years ago I was a season ticket holder for an awful NBA team."
"My tickets came electronically via PDF."
"I had OK seats in the upper part of the lower bowl, but nothing great."
"Anyway, on nights where I knew it would be empty, which was most nights unless a superstar like Kobe or LeBron was in town, I would use the full version of Adobe Acrobat to edit the PDF's to indicate a much better seat location than mine. "
"The bar code still scanned just fine because I didn't mess with it, but when the usher took my print out all he saw was that I was sitting on the floor."

Evaluate The Menu Carefully...
"Spoons old menu."
"if you ordered 2 sides of 'half rack of ribs' and a portion of chips."
"It would work out cheaper than if you ordered the ribs meal."
"You gotta sacrifice the 2 or 3 of onion rings you get with the meal."
"But the instead of a dash of chips you'd get a whole basket."
"And it was a couple quid cheaper."- Shad666
Labor Day Cooking GIF by MunchiesGiphyTaking Collect Calls To A Whole New Level...

"Went there all the time and called home when I knew no one was there to answer."-Reddit
No system is 100% foolproof, leaving the possibility for someone to cheat the system wide open.
But let's be honest, if you could cheat your way into having a free burger every day, could you really resist?
Teachers are often regarded as heroes.
Though they might not possess superpowers, or put their lives in danger on an ongoing basis, teachers have a way of influencing the lives of others in ways they can never imagine.
Of course, there are teachers who do literally save lives.
As they are the teachers who help students who are being abused at home out of toxic and dangerous situations.
Doing so without ever being explicitly told, but rather by noticing their students behavior, or reading between the lines in their work.
"Teachers of reddit, what are some signs that a student is being abused or lives in a toxic environment?"
Flinching At The Slightest Moment
"It's been a few years, but I had an incident/situation that stuck with me."
"My students were working on something, probably solving density equations, and one guy came up to ask for help."
"I was standing near my whiteboard but had left my favorite Expo marker on the cart that held my projector/laptop."
"So I reached around him to grab the marker and show him on the board how to figure out the problem."
"Hey, if one kid is struggling with a problem, there's usually several more that haven't asked."
"Anyway, when I reached, he flinched."
"Hard."
"Arms over his head."
"Eyes tight shut."
"As if he just knew I was going to hurt him."
"I kept him after class and we talked."
"Lots of tears, not just his."
"He showed me bruises on his back."
"I notified my principal that I'd need someone to cover my next class, and called DCS, what most states call CPS."
"He was placed in a foster home and his father was arrested."
"He missed a few days and came back."
"He wasn't instantly better, which would make for a better story, but by the end of the school year, I could see he was a little more confident, a little happier."
"This was around 10 years ago. I often wonder what happened to him."- AZScienceTeacher
Not So Subtle "Ticks"
"I developed a 'tick'."
"For years, I would rip out all my eyebrows and eyelashes."
"Half the time I didn’t realize that I was doing it, because I lived with my abuser and was so stressed out and terrified ALL the time."
"When I was 17, I finally moved in with a friend to get away from them, and people started telling me they 'knew all along' that something was wrong, but no one ever said anything."
"No one ever took action, even when I tried to come forward on multiple occasions."
"I’m begging you guys- if you see something, say something."- aliveanewbeginagain
Telltale Signs
"From my experience teaching middle schoolers for the last decade."
"They smell, particularly of cigarette smoke, weed, or just general, unbearable, BO."
"They either NEVER miss a day, when it’s clear they should because they’re obviously sick, or they miss school at least 2 times a week, because their parents can’t be bothered to get them there."
"They either avoid adults like the plague, will literally run away from any authority figure, or are very clingy to adults."
"And on the more extreme end are things like wetting themselves, sign of sexual abuse, and showing a severe lack of empathy."- coreythebuckeye
Knowing And Saying Things Children Shouldn't...
"Physical abuse think of kids who get normal bumps and scrapes."
"Then think of areas that would be difficult."
"Inner arms and legs, torso, back etc."
"Also if you ask a child 'oh how did you get that bruise, it looks sore' usually they'll tell you some huge story about how they were playing some game with their siblings, and they tried to do x and then fell and did this etc."
"Abused children will try to shut down the conversation."
"Say its not sore, doesn't hurt, not that bad, was an accident."
"You won't find out how it happened."
"Are they regressing in toileting, night time or day time wetting etc."
"Do they have an aversion to a place, person or certain day."
"Perhaps on Tuesdays they go to a friends house so they only display this behavior sometimes."
"As parents do they suddenly hate a place they used to love."
"Abusers will try to get children to trust them."
"To want to be praised by them."
"Sometimes that's a 'you're so mature for your age shall we go do x together that's your favourite right' now x is tarnished."
"As a parent you're wondering why they don't want to do this with you."
"Sleeping patterns may change."
"Especially if they don't feel safe at all times when they should have a place they can relax."
"Children may become hypersexualised."
"Know more than you'd expect for their age."
"Children can become very controlling of their bodies."
"Not wanting touched, assisted with changing, to wear certain clothes."
"Please early on ensure children know boundaries and if someone touches them or asks them to watch an area usually covered by underwear to tell a trusted adult."
"Not all abuse is a child being physically touched."
"Not all abuse is done by adults, it can be older children and teenagers."
"I've worked in nurseries, after school clubs, schools, summer camps, I've been a sports coach, a babysitter, a private tutor, a teaching assistant in schools."
"I've spent days with social work and police and now work in healthcare."
"You'll spot signs everywhere."
"You may be a member of the public walking in a store and see something that worries you."
"As many people are saying in the comments you might be the trusted friend hearing about a child in potential risk."
"Know how to report concerns, who you tell and how you escalate something."
"Know how to listen to a child without prompting and how to record the conversation on paper incase your statement is used to build a case."
"Also know reporting concerns doesn't mean someone will immediately be arrested on your thoughts."
"A case has to be investigated, social work/ child protective services and police will conduct joint investigations to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed."- koig1314
Heightened Stakes
"If a student doesn't care about content and doesn't seem happy about getting a good grade, just relieved."
"I've seen students almost breakdown when earning a poor grade on an assessment knowing the pending verbal/psychological abuse coming."
"One student, living with his father and 6 hours from his mother, was sworn at and told he wouldn't see his mother for Christmas because he had a C."
"The kid cried in my classroom after school and poured his heart out about not having seen his mom for 3 months."
"Berating a child and withholding seeing his other parent for a grade?"
"High expectations are great."
"High expectations without support, however, in this case, emotional. put undue stress on students, resulting in a cycle of anxiety that can permeate their lives."- chewbaccalaureate

Love it or hate it, it's hard to avoid eating at McDonald's or other fast food chains every now and then.
Those who tend to avoid it also tend to simply not have a taste for the greasy, deep-fried, not particularly healthy items on the menu.
Some even wonder if the greasy, high-calorie food is even less healthy than people think, wondering what exactly goes in the burger patties and the chicken nuggets.
A viral photo of a deep-fried rat from a New York City Popeye's only exacerbated those ever-growing conspiracy theories.
With this in mind, it would be helpful to have some first-hand knowledge from those in the kitchen at McDonald's, Burger King, and the like, to know what is and isn't safe to grab and go.
"McDonald's workers of Reddit, what is the one menu option that you would recommend people never eat and why?"
Less The Menu Than The Location.
"Really depends on store and location."
"In my experience everything is pretty clean compared to other places I've worked."
"And because the food sits in heating trays, even the stale food is relatively safe to eat."
"They are also pretty anal with inventory and food waste."
"With the volume they push out weekly, it would be very rare for a store to have expired food."
"There is a comment in here about the grease vats not being changed."
"Maybe it was just my store, but we filtered the grease nightly, and cleaned the vat before every oil change."
"The fry vats got changed the most, due to their overuse."
"We also had constant secret shoppers and annual corporate patrons who would really judge the quality of the food."
"In all honesty, it was one of the hardest jobs I've ever worked."
"I did it all in the 6 years I was there."
"Cashier, drive thru, dishes, back end, maintenance, inventory, overnights, management."
"Pretty much every job they had, I spent time in."
"Other than the miserable treatment the employees get from the customer and corporate, the overall business and restaurant side of it is impressively streamlined."
"They have quantified almost everything."
"Maybe the only thing I'd stay away from is the birthday cake."
"I don't even know if you can still buy them, but they would be like the only item in the freezer year round until some unfortunate soul bought one."- WalterPecky
Toren C Humor GIF by VPROGiphy"I worked at a burger King for a week, couldn't stand all day plus the sounds caused constant migraines."
"It was clean as you'd expect it needed to be."
"Made me feel better about eating fast food actually."
"They had a simple rule, if you wouldn't eat it or feed it to your mother then don't serve it."
"Well that plus all the other rules."- modsarefascists42
Be Selective When It Comes To Egg...
"Any of the eggs.'
'There are 2 different ones."
"When they make the scrambled they don't even cook the top of them."
"The round egg sometimes has eggs shells in them, and the folded eggs are like fake frozen squares lol."
"The only real egg is the round egg."
"And never eat the fish sandwich at night time, or the fries b4 the places closes they are not fresh and fryers are already shut off, so it just sits until someone orders it."- Bloomoon-2232
Who Cares!
"You know, no matter how many times I see something like this, it will never, ever make me stop eating fast food."- Artemis_CrabLady69
french fries mcdonalds GIFGiphyWhen In Doubt Stay On Land...
"Worked at Subway 2010-12."
"Only thing I have to say is that tuna and seafood packaged used to have a label on it that said that it didn't contain dolphin or turtles in the meat, then that label suddenly disappeared in 2012."- UnitedTrout
Just When You Think You've Picked The Healthy Option!
"I worked at McDonald's this past summer, and I learned a LOT."
"My store hadn't served them since pre-COVID, but I would stray away from the salads."
"They actually often tend to have more calories than the burgers."
"Also, I wouldn't say not to eat them, but I would still be weary about the fries."
"In the two months I worked there, I think the fry oil was only changed once."- inreallife12001
"Worked at Dairy Queen for 4 years.'
"Do not order the salad, ever.'
"No one ever orders them, because it’s DQ, so when you do, it’s probably 2-3 days old."- naganol32
Wet Hot American Summer Cooking GIF by NETFLIXGiphyLiterally, Everything!
"Not a single thing off the entire menu."
"Not because of how it's prepared or sits until it's served, but because I've read the nutrition facts of most of it in paperwork and boxes, bags and things like that."
"I worked at McDs in Canton, OH on Cleveland ave."
"Pretty well-maintained, clean place staffed by competent people, on 3rd shift, anyway, but you cant get away from whats in the food no matter how its cooked or handled."
"But I will say, based on what I saw, if you're intolerant of too much sodium for any reason, STAY AWAY from the fries specifically, and asking for unsalted doesn't make a difference."
"I don't remember a number, but thats always stuck out in my mind as being crazy high whenever their nasty food comes up in conversation."- seventytwosuccubi
We must remember, should we find ourselves eating at a fast food chain or a five star restaurant, health inspectors check them regularly.
Suggesting that everything served was at the very least cooked in a sanitary environment.
What exactly was being cooked, however, might remain a mystery...
We all have our secrets.
Some secrets we might keep from others, but share with our closest friends and family, such as a crush, a closet fondness for a boyband or film franchise, or one's dislike of someone's style of cooking.
But then there are slightly deeper and darker secrets.
Things about ourselves or things we might have done that we can't even bring ourselves to share with those closest to us.
Be it out of fear, embarrassment, or even shame.
Redditor MadeOfRocky was curious to hear people's secrets so dark that they would only share it anonymously, leading them to ask:
"What deep secret you don't mind telling to internet stranger but not your family/friend?"

"Even tho she may be truthfully a little insane and over the top and relentless and sometimes she’s straight up a b*tch."
"She’s my mom."
"And I miss how she was when I was younger."
"Sometimes it’s like I don’t even know her anymore."- Constant-Rooster-361
"I love my mum, but I've also resented her to varying degrees since I was 11."
"She had me bringing my younger siblings on a two hour trip home every school day, making their lunches helping with their homework, getting them ready for school and doing whatever chess they had neglected on top of my own and stay awake till 12am so I could watch the dogs till she came home and if I asked for any sort of break she would say family required sacrifice."
"Then when I was 18 she began charging me half of what I made despite letting my older sister stay for free, and coerced me into not going to the school I was accepted into, cancel my lease which requires me to pay rent for three months since it was rented till January because she didn't want to take the night shift at her job."
"I'm now even worse of financially than before and apparently responsible for my sister's horses that my mum bought with the money she had offered to use to help pay my deposit."
"I also once broke my wrist and she refused to take me to a doctor for two days because I was being 'too dramatic' and was apparently crying too much, then she never took me to the checkup to ensure it had healed correctly cause she had decided to take the cast off early and had didn't want to be told off by the doctor and I was 'fine'."
"I mean who cares my wrist still felt too stiff and randomly began hurting like hell and it took me a year to be able to fill a single page in one go."
"This turned into sort of a rant."- APettyB*tch

Art Imitating Life
"During a low point in my life, I started writing an erotic fiction novel online."
'For characters, I literally just used people from my life, girls I’ve had crushes on, etc."
"Their names, just first names, personalities, and descriptions are exactly the same as their real-life counterparts.'
"I did it because I was too lazy to create my own character names, and I didn’t think anyone would read it."
"Thousands of people have read it."
"I’d delete it, but I can’t remember my password to get the story taken down, so… yeah."
'Nothing I can do about it now."

"I know I am neurodivergent, I know I am different from most people."
"I want to like who I am."

"I am going to a counselor to help boost my confidence, and I pretend that she's helping."
"The fact is, I feel completely unlovable and broken."- HopeTink
Secret Career Path
"I dropped out of college."
"I lived out of my car after this happened and did Lyft until I got into an accident and my car got totaled."
"I ended up being a valet driver and cleaned cars for an Audi dealership while trying to get some engineering related job."
"All this time I lied to my friends and family that I was working at a great engineering company and just using all my money to pay off my tuition in full while saying I was living at a friend's house."
"One of my biggest regrets is having a rider from Lockheed and Martin who offered me a job while I was driving him for Lyft, but he also thought I was still a student."
"I thought I had no shot but I still wish I took the risk."
"Funny enough I was still somehow able to con my way into being a designer/drafter as I did, and enjoyed, design in college."
"I sucked."
"My first year they basically said you suck and moved me to the shop floor as a supervisor."
"After that I job hopped all the way to a position now as a mechanical designer at a fortune 500 company making almost six figures without a degree."
"I worked hard at my craft to get good at it."
"To this day my wife, my friends, and my family do not know I did not complete my degree and think I'm an engineer."
