15 True Stories That Could Be in a David Lynch Movie | April 9, 2025

An ordinary day can become unforgettable in an instant when a shocking or deeply disturbing event occurs. Whether witnessing the disturbing actions of a stranger or finding yourself in a disgusting situation, certain moments leave us speechless and questioning reality. This is exactly what happened to the people in this collection: experiences so overwhelming that they still struggle to believe what they saw with their own eyes.

Story 1:
My older sister played our Disney tapes every night to help me read the words; that’s how she taught me to read. I didn’t realize until years later that she used those tapes to drown out our parents’ arguments downstairs. I’m sad she didn’t have a childhood. © Unknown User / Reddit

Story 2:
I was washing my hands in the bathroom when a beautiful woman walked in and walked over to the sink. She took a tube out of her purse, inserted it into her belly button, and urinated into the sink. Then, to my surprise, she pulled the tube out, put it back in her purse, still dripping with urine. She didn’t wash her hands, or even turn on the faucet, and walked right back out. © Shipwreck_Medusa / Reddit

Story 3:
I was at Disney last week and walked past a guy sitting on a wall in the shade. He was looking at his phone, then he licked it. He stuck his tongue out and licked the whole screen like he was cleaning it. I almost bumped into someone from staring at him so hard. © Complete-Scar-2077 / Reddit

Story 4:
I was on a bus one day and saw a woman grab her child and suck the snot out of his nose. I gagged when I realized she wasn’t spitting it out. I had to get off at the next stop and walk for a while. © Totallynotpalpatine / Reddit

Story 5:
When I was 5, I visited my aunt in Los Angeles. It was the first time I’d ever seen a homeless person. I remember him because he was getting into a violent argument with a palm tree. © JeanRalfio / Reddit

Story 7:
I arrived at work early, around 6 a.m., and there weren’t many people on the street. I saw a woman pacing back and forth in front of my workplace. It was strange and creepy, and when she walked past me, I saw that her hands were cuffed behind her back. © IndependentToe2090 / Reddit

Story 8
I saw a mother intentionally pour a pitcher full of water all over the table at her daughter’s birthday party because she couldn’t get her daughter’s attention; the girl was too busy talking to her friends. © DrGingeyy / Reddit
