What People Found Out from Private Investigators


Ever wanted to know things that you have no right figuring out yourself, or have no means of discovering? As it turns out, there are people who will follow people around and sift through records to figure that stuff out. Private investigators discoveries can span the shocking to the utterly banal.

1.

Rectangle - KamikazeZero 10 hours ago My vindictive aunt hired one to spy on me and the guy found out quite a bit about me, like my dental records and stuff. I mean, I'm a pretty boring person with nothing to hide so the guy didn't find much to use against me.

Font - Salty_Series 7 hours ago 3 2 My Aunt hired a PI because she suspected her husband of cheating on her. The stereotypical "Why does he have to stay at work for so long all of the sudden?" Instead she found out that he stayed at work after he was done so he could play poker and crack a cold one in peace. When she confronted him about it, he got so mad, flying into a rage that he confessed to her how annoying and controlling she actually is. They worked it out, saved their marriage and built

Font - aliengames666 7 hours ago edited 7 hours ago I worked for a private investigator. The dumbest cases were when people filed fraudulent workers comp cases and then posted pictures all over their social media of themselves sky diving and shit when they alleged that they couldn't even walk. It was unbelievable the videos and pictures people would post after filing these claims with companies who had shit tons of money.

Font - Alieneater 10 hours ago I am not a PI per se, but as a freelance journalist I have been hired now and then for private investigations. Roughly 80% of the people who either paid me or wanted to pay me for investigations turned out to be either crazy or were otherwise normal people who had fixated on some person and situation in an irrational and unhealthy way. I now avoid that type of work and stick with other forms of non-fiction writing and research.

Font - LilaBrent 10 hours ago I had one hired against me, and they found out everything. Tattoos that aren't visible normally, the address I lived at in a different country, medical records from an accident that happened 6 years prior, so many random things that aren't publicly available.

I work as a lawyer, and occasionally I'll need a document from a courthouse that's too far away for me to just go there and pick it up. Occasionally the courthouse staff will refuse to make copies and mail them to me. So I've hired a few PIs to pick up what I needed.

All the birthday cards, little gifts, and little etceteras she sent him never reached him, because as it turned out, he never gave her his real name. She finally had enough and hired a PI. Guy was married and he lived further away from where he said he was located

Lies to the court so he only pays minimal child support and claims hardship on top of the lies. His income is twice what he reports.

Too Much Proof That Kids are Dumb and Weird


We all remember not knowing things, but sometimes we don't realize the absurd extents of our not knowing things. It's no mystery why kids are stupid and weird people; they just don't know how the world works. They do stuff until people tell them not to, and even then only some of them end up become functioning adults. Here are some more signs that kids are weird and stupid.

Funniest Things People Have Seen In Classrooms


Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the most ridiculous things that people have witnessed in classrooms. Classrooms have an uncanny ability to bring out people's most devilish behavior. The tomfoolery very well could be a manifestation of people just getting bored out of their minds, and trying to keep themselves entertained. These might remind you of that one time you witnessed a full-fledged class clown create chaos in an otherwise peaceful classroom.

Woman Tells Boyfriend She'd Date His Twin


It's a truly puzzling matter as to how this woman's confused about her boyfriend and his twin being upset over her sharing that she'd date her boyfriend's twin. I mean, wildly inappropriate, no? We wish this was nothing more than a poorly constructed joke, but it doesn't appear so. Reddit's moral judges in the AITA community have spoken as well, and are in collective agreement that she was in the wrong.
