Reddit user jotazepp asked: 'What's the most embarrassing thing people would find out if you suddenly die?'

The thing about life is no one gets out alive.

It's inevitable. We're all going to die someday.


How and when is rarely in our control, so a lot of loose ends can be left in our wake.

Hoarding

"My 71-year-old single, never married aunt passed away last month. Upon her death, we discovered she was a hoarder. Her house was so cluttered with stuff that there was barely a narrow pathway to walk anywhere inside it."

"Had this been discovered while she was alive, it would've been extremely embarrassing for her."

"My aunt wouldn't allow anyone in the family in her home during her last ten years. Her home wasn't always like that."

"She wasn't found dead in her home. She was taken to the hospital when her sister (my Mom) hadn't heard from her for four days which hadn't happened before."

"My Mom called the police to check on her and that's when she was found on the floor of her bedroom unable to move and unable to reach her cellphone. Once in the hospital, she refused to allow anyone to retrieve her cellphone from her house."

"Out of respect for her privacy, no one retrieved it until she passed."

"My aunt was loved by everyone who knew her. She was a kind, thoughtful, and generous person. Her secret once exposed did not diminish our love for her one bit."

Lists

"To do lists from when I've been depressed with stuff like 'take a shower' and 'go outside' and mostly not crossed off."

~ go_eat_worms

Clothes

"I'm female, and a male ex of mine—we parted amicably—loves dressing up in women's clothes, especially lacy underwear, silky nighties etc..."

"He was really scared he was going to die, and his family would find all this stuff. So he keeps it in an old suitcase of mine with my name, flight tags and address on it."

"So it looks like I've left it at his house. I personally think they'll still be surprised as I don't wear anything fancy (just jeans, black t shirts, etc...), but it keeps him happy."

~ Cold_Hamster_1041

Emotions Journal

"Diary-entry-like random notes where I’m venting about certain people/situations."

"Writing has always been a helpful way for me to process more intense/confusing emotions, but I do worry that if I suddenly die those notes will be found and people who I genuinely cared about in life may then think that this one random journal entry represented 'the real way' I actually secretly thought about them in totality."

"When really it was just a moment and not representative of my whole relationship with them."

~ LaughingOwl4

"I actually wrote a disclaimer at the top of my worry journal for this reason."

"I explained that it was the place where I worked through difficult feelings and it wasn't representative of reality; it was the worst parts of me that I didn't want to bring to the relationship."

"I don't want anyone to think I didn't love them because I was struggling with fear or anger."

~ mikuooeeoo

Toys

"I still play with G.I. Joes and Ninja Turtles in the bathtub and I’m 42 years old."

"It’ll be obvious no matter where I die because both of my bathtubs and my hot tub are full of them. The only children that come over already outgrew playing with G.I. Joes."

"Everybody will know they’re mine."

~ MC_Sepsmegistus-Jr

"F*ck it man. I have a baby Yoda that I adore and I’m 54. Some of us need that inner child support!"

~ stuck_behind_a_truck

Diary

"I think I’m scared of anybody reading my diary. For my family (husband, kids, parents), friends and coworkers I’m a smiling and active person.

"But in reality I’m ALWAYS afraid of life, full of depressive thoughts, constantly fighting to not let my anxiety get the control of my mind knowing most of my life anxiety will win."

"If someone read what I write, they will know that I was actually acting at being a good person when actually I’m a psychiatric case with no solution."

~ No_No_ahMY

Tattoo

"The Hello Kitty tattoo on my butt."

"I'm a guy."

~ Delightfulboi

Speaking Of Hello Kitty...

"I’m a tradesperson—think construction, plumbing, etc...—and I met a city employee through my work that is obsessed with Hello Kitty."

"It took several months of building trust talking about my own obsessive collections for him to admit to me that the interior of his entire house is fully decorated in Hello Kitty pink and all kinds of different Hello Kitty merchandise—couch covers, all the sheets and bedspreads, dishes, appliances, everything in the house is Hello Kitty."

"He’s shown me pictures of the home and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if he has part ownership in the Sanrio store not far from our city."

"47 year-old male tradesperson who honestly looks like the definition of a big burly manly man. It makes him happy, but he's not telling the world."

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Graduate Goes Viral For Refusing To Shake Principals' Hands After They Did Nothing To Stop Her Being Bullied

For as often as U.S. schools declare that they will not tolerate bullying, maybe school systems need to be called out for not practicing what they preach.

TikToker Sarah Delaney recently caught her younger sister, a brand-new high school graduate, doing just that as she crossed the stage for her graduation. When her name was called, she gracefully stepped onto the stage and accepted her diploma before crossing to greet the school's two principals and several other school officials.
