>at a 'cosplay picnic' gathering-type thing
>40 year-old aspie who is always lingering around the community approaches me
>literally reaches between my cleavage and pulls out the necklace I'm wear
>"Anon, I always notice you're wearing this. I've always wanted to see what it was."
>22 years old now, he still acts like this to underaged girls and doesn't understand why people avoid him

>>7023049
ahhhhhhhhh

>>7023049
Another reason why the mentally retarded should no longer be tolerated and should instead be put down for the good of humanity.

A war on autism would do a number on the cosplaying community, leaving only the attractive.

>go to shitty con
>weebs from I know are there, say hi whatever
>they offer for me to join them
>okay, whatever, this'll be funny + the con is shit anyways
>one weeb has sister in tow, who has to be 10 or 11
>both of them are fucking SCREAMING about hetalia yaoi
>they both also scream about meeting the totally sugoi vic sama and idk whoever the voice actors are
>both scream sexual things at hetalia cosplayers who pass
>wearing shitty half assed cosplays- no wigs
>uh
>they lead us to their hotel room
>smells HORRIFIC like a thousand unwashed hambeasts
>also is a totally gross looking hotel to begin with
>holyshit
>nope.jpg

this girl is crazy. and apparently she's friends with asher/luvmonkeys.

>go to con
>jack skellington cosplay
>skeletons are my biggest fear
>he walks up to me
>he whispers in my ear
>"there is a skeleton inside you"
I have lived my life in fear ever since.

I honestly had a very tame weaboo childhood, even the people I hung around be it the high school anime club or cons, nothing too weird. BUT now that I think about it...there was this one....weird/could have been a thousand times worse moment-

>be 15ish at my 2nd con
>me and other girl friend walking down hallway from our room at the hotel
>again, I'm 15 so I'm pretty fucking stupid and automatically think everyone at the con MUST be super nice people
>Random guy pops his head out of another room
>Asks "Oh girls, look this is going to sound weird, but my friend can't get her zipper up, and she's a girl. Would either of you two mind?"
>HURP A FUCKING DERP I DONT MIND AT ALL STRANGER MAN IN HOTEL ROOM. SURE WHY NOT.
>I go in, friend waits outside.
>And to my surprise it's a 400 pound old women in a wheelchair. She can't seem to reach her zipper near her buttcrack for obvious reasons.
>Like a champ, I take one for the team, and for a good five minutes struggle to help her zip it up, cause the dress was clearly too small.
>She thanks me nicely and says shes going to be singing as an entry at the Karaoke competition.
>I say "Oh awesome, so is my friend. Good luck.
>We part ways. Friend outside later says "Wow...I just realized how easily we could have been murdered just now."
> Me ".....oh wow, you're totally right."

Aaaaaaaaaaaand I guess to add a little weird cherry to this story -

>at Karaoke competition.
>See the old land whale. I give her thumbs up when she goes on.
>She sings like a bag of kittens screaming for help while getting beaten to death with a hammer.
>My friend goes on, who FYI, is an actual performer and vocalist, who is also dressed as a lovely Lenne from FFX2 and sings "1000 Words."
>Nails it.
>Friend wins first place.
>Land whale angry and complains.

>>7023084
Wow. I am very happy for you that the hotel zipper situation ended up with you being a nice person instead of you being stuffed in a suitcase.

>>7023084

Christ on a cracker, are you serious? YOU are the kind of person I fear my pretend children will grow up to be. "It's cool mom, my 14 year old, 90 pound girl friend is coming with me. So if a bunch of men jump us, we'll be ok."

>>7023127
>women
>foresight
There is a reason their are so many single moms and divorcees around.

>>7023132

...huh? What do you mean?

>>7023132
or maybe it's the because some men like to dick around and pretend to be what that woman wants in a man just long enough to marry her.

>>7023181
and/or get her pregnant.

>>7023132
HAHAHAHA OMG SO GOOD BRO XDD BROFIST.

>>7023068
I wouldn't hate on all autistic people. Just those wish aspergers. There are many others who aren't as ridiculous.

Anyways.
>Made a fursuit, just to see if I could
>Decide to crash FurCon; see if we could get around in fursuits without a badge
>Crazy kid I see at every convention starts talking to us
>Too polite to know how to tell him to go away
>He punches his whole hand into my mask's mouth
>Real mouth is in mask's mouth--rigged up with a moving jaw
>This kid punches me straight in the mouth
>"Oh lol I just wanted to know what was in there."

Fuck. Shoulda reported him. He was telling us how he was sad he was banned from other conventions in the area for some reason or another. No wonder. I'd ban him too.

>>7023227
with aspergers* whoops.

>>7023132

Being a sports mascot is one of the most dangerous jobs because of behavior like this.

>>7023232
>men are never the cause
They are the cause and you were unable to properly judge their character. A divorcee (male or female) is a sign of a pattern of bad decision making.

>>7023132
there are so many single moms because men feel like they have a choice to leave their children while women more often don't, asshat

I'm saving this thread from derailing!

>high school invites all the clubs to a school fund raiser type deal
>My anime club brings pocky to sell and it sells like gold!
>everyone at school might think we're lame, but damn if everyone can agree that little sweetbread sticks dipped in chocolate is amazing.
>One girl brings in cupcakes with little ^_^ faces and such.
>Those sell too. A bunch of boys come over and buy some.
>All seems well.
>Minute or two later one of the boys (who was a friend of mine) pulls me over to tell me something.
>Anon, you need to get rid of those cupcakes.
>How come?
>Friend shows me that his cupcake is filled with lots of cat hair.
>WTF!?
>Go over to girl and ask her WTF!?
>"Ooooo. Oops. Yeah, I have like 5 cats. One was licking the batter bowl, but I didn't think he actually put in a paw or something."
>We check other cupcakes. Yup. All of them have cat hair in it...one has a little bit of cat litter in it?????
>Anime Club now called furry shit eaters club for rest of year.

>>7023127
I think that all of us are afraid of our future children making bad decisions. No need to freak out on someone who made a poor decision once. Holy shit, lol.

>>7023084
At least you were going under the pretenses to help someone with just a zipper. If it was something far more creepy, I'm sure you would have been more wary.
>Hey there little girls
>I need to practice taking some upskirt shots
>Can you help me out?

>>7023265
You poor creature. I'm sorry.

>>7023268

Zipper Anon here. You know, it was SO long ago, that I may be remembering things wrong. Maybe the "guy" was actually a small girl. And if I recall, I think that added up more at the time. I think she came out of the room saying she wasn't strong enough to help her mom pull up the zipper? And I was like "oh that sounds legit." I may have been 15, but I don't think I would have followed a random dude into a hotel room like that.

>>7023127

Ha, no, I agree with you. Maybe it was because it was the 80s and 90s, and I lived in a sleepy part of town in Colorado, but I did SO MUCH SHIT that was like super dangerous now that I think about it, that yeah, I should in all rights be dead...or raped or kidnapped or SOMETHING. Luckily, I was ok. No question if my pretend children did anything today, that I did back then, they would be dead. No question.

>first out-of-state convention at 16

>at one point, he grabs me by the hand at the convention and says, "Hurry, come here! It's important!"
>think something is wrong and he leads me to our room
>realize that we're the only ones in the room as he's closing the door
>"Anon, you need to help me put on my costume."

>"No, you don't."
>pushes me down by my shoulders into a chair
>terrified at this point, thinking only about the worst possible outcomes
>he sits in front of the chair on the floor, hands me his wig and says, "Okay, go ahead."
>literally nothing happened, except he made me dress him, style his wig, etc. (all of which were made very strangely and had to be put on in a particular way)
>my friend eventually came up to grab her camera, saw what was going on and made me leave

???

>>7023330
I think anon was talking about her childhood in general, not when the con took place.

>>7023321
>>7023321
He suckered you into his kink.

>>7023335

You know, it probably would have been less weird if that were the case.
He literally made this entire costume...and did not know how to put it on. Even -I- didn't know how some of the parts worked and he complained the entire time that I wasn't doing it right.

>>7023338
I've seen this exact type of behavior from men who wanted me to dress them because it's their kink.

>>7023338
Out of morbid curiosity, what costume was it?

>>7023342

Huh.
I guess I never thought of it that way because he threw such a pouty baby fit the whole time. I didn't even know that wanting to be dressed was an actual kink, to be honest.

>>7023342

Huh.
I guess I never thought of it that way because he threw such a pouty baby fit the whole time. I didn't even know that wanting to be dressed was an actual kink, to be honest.

>>7023352

I won't say the exact character just in case, but it was what would typically be a VERY simple Naruto character's outfit. He invented this crazy...weird snap-in contraption to keep his wig tied up instead of just actually getting a clip wig or tying it up with a ponytail. And top was kind of like a robe, but he had all these hook-and-eyes to keep it held together. It was just really odd.

>>7023359
It's actually a pretty common kink among submissive men, just another way to give power of themselves over to another person. Brats can like it as well. Ageplayers are sometimes into it because of the helplessness aspect that's like being young.

>>7023362

Huh. Learned something new today, I guess.
Bump for any other stories?

Not really a single story, but I always got hit on at cons when I was young because I've always been very tall. People would come up to me when I was only 11 years old and ask me if I was "out of school yet".
Oh but here's one not related to that.

>be at Megacon
>volleyball convention next door
>see lost mom and daughter trying to get to next building
>"I can help you, I was just there!"
>try to lead them there
>somehow get inexplicably lost
>shit
>make entire geek convention look even weirder / more useless with my failure
>awkwardly part and never get over it

>>7023376
Was there a year when there was a volleyball convention as well as the usual cheerleading competition or was that a Megacon somehow without cheerleaders?

>>7023380
I don't know; I only went for one day. It might have been a one day thing that time, but there were in fact no cheerleaders that day. ...I never thought of it as odd before, but you're right. Huh.

Not sure if this counts as a weeb horror story but it is a good "what the fuck?" story from Dragon*con...

>Just looking through the dealers room, its super packed
>Most people are being good about watching their shit and not hurting people with their props and bags
>I happen to be really short and getting bashed in the head with backpacks is a pet peeve because it happens so often
>Old guy smacks me in the face with a backpack
>Tap him on the shoulder "Please could you watch where you're slinging your bag?'
>Ignored
>Smacks me in the head with his bag again, harder
>Annoyed now, tap him again "Watch where you're throwing your goddamned bag please, you've hit me in the head twice now."
>Old dude turns and gets all up in my face, shouting about how I'm rude and that he has cancer and is going to die soon so he can do whatever he wants.
>Old dude storms off
>I still don't know what the fuck his having cancer has to do with being inconsiderate in public

>>7023994
Ugh, I've had people pull the cancer card on me before, too. It's super annoying, too, because you can't even call them out on their bullshit in public without people jumping down your throat. I mean, I realise it's an upsetting thing to go through, but if you think it gives you a free pass to hit people in the fucking face, you were probably an asshole to start with.

>In high school, discover lolita
>Save up from part time job, buy first brand dress
>Meta Swan Lake in pink (fucking terrible stock photo)
>Flounce around the house in it and show it to my mother
>"That's a little girl dress. Why do you want to look like a little girl?"
>Tried to explain but she just wasn't getting it
>Parents are divorced, spend weekend with dad then come back to mom's house
>Dress no longer hanging in my closet
>Mother admits that she gave it to my 10 year old niece
>"It's a little girl's dress, anon."
>Go over to aunt's house
>She thanks me profusely for the gift, talked about how much my niece loved it, asked her to go put on her pretty new skirt
>...skirt?
>She had chopped it and resewn it as a skirt so it would fit my niece
>Niece loved it and looked adorable in it
>Desperately hold back tears and say all the your welcomes and what not
>Never say anything to my mom about it, any future purchases were always kept at my dad's until I moved out
>Aunt donates the skirt to Goodwill when niece outgrows it

My heart still hurts a little thinking about it.

>>7024225
I would have called the cops. Depending on how much you paid for it, it could have been a charge more hefty than petty theft.

>>7024204
I find if they get in your face and shout that they have cancer, the best thing to do is get back in their face and shout that you do too, and that it is your dying wish to not be hit in the face by their fucking bag.

>>7024225
My heart hurts for you anon! I understand the thing about moms though, a dress wasn't ruined, but I can't bring up lolita around her without her commenting on the "little girl" aspect of the fashion. It makes me sad because I've been sewing some things (she used to sew all the time, didn't teach me though), and i want to share it with hwr, but I don't even want to bring it up around her now.

>>7024225
I seriously would have made my mom pay for that shit after throughly explaining how fucking much it cost, or gone to the police if she refused. That isn't a simple family issue, it's fucking theft.

>>7024301
While I would agree with it, it could cause a rift deeper than that anon would want to deal with. And it definitely wouldn't help anon's mom like lolita.

>>7024225
I am so fucking angry from reading this. I would have told my mother to pay back the difference. Your mother basically took your first brand dress without permission.

>>7024305
Maybe I'm BSed because my mom has always been so wonderful and understanding, but I really don't see why you would try so hard to stay in good terms with someone so inconsiderate they can't understand a concept as simple as "this cost a shiton, it was MINE and you fucked it up, at least give me my money back".

>>7024225
This is why I can't read these threads, people are such doormats and it makes me boil with rage. I understand you were young and didn't know how to deal with it, but if my mom stole from me and didn't even acknowledge that it cost a fuckton, I'd give her a piece of my mind and break ties with her until she paid me back and apologized. Nobody needs mean thieves as family.

>>7024321
See, I'm seeing anon's story from my family's POV; while my mom would never pull something like that, if I bought it with my money, assuming she did, if I ever even though of demanding she pay me back, and I said I would press charges/cut ties with her, I'd probably get beaten six ways from Sunday.
It's "disrespectful," even if they're clearly in the wrong.
Parents at that age are complete dildos when you tell them that they've done something wrong.

>captcha: siblaws repeats

>>7024328
My family situation works similar with this anon's description. It's either you deal with it or you move out. That is why I hid all my pricey stuffs in somewhere lockable until I moved out (It does not help for me to have a brother that steals, ah well that's another story)

>>7024204

Ugh, I have a professor/boss at school who had cancer. She is such an asshole about it. She asked me last year "How's your semester going?" And I was like "Augh, it's rough, I have some terribly tough classes, and 18 credit hours, and I'm just not sure how I am going to do it all and work." She looked me dead in the eye and says "Oh, poor you. At least you don't have cancer. You don't see me complaining." And walks off.

>>7024282
Ooohhh, that's good.

>>7024239
I was very young and pressing charges against my mother wasn't something I even considered.

>>7024295
Yeah, I have an...interesting relationship with my mother. It's difficult to explain. I don't see much of her anymore except for family functions on holidays and what not. She knows that I primarily wear lolita now, and I know she doesn't approve, but we just don't talk about it.

Happy ending, though. My niece loved the skirt, and I'm sure somewhere out there there's some other little girl with an awesome skirt she got for cheap. A few years later I found Swan Lake in offwhite, too. It stings a little, but all's well that ends well, right?

>>7024301
She would have been angry if she knew how much I had spent on it. I was a teenager, calling the cops wasn't something I was going to do.

>>7024305
It would have made my home life hell. It's easy to say go to the police, but I honestly think I did make the best decision on the matter.

>>7024308
It was my first lolita item ever, actually. And yes, I was angry, I was sad, I cried and gnashed teeth. Telling her to pay me back would not have gone over well.

>>7024311
I wouldn't say I'm on good terms with her.

>>7024321
I'm not going to try to justify my actions anymore.

>>7024328
I don't want to delve into my family relationships too much, but you hit the nail on the head.

>>7024340
I don't think it even occurred to her as stealing. But yes, deal with it or move out. I did move out as soon as I could.

>captcha: polive tomorit
Hahahaha.

>>7024403
>POLICE
Whoops...

>>7024373
Not gonna lie, if I had cancer I'd be pretty bitter too if I had cancer.

And I am legit at the doctor right now finding out if Im developing cervical cancer.

>>7024413
Oops that first sentence was redundant but yeah.

>>7024413
Good luck anon im sure youll be fine, dont sweat it.

>>7024413
Good luck, anon.

>>7024419
Wow I didn't expect such politeness! Thanks!

>>7024403
You don't need to justify anything, anon. It's understandable, my mother thinks sweet looks ridiculous and I'd get shat on relentlessly if that's what I wore. She's okay with classic, but thinks the poof is stupid and I get shit on for that. If she knew how much I was spending on it, she'd flip shit and go on a tirade about the value of money, even if it's mine.
I think it takes something different to be able to take shit like a champ, instead of throwing a huge fit.

>first con ever, small con with friends that have cosplayed before.
>friends are cosplaying nurses shortdresses.jpg
>in dealers room go to look at shirts when an autistic man starts hitting on friends who are obviously uncomfortable
>tell the people who are watching him, they get him away from us

>Decides that she needs to ask me if I'm "a little"
>I don't know what the fuck that is, she explains, she was asking if I was into ageplay
>I'm like omfg fuck no I'm not, I'm just wearing lolita
>says she's a lolita too but from her outfit it's not believable
>Eventually explains that she believes she's a 3 year old dragon when she's having sex
>IDK what the fuck just happened

I can't express how quickly this conversation goes from her complementing my outfit to her explaining that she pretends to be a baby dragon while her fat nasty boyfriend bones her.

>>7024413
As long as you're not the kind of person to bulldoze the fact that you have cancer into every situation no one will mind you being bitter.

It felt like someone chopped my fucking heart when I read that cunt chopped the fucking dress.

Even if you meant to give the dress, nobody should fucking cut it up.

>>7024373
No. That is NOT fucking acceptable. My mother had cancer and you know what? She told me straight up that she would get moody and emotional, but she would NEVER EVER think of being a CUNT like that. Fuck your professor/boss. Dude, that's so seriously enraging. I can only assume, but I'm sure she had health insurance and could GO to a doctor unlike SOME PEOPLE... if you want to be like that..

>>7025397
I knew a guy who had some kind of autism (this was like almost a decade ago, so way before Aspergers was a huge thing/diagnosed all the time, so it might have been that) who was... Ok in most social situations, but a lot of the time he'd be participating in conversations with people, then you'd look away for a second, look back and he was gone. like he didn't realize he should say something before leaving the house. He would just stop mid conversation and turn around and walk out the door and drive away without saying goodbye and half the time would leave the front door wide open. Also he liked to make lists a lot and leave them around places. But other than that he was a good guy heh, though he didn't understand jokes very well

>Yo Alex, if you don't know who she's cosplaying as I'm going to be really disappointed in you! /laughing
>Oh, I don't know her
>Find out he spent the rest of the day really upset and crying in his hotel room because he thought I didn't want to be his friend anymore

>>7023265
Honestly what kind of fucking retard do you have to be to not understand that if anything that sheds, or actually just fucking anything, steps in your food/batter it is still okay to use? This bitch is beyond stupid

>>7025397
Aspies are the nice ones, don't worry.

>>7025404
He also became extremely upset because he thought he was gay because he was attracted to bishie dudes and it upset him because he knew he didn't like dicks, but he couldn't help but think the guys were really pretty. So he had this melt down and we had to sit him down and explain to him he was straight because the dudes are drawn to be super pretty and feminine. He was extremely relieved about that.

>>7025410
Sounds like half of Fakku.

I would personally give her mother a stern talking to if I knew her.
OP is on bad terms with that bitch anyways, so I'd suggest pestering her about "remember the dress I bought", giving her hell until she pays up, then breaking ties. OP stated that she moved out so there's not much her mom can do.
my parents did something similar to me. (took all my electronics-laptop, tablet,vidja systems,- and sold them because I was "too addicted"). I called them out on it, demanded my money back, took all the actions I could, but so far I've found out I can't do anything about it until I move out. and sweet jesus when I do I'm going to make their life a living hell until they give me my money back then cut off ties.
sounds like a bitch thing to do to someone that raised you but we have the most horrible relationship.

OP is moved out. step it up and take action, jesus.

Two stories, both from momocon.
story 1: >be me with friend around 13 and dad
>first con ever
>momocon fairly new maybe 2-3 years old at this point
>collects only the really obscure people
>yaoi paddles were the fucking thing
>being 13 I was just discovering normal porn
>discussing what these could be used for
>possibly its a weird anime frat? paddles are used in frats, con is on GT campus
>guy in his 20s, who looks like he attempted to shave but missed patches and cut himself, scraggy hair, poor clothing, smells of piss
>explains what yaoi is
>in explicit detail
>to myself, and my friend who are 13, and my dad.
>my dad told him to shut up and we went another way
I am honestly still scared my parents have not forgotten that and hesitate every time I say I am going to a con. It has been 7 years since that incident
story 2: >3rd or 4th momocon
>figured I would work it because why the fuck not
>last year at GT campus because it was 1000 people over than what was expected
>spent most of the con counting people on the stairwell and keeping a line so it is not a fire hazard
>be last day of con, sunday
>work registration
>with girl I like
>old woman and balding son, whom looks like he has a serious medical condition comes up
>"my son has leukemia"
>"... how can we help you then ma'am?"
>"yes he lost his badge do we have to apply for a new one or can you just give one
>"you have to apply"
>"so stupid he has such little time left with us and we have to do what he wants to do as soon as possible"
>"I apologize ma'am I don't make the rules"
>look at female friend
>ohgodwhy.jpg
>have meaningful discussion on how we are very lucky to not be in is situation and how we feel terrible now
I felt terrible the rest of the week, but the con was free and the paper wanted your name, email, and age. We did the rest, so it was not an inconvenience.

>>7025420
Correction, they leave then we have the discussion. We would not discuss with her dear god she was as depressing as toy story 3 or lassie

>>7025325

At the time she was actually in remission, on her second year. She had fairly treatable breast cancer. Four years now and she's out of all treatment except for the occasional check up once or twice a year to make sure everything's fine. But she's a moody cunt in general, the cancer only gave her an excuse. We are at a podunk little school, 45 minute walk from the nearest store, much further to something that's not a drugstore. No public transportation. She once went off on a girl who said she had just bought her own car, because my boss said 'kids these days are so entitled! they think they NEED cars. When I was in college I didn't even DREAM of having a car, and I was fine! Get over yourself! " and my other boss was like "You went to NYU. I think it's a little different." And she was pissy all day, for the rest of the day.

>>7025372
>>7025379
Come on, I grew up in a not-great household. Sometimes a fight is really just not worth it. When your parent is the type to always think they're right because they're the parent, trying to guilt trip them AND get money out of them is a great way to get scream-spit in your face and get even more things taken from you.

When you're an adult and on equal ground with your parents, yeah. Fight for yourself. But when you're depending on them for food, shelter, education, clothing, internet, computers, their car, you really need to pick your battles.
Parents will take things away from you, even stuff you bought yourself, because they will use the excuse, "You're under my roof and you will do what I say." I wouldn't risk losing anything else just to fight over a dress that was already gone and butchered.

If her mother already is against lolita, fighting with her about the dress's cost will only cause more screaming and more tears and NONE OF THE MONEY BACK. Because the mom'll spin it that it was HER FAULT. That she shouldn't have spent THAT MUCH MONEY.

Why do so many people think that everyone can have rational conversations with their parents especially when living under their roof? This is not the case. This doesn't make her a doormat. This makes her aware of the situation she's living in, and knowing how much she can expect out of her parents. Not everyone can bounce back from a fight and it is not worth it if you're not even going to get anything out of the fight! Telling her mom might make her take control of her bank account because she doesn't believe her daughter can make sound decisions with her money.

Not everything can be solved by yelling at it. Sometimes you have to let it go. Lucky you girls can have a screaming fit with your mothers without the terrible words she says about your worth getting at you! I'm glad you can do this! LUCKY YOU. Not everyone can! This doesn't make them doormats!

>>7025432
she's moved out now and still hasn't done shit about it, and instead has given up without fighting " oh well, she really liked my skirt.."
look I can use capslock too:
THATS WHAT MAKES HER A DOORMAT

>>7025443
Jesus let it fucking go.

Its in the past. I don't go bitching about how my friends stole shit from me, or I got bullied in highschool.

You just move the fuck on and forget about it. You could waste your whole life being mad about dumb shit or just move the fuck on.

>>7025443

You make it seem like 400 from twelve years ago is worth fighting about. Different anon, but fighting with parents at any stage particularly these kinds will only result in hurting the relationship more, for everyone involved. Anyways what's she's going to do? Yell at her mom every day about it? Take it to small claims court? Honestly not worth fighting about.

>>7025318

He's had con security called on him often, but they brush it off as, "Oh, he's just got autism. He can't help it."

Does anyone have any good commission horror stories? I remember there was a thread a long time ago with a whole bunch and they were really fun to read.

>>7023265
My school's club did a Pocky sale too. Made crazy money on it too and did it several times over two years. I think we started a craze for It because of our sales spiel (fits in pockets and purses, relatively low in calories and made a good school time substitute for a cigarette craving because of its shape) Strawberry was the most popular in my school, and if we got some of the ones with thick frosting we even sold them a quarter a stick.
A few local convienence stores even started carrying it so yeah.

I've got a story, but it's kind of long. Would people mind sitting through it?

>>7025465
of course, anon. post it.

All right, here goes.

>big convention coming up
>have an artist alley table that I am going to sell things at
>reserve a room for me, my 16 year-old brother (who had never been to a con) and my two close friends
>week before con, one friend gets into a car accident and is left with heavy repair costs
>she has to drop the con
>tell her it's cool, but worry about paying now
>post a request on the convention forum asking if anyone is in need of a room
>get a response mere seconds after from some girl
>"My friends gave my space to someone else, so I have no room! I am 18, am super friendly and money is not an issue!"
>figure she sounds okay
>I give her my cellphone number and tell her to meet us in the lobby of the hotel a few hours before check-in so she can give me the money and I can deposit it into my account

>>7025475

Green-texting this story is kind of hard, so I'm just going to write it out. Sorry.

So my little brother, friend and I are waiting in the hotel at the time we decided on. There is luckily an ATM for my bank at our hotel, which meant we didn't have to travel far for the deposit.
So we waited...and waited...and waited....and two hours later, a girl comes scurrying into the hotel, wheeling three humongous suitcases behind her. She sees me, runs over and asks if I'm the one from the forums. I say yes.

(I don't want to use real names in this story, but I hate it when people use letters, so I'm naming everyone after fruits.)
She introduced herself as Apple, but asked us to call her Ringo-chan (in reality, it was a horrible 'Japanese' pronunciation of her name). I introduced myself, my friend (Pear) and my brother (Orange).

Apple apologizes for being so late. She says she was having troubles with her ride. We tell her it's not a huge deal and she forks over the money without any hesitation. I deposit it and we check into our room. Everything was okay, but I couldn't help but notice that Apple was very attentive towards my little brother.

>>7025486

Orange has always been really shy and has really bad social anxiety. At the time, he had been putting himself out in public more and more to try and overcome this This was why he had decided to come to the convention with me and he had been hoping that it would do him some good.
He and Pear were making light conversation with Apple as I was checking into our room and I was feeling really proud of him. But every so often, he would say something and Apple would start laughing uncontrollably (and in a very fake way). As I think about it now, I figure she was trying to impress him or something by laughing at his silly jokes or comments. But as we were heading up to our room, Orange pulled me aside and asked me if he was saying stupid things. Because of how forced her laughter was, he felt like she was doing it to make fun of him or something. I assured him that he hadn't and not to worry so much and we went about getting settled into the room.

We had two queen-sized beds and Apple was the first to claim one, jumping on the bed furthest from the door. I placed my things near the closer bed and as Orange began to do the same, Apple grabbed him by the hand and started dragging him towards her bed.

"Noooo, Orenji-kun is going to sleep with ME."

Orange looks very nervous about that idea and I inform Apple that no, he's going to sleep in my bed and that Pear was sharing her bed. Apple was dejected, but didn't say anything more.

>>7025495

The first day was fairly uneventful. Pear, Orange and I went downstairs to set up our artist alley table. Pear and I were splitting it, both selling our own things and Orange offered to keep track of sales if we needed breaks, food runs, etc.
Apple split off once she got changed, saying she was going to hang out with her friends.

We didn't see her for nearly half the day until she showed up in the artist alley, crying and scared out of her wits.

"I....I'm so scared. I can't be alone right now. I feel like I'm being stalked."

The three of us think she's serious and ask if we should call security. She declines, but asks if once of us can escort her to the room because of how scared she is.
Orange offered to go with her and said he'd grab us some sodas from the vending machine on the way back. I worry about him, but he seems okay. Apple, meanwhile, is thrilled.

A little while later, Orange returns and looks kind of stunned. I asked him if anything happened and he said that when he took Apple up to the room, she immediately started taking off her clothes in front of him. He left very quickly.

I thought that was weird and decided I'd keep an eye on her for any other weird behavior. We closed up shop for the night, went out to dinner and returned to the room. Nothing out of Apple, except a few pitiful sighs as Pear got into bed with her.

Not horrific but definitely someone I wanted to punch.

>several years ago, 20 and painfully shy
>have decent sewing skills though and friends talk me into cosplay
>can't travel due to overprotective parents so only do local Suncoast contests
>always win because I'm the only one not doing closet cosplay
>start plotting dream cosplay, Seras Victoria from Hellsing
>get it done with three days to spare
>weeby best friend suddenly wants to come with me and begs to to a couple cosplay
>watanuki and yuuko (the maid art version) from xxxholic, which I never saw
>can't say no so pull together shitty half-closet maid dress night before
>get to Suncoast feeling underdressed but figure its worth it to make friend happy
>strange new girl dressed as some One Piece thing zones in on me and starts asking if I'm lolita
>N-no I'm... Uh... Yuiko? Yuko?
>she starts laughing, says I'm too timid to play "the Space Bitch"
>notices that I'm carrying a bjd (dressed in black, she blended with my outfit a bit, dunno why I even brought it)
>starts asking how much allowance I get, do my parents buy me expensive shit all the time, etc
>tell her I'm an adult with a job and probably older than she is
>doesn't seem to believe me and keeps bugging me with random questions until contest is over (neither of us won, btw she was cosplaying Zoro with no binding or wig, her own butt length ginger hair, and a big hobopurse)
>my friend never showed so wander around hoping she just is late
>realize this chick is following me
>into stores, bathroom, across mall, cant shake her
>start to get scared and make a dash for the Macys, where I happened to work at the time
>security finally grabs her for trying to follow me into the employee area
Still no idea why she kept following me, maybe she was gonna steal my doll or something. Only saw her at one other contest, where I finally wore Seras and got first place so guess she just thought I was an easy newb/ita to mock.

Did anyone here have an encounter with a woman from cosplay.com named Cindy who really liked Sailor Jupiter?

I'm asking because I recall some other girls on cgl having experience with this girl stalking them or acting very creepy. My own horror story with her involves her trying to get me to give her child porn of myself at 14... I think she was 19 or 20 or in her early 20's.

>>7025498

Day two, I awake to an argument.
Pear is sitting up in her bed and is completely bitching out Apple...who is in her panties and nothing else. I got the impression that her underwear had been white and one time, but had turned into a dirty brown over time. In her hands, she was cupping her lumpy breasts (which were oddly covered in little black hairs).

She had been squatting on the floor next to her end of the bed (which was parallel with Orange's side of our bed), apparently 'looking' for her bra.
Pear is yelling at her, stuff like, "Get dressed in the bathroom!" and "I don't want to see your pasty ass!"
Apple is calling her a bitch and is continuing to repeat, "I'm just looking for my BRA." while constantly throwing glances to Orange. Thankfully, he is a heavy sleeper and slept through it.
I point at the wall across from their bed where a bra (also a dirty light brown) has been slung over a chair. I ask if that's her bra, Apple mumbles something under her breath, grabs it and heads to the bathroom to get changed.

I look at Pear and ask her what happened. She tells me that she woke up to Apple naked and bent over, ass facing towards Orange. Once she had seen what was going on, she yelled at her to put clothes on and Apple quickly pulled on her panties, but kept bending over and 'posing' while taking forever to find her bra.

>>7025501

Whoa, what? Is she still on there?

>>7025509
This was in 2009, so I have no idea. I know she has an internet presence but I don't really use cosplay.com anymore.

Did you know her too? It's really creepy to think of how a 20~ year old girl tried to get a 14 year old girl naked on camera.

>>7025511

No, I didn't. I just thought that sounds crazy strange.
Did you every contact a mod about her?

>>7025508

Apple comes out of the bathroom and is dressed and looks like she's been crying. I am grossed out, but wanting to avoid drama, I let her know that we have an unspoken rule about going to the bathroom when we need to change.
Apple says she understands, but looks incredibly butthurt.

Orange finally wakes up and the two of us start packaging the extra items from my artist alley stock that we brought along. Apple says something like, "That looks like fun! Can I help?"
I appreciate the offer and show her how (slipping chains through the holes in the cardstock, letting the pendant hang and taping the chain up in the back). Each time I finished one, I'd hand it off to Orange and he would slip them into the clear plastic and seal them.

Apple starts trying to do it, but is trying to twist the necklace in 'cool' patterns around the cardstock instead of taping the chain up in the back. Each time she finished one, she'd delicately place it in Orange's hands and beam at him proudly, then turn around to start another.
She didn't know it at the time, but each time she'd hand him one of the packages, Orange would undo her designs and properly fix them, then place them in our bag.
This detail of the story may seem weird, but I promise it is relevant later on.

>>7025513
Oh, no. I was a very timid and non confrontational 14 year old girl so after she requested me to masturbate on camera for her, I just disconnected my computer, blocked her and turned off my phone.

I know several other girls on cgl have had experience with her harassing them, I randomly remembered my experience and that's why I'm kind of curious to see if anyone else here remembers her.

>>7025518

Out of morbid curiosity, what were the other experiences about?

>>7025520
It's been a while(at least a couple of years) since I've seen anyone else talk about her, but things like her stealing others work and claiming it as her own, her IMing other cosplayers and acting very clingy, things like that.

She approached me pretending that she was a model and wanted to give me modelling tips and give me my own photoshoot via skype... it was very strange.

>>7025517

Once we've got our extra stock packaged, Orange and I decide to wear the costumes we made on this day.
He is 16 and I'm 20, but we look incredibly similar to the point where people have mistaken us for twins in the past. We used this to our advantage and made costumes for Dipper and Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls.

As Orange walks out of the bathroom in his Dipper costume, Apple lets out a long and collective gasp.
"Oh my GOSH. I LOVE that show!!!!1! I want to cosplay that one lumberjack girl that Dipper has a crush on! Don't you think I'd look great as her???"

A few minutes later, I come out of the bathroom in my Mabel costume and Apple scoffs. I gave her a look and ask her if she has a problem and she says, "That's sick. What's wrong with you? You're his SISTER for fuck's sake!"

"...Yeah, that's why I'm cosplaying as his sister."

"No, you don't get it, Anon. Mabel and Dipper actually have an incestuous relationship. I read all about it on Tumblr."

I didn't know what to say then.
I still don't, really.
Pear started laughing and Orange looked mortified. I rolled my eyes and started packing up my artist alley stock so we could head downstairs.

>>7025522

You're sure she was a girl, right? And not just some creep pretending to be a girl?

>>7025529
We traded phone numbers and spoke on the phone a bit, it was definitely a female voice. She didn't appear on camera so I have no idea if her photos were real or not, but she gave me her myspace. I don't have it anymore, though.

>>7025528

>Mabel and Dipper actually have an incestuous relationship

It's a DISNEY SHOW. EW.

>>7023076
HOW DID ANYONE NOT NOTICE THIS FUCKING POST

Moar please.

>>7025000
omg cannot undo

why did you do this to me omg

>>7025528

Instead of breaking off from us to go hang out with her friends, Apple follows us to the artist alley with the intention of staying with us all day. Three people behind a table, plus our extra stock and supplies was really crowded and we didn't have an extra chair.

"Oh, that's okay! I'll just sit on the floor!"

Apple plops down on the ground at the end of our table (much to my displeasure) and is pleased as punch.
As the day goes on, my patience with Apple is starting to wear thin. Every time a customer comes by the table, Apple suddenly pipes up, "SHE'S GOT COOL STUFF. YOU SHOULD BUY SOMETHING." ...which scared people off 95% of the time.

At one point, a girl comes by and compliments our packaging. Apple scrambles to her knees and drapes her arms over the table, saying, "I HELPED! SEE?"
But then she notices her weird 'chain-design' packages have all been fixed and her face goes white. None of us say anything, but Apple jumps to her feet and bolts out of sight.

Four or five hours pass and we don't see her.
I have to run up to the hotel room to grab something, so Orange takes over for me and I head up alone.
I open the door and my first thought is that somebody broke into our room.

>>7025554
>I open the door and my first thought is that somebody broke into our room.
F5ING SO HARD

>>7025554

Our clothes are everywhere.
Somebody ripped apart our suitcases and tossed things around. Orange's suitcase is completely empty of its contents, his clothes in all sorts of weird places (under the sink in the bathroom, hanging on the TV, etc.). Pear's things and my things have been disturbed, but not very much.
The only person who didn't have their things rummaged through were Apple's.

I was pissed off and started picking things up and putting them back in the proper suitcases. At one point, I sat down on the bed and as I put my hand on the comforter, I suddenly found it was damp.

With a horrible feeling in my gut, I pulled back the covers and saw the sheets were stained with a clear slimy substance and that a few pairs of Orange's boxers were hidden within. Not just in a small spot or anything, but it looked like somebody shook up a soda can and sprayed it across the fucking bed. It also reeked and I didn't need to think hard about what it was.

I stormed downstairs to the artist alley to find that Apple had rejoined Pear and Orange and was now sitting in my chair behind the table. As I get closer, I realize she's sobbing.

>>7025565

"My dad is here! He follows me everywhere I go! He'll never stop!"

Whoa, what the fuck.
I set aside my anger and asked for the details. Apple keeps faking being embarrassed and hides her face in Orange's chest. I keep prodding her for details and she finally blurts out:

"My dad is an assassin. He left my mom and I when I was just a baby, but now he wants custody of me so he can sell me into sex trafficking."
Pear starts laughing. I'm not sure how to react and Orange looks as terrified as ever. I keep quiet and wait for her to continue.

"My dad said that because I'm a virgin, I'll make a lot of money as a prostitute! That's why I need someone to pop my cherry. If I'm worthless, my dad will finally leave me alone."
As she says this, she keeps looking at Orange lovingly.

>>7025528
MOAR

>>7025571

Apple is in hysterics at this point and I decide to deal with the nasty room shit once she's calmed down. We eventually close up our table and go out to dinner.

Things have calmed down, though Apple would throw paranoid glances over her shoulder every now and then. Before we leave, she heads to the bathroom and I end up following her. I pull her aside and ask her if she was in the hotel room today. She instantly looks guilty and embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm sorry. When I ran away from my dad, that's where I went to hide."

I ask her why the room was completely pulled a part. She puts her face in her hands and starts doing a really fake cry. I'm not taking any bullshit at this point, so I ask her firmly why she made a mess.

APPARENTLY, she was so desperate to 'pop her cherry' and make herself 'worthless', she brought a vibrating dildo along with her. But she was having trouble getting wet.
"I don't know if you realized this, Anon-chan," she says. "But....I am in love with Orenji-kun."

I played dumb and said I had no idea. She goes on to explain that she got really wet when she could smell him, so she decided to use some of his clothes to help 'stimulate' her.

"You know, Apple, Orange's side of the bed was covered in stains."

She hides her face in her hands and says so quietly that I almost don't hear it:

"I know. I'm a squirter. I'm so sorry."

>>7025571
Jesus fucking christ...

>>7025585
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

>>7025585
Holy fuck. And you say this girl was 18? It sounds like she's 12 and believes shes a mary sue from her fanfiction.

>>7025585
And some guys think squirting is hot... I take back everything I've ever thought about squirting being interesting and fun. I would never want to bestow that curse on a girl.

>>7025585

I was so fucking grossed out.
When we got back to the room, I called housekeeping and they changed the sheets and covers in my bed (the maids looked disgusted when they saw the stains). I didn't tell Orange or Pear about it because I didn't think they needed extra nightmares.

We go to sleep.
The next morning, I wake up to the sounds of crying and plastic ripping. I sit up in bed and see Apple sitting against the wall across from me. She has opened up my artist alley tote. My supplies are all over the floor around her, packaging ripped up and discarded, necklaces damaged.
She looks up at me with tears in her eyes, holding one of my items in her hands and asks:

"What happened to the ones Orenji-kun and I packaged?!?!"

I lost it.
I flung myself out of bed, over to her on the floor and grabbed her by her shirt collar. She started screaming and lunged towards Orange, grabbing his feet and startling him awake.
He sees the packaging all over the floor and gets angry, Pear wakes up and starts yanking her off of Orange.

The whole time, Apple is screaming, "MY DAD WILL FIND ME. PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME. DON'T LEAVE ME."

We eventually forced her out of the room, along with her three giant suitcases and slammed the door behind her.

>>7025599
>12/13
The end is nearing.

It's early, but thank you for sharing anon.

>>7025599
Good for you.

SOMEBODY SCREENCAP THIS, QUICK

>>7025599

Apple clawed at the door for an hour, crying and sobbing and begging us to let her in. Orange was so freaked out from being forced awake and the sudden confrontation that he started having an anxiety attack and I had to get him his inhaler.
Pear called the front desk and told them to send security because there was a potentially violent person trying to get into our room.
A few minutes later, we heard male voices speaking and then Apple started screaming again.

Orange ran to the door, looked through the peephole and covered his mouth.
"Anon, she's jumping on the security guy!"
There are sounds of a struggle, one last scream and then suddenly everything goes quiet.

To wrap this up quickly, the security officers knocked on our door and asked us to file a report. We told them about her behavior, what had caused her outburst, etc. She was apprehended and removed from the hotel. I'm not really sure what happened to her.
That's...pretty much it. I am never going to ask strangers to stay in my room again and poor Orange is too afraid to give conventions another chance.

Thanks for listening to me, /cgl/. Sorry this took so long.

>>7025599
please tell us you tore her a new one

>>7025603
I'm so sorry for your brother! That's terrible. Were your designs salvageable or did she really destroy them?
Also for our viewing pleasure, would you please give us a physical description of what she looked like?

>>7025603
Aw man...

Tell orange that we send him our sincerest apologies...

>>7025603
Don't be sorry, I'm sure most everyone didn't mind the length.
Some probably wanted it to be longer

But I'm truly sorry for you Anon, it's stories like this that make me want to never look for a roommate via forums or even the internet. I'm even skeptical of friend-of-friend deals.

>>7025606
I can only imagine a screaming weeb in terrible milanoo cosplay

>>7025611
I'm imagining an overweight (apple shaped heh) girl with poorly dyed black hair that has stained her scalp and shaky thick eyeliner
All in a too-tight dark purple tank dress

>>7025606

My things had really fixable damages done to them (pendants fell off the chain, etc.). It was mainly the packaging she destroyed. The plastic covers cost me a lot to order online and I made the cardstock jewelry holders by hand out of scrap-booking supplies. It was really disheartening to see them torn to shreds on the floor.

And sure!
She was kinda short (I'd say around 5'2?) and a little chubby, with dirty blonde hair that is always greasy. She also has that sort of facial complexion you see on gingers where their cheeks are really red like they've been slapped.
Her neck is really short and even though she had a bra, her boobs looked really saggy like she'd never worn one before. She loves Kuroshitsuji (she called one of her costumes 'Shiroshituji' and it was like a white version of Sebastian?) and she claimed to have been from California, even though this convention was on the east coast.

And thank you guys for being so nice. :) I assume Orange is sleeping right now, but I will give him your regards in the morning.

>>7025397
I know that feel.

That was a great read! I'm glad you guys kicked them out, jesus kudos to you anon I would NEVER have been that polite or considerate after tearing your room apart

>>7025585
I choked on my poptarts when I read the last part from both disgust and trying not to laugh at the thought of someone saying that.

>>7025622

Thanks. I actually work as a nanny on the side and have had to take care of special needs kids in the past, so I can be pretty patient.
When people have no excuse to act out, it makes me really angry.

>>7025603

Oh gosh, poor Orange... :c
I'm sorry you all had to deal with that psycho!

Might I ask what you sell, anyway?

>>7025631

I make polymer clay jewelry and do amigurumi. I'm not going to share my shop name, though, just to be safe.
I have no idea whether or not Apple goes on here or not. I don't come here that often.

Alrighty here's my horror story

I'm in a fandom community (the fandom is withheld because it's irrelevant and i don't want to start anything) that hosts meetups now and then, and has a tight-knit inner circle which I'm apart of. About a year ago, there was a guy in the group who, you could tell wasn't very socially adept at all, and had autism on top of that. but, we were all nice to him and gave him a chance.

but then he started to get creepy. at meetups, he would get really comfy with the girls there, especially me since i was so nice to him all the time. (for the record, this guy was 20 and i was 16 at the time)

he started giving me (but mostly me) and other girls (anywhere from 14-16) kisses on the cheek and would want hugs a lot. he even bought me things with his government-given money.

so, our group leader stepped in a warned him to stop, these are underaged girls and he could get in a LOT of trouble if she were to call the police. he stopped bothering everyone else, but not me.

the leader ended up banning him from the group and all meetups, but we knew he'd be at a con we were going to. we had to come up with a safety word for whenever someone saw him to scatter and regroup to get away from him. we ended up doing this once at the convention.

later we went to a photoshoot for a fandom and saw him there since he was (very shittily) cosplaying from it. i saw him and my heart dropped into my stomach, i ran through the crowd as fast as i could to my friends and had to sit down because i was about to have an anxiety attack. we didn't stay for the photoshoot and had to let me have some fresh air outside the convention center.
we avoided that area like the plague for the rest of the day.

(I hope this isn't too lengthy!)

Gah, I wish I had the talent to do those kinds of things. I can't even crochet or knit, though, so I'd never be able to do amigurumi.

And 100% understandable, don't worry.

Daddy Issues, a personality aspect found in every cosplayer.

I love this story because it confirms so much about this bizarre community.

>finished painting prop at 12 midnight before leaving for a convention
>seal it
>come back in 2 hours to find the paint bubbled and peeled off from the sealant
>cry and take pictures of the corpse
we were able to fix it after getting home but that's been my worst so far, I'm pretty blessed.
My friends however have been backstabbed by the same person I hate, one going so far as to ruin my friend Dana's prop after she entrusted it to someone else. That someone else decided that the hated person would be a good person to transport the prop! It showed up at Dana's hotel door broken. I felt so bad for her..

>>7025634
I've had some experiences with guys like that...
Drives my anxiety up the wall too. :<
I'm sorry anon! I really hope it doesn't get pushed any further, some people really can't take a hint or have decency.

>>7025538
because you posted it and it's not funny

>>7025443
You know what? My abusive mother stole my 25K college fund for a new 4 car garage and kitchen remodel.
Me not reporting her to the IRS or fighting it in court doesn't make me a doormat. This girl isn't a doormat either.
Get the fuck over yourself if you honestly can't understand that some things AREN'T WORTH THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ENERGY TO PURSUE.

the two decent-looking ones went to my uni, but I haven't heard so much as a peep from them
the landwhale moved across the country
it's been six years, and life's been pretty good so far
I even helped organize an anime club at my uni and have been keeping it good for three years now

>>7023068
SHHHH! You know we're not supposed to say anything publically until they're in the camps!

Poor Orange, never got to put his D into a Squirt Psycho. One of a time life chance and then this... I hope that at least your brother got over / improved his anxiety. Thanks for the good read.

>>7025683

I'm sorry, but now I can't help but imagine landwhale as this.

>>7025452
Where is everyone getting ~12 years from? Swan Lake was released in the late 2000s, right?

>>7025603
holy shit... Just.. I am never sharing a room with anyone I don't know. Ever. Fuck that man.

>>7025836
Yeah, 2008. Anon's probably around 20 now.

Damn, been a while since we got a good long story.

Bumping for more?

>>7025843
Thanks for clearing that up. I was imagining anon as in their 30s now, or that she was buying lolita with her own money when she was 11 or something.

I don't think Meta even shipped overseas 12 years ago.

>>7023083
I would like to confess that I found that adorable.

>>7024295
I have a somewhat similar story.

>be a few years ago
>find beautiful pink princess-type dress among the wedding dresses, clearly not a wedding dress, somehow only costs $45
>buy that shit
>plan to wear it to a con, just to be a princess for a day, because secretly I'm really into being girly when my friends aren't around
>two days before con, at around noon, drunk-as-fuck uncle trips and spills entire bottle of beer on dress, right in front, looks awful.
>cleaning process is ridiculously expensive, has to be dry-cleaned, estimated to be around $50 /$60 by dry-cleaning guy.
>uncle refuses to pay it, because it was an accident, parents do nothing about it, say that it's my responsibility, I should have hidden it better or something?
>want to flip tables
>stressed out as fuck over it night before we leave for con, try to take matters into my own hands, but handwashing it only waters down the stain and spreads it out (but at least it doesn't smell like beer now)
>cry all night, I was so excited to have something nice like that, because I didn't come across money often then and my parents wouldn't let me have a normal job for fear that I would be raped or something ridiculous like that.
>still at parents' house, still has stain, they won't let me have it because it's ruined
>a few months ago, visited my parents, tried to sneak the dress out to have it cleaned finally, found out that they threw it out because of the stain, called it garbage
>didn't cry, just pissed off now, let my anger kind of simmer, I'm the worst kind of hurt over it.
>haven't been able to find or make a dress nearly as beautiful as that one, don't think I ever will...

>>7025873
Oh anon, that's horrible.
I hope your heart can heal in time, please don't let yourself become too bitter. I hope one day you can find something you love as much.

What the fuck is up with all the shitty parents?

>>7025916
Those with good parents don't have horror (or otherwise) stories to tell.
So you just the shit ones and assume there's far more than there actually is.

There was a story in one of these theads about about a girl who laid Sugary Carnival out on her bed before selling it (at the height of its popularity) and some house guests came over and her mother gave the dress away to some rude ass little girl who wanted it.

Makes me RAGE.

>>7025873
Tell your parents to fuck themselves and buy you a new damn dress. Do you remember the brand/designer/whatever? I would rage forever. Don't let them walk all over you when you spent your own money on something nice for yourself.

>>7023068
I bet you're not even attractive.

>>7025945
I feel like throwing up. Why do people think its okay to give away other people's shit?

>>7025945
Oh my god, I don't even like Sugary Carnival but what the fuck why do people do this shit? That makes me so mad.

>>7025620
>tfw actual aspie and people ask you why you're such an overly well behaved tightass

My mom is pretty decent at leaving my shit alone, but her problem is she can't say no to her mother, who loves to go through my shit.

>can't really stop them so end up just having to supervise and try to grab stuff
>end up losing a lot of doll parts I was customizing (she claimed they were broken) plus a lot of craft stuff and jewelry
>have to go through the trash bags the next day, after rain and summer heat made them start to mold
>find nearly ruined birth certificate, antique jewelry inherited from great grandma, just one gold earring from a pair given to me by my late cousin
>some bags apparently taken by grandma so I couldn't take my stuff back
>she keeps trying to force me to give my vintage toy collection to Goodwill, and my cosplays to the church's dressup box
>takes semi-valuable vintage Breyer horses I was gonna give to younger cousin and tries to sell the, at a church flea market for $1 each
>gives half my lolita accessories/jewelry to another cousins 3 year old demonspawn
>any time I get mad at her for this she acts like it was an episode of Hoarders
>"IT WAS VOR YOUR OWN GOOD ANON! YOU NEED TO LET GOOOOO"

wow.
i am so glad i was raised by my grandparents. They never pulled any of that awful "I'm the gaurdian!!!!" bullshit. Instead they let me fuck up and didn't try to help me squirm my way out of the consequences instead of learning from them.
Like that time i got a bloody nose from trying to roller skate in the house without grandma's permission.
Served past me right, that little shit.

>Have one asian "friend"
>Thinks all asians are superior to every race
>Makes racist comments towards others, makes fun of other races

>Always tries to speak japanese, even though she is chinese. Always calls everyone "-san" or "-chan", names all of her stuff, like her laptop is named "Ita-kun", and tries to act "kawaii"

>fucking grape jelly and juice all over dolls, clothes, kid, everywhere
>end up having to repaint all those dolls because couldn't get the stickyness off their faces

Before someone gets on me for calling this kid a demonspawn, understand she's absolutely spoiled nuts. Kid didn't have a good early childhood and then was tossed into my overly smothering family, and was given crazy amounts of attention to make up for it. She will steal food or anything interesting right out of your hand and just smile like she's the cutest damn thing and knows you can't do shit about it.

>>7023084
>>7023110
Has there ever been a case of murder/dismemberment/kidnapping in an anime convention?

>>7025993
I wasn't. I had a collection, on shelves, craft supplies in big bins or boxes, and flattened toy packaging in the closet in case I wanted to resell. It was a fuckload of stuff and maybe looked messy but it wasn't dirty, didn't have stuff overflowing, didn't get in the way of everyday life and I could find shit easily. I know what real hoarding looks like after having to clean out houses of passed relatives, its disgusting and filthy and ruins lives.

Alright /cgl/ I've had a story that I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while... Here goes
>Be 12
>Love anime kawaii desuuu yaoi bois
>recently had a move to an area you don't know jack squat about, so a fresh new start
>too lazy to watch an anime through and through
>2edgy4u and luv kawaii ugu sugoi yaoi, so draws FreddyxJason yaoi
>Thinks its literally the best shit ever
>Be going to first con soon
>Draws as much kawaii des yaoi as I possibly could
>Meet up with small group at con, me being the youngest out of all of 'em
Oh god... I can't even...
Lets call me Square, and one of the girls in my group Triangle, another one being Circle, and the last one being Rectangle
> "Hey Square-kuuuuuunnnn!~ I have somethign to show youuuuuuuu~"
> "What is it, Rectangle-sama?"
>Rectangle pulls out fucking duct tape, as well as a folder
> "We started a deviant art where we can put all of our artz and yaoi on, Square-kun! we're gonna put our yaoi all around to advertise it so we can get famous"

>Proceed to literally duct tape all of our shitty yaoi on the walls, people giving us weird glances

Cont...

>Some guy dressed as Snake approches us, each of us dressed as someone from either Lucky Star or as our kawaii ocs
>"Uhm... What is this?"
>I get to shy to talk, but Circle is all into this shit
>"IT'S OWR ADVERTIZMENT FOR OUR KAWAII NEW DEVINT ART PAGE! WE DARAW YAOI AND KAWAII ANIME CHARACTERS"
>the guy gives an awkward laugh and starts backing away
>Circle looks over to me and snatches a page of hawt JasonxFreddy yaoi out of my hands, shoving it in the guy's face
>"SEE? MY FRIEND CIRCLE-KUN DREW THIS, SHE SO GOOD AT IT RITE?"
>Guy gently takes page, nods, and nopes the fuck out
>We continue on with taping this bullshit on the walls, as well as everything else in the con
>Leave con an hour or two early because Rectangle tummy hurts oh no :(((((
>Looks back on this now...


To be honest, I think I still have some pages lying around although this shit was around 6-7ish years ago... I look back on this almost every single fucking day and cringe to myself... Don't know what the fuck happened to the rest of 'em, but after that con I smartened up, and avoid yaoi with a burning passion.

>>7026020
*Too

>>7026005
Well, there WAS that one dude who ended up on the news that just happened to be a cosplayer. The news report kept trying to avoid using the word "cosplay", too, saying he "made costumes for a living".

He like kidnapped and killed somebody or something,

>>7026014
>>7026020
And for your viewing pleasure.... Thank my OCD for stll having this.

>>7026033

>>7026005
I have a close-call sort of situation, if you'd like to hear it.

>first time attending MomoCon
>went with friends
>Dealer's room, one friend went off on his own, other friend found people he knew, sort of? ditched me
>turn around after a minute to find that I'm alone
>I had severe social anxiety as a child and am still trying to get over it; being by myself is terrifying to me
>decide to play it cool, wander around by myself, look at wares, etc.
>huge buff guy in a wheelchair appears, asks me if I'm alone
>tell him I'm looking for my friends (oshit, bad idea)
>tells me that he's looking for his friends, too, and that maybe we should look together, introduces himself and starts following me, talks briefly about dirtier versions of passing cosplays that he's seen
>keeps trying to lead me to emergency exits, I'm scared shitless but don't want to make accusations just in case he's actually a cripple and actually looking for his friends
>first emergency exit we pass is guarded by staff
>continue wandering, heart begins to pound more, breathing becomes difficult
>can't stop thinking to myself that he's huge, I'm tiny and feeble and just a little over 90 lbs, terror setting in, getting dizzy and paranoid, bad combination
>I went a way he didn't want, he grabs my arm, tightly, and it hurts. I'm trying to control a panic attack, badly, but he doesn't seem to notice
>tells me that he thinks his friends went up the escalator, help him go upstairs

>>7026001
That's bullshit. Someone needs to teach that kid some manners. I'd slap the hands of any child who dared snatched something away from me.

>>7026063
>we wander around until we find the escalator, he says, "There it is. Now we can leave."
>hands are shaking way out of control, oh god I'm going to get killed, need to get my shit out of here
>"Actually, I just saw my friends over there, and they're leaving. I have to go before I lose them in the crowd!"
>start speedwalking off, hear him calling me, telling me he hasn't found his friends, louder, louder...
>start running my ass off, no particular idea where the hell I'm going
>run aimlessly around dealer's room for about twenty minutes, turn around to see if he's still following me
>bump into my friend
>just kind of hold onto him and cry for a while, don't know what to say except "I was so scared" and "I thought he was going to kill me"
>friend thinks I'm being overdramatic, is an ass about it
>feel like a serious dumbass

>>7025993
I could fit all the stuff this person listed in my room and still have PLENTY of room.

Her grandmother's a cunt and should be sued.

>>7026067
Shoulda done this to him. (Pic Related) I would have, cripple or not.

>>7026085
How are his arms so strong if he's crippled?

>>7026066
It's not the kid, it's the fucking grandma who has no respect for other people's things. How was the kid going to know those dolls weren't your average plaything?

Again, Grandma needs to be taught a lesson.

>>7026088
im pretty sure being in a wheelchair indicates his cripped portion are his legs. and pushing yourself around in a chair after a while can probably make some strong arms

>>7026085
Unfortunately, the dealer's room was at the very bottom floor, and I was (and still am) almost completely lacking in arm strength...
>>7026091
That would be my guess. The thing is that his everything was buff, including his legs.

Now that I think about it, he looked a little bit like Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2, except just a little bit more muscled...

>>7026094
So if he was fit why didn't you just let him rape you?

>>7026102
I...laughed way too hard at that...

>>7026090
OP here. Kid is learning from grandma, since thats who she spends the most time with. Grandma regularly buys things for people the. Goes "Oh youre not using this anymore" and takes it to give to someone else. Lost all my nice toys as a kid because she took them to give to my younger cousins who trashed them, before I was even out of the age to play with the things. I had a huuuuge collection of Kitchen Littles, which were the same quality as those tiny Japanese collectible food blindbox things, and she gave them to my cousins who were about 4 at the time. These were like, tiny ice cubes that came out of the fridge dispenser, little deli meats with plastic wrap, bread in wrappers, bags of chips that a tually had tiny chips inside, etc. Half of it got chewed on or swallowed, or just thrown out because my grandma has this hatred against tiny parts even if they're clearly part of something.

>>7025978
>>7026001
jfc don't tell me you're of russian/ukrainian/ex-soviet country descent anon

this is sounding disconcertingly similar to the community I grew up in

>>7026137
Tell your grandma to get ready for the smackdown of her life.

Haha, of course, I'm only kidding, but you must be REALLY glad to not have to live with her anymore.

>>7023068
Over the edge brah

These stories.

>oh shit he's huge and I'm small I could never get away from him if he's planning on killing and eating me

I'm a big, broad-shouldered guy. My personal spaghetti factor just tripled.

Fuck.

>>7026277
Wow, your grandma is a miserable cunt.

>>7026277
Sounds exactly like my mom. Visits uninvited multiple times during the week and constantly complains that her kids never call, our places are filthy, look at all that junk food, how can we live like this, etc.

And she'll do the same thing, just try to give my stuff away, except she'll BRING the people to my place, also uninvited, and go "wow, anon, you're an adult, looks at all these stuffed toys, you should give them to -current child visitor-;" purposufully right in front of the kid and her parents, and it's either buck up and give the kids my stuff or risk looking like a selfish toy hoarding baby. Plus annoying fucking kid 1/3 of the time who throws a fit because brat. She tried to give my cat to one of her coworker's hyperactive granddaughters.
I collect Nyanko plushies, btw, since around high school when I got my first job. Half of my collection is gone out of guilt, might end up just selling the rest.

Once she tried to bring some slightly younger cousins and her coworkers daughters to "shop" for prom dresses, at my apartment. I don't wear sweet, so I've never had the problem of "anon, give this to little girl A" but my wardrobe is entirely classic, and my mother tried so hard to coax me into, not selling, but GIVING these girls my dresses for their proms. "Wouldn't it be nice, anon? Don't be selfish, anon. Your place is full of this shit anon, make some room." I felt relieved when one of the girls said something like "too long, I want a sexy dress" and then my mother "that's fine! Anon sews! She can just cut it the way you like, right anon?" Nope.jpg.

I installed a lock on my bedroom door and leave everything of importance in there. It's sad, because I feel like somewhere deep down, she really does mean well, but my apartment is not a Goodwill. Haven't had these problems since I installed that lock, though. Now she just comes over to complain about my boyfriend.

>>7026323
Disown her and change your name.

Just kidding, but man these stories are making me angry.

You should lecture them and bring cosplayers to her house so they can raid her shit instead.

"OH, THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MY COSPLAY!"
"B-but, those are my earrings. They were expensive..."
"Maybe you shouldn't have spent so much money on them if you were only going to wear them a few times. Sheesh, you're so selfish! I'm young and can use them more than you."


See how that bitch likes it.

>>7026323
>>7026338
Wow I mean really. These stories are getting ridiculous.

If my mom shows up uninvited and gets all bitchy I call her on it and tell her she should leave. I'm a fucking adult with my own place now. She basically just hounds me to get a girlfriend (which I don't really want atm) and start a family.

When she does this I just tell her to go and she does. I love my mom but seriously, just stop.

>>7026271
ah my bad, it reads a lot like the soviet REPOSSESS EVERYTHING mentality so I jumped to conclusions

still, my genuine condolences for your situation
family or not, people have no right to do that to things you bought with your money or that were gifted to you by someone else

>>7026033
>>7026037
xD That is so awful, I'm going to piss myself.

>>7025355
>>7025372

Are you people fucking retarded? Not all of us go around cussing out our parents and screaming,"I HATE YOU, MOM!" whenever we don't get our way. Sorry that we're not disrespectful little shits. I would have done the same thing in OPs case. Sometimes, you just have to live with it. It's your fucking parents, you ungrateful cunts. You're not going to call the police on them and cause an even bigger rift for a fucking dress (even if it was expensive).

>>7026031

sauce?

These stories about all of these horrible parents and grandparents just blow my mind. Why do people think this is okay to do? Can I come to all of yall's parents/grandparents house and punch them in the tits?

And I hate children so much and hearing about how these young kids getting away with this shit enrages me even more. Getting their gross Cheeto hands on all of that burando.

I'm actually glad your mother did the right thing. Why would you dress up like a little girl? Meta Swan is rather a childish print.

>>7025397
I know a guy who does the exact opposite, he plays his autism card like a fiddle and wonders why people make fun of him.

>"I went to a special school!"
>"UM. Don't say the word 'retard'! It hurts my feelings, since I have autism! I went to a special school!"

All he does is sit at home and spends all his money on vidya, since girls are "mean". They're apparently mean because one got him fired. He had a crush on a girl he worked with at KFC and since she didn't say goodbye to him that day, he hopped in his car and sped up to get to her. While on the bridge, he got too close to her to wave goodbye and almost hit her car. He kept following her to her home and she got scared and called the cops.

He's not unattractive at all, but he's just awkward as all fuck. He talks about how porn is how all women should be, that he loves ass and wants to have anal sex with a woman, etc. He's just a giant man-child. He's in love with Alodia and if you say anything bad about her, you better watch out.

>>7026543
I think you're gonna get shit for that, bro.

Sounds like your classic fedora.

>Swan Lake (in ivory or black) one of my biggest dream dresses

I'm so glad my parents like lolita and think it's cute. My mom especially is fascinated by the fashion and knows the difference between high and low quality dresses. I think she's starting to recognize specific brands, too.

>>7026527
Please shut the fuck up like you know what your talking about and stop generalizing an entire group of individuals based on the actions of others

>>7025603
Why couldn't I have an older sister to take me to conventions?

Wow. Reading this thread has confirmed just about everything I suspected about cosplayers. You're all a bunch of self-absorbed cunts with victim complexes.
And the shit you're spewing about people with disabilities is absolutely fucking disgusting.

>>7026642
There's always that one person who leaves a comment like this.

>>7026642
cry more faggot

>>7026579
I know a milder sort of version of this.

He's really good looking and you could only tell he had aspergers when we were in school (why do parents of difficult children make them wear such retard clothes?!). Now we're adults he just seems eccentric.

But he'll use it to try to pick up chicks.
> because of my aspergers I've never really been close with a girl, like you GIRL #2
> you're the only one that understands me, GIRL #3

Except he's still struggling with his maturity. I heard he managed to get his puppydog act to work recently but when she tried to give him a blowjob he couldn't stop laughing.

>>7026653
maybe because it's true?

What? I'm actually laughing from that.

>>7025443

When I lived with my mother, I had my shit stolen, my nose broken, my clothes thrown out and four years of wages stolen from me.

I could go to court, but I'm too busy letting my mother dig herself into a shithole via her own bad behavior, while I'm safely two states away.

Sometimes it's best to sit back and let what goes around come around.

>>7026606
Older close female friend? I take both my 15 year old cousin and a friend's 14 year old daughter to cons because they're both like little sisters to me, and I'm old enough, been to a lot of cons and apparently threatening-looking enough to keep them safe while there.

"Cosplaying nurses"? From a certain series or what? Because if they were wearing miniskirts and tight v neck tops with red crosses on them, they were not cosplaying a real nurse, they were cosplaying porn actresses or Halloween sluts. I'm not saying that makes what the guy did right, but don't imply that shit is normal for a real nurse.

>>7027080
I assumed it was the ones from Silent Hill...?

>>7026543
Bait? Shit posting? I can't tell, BUT STOP.
So not acceptable what her mother did!

Enjoy your breast cancer.

I just posted this to facebook after reading through everything here and wondering if I was ever really bad

I kind of wish I never remembered, honestly

Oh god it'll be just my luck if anyone here knows who I was.

>>7027272
Anon meant an "in". You know, a way to project yourself into something. You know the guy who owns the place, you have an "in".

>>7027335
>just posted this to facebook

>that text syntax

>>7027358

Yeahh, I know, it's... pretty awful to look at.

I'm taking a long hard look at my life as it is. Text style shall be included.

I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a long one, sorry for any inconveniences.

The time was Christmas 2012/New Year's 2013.

I was in the Homestuck fandom at the time, and other local Homestucks would hold meet-ups ALL THE TIME. I mean, they still do, but around that time was when I went to a lot of them.

This being a Homestuck story, you can tell it's going to go south fast.

I had decided recently that my life sucked and I needed to get out more, this being after the death of a close family member and all and I was having some deep reflection time. So I quickly made friends with a few of the people I would be meeting up with and felt my life really starting to get on track.

My little brother, about 7, who we'll call Eridan, would read Homestuck with me a lot and adored Eridan. (He really liked how Eridan was a wizard and generally like Harry Potter, who is his next biggest thing to fan over.) So after talking it over with my mom, she let me take him to Holiday!stuck meetup nearby (this was closer to Christmas, but really just a day or two after it.)

It took place in a park at a gazebo, and we were one of the first ones to arrive. These types of events are always potlucks, so I brought along a few cases of cola and some bags of chips, thinking it'd last for the 120+ people coming. Which is a lot for a cosplay meet-up at a park, but it's Homestuck.

>>7027388

The host, a new friend I talked to on facebook and someone we'll call John, was cosplaying John respectively. I was actually cosplaying human Vriska and was doing pretty well for a human version if I say so myself, so she seemed pretty happy to meet me. (Girl cosplaying the character John. I'm sorry if this is confusing. Damn Homestuck; you can tell I don't really appreciate the fandom much anymore.) She also adored my little brother and thought his closet cosplay of Eridan was cute. He was even using hipster glasses and Harry Potter wands, to make it cuter.

Everything went well as me and my brother chatted with more people as they came along. I have some pretty nasty social anxiety, so I was surprised with how well I was doing in such a crowd. And then Sollux showed up.

Her cosplay was awful. I'm just going to say that now. Even for casual meet-up at the park status, it was... awful. She was trying too hard when she shouldn't have. Her facepaint, which looked like the type you'd buy at a cheap halloween store, was smeared and greasy and she didn't even look like she tried to seal it with anything. She tried to darken her eyebrows to match her far too shiny and cheap wig, and what little makeup she tried to use was smudged from the greasy facepaint. Her horns were literally just paperclips. Just.. paperclips. She had them sticking straight up out of the wig. At least she painted them. She also had some god awful old-school 3D glasses made out of paper. For some reason she decided to wear a clown nose. She didn't seem to be too much of a hambeast either, although the incredibly large sweater she was wearing did seem to look almost fitting on her frame.

>>7027390

Okay, wow, this is going to be incredibly long. I'll keep posting anyways for anyone who's interested.

After gushing over how cute of (insert random AU-stuck that I can't even remember)-Eridan my brother made. When I said he was just Eridan, that seemed to rain on her parade and made her shut up with all her gushing. She carried on like nothing happened though, and asked me if I wondered why she was wearing a clown nose. I humored her and asked why, and she revealed she was a Rudolph!Sollux.
I smiled and agreed, trying to humor her since I was new and didn't wanna get on the bad side of anyone. Even though I thought she looked fucking ridiculous. She actually happened to bring up that she was new too when we got back on track to a semi-normal conversation, and I was happy to not feel so alone here then. Since she was new, I brought her over to talk to John, and started up a conversation between them before deciding I would let them be. I was gushing a bit on the inside over hopefully making friends and getting them to like each other and then having a fairy tale princess fantasy over possibly having a great group of friends. If only.
My brother seemed really shy as he'd been kind of quiet while I was talking to John and Sollux. He was really just flustered that so many people were interested in something he liked, so after sitting with him for a few moments in the gazebo with a drink, he was pretty calm. Another person came up to me, this one was cosplaying Dave so respectively he's going to be called Dave.

>>7027395

Aww man, the last one didn't double space. Damn. I'll try to make this story shorter, but idk if I'll be able to.

After hitting off a conversation, I realized he'd been another person I talked to on facebook as well. He seemed to adore my brother and was probably great with kids outside of cosplay, since he got Eridan to open up right away. I felt instantly at ease and new I'd made a new friend. Until Sollux saw me talking to Dave.

She broke away from John just to interrupt a conversation I was having with this person. She started going off immediately about how she shipped Dave and Sollux because Sollux could make software for Dave to make beautiful music on and it was a perfect headcanon. Everyone but her seemed confused. Even people overhearing. I mean, there were some weird headcanons floating around but sheesh. She actually continued to talk on about her headcanons and how the trolls having tentacle dicks were one of them (which was a common headcanon and it's gross.) She tried to show Dave porn of her OTP with tentacledicks and all and he just walked away. I would've laughed if I wasn't desperate to make friends.

>>7027400

I felt kind of bad for Dave having to look at that so I asked Sollux if she'd watch over my brother for a few minutes and show him some of her clean drawings since she seemed to draw a lot. Truth be told her art didn't look too terribly bad, she just seemed to like to draw tentadicks. She seemed enthused to spend time alone with my brother and didn't seem at all affected about scarring someone with her art (I'm just being dramatic) and went off for Dave.

He said he was okay, but had a weird feeling. He couldn't describe it but he just wanted to chill away from the gazebo, so I said I understood. I asked him if he'd be willing to head over to the playground with me and Eridan and he seemed okay with it, so I went over to the gazebo to go get him. Problem is, my brother was gone. And so was Sollux.

>>7027404

I immediately started to freak out, my anxiety heading to my brain quickly, and looked for John. I asked her if she'd seen Sollux but she didn't. I asked people around where Sollux had been and they said they saw her head in a certain direction, so I immediately headed for it. I thought I saw a glimpse of her heading into a bathroom so I took a chance and went for it.

Once inside, I started calling out Eridan's name, freaking the fuck out just a bit. I see a stall door open and there's Sollux. "Oh, your brother needed to go to the bathroom and he couldn't wait for you, so I decided to take him. It was probably all the soda you gave him."

I was pissed. I shoved her aside, probably into the wall I didn't really care, and shut the stall door behind me. My brother still needed to piss, so I was at least going to stay by him while he did it. When I opened the stall door, Sollux was at least gone from the bathroom. We cleaned up and my brother said to not worry. I was still on-edge but he didn't want me to worry. I still can't tell if he thought I was just being overly anxious or that she was actually nice, but, I tried to calm down.

>>7027409
Go take your trash autism story to the homefaggots general thread, thanks

>>7027426

Don't say that, you might scare them off.

Or make them vengeful. I hear homestucks have connections.

This thread kind of derailed. I think the Homestuck got scared off, but at least they were posting something.

Anyone have any other stories?

>>7027409
I'm interested in your story.

>>7027464
Go to the homefag thread then.

They won't do shit, except throw dish soap in the fountains at otakon as a sign of their "rebellion"

>>7027404
>I asked someone I was generally turned off from and wary of to watch my little brother
>She takes care of my brother by taking him to the restroom when he needed to go
>HOW FUCKING DARE SHE I PUSH HER INTO A WALL

...akay, bro. You're the one who sounds like the terrible sibling here.

Way to go for insulting them and then calling them a terrible sibling.

I'm sure that'll bring them back.

>>7026088
You're a fucking idiot.

>Book a room for a con for the first time
>Everyone rooming with me agrees that I'm guaranteed to get a bed since I'm technically paying for it and anything stupid they do is on my ass
>Hotel screws up, gives us a king size instead of a double
>"Oh it's okay Anon, you'll still get the bed. I mean you'll have to share it with some of us and everything but you don't mind, do you?"
>The main people I'd have to share it with are girls, but it's not like we're attracted to each other and I'm pretty sure two are lesbians
>"Yeah, it's fine."
>Come up with a plan for who gets to use the bed what night
>When the con comes around they all take the bed, refuse to share it with me because "EW BONERS GROSS EW YOU'RE GONNA TOUCH US WITH YOUR BONERS"
>Rooming with them again
>Made sure it's a double bed this time
>One makes it sound like they're getting a bed no matter what, even if I don't get one
>Only rooming with them because I know they can pay and don't break shit, bring people up or try to have sex while everyone's trying to sleep.

Still really fucking annoying though.

>>7026604
I ended up finding Swan Lake in ivory and it is my favorite dress I own. I actually prefer it to the pink colorway, maybe just because my tastes have changed through the years. I was upset about the Goodwill thing at first too, but I realized the dress was already ruined, and there's probably some little girl living in unfortunate means who got a pretty skirt for around $5. The theft still kind of irks me, but the donation doesn't.

I'm also laughing at anons calling me a doormat. I'm not going to go into the specifics of my relationship with my mother, because you wouldn't care anyways. Maybe in that one specific instance I was a doormat, but when you live with an abusive parent, you learn to pick your battles.

>>7027409
PLEASE CONTINUE. I was very interested and I happen to love long stories. ;-;
Please, don't be scared.. Ignore cunts~

>>7027688
dude, wtf. that's not cool. i'd tell them to not act like BITCHES.

>>7027690
Nope, you're still a doormat. Enjoy everyone taking your shit because you are the type of person that no one feels badly about stealing from.

>>7027690
Good for you, sweet girl! :)
Reading that made me happy afterwards.
And don't listen to anyone else, because they don't know you or your life.

>>7027690
What >>7027698 said. Abusive parents are different from other people who give you shit because they're you're parents, doesn't make you a doormat because you don't handle things the way other people would (or think they would).

>>7025719
that's rough buddy

>>7027696
I would have gotten more upset if not for one bailing me out when the hotel hit me with some hidden fee and I was broke at the time

>>7027746
I'd have asked her if she knows the definition of sexual harassment.

>>7027751
I've noticed that I have a bad record of attracting girls with problems. Is it because I'm an average-looking guy who likes things that attract girls with problems?

>>7027758

Are you a nice guy? Because I have the same problem, I keep attracting girls who are mentally ill usually because I'm the only one that puts up with their shit for a long time.

>>7027758
Basically, dude. Don't worry, you'll get a sane cutie eventually. You just have to go through the crazies first.
I'm a chick and have had this problem with men... It's rather annoying.

>>7027765
Dude, don't put up with their shit! Just DON'T.

>>7027765
I wouldn't call myself a "nice guy" because I hate that term, but I generally try to be polite even with crazy girls. Except for one I couldn't get to leave me alone and blocking her would start a shitton of drama, so I just annoyed her away by making fun of her precious homestuck.

>>7027766
Aw, damnit. I've just noticed I keep running into girls who will see I enjoy Doctor Who/Anime/Pokemon/Comics/Ect, be all "OMG UR SO CUTE" and be obnoxious.

>>7027690
Fuck everyone who said you should have called the cops. I had an abusive stepmother who would pull crazy stunts and take my things all the time. My father traveled a lot, and even when I told him, it didn't really resonate. I'm pretty sure my stepmother told him I was lying about everything. Did I call the cops when she stole my shit? Fuck no. I called the cops when she beat me and left me with a black eye. No place for her or my father to squirm out of it then.

Now I'm living on my own and neither of them are in my life. I'm glad all the anons who trashed you lived in such functional households, but they all need to shut the fuck up. They have no idea what living in that kind of environment does to a person, especially when they are young.

You sound really well adjusted and not ridiculously resentful too, which I can't really say for myself. I'm happy for you anon, I really am.

>>7027765
You're not a nice guy. You're an enabler. There is a reason no one else puts up with their shit.

>>7027776
A crack house sleeping with three different guys a week does not qualify as stable

>>7026606

> mfw I'm that older sister

Me and my bro have the same age difference as Horror Story anon and Orange. I don't know what the fuck I would do if something like Apple came along... I'd like to think I'll kick her weeaboo arse to next week, but in reality, I would probably just take my brother and run.

>>7027758
>>7027774
It's not you. It's that conventions attract some of the most hilariously desperate people out there. To make matters worse, these people are usually the kind who has very shallow ideals in a partner, specifically they have to look "good" (as in, not ugly) and like the same stuff as them. They're usually not interested in a meaningful connection or chemistry, just "OH MY GOD THEY LOVE DR WHO TOO! THEY MUST BE THE ONE!"

Has anyone screencapped these yet?

bump for moar

>>7028282
This is true, I've posted in threads like this before about the crazy bitches that used to cling to my bf (both before and during our relationship), because he has ~kawaii~ hobbies and is a decent person (and is asian, though he looks definitely more rugged-warrior than hawt bishie)

He still talks to us, and we're hoping to hook him up with a bad weaboo we know. I have more stories, if anyone's interested?

>>7029109

I'm interested in more

>>7029109
Hell yeah

>>7027828
Lol, anon.

I'm actually living in a nice apartment with one roommate, have a great internship and I'm working on my graduate degree. I go to therapy every week because I still have issues to work through, but on the surface I'm completely normal.

Well, other than the fact that I cosplay.

>>7029085

He sounds like Hitoshi from Nyan Neko Sugar Girls.

Oh, well, this is awkward but after talking to the friend, I had some facts mixed up.
She didn't put J in a chokehold, but when she went over to get him to stop, he more or less clung to her sobbing and refused to let her go until she was needed.

Sorry about that!
