What is something you thought only happened in movies until it actually happened to you?

r/

Like a dramatic breakup in the rain, meeting someone randomly on vacation. Or a best friend betrayal you’d swear was out of a soap opera.

    I watched as someone slipped on a banana peel.

    Got cheated on by my ex and my best friend. We were still together at the time and she was still hanging out with me like nothing was wrong. I had no idea how dirty they were being behind my back. I cut them both off the moment I found out.

    We were driving home from disc golfing on a really hot summer day. I was chilling, AC on, and look in my rear view at a light.

    The biggest god damned hornet I’ve ever seen was in the rear view mirror hovering. Glaring at me in the mirror.

    It was like a sitcom. If I hadn’t been in traffic and could have pulled over, I would have but I had to keep my cool. So I screamed bloody murder, woke up my spouse, rolled down the windows and blasted the ac. I found a big ole dead hornet back there when we got home.

    Love at first sight. Was at a dance, and a guy couldn’t take the hint I wasn’t interested. Another guy walked up and asked me to dance, and gave me an out from the awkward situation. I found him attractive and as we started talking I immediately knew he was someone special. We’re married now.

    I fell in love at first sight. We went on our first date less than 24 hours after we met and as I was walking home, I thought ‘I’m going to marry this man’. Nearly five years later and tonight we’ve just received our wedding album proofs from the photographer. So yes, I did marry that man.

    Being used to make someone else jealous.

    I was just getting to know this group of friends of like 20 people. I was generally on good terms with everyone and i got the invite to a party on the weekend from one of the guys.

    Keep in mind, I did not have a fling or any flirty behaviour with this guy at all. I showed up separate from him and he hovered me during the night but I noticed a lot of people were really stand offish with me. And it wasn’t until I saw his ex girlfriend come in, lock eyes with him and then run off that I realized he was spinning a story about me.

    Super spontaneous sex where the man just slips right in as if it’s nothing

    My water broke spectacularly when I was very pregnant and got up to go to the bathroom

    A man confessed his love, that he had had for years for me, in the rain, in the middle of the night, as we were outside together. All my friends said it sounded like a movie script. We did not end up together

    Have the legs knocked out from under you sending you up in the air then crashing down.

    went on a first date with a guy who was very open about how he had a 2 yo kid (but he and his ex have been broken up for a year ish now). the day after the date, he messaged me saying that if we were going to keep seeing each other, i needed to know his red flags, one of which was that his baby mama was currently pregnant with their second child (planned)

    I thought crying when you cut onions was 100% Hollywood until the first time I did it and my eyes were like, ze goggles they do nothing.

    I’m a paramedic from Texas and went to visit Ireland with a non-work friend. While in Ireland, I found out via social media that a coworker was staying in the same city. This happened to coincide with another (former) coworker who was from there returning home. And I had just missed a third coworker by about a week.

    We had multiple unplanned mini Central Texas EMS reunions across the Atlantic during a vacation I hadn’t told any of them about.
