A lot of the time, we think we fully understand someone or can see exactly how something will happen. Things can still surprise us in the universe when we least expect them to. The stories in this article have plot twists that were hard to imagine. They show that things are not always what they seem to be.

1. The only bad thing about our first date was that she had to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes and always came back with a little more makeup on. At the end of the night, the waiter frowned and told me, “Sir, you might want to follow her this time to see what’s going on there.” When I did, I was horrified to see that the bathroom was full of used napkins and makeup wipes that were all over the place. Cosmetics were strewn all over the counter without any order. I didn’t say anything that night because I was so focused on putting on her makeup, but I also didn’t ask her out again. I don’t know what was wrong with her, but she either did the same strange thing over and over again, or she was very nervous that night.

2. My brother Steve was engaged to a woman named Samantha, and the two of them have a son together. Samantha started locking her phone and coming home later one day, which are all signs that she was cheating. Then, one weekend, she told him she was staying in a motel about 250 miles away at a work event. Because Steve was getting suspicious, he called the room late at night, around 1 am. That person was our other brother… Not a known author/Reddit

3. A girl I knew in high school had a boyfriend. Her boyfriend was paid by a lesbian to hang out with the girl so that the lesbian could talk to her online as him. She found out about this after about two years. It must have been to make the girl like her or something. This is 808breakdown on Reddit.

4. A few years ago, my dad got married. I began to notice some odd Facebook connections I had with her, and it was only later that I found out my new stepmother was my ex-girlfriend’s second cousin. In this way, my ex-girlfriend is now legally related to me through marriage. Not a known author/Reddit
The doctors first thought I had Mono, then cat scratch fever, and finally meningitis. They were wrong, and my mom asked them to check for Leukemia in the end. It turned out to be both leukemia and cat scratch fever. Maciballz on Reddit

5. A college friend was the type of guy who would always talk about the women he had dated, whether it was in the past or about what he planned to do in the future. He was always good for a night out with the guys and a good time. He is very smart and will always tell you the truth about anything you ask. He just recently told me that he’s been hiding who he really is and is changing into a woman. [chemical_echo] on Reddit

6. I thought my grandfather was the most loving person in our family until my mom told me that he didn’t want her to have me when she got pregnant. He made my early years as a toddler very bad.

7. One of my best friends started going out with a man who said he was from South Africa. After about six months, we found out that he wasn’t even South African. He was lying about his accent and making up a whole story about his past. He turned out to be American and had grown up just a few towns over. She stayed with him for a while after this news came out. From melishka on Reddit

8. I never got why my real dad didn’t like my stepmom’s sister. Finally, my real mom told me that the sister of my stepmom dated someone and cheated on my dad. As a reward for her kindness, she introduced my stepmom to my dad. I have to keep all of this from my stepmom a secret. Written by youmeanthatwimpydeer on Reddit
