Plot Twist: These Surprise Endings Put M. Night Shyamalan To Shame
Life is kind of like a movie that switches genres way too often. One minute we’re living it up in a fun and flirty rom-com, the next we’re struggling to keep our sanity in an M. Night Shyamalan madhouse.
I mean, how else do you describe some of these absolutely insane plot twists that go on every day? From heart-wrenching to hilarious, here are 50 of the biggest plot twists Redditors have ever experienced.
1. All in the Family
In primary school, we had a WWI-memorial lesson and we were asked if anyone had any relatives who fought at the time. My friend brought in a picture of his great, great grandfather with his wife. A girl also brought in a picture of her great, great grandfather with his wife. This is when the dark truth came out.
The teacher said they looked similar. She put them side-by-side and looked shocked. We gathered around, and it was the same man, who had kept his two wives a secret. Both had been married privately. My classmates were cousins and didn’t even know.
2. Coming out Together
Parents split when I was little. Came out to my mom and stepdad when I was 13. Phoned my dad up when I was 16 because it was time I had to let him know. "Dad, I've got something to tell you." "Whatever it is, I love you." "I'm gay." "So am I." "
Whatt?"
3. Great Pain to Great Pleasure
I was transferred to a new division, and within a few months my new supervisor and I hated each other. She was incompetent and I spoke up when she screwed up.
She made my life the worst and finally decided to give me a job that she thought would make me quit. I packed up my stuff in a box and asked for help moving to my new desk.
She said she didn't have anyone to spare. I was carrying my box and didn't see a spill on the floor, ironically, just outside her office. I slipped, fell, and broke my knee.
I am on permanent disability, very legitimately, received a huge settlement, lifetime healthcare, retired early. She was demoted, then fired, partially due to the way she handled my case.
This all happened a few years ago. Recently when my husband and I were grocery shopping, I saw her in the store. I didn't want to see her, but my husband caught her eye. His response was hilarious. He gave her a big "thumbs up," and she looked absolutely furious. Honestly, I don't feel bad at all. Serves her right.
4. The Legend of the Legless Man
I work at a prison, and a lady flew all the way from Nigeria to visit her brother, who was supposed to be incarcerated at my unit. She speaks a little English, but we tried to explain to her that the inmate was not in the system anymore.
He must have been released. We call a supervisor, and it turns out he was released over five months before.
She walks away confused and comes back in with her husband, who speaks English much better. We tell him the scenario and he asks, “Well, where did he go? He doesn’t have any friends or family in the US.”
We told him we don’t know where he went, he was released and could be anywhere. The guy, obviously confused, says, “Well... he couldn’t have gone anywhere... because he doesn’t have any legs.”
So a legless Nigerian ex-felon with no ties is scooting around the US and no one knows where he is.
