“Please Share A Piece Of Gossip”—25+ People Delivered With Stories That Escalated Quickly

There’s something deeply healing about hearing someone else’s messy drama. Not your circus, not your monkeys, but please tell me how your cousin faked being a twin for six months to get out of work. That’s what Twitter user @talleyberrybaby tapped into when they posted this gem:

“I am having a stressful day please share a piece of gossip with me from your hometown, workplace, friend group, or family. Doesn’t even have to be current. It would really cheer me up.”

The internet understood the assignment. From small-town chaos to unhinged HR stories, people shared their juiciest, most absurd, and occasionally “should we call someone?” tales—and we rounded up the best ones. Prepare to feel better about your weird family.
