23 Stories That Sound Too Far-Fetched to be True
Add Cracked to Google

Last Wednesday, I got my usual order at Wendy’s, the $5 Biggie Bag with a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and Spicy Nuggets. And, when I reached into my four-piece nuggets I found five nuggets. One whole extra nugget just for me. Life sometimes just comes up All-Brian.

That might not be that impressive, but those are the kinds of things that happen to me. On Reddit, however, people shared true stories that sound too far-fetched to be true, and they’re way more exciting than my extra nugget, albeit not all that believable-sounding. Though to be clear, I was perfectly happy with an extra nugget.

itsthattedguy Зу ago Mine is when I was in high school I lived out in the countryside of Central Texas. I was just kind of bumbling around on the property and my mom's little chihuahua was tagging along. I heard a bird, saw a fast moving shadow, and threw my arm out, slapping a hawk out of the sky as it tried to get my mom's chihuahua. Cut my arm pretty good, but saved that little rat of a dog. The chihuahua went on to pass away at a smooth 19 years old.

peteschirmer Зу ago I took my VW to the dealer to get some work done. The service rep at the counter was so hung over (possibly still intoxicated) that he couldn't handle completing the paper work. Не told the tech that I was a VIP, specifically Britni Spears's brother and that he owed me a favor, so the work was on the house and they just never did any paperwork, didn't charge me a dime, did the work, handed me the keys, and away | drove.
Tokiw4 . Зу ago I won a two week cruise vacation for two in a contest. I never entered the contest. I was convinced I was being scammed. Even from the beaches of the Caribbean, | still wasn't convinced.

Зу ago Edited Зу ago I was having a really hard time passing a very large kidney stone, between 5-6 mm. 6 is too big to pass. After three weeks of episodic excruciating pain and bleeding, my doctor scheduled surgery to remove it. I wake up the morning of surgery without a lot of pain (pain came and went). I put on my slippers and was wearing long flannel PJ's. I get up from the TV and I feel like there's a pebble in my slipper. The stone dribbled out that morning. Had I not been wearing slippers that
Ser_Bron Зу ago I was walking around Downtown Cincinnati one afternoon, and I saw two blind guys who didn't even know each other, bump into each other on the sidewalk. Both apologized profusely, then they went on their way. Neither knowing the other was blind. Both were rocking the red tipped cane and dark glasses and everything. No dogs though.
Dtothe3 Зу ago A serious rivalry developed between my bearded dragon and the cat. The dragon trolls the cat and the cat butts in anytime the dragon is getting affection. The one day I had the dragon on my lap sat on the sofa so the cat started yowling and pacing in front of me. The dragon turns to the edge and takes a running leap landing on the cat. The cat bolts a couple of laps round the living room floor with the dragon somehow holding on. I avoid telling that story because I don't think anyone would ever

FightPhoe93 Зу ago I've only driven past the city of Welcome in Minnesota once in the past 40 years, it was in September of 2010. At the exact minute I reached the exit sign for Welcome, a 35 year old song came on the radio. The song? Welcome Back by John Sebastian. I felt like the universe was having a little fun with me that day. The odds of having that 35 year old song play just as I passed the city of the same name the only time I went there in 40 years is some crazy coincidence.
CrispyChickenArms Зу ago One time I ordered a triple burger from Wendy's and they gave me 4 patties. Still have never had 3 patties
moonjefferson Зу ago Not super wild, but still cool: I studied abroad in college, and in the first week abroad | met a fellow music student a little older than me. We chatted a little and he told me he played bass in a band. Не told me the name of the band and i thought wait a minute, that sounds familiar. I check my Spotify playlist and i found a song i had saved by that very band. Pretty cool coincidence, and i ended up starting a band with this guy and wrote some of the best music i

Less_Intern8567 . 3 Зу ago I fought with monkeys while on vacation. I was having breakfast outside and one monkey just jumped on the table and took an entire bag of bread.

Зу ago Once, while drunk, I jumped over a very big hole in the ground. My buddy filmed it on his early 2000s flip phone but the evidence has since been lost. I have since visited the same hole and it is at least 15 feet across, there is no way. But it happened.
