'A man told me a secret he hadn't even told his wife – nothing could prepare me'

A woman has shared a horrifying confession she was told by a man she had never met before, which he said his wife is completely unaware of – she said it left her 'appalled'

A woman was left stunned when a stranger made a shocking confession to her that he hadn't even told his wife.

The woman, who posts to TikTok under the handle @pink_stars_aligned, admitted she was "f**king shocked" by what the man told her and even said his revelation left her "appalled".

She explained she was "minding her own business and enjoying life" in a steam room when a man entered, and they began to chat, initially about the weather.

He then told her he had to fly for work recently, but first needed to take his Audi to the garage. He planned to drop off his car at the garage, catch a taxi to the airport, and pick up his vehicle after his week-long trip.

His wife asked him to leave their kids at the childminder's on his way to the garage. At this point, the TikToker confessed she found the conversation "boring".

"Until, he says, he gets up in the morning, says goodbye to the wife, puts the two kids in the car - now these two kids are in child seats, so I'm guessing they're under the age of seven, maybe, he didn't elaborate. He puts them in child seats, puts his work stuff in, and he sets off," she said.

"Does what he needs to do, get his petrol, gets to the Audi garage, goes in, hands his keys over, and he's like, 'this light keeps coming on on my dash, so it's booked in for today, but I'm gonna be away for a week so there's no rush as long as it's done for next Monday when I'm back'."

Then, she reported that he got into the Uber to the airport, had breakfast and a coffee, and was "literally going up the stairs" when he got a call from the garage. He explained he thought, "That was quick", but reckoned he should answer it as they may have questions before they start working on his car.

"So he answers it, and the receptionist is like 'Hey, you dropped your Audi off with us a couple of hours ago' and he was like yeah, yeah, and she was like, 'So are you coming back today?" the woman said.

The man explained he was going away for work so wouldn't be able to go and pick his car up, but the receptionist was adamant. "We've just gone to get your car to take it into the garage to look at it, and there's two kids in the back," the receptionist added.

The woman was left gobsmacked, and became even more shocked when she found out the husband's solution to the mishap was to set up a conference call between the garage and the child-minder, telling them to figure it out themselves.

In disbelief, the TikToker recounted: "So I said, 'Oh my god, what did your wife say?'" The response she got was staggering. "He said, 'She doesn't know; I've not told her'."

She added with indignation: "I've not got kids, and I was appalled."

Trawling through the comments, one viewer quipped: "Them kids as adults sat round the dinner table at Christmas time will 100% say Remember when dad left us in the car at the garage whilst he went off on a plane."

Another person shared their anticipation of the story's direction, commenting: "My Brother in law works for Audi and this was the garage he works in he told me this story, I knew from the start where this was going!"
