1657377485 | 1657383260 | t3_vv32xm | t5_2to41 | 12 | Kakashi4life1: TIFU by asking my girlfriend a question that made us break up
So me 15M and my 15F(ex) girlfriend were dating for about 2 and a half months now, and the day had been going smoothly and my friend was telling me how his girlfriend was always craving his attention so I decided to ask my girlfriend if she craves mine
Short answer is no, she said she only does sometimes, because she can manage by herself at times, and the more we talked the more sad I got Becuz I didn’t feel needed, and then she had brought up that actually I was to much for her, turns out she lied about a month into our relationship and she would hate when I would show her large amounts of love, and she told me she loved it but didn’t wanna hurt my feelings so she lied and manipulated me, and I got mad and lashed out at her because she had hid it from me (we also had other tiny arguments before and we had just got back from a break)
And after that I felt like she lied and manipulated me and she said that she was tired of the manipulating and arguing and that she loves me so she broke up with me, and now I’m single and I miss her and I love her but Ik it wasn’t the best relationship
TLDR; asked my girlfriend if she craved my attention and found out a lie and she left me
Opposite_Bodybuilder: You're young, you'll be ok.
She's learning how to navigate life, relationships, her own brain, and so are you. Don't get too caught up on it all. You ultimately communicated with each other and found it wasn't working, that's ok. Consider this a learning opportunity.
A note to take with you, no relationship is healthy when one "craves" the other. Don't think that is the basis of a healthy relationship. You are an individual, your partner is an individual. Having time to be yourself and follow interests, life without your partner is fundamentally important in a healthy balanced relationship. Time together and time apart. You may only be a kid and I'm an old fart, but it's better to learn and understand that now.
Reddit-username_here: My wife and I don't really do "time apart." The only time we're not together is during work. Other than that, we spend all of our time together, and have for at least the last 14 years. Couldn't be happier.
Opposite_Bodybuilder: That's good, but you aren't a 15yo kid who doesn't even know himself yet, let alone how to balance a normal relationship. For a young boy who thought something was wrong if his girlfriend didn't 'crave' his attention, it's important that he not think that is the basis of a relationship.
Reddit-username_here: Right, but you said "*no relationship*," not just teen relationships.
BTW, my wife and I started dating in 6th grade lol.
Opposite_Bodybuilder: I said no relationship is healthy when one *craves* the other person. That's just codependency wrapped up as romance.
And if you did start dating that early, I totally understand why you don't spend time apart with your own interests. But if you're happy that's fine. But not ideal advice for a 15yo kid who has already demonstrated a skewed idea of a normal relationship.
Reddit-username_here: Well, we don't like spending time apart, so I'd say we crave each other's company.
She actually punched me in the nose in the middle of class in 4th grade when the teacher stepped out of the room. My nose poured blood, and when the teacher came back and asked what happened I told her I must've gotten too hot or something.
My wife started liking me then because I didn't tell on her lol. Fun times!

1657377733 | 1657404578 | t3_vv35vn | t5_2to41 | 2 | throwaway-cuz-I-noob: TIFU by recording a suspicious activity because I find it amusing
Throwaway account because I feel like an idiot for the whole thing. This happened a few years ago while I was on a trip to Hokkaido, Japan.
We were at the city of Sapporo specifically, and I went to watch a Jazz performance alone, at a mini bar that's about 30mins walk from my hotel. By the time it was over, it's already past midnight.
10mins into my walk back to the hotel, at a somewhat quiet and dark junction, I saw a couple of folks, about 7-8 of them in their 20s, in front of a bar. 4 of them were carrying the body of a person, which I'm not sure is dead or simply unconscious, towards a van.
They were carrying him in a suspicious fashion too: two of them were holding the man's hands, while another two were holding the feets, swinging him as if they were about to hurl him into the van.
I don't know what hits me, maybe it was the beer I had at the bar, but I found the whole scene pretty amusing, especially in Japan. So I took out my phone and open the camera app. As I was aiming my phone in their direction, adjusting the focus (I was about 7-8m away), one of them turn their head towards me and shouted in Japanese: "what are you doing?!?"
That, my friend, is when I realized I've FU. A few of them started rushing towards me, and I just... ran. I ran as fast as I can. I think I must have ran about 4 blocks down the dark street when a (drunk) thought came to me: "hey it's Japan, people are nice here, maybe we can talk it out and smooth things over since I haven't even started recording yet".
As soon as I stopped running, I turn my heads towards them, half hoping they'd stop chasing. But nope, a punch was thrown from the other side and hit me on the left cheek. I lost balance and fell. A few of them who caught up started punching and kicking the shit out of me. I curled myself up in hope I can minimize the damages.
Throughout the beatings, I can see some of the aggressors' friends trying to pull them away or stop them. It got up to a point where one golden hair kid pulled my hair and kicked me in the face, breaking my glasses in the process, when I suddenly had the idea to plead for them to stop, in English, to remind them I'm a foreigner or tourist. (I'm an Asian man of average height, I often got mistook as a locals on my trip here.)
Anyhow, the idea works, the beatings stopped, and a much more polite guy in the group (who didn’t beat me up) approached me to try to converse with me in English. Long story short, they wanted me to delete the pictures or videos I took, so I showed them my phone's app gallery and there was no recording of the suspicious activity I just witnessed. They left me be, one of them even helped me pick up my broken glasses, and then all of them just walked away. I can still see the golden hair boy wanting to come at me again, but was halted by his two other friends who are dragging him away.
I gather myself for a bit, before deciding to get to the nearest Family Mart, to get some tapes to patch my glasses up. As I enter the nearest FM I found, I realized everyone was staring at me, so I went to their toilet to check the damages. Two third of my face was covered in blood, thankfully I didn't lose any tooth, and there was a few small cuts here and there.
I washed up in the toilet, walked out of the shop, not wanting to catch any further attention, then went to another mart to get what I need. I patched up my broken glasses and walked back to the hotel. Told my family I had too much to drink and fell face down, they had a good laugh at my stupidity, didn't even suspect a thing.
TL;DR wanted to take the photo of a suspicious activity, got chased and beaten up, proved my innocence and they let me go.
AcrobaticSource3: > to the nearest Family Mart
If the store’s middle six letters fell off the signage, you would’ve went to the nearest Fart
GrindingNeverStops: Dumb comment. Isn’t the post about a nearly definite kidnapping being witnessed…

1657383625 | 1659742499 | t3_vv58bi | t5_2to41 | 195 | Individual-Cry8139: Tifu by calling my boyfriend “best friend”
So my boyfriend (15m) and I (15f) (I know we are young) started dating in June, before we were really close friends. There was no problem bc I already had a crush on him and viceVersa so we had cute nicknames for each other. I normally called him bubba, his whole name, nugget and bestie (some are cringing but that’s why I used them) So it was the 4 of July and he came over because there’s a small carnival by my house we go to. So we get there and we are having a good time until I say “stop bullying me best friend” I kid you not he literally stopped everything and stared at me. I was confused until it hit me too. I didn’t think it was that bad but his head hurt so he just left. I was kinda pissed but I just went home. Now when he can he will say “how’s it going best friend?” Or “ what you looking at bestie” I thing it’s really annoying.
TL;DR : Me and my boyfriend went to the carnival and I accidentally called him best friend because we were friends prior dating.
Alternative-Stock880: My boyfriend Truman and I are dating now but I lots of boys friends pervious him. Now I still have him and I not switch it.
Tsurt-TheTrustyLie: Did.. did you have a stroke? You good?
Alternative-Stock880: Yahoo I am still doing my chores today
Alternative-Stock880: Boo we broke up

1657385627 | 1657449233 | t3_vv5xbl | t5_2to41 | 323 | 18justme: TIFU by traumatizing a child on the graveyard
I'm sorry for any misspellings, english isn't my first language and I'm writing this after a long day. Also I'm writing on mobile.
Let's start the story with the fact that I work as a gardener for the church. We are going to have a funeral this weekend, so I and another worker were digging the grave. This graveyard is old, so there is going to be some bones.
There weren't any other "unusual" founds but half a skull. We looked at it, and wondered what had happened to him/her, since it looked like a childs skull. We usually just kinda hide the bones in the pile of dirt and bury them again, so they kinda get to rest in piece in the same spott.
This is the beginning of the end. So, we hide the bones, including the skull, in the pile. My coworker needed to leave early, so I worked around the graveyard doing many small jobs.
I hear a child laughing and being happy. I look over, and my eyes widened. The child i CLIMBING on the dirt pile, and the parents are watching with a toddler i a stroller. I walk over to the family and try to get my point across that it isn't a good idea to climb there, but they didn't undertand my language and I didn't understand theirs. After some time, the father gets the point and calls over the child. The child jumps down, and she stepped on the skull, and lifted it up. I froze. I think the child and her parents thought it was a bowl, since they seemed kinda exited/curious. I walked towards the child. The child is holding this skull-half vith the face down, so I think she didn't know what she had in her hands.
So I reach out smiling and try to grab it, but the child runs to her parents. The mother gestures to the bottom of the skull, and I knew what was going to happen.
The girl turns the skull, and there is a second of silence. Then all hell broke loose. The girl screams on top of her lungs and throw the skull in the air, and of course it lands in the toddlers lap. He starts screaming and crying too, and I ruch towards them. The father takes the skull of the toddlers lap, and stares at it, and I can see him go pale. I take the skull of his hands and lay it on the ground in a smakk buch, so nobody can see it. The same time, he faints. I knew this was going to happen, so I catch him and lay him on the ground. The mother is also in shock and at the same time she tries to comfort the kids.
Luckily one of my friends, who is a nurse, comes then. She takes over with the father, and after he began to wake up we moved him into the shade. I got them some cold water, and they went away from the graveyard.
TL;DR: A child climed on a dirt pile in the graveyard, stepped on a skull without knowing it brought it to the rest of the family, causing everyone to freak out and the father to faint.
de-and-roses: This was not your fault. Letting your kids play in a graveyard comes with risks, to say the least.
18justme: I kinda blame myself and regret not making sure the skull was like at the bottom of the pile, but as my coworker said it was impossible, since the skull came up at the end of the digging
ajsawesomeanimals: This is not your fault. Kids shouldn’t be playing in a graveyard, especially when a grave is being dug. It’s very irresponsible parenting, and the parents should’ve known better.
Hot_Firefighter3217: Not to mention incredibly disrespectful

1657387351 | 1657387850 | t3_vv6j1j | t5_2to41 | 8 | YerBoiIce: TIFU by sending a nude to a stranger online
I know what you’re thinking, “OP, that is possibly the stupidest thing you could do ever” and yes in hindsight I realize that now but this scammer used some pretty scummy tactics that took advantage of my loneliness and lack of logical thinking due to horniness.
So I have my number to a girl that I met on social media and we started texting. She immediately started asking me for nudes which should have been a red flag but I didn’t notice it at the time. I originally declined because I remember seeing scams where the person sends nudes and is then threatened with blackmail (ironic right). But then after she sent me a picture of herself I somehow decided that she was trust worthy enough to send one back. I originally sent a picture of a penis that I found on Google but then when she sent me another one of herself I let my guard down and sent an actual picture.
She then proceeded to send me the pictures back along with screen shots of the people that follow me on instagram (my friends) and demand that I pay them or else they would release the pictures to my friends. I panicked and sent the money she asked for ($100) but then when she started to ask for more I realized that she was just going to keep asking for more and more money. So I came up with a plan to stall by saying that I had no more money in my account and my card was declining. This somehow actually worked and the last text they sent to me was to wait for the morning for confirmation that the $100 went through.
So as you can imagine I’ve barely had any sleep since the incident but when I finally did get some sleep I realized that they only had screenshots of a few of my friends profiles and I had changed my instagram to private after she initially started the scam. Most of the people who she has screenshots of are private. And the ones who aren’t I can explain the situation too and it will probably be no big deal.
The scammer hasn’t texted me again but if she does I’m going to try and be more confident and show her that she doesn’t really have any power. Hopefully then she will back off.
TL;DR: Sent nudes to a stranger and they tried to blackmail me. It worked and I sent them $100 but now I’m realizing that they don’t have much power over me and if they text again I’ll be able to shut them down.
Cordolium102: If they text again, threaten them with the police. Heck contact them with the fact that this will be considered revenge/blackmail pornography, which is illegal. Might scare her into returning the money.
Lexotron: The scammer is most likely from a country where this doesn't matter.
Cordolium102: If she sends it to people in Ops country she can still face repercussions.
Lexotron: Possibly, but I wouldn't get my hopes up

1657387500 | 1657391181 | t3_vv6kul | t5_2to41 | 2 | Fontec: TIFU [update] my gf got a gf
Updated from: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/v385cc/tifu_taking_acid_and_redefining_my_relationship/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
it took 2 weeks for them to ask my partner out from the confession
It was painful and joyous
every step they took towards closer intimacy upset me but only on the first instance of each action
they both(and I) have adhd and they were hyper-fixating on each other
me and my gfs relationship became more intimate and relaxed; we shared an orgasm for our first times
when both of us would cuddle our partner it felt nice — it was anti-lonely to have double the amount of people in a close connection
2 weeks ago from today they found out we were having unprotected sex and got mad at her because they don’t want to have kids and asked us to use protection
We agreed to have protected sex as we currently didn’t have kids and wanted them at ~26 (currently ~22)
We found out 2 days ago that our gf is ~5 weeks pregnant
They broke up with our gf
TLDR: my gf turned our monogamous relationship poly, got a gf, got pregnant, lost her gf
jeremyfrankly: Non-monogamy strikes again. Think she's going to resent you for the one that got away?
Fontec: everything fit well together when we were childless
we changed and they didn’t want us anymore
jeremyfrankly: Does your gf want this child more than she wanted this other relationship?

1657389945 | 1657418335 | t3_vv7ffv | t5_2to41 | 17,895 | Mommabucket123: TIFU by cleaning my teens room and finding her.. mature toy
my 17 year old daughter is staying with her dad down at the shore for the week. So I wanted to surprise her with a clean room. I am not one to go through drawers or books. Her privacy is important. Now just to let you know, I have done this im the past for her, so its nothing new to help her out. A quick make of her bed, dirty clothes washed, and a vacuum was in desperate need. So I started to clean up. Her 3 year old sister came in and wanted to see what was going on , so I sat her on the bed with some toys to occupy her. This is where is messed up. A few minutes later I hear this " rrrrrrrrr" noise and my toddler say " ooh a pink gun. Bang! bang!" I turn to look at her. She is sitting there with a pink vibrator, pushing the vibrate button to shoot me! I quickly said "no no that's not our toy " and put it under the blankets..which is where I am assuming she found it. Then I took my toddler ,turned out the lights and left the room. I do not think I will be in there cleaning anytime soon .
TL;DR
Tifu by cleaning my teens room only to have my toddler find her pink vibrator
XheadJr: Ngl, I'd be pissed if my parents cleaned my room. Just being in the room without permission is invading privacy.
StareAwkwardly: Spoken like a true spoiled brat who thinks they are entitled to privacy and would throw a tantrum if their parents opted to clean a room.
XheadJr: I don't think I'm entitled, my parents respected my privacy, they didn't give it to me.
Also, my parents yelled at me to clean my room like everyone else bud. They didn't go through my stuff while doing it.
StareAwkwardly: “Being in my room without permission”
Respecting privacy is one thing, asking for permission to go into a room that they pay for… that’s spoiled privilege.
XheadJr: It's a common courtesy by my standards but keep driving that privilege thing home.
StareAwkwardly: Common courtesy would be to clean your room and better yet hide your dildo.
XheadJr: Are you talking to me or your daughter?
StareAwkwardly: Was I not replying to your Reddit thread or do you not know how the internet works?
Here you go:
https://youtu.be/x3c1ih2NJEg
XheadJr: My comment was implying that your own words would better directed towards your daughter, while she might be lacking basic house skills, and like you said yourself, common courtesy.
Hopefully, she has another parental figure in her life to take example from.
StareAwkwardly: I would direct towards them, but I don’t have their permission!
XheadJr: That was fucking weak, just go to bed.
StareAwkwardly: Womp womp… try again

I'm currently in a large Southern US city right now for a professional conference. My parents are also here on vacation.
Yesterday, they insisted on meeting me for lunch. I hadn't seen them in a while so I agreed. Because it's the south, the weather is very very warm. The only seating this restaurant had was outside, so we agreed to tolerate the heat for good food.
Right after lunch, I went to the conference. Everyone was sharply dressed, including me. Many of the people I met there could potentially be future employers or coworkers, so I wanted to also look sharp. I shook hands with quite a few people, but I also notice a good many of them glance down to look at my shoes. I didn't think anything of it because I had on dress shoes at the time.
A few hours later, I went to the bathroom and I realized I had a very large sweat stain on my khaki pants. The sweat had come for my inner thighs and it looked like a giant piss stain, meaning I just exposed what looked like a piss stain to potential bosses. So the lesson here is to not expose yourself to heat if you're wearing business attire, especially if you're going to a professional environment.
TLDR; went to a conference in sweaty clothes without realizing it. Potential employers saw what looked like a giant piss stain on me
djmedina: People who live in that city probably deal with this all the time. They’re just always used to seeing people in business attire with sweat stains. It’s unavoidable.
trimix4work: It's a conference. Most of the people there probably weren't from that city

1657395602 | 1657417603 | t3_vv9dn4 | t5_2to41 | 4,000 | pocketcleric: TIFU by ignoring my headaches
I’ve been having headaches off and on pretty consistently for about three years, I’d been to the doctor and it was always just ‘It’s a sinus infection’ or whatever and I have migraines, which are different but I assumed that they were maybe connected and I’m trying to get through cosmetology school which is a nightmare by itself (I’m graduating in a week thankfully). Then my husband randomly and unexpectedly decided to add eye insurance this year, we’ve never needed it and don’t wear glasses but if we’ve got it might as well use it. I’d been having some spots in my vision and occasionally have blurry vision but they’d gone away and I assumed it was just from looking at my screens too much.
So a week ago I go in, they dilate my eyes (horrible, never had it done, I don’t recommend) and the doctor spent a solid 15 minutes poking and prodding my peepers before telling me my optical nerve is very swollen. He rattled off a list of things it could be, my favorites were brain tumor and brain bleed /s. He said I needed to go to the ER and get an MRI immediately.
While at the ER, I get a contrast and noncontrast MRI, they find my brain is taking a bath in too much spinal fluid so I get to sleep over night on the neuro unit for a spinal tap in the morning. They do the spinal tap and drain as much fluid as they can off my brain. My opening pressure was 39, the doctor said they consider 25 to be high, they where able to get me down to 18. I got to home later that day.
To treat it I take a pill every day, it’s called IIH and likely explains my headaches, why my migraines have been so much worse, vertigo, issues focusing, and blurry vision.
TL;DR I’d been having headaches, went to the eye doc for something seemingly unrelated, ended end getting a spinal tap and having a semi-rare brain disorder and now I get to take a pill every day.
strawbarry92: Ive heard the meds for this make people hate carbonation, how’s soda/sparkling water for you now?
pocketcleric: That might explain why my Cokes have been tasting odd.
Astra_Trillian: I’m so sorry, but this made me laugh. I’m glad you’re ok though and hopefully don’t miss soda too much.
pocketcleric: The whole thing has been a little comical to me. I’ve been calling it soup brain.
shaka893P: At least you weren't one of those people that have fluid falling off their nose
gladamirflint: That’s the one thing I worry about having… there’s been a runny nose for at least 3 years straight now. Too scared to ask a doc about it since it comes and goes randomly.
bazjack: I had a temporary CSF leak from my nose, it was like a faucet. Literally ran at the same pace, no stopping no matter what I did, for about 20 hours. It also didn't speed up at any point. A steady stream. It seemed like pure saline. My sister figured out what it probably was and my doctor confirmed, but it went away and has never come back. If yours is like that and keeps recurring, you might want to see a doctor.
Edit: It was also only from my left nostril.
SageCarnivore: That was your blowoff valve preventing explosion. Yay internal homeostasis systems working.
In reality it was probably a weak part the ruptured briefly and healed on its own. Did you lift heavy things regularly at that time?
bazjack: No, but I take a half-dozen meds that cause nausea and frequently have violent vomiting bouts. That was what we assumed did it.
SageCarnivore: Oh,.snap, sorry. Hope you're doing better!
bazjack: Thanks, I still puke my guts out regularly, but my brain's no longer leaking so hey! :)

1657361637 | 1657449744 | t3_vuylnq | t5_2to41 | 39 | Lifedeath999: TIFU by improperly assembling a blender.
I sometimes like to make smoothies in the morning.
I am not a morning person.
When doing dishes, I generally assemble the blender as I dry, rather than when I intend to use it.
I assume you see where this is going.
So I pull out the ingredients, I take the measurements I know by heart at this point, and I am honestly not even thinking about it. Then, after I’ve assembled almost every ingredient, I notice I’ve spilled some orange juice around the blender. Im not sure how that happened, but as I’m looking closer I realize, it’s not just the orange juice. Every ingredient is next to the blender. Then it hits me, it wasn’t spilled when I was pouring, it spilled out of the blender. Because the blades were not in fact in the blender. There was a gaping hole in the bottom, and I was so tired I was pouring ingredients straight through an empty tube.
I really hate mornings.
TL:DR I poured all the ingredients for a smoothie, into a blender with a gaping hole at the bottom.
X12H0P: I did something similar had a blender that’s lid had a removable cap for adding things and forgot to put it on after cleaning it turned it on to bend up berries and fruits next thing I know my ceiling and walls are covered in a bright red fluid
Lifedeath999: I’ve heard that the more common mistake, which is honestly why I found mine all the funnier. I didn’t just forget to add the last part, I missed a key component of the base.

1657397509 | 1657486059 | t3_vva1tt | t5_2to41 | 232 | python322: TIFU By Eating a Moldy Cupcake
I don't know how I managed to miss all the red flags leading up to this.
We brought home some cupcakes from a 4th of July party at a friend's house. As you can see, it is now the 9th. These were some of the best raspberry cupcakes I'd ever had, very moist. I've been eating one a day since then, and I was about to enjoy number 5. When I opened the box of cupcakes, I didn't get the musty, moldy smell right away but I did notice it a minute or so later. I also sneezed almost immediately after opening the container. (I'm allergic to mold) I shrugged it off. I walked to the living room. The smell didn't go away, and I started looking for a source. Oh well, can't find it, just turn on the AC fan to let the nice filter take care of the smell. I start eating the delicious cupcake in my hands. It's as good as I remember, in spite of the musty smell I somehow am still shrugging off. I get about halfway through the cupcake and notice the green on the wrapper. I pause as my blood goes cold, and spit out the bite currently in my mouth. I gag as I toss the rest of the cupcake in the trash, and again as I go to brush my teeth.
I'm feeling sick now, and I fully expect to spend a good portion of today throwing up. At least I didn't offer any to my kids.
TL:DR I missed all the red flags and ate moldy cupcakes
trying629: A little mold never hurt anyone. I had a relative who would "age" cheese, and when it was moldy, it was good
[deleted]: When my grandpa first took my nan home to meet his parents they had sandwiches and all the bread was mouldy. My nan was horrified, but it was really normal for my grandpa and his parents to eat gone off food. They must have had stomachs of steel to never get sick
bobattac: The funny thing about our stomachs is the more often you eat "gone bad" food, the more resilient you are to it
Tanagrabelle: Ehm. That's not it. Eating a variety of foods is what is good for you. The more often you eat "gone bad" food, the Russian Roulette analogy of 1 in 6 is fine, if you only give it six chances.
bobattac: Tbh I don't really have any clue about what I'm saying besides what I've experienced personally
Though what I meant by "gone bad" food was mostly just food that has gone rancid; usually I could eat those and still be fine, or food off the floor, and other people could be sick from it
I don't eat moldy food though, and stuff like salmonella definitely still makes me quite ill
I do believe that feeling sick after eating some "gone bad" foods is also partially a psychological factor though
Disclaimer: I still don't recommend eating food that's gone bad, and if you do it, it's at your own risk
Tanagrabelle: The person who braved natto was probably starving to death.
bobattac: Some foods I seriously wonder how it came into being, considering how..... questionable they seem lol

1657394363 | 1657431464 | t3_vv8yke | t5_2to41 | 73 | nateatenate: TIFU by having a Freudian slip when I was teaching my son about Freudian slips and now my gf wont talk to me.
Today I was showing my son a movie trailer and it showed a dead person in the trailer. I told my son we can’t watch that because it’s not appropriate for children.
He said that he watches videos with dead people all the time. I told him that he needs to show me what it is because he can’t watch that. He then backtracked and said that he doesn’t and adamantly denied that he does.
I told him he let out what we like to call a Freudian slip. A Freudian slip is when you release a harsh truth that you keep to yourself or say what you really think about something you may try and suppress.
Obviously it’s confusing for a kid to understand so I gave him an example.
So I said
“imagine you have a girlfriend and she has black hair ..
and you don’t like black hair..
but you say that you like it because it’s not a big enough deal to make a huge fuss. Your love for her supersedes your dislike for black hair.”
I realized I made a mistake after looking at my girlfriend who has black hair’s face get visibly angry.
So I started to deny it. Then I realized I have completed a full cycle of a Freudian slip and will never recover from this.
TLDR: Son makes his first Freudian slip, I teach him about Freudian slips. While teaching him about Freudian slips I make a Freudian slip about not liking my girlfriends black hair while my girlfriend with black hair is right next to me. Sleeping on roof tonight.
FrequentEgg4166: Ok but did you find out what your son was watching with dead people?
nateatenate: Snuff films
SeaOdeEEE: This just comes off so nonchalantly
rc3105: The internet SEEMED like a good idea, at first...

1657405396 | 1657419813 | t3_vvcqtk | t5_2to41 | 310 | xXmjaneXx: TIFU by eating peanut butter for the first time
English is not my first language and im writing this through swollen eyes and itchy face, so bare with me.
Im not a big fan of peanuts because I've always found their taste too "powdery" for me and also because my throat get itchy after eating them, i thought because they were rough textured, I didn't really care or connect the dots, i just brushed it off as something I don't like. Fast forward to today, I decided to have pb&j sandwich for the first time in my life, I was really excited and I put too much peanut butter, I took a bite and it was heavenly ngl. By the third bite, i was putting some effort to swallow it, thinking it just "dry" and "powdery", i continued eating and even made a second one <\3. 20 minutes later I was struggling to move my tongue, sweating profusely and just generally having a very bad time, my chest was covered in red spots. It never clicked and I honestly thought the jam was expired, but it got worse, I had to throw up and with my swollen tongue, it got even worse. I googled my symptoms and the first thing was allergies, and the most popular one was pb allergy, im still laying in bed waiting to get picked up and taken to the clinic to confirm it.
Ps: peanut butter is not common at all where i live, i didn't even know about it until a few years back, its not sold and used by our cuisine. Also peanut allergy is not common here at all too, it never clicked in my mind that I might have been at risk.
TL;DR today i ate peanut butter for the first time and it f*cked me up badly
TL;DR 2 : it was funky jam all along
Edit: apparently, I do have mild peanut sensitivity (or whatever its called in English) but plot twist... the reaction was from the bad (expired!) Jam that I didn't even taste how sour and funky it was because I emptied half peanut butter jar on it. Am I happy that I can somehow eat peanuts without dying? Yes! (Not my toilet tho), am I mad at myself for almost killing myself with bad JAM? also yes.
jnelparty: Dont do that again, your reaction will be worse and you're likely to die.
xXmjaneXx: Is it possible to develop allergies rather than have them since birth?
Tanagrabelle: Yes. Unfortunately you can. By the way, general advice seems to be drink a lot of water.
xXmjaneXx: Thats scary, being able to eat something one day and then it almost kills you the next. I threw the first cup of water right up but was able to keep the second one
Tanagrabelle: Possibly drink slowly. I'm so glad you are doing okay!
xXmjaneXx: Thank you so much! Im feeling much better, tongue still sore but no itchiness, definitely better.
mom_with_an_attitude: Honey, at the very least, if you are not going to go to urgent care (I wish you would), go get some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and take it. It is generally available over the counter (i.e., you can buy it without a prescription at a pharmacy). But I'd really feel better if you saw a doctor today.
xXmjaneXx: Thank you, I really appreciated your kindness. I'm going to the doctor in a few hours, ill do some blood testing and allergy tests (I still don't know how that work haha) and im hoping for the best
mom_with_an_attitude: Okay, good! I'm glad you're seeing the doctor! There are a few different ways they do allergy tests. One way is they draw your blood and then they combine drops of your blood in the lab with food extracts and they observe to see if there's an immune reaction. Another way is they can take very dilute extracts of common allergens and then inject them subcutaneously (just under the surface of your skin). Then they look for a skin reaction. If you're allergic, you while get a hive in that spot where it was injected (swelling and redness). Good luck and feel better!
xXmjaneXx: Thats interesting, hope it doesn't hurt. But it will give me more insight on whats bad for me, its worth it. Thank you so much!
mom_with_an_attitude: 👍

So a few months ago, myself and my bf had sex on the kitchen counter (not recommended) after I had just decorated cupcakes. I was using those small, silver, edible balls to decorate the icing with. My back hurt afterwards and I had a few of them creased into my skin, brushed them off and didn't think much of it.
Fast forward to today, I am getting dressed and my boyfriend notices a spot on my back. He said it looks like a blackhead and tried to pop it/pull it off. He then begins screaming "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT", all I could say was "What? What is it? Is it a worm?" Out pops a tiny, calcified, silver ball. I had a decorative cupcake item encased into my skin for 2 months and never even knew it. A singular pore on my back can now breathe again.
Tldr: I had sex on a counter top after decorating cupcakes and found a decorative cupcake item stuck in my back months afterwards.
OkVolume1: How were the cupcakes?
kerryseven: Good, apart from the one missing a ball.
GunGeek369: Sigh, story of my life.

1657410075 | 1657412806 | t3_vveae5 | t5_2to41 | 13 | Boastfulgoat471: TIFU By beating to my sister
I (19 M) found nudes of my sister (23.) As usual, I was browsing on porn site . I haven’t had a girlfriend since middle school and I regularly have conversations with girls on the app. I’m desperate and beat it 3+ times a day. I dropped out of high school and all of my money goes to these girls. I ended up finding this unusually hot woman on the app. I subscribed and started browsing, fantasizing. I ended up in the bathroom beating it for almost an hour. I then realized in my post-nut clarity it was my sister. It’s only a matter of time before she realizes and I don’t know what to do. On one hand I could tell her and I feel like I should, yet I’m too embarrassed to tell her. When she finds out I’m worried my parents might finally kick me out and I have no idea what I’m going to do. I even messaged her on the app some completely horrendous, kinky shit. I’m hoping this won’t ruin our relationship as I love my parents and sister. I just have no idea how I can fix this.
TL;DR
I beat to my sister on porn site and I’m worried I’m going to get kicked out of my parents house.
This_Space_For_Rnt: Honestly, this is a draw. She’s on a porn sight and you jacked it to her. If she mentions it, which she probably won’t, y’all are even and you never mention it again.
Boastfulgoat471: Hopefully but she’s not all that bright tbh she might not think ahead
This_Space_For_Rnt: Then your option is to go ahead and lay it out there to her. Essentially y’all have blackmail on one another. It’s a mutual agreement to never speak of it again.
Boastfulgoat471: I don’t wanna bring it up🤐
This_Space_For_Rnt: If you know, for a fact she’ll know it was you then you might want to head it off at the pass.
Boastfulgoat471: Yeah my account user is my real name
This_Space_For_Rnt: 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ damn it man!!! Never use your real name!!!🤣🤣🤣 you better bring it up, she may or may not let it slip at some point and you need her to know when she does you’ll tell the whole damn family. Blackmail my friend blackmail.

1657414325 | 1657460685 | t3_vvfn25 | t5_2to41 | 464 | Freejack1992: TIFU by forgetting my EV was nearly silent, scaring a kid who had an accident
I'm driving my new to me EV in a residential neighborhood, observing the speed limit, and I see an older kid (maybe 12?) on his bike in the middle of the road, weaving about. I slow down, expecting him to move to the side. He didn't, and after long enough, thought "a-hole kid is being an a-hole and ignoring me.", which wouldn't be the first time.
So I honked.
The kid jumped / fell of his bike immediately into the street. I stopped, got out to see if he was ok and to apologize and saw that he had soiled his shorts, all over himself and the bike. He must have been on his way home to take care of that because it was a copious amount. He's crying and saying, "My mom's gonna be SO mad." I apologized profusely and realize I can't offer him a ride in this day and age. I offer to follow him home and explain what happened, but he just said no, picked up his bike and started walking, his shorts dripping as he went.
TL;DR Honked at a kid from my silent EV and made him soil all over himself and his bike.
GuardMarmot: I've never understood the whole "nearly silent" thing. Tires alone make plenty of noise; I can definitely hear EVs behind me at low speed. They're quieter, but not silent.
IronbloodPrime: Plus pretty much all of then made after 2018 have a VESS (virtual engine sound system) or AVAS acoustic vehicle alert system) equipped to make noise at lower speeds.
I hate mine. :/
MechaBeatsInTrash: The tone that it makes is not mandated by law. Should you choose, you can make it play "The Final Countdown" on a calliope.
Ishidan01: Have some restraint.
Knight Rider's KITT [scanner swoop.](https://youtu.be/bMVbaCiy_XE)
Typesalot: If/when I get an EV, I want the TARDIS sound.
LLAGOyt: Not a good idea might mistake a genuine car problem for tardis sound
Typesalot: Now that got me wondering... What genuine EV problem would produce something similar to the Tardis sound? Dragging brakes? Dry bearing?
LLAGOyt: Perhaps I'm no car expert but my non ev car has a power steering issue that could be mistaken for a tardis also for non ev haters I is broke teenage adult who can't afford an ev yet
Typesalot: Well, I'm a broke middle aged adult who can't afford an EV yet...
TehWhale: I stopped buying avocado toast and was able afford an EV in a few short weeks!
Typesalot: Hmm, I don't buy avocado toast... Maybe I should start selling it?
TehWhale: Millennials love it! Just make it look really pretty and you can charge $30/meal (thanks inflation). Soon, you too will have an EV of your own!

1657418052 | 1657424437 | t3_vvgrqz | t5_2to41 | 16 | ItemEmergency7770: TIFU by drinking too much and waking up in the ER
I can't stop thinking about this. I celebrated my birthday recently and thought it would be fun to organize drinks with some friends. It ended with me waking up in the ER, my clothes hanging on a hook covered in vomit. I'm 31, this is just straight up embarrassing. Turns out people kept buying me beer, and pressuring me to drink it. I remember initially trying to pace myself, and saying no to drinks, but then lost track of how much I drank. I have a good "drunk" poker face so it's hard for people to tell when I'm actually drunk, so people do try to get me to drink more sometimes. Apparently at the end of the night I took a bunch of shots by myself, which I don't remember, and then ended up in the hospital. I had to be dragged there by my friends, unconscious and vomiting, and one of my friends had to stay in the er with me, my bac was .28 apparently.
I don't really drink a whole lot. At most I'll have a drink or two and occasionally at that, not even every week. Sometimes by myself, sometimes with other people, usually moderation isn't a problem. But I seem to have these "epic" blackouts once in a while. This is probably the second time I remember I needed to be babysat, last incident, similar to this without the ER, was 4 years ago.
I have blacked out a few times outside of that, probably 5-6 total, in like a 12-13 year drinking career. None were to the extent of the last two blackouts. But a few of those instances have made me the target of my friends jokes, which as someone with massive social anxiety, it's hard to take. I'm dreading seeing the people who were at my bday party in person. Some of them messaged me asking if i was ok, and told me it's no big deal and everyone had fun. But as someone who is really independent, I hate that I had to be taken care of. This particular instance and the one from 4 years ago makes me think maybe quitting is the best option? Idk, I can moderate most of the time, but these handful of "epic" blackouts do scare me.
TLDR: drank too much celebrating my birthday, my friends had to drag my unconscious/vomiting self to the ER. I feel bad, am muling stopping drinking altogether, can't stop thinking about this.
makerofrandomthings: I believe this is called binge drinking. The fact that you are drinking to back out is a horrible sign. And, yes, you should probably quit.
Jesta83: It's not every weekend. Hopefully... Chill out.
ItemEmergency7770: it's not, I don't even drink every week and I never really plan to blackout
Jesta83: None of us plan to black out. As long as it's not more than two or three times in your life you should learn and be good. My third time was when I was 35 and I spent the entire Saturday lying on the floor in my sunroom talking to patio installers. Let's just say, a few of them didn't call me back with quotes. 😂
Also I was asking commenter to chill, not op
ItemEmergency7770: >Also I was asking commenter to chill, not op
oh yea I know lol, just wanted to reiterate it's not every weekend
Jesta83: I hope not... My neighbor does it every weekend. He is younger than me and looks like he is in his late 40's...
ItemEmergency7770: yikes.....

laughingatreddit: Reddit ethics are insane. ppl calling for deportation of an 18 yo because of some relationship drama.
QueenKay28: It's because she said that is the law in her country for what he did
laughingatreddit: In middle eastern countries the locals pretty much don't work which is why they have large disaporas of foreigners who work their backsides off but live as second class citizens. These ppl don't have many rights and will get deported for any minor infraction especially if it's conflict with a local.
QueenKay28: Ya so what they were saying wasn't wrong, he would get deported
laughingatreddit: The ppl speaking weren't just saying he would get deported but calling for it. Sheesha (the girl) had some self-doubt if it was fair of her to go ahead with this whole thing because it likely will lead to deportation of the guy and his single mom and impoverishing them. I thought that was breath-taking insensitivity. People speaking about things they don't much about. Classic reddit mob justice.
QueenKay28: I mean he violated the laws there and that's the punishment

Today I fucked up by blasting porn on my Google home while I was in the bathroom.
My parents were gone for the day so I decided to have some alone time. I was in the bathroom for around fifteen minutes before I realized that I was connected to my Google Home at almost maximum volume.
My sister was at home and heard the entire thing. Thank god she's young enough to not understand what the audio was bout, but regardless, she still heard it loud and clear.
I had also left my window open while there were children playing outside, and my neighbors most likely heard it as well.
I told my sister that my Google Home starting auto-playing a movie that I was watching last night that had a lot of people dying and crying in pain. She said it sounded like people were hurt, so that was the best excuse I could make.
Kill me.
TL;DR: Blasted porn on a Google home, little sister heard it, and most likely the neighborhood as well.
GenPhallus: If anyone asks, you thought It would be funny
Jazzlike-Ad-4662: Yeah, that's probably the best excuse I have right now. So far, nobody's said anything and I'm praying nobody will.

1657421780 | 1657455228 | t3_vvhw8g | t5_2to41 | 1,257 | Inevitable_Broccoli8: TIFU by losing by my virginity.
Posting this on an unused alt account, just needed somewhere to vent. Very recently, I(M26) lost my virginity by visiting an escort. As someone with pretty bad anxiety and self esteem issues, my recent status as a 26yr old virgin was like an invisible mark of shame for myself. Irrationally, I felt like I wasn't truly an adult, that I was a failure for being a virgin at this age. So, when the summer started and I was on break from college, I get the idea, why not visit an escort and finally lose my v-card?
Logically, I knew losing my virginity wouldn't magically solve my anxiety and self esteem issues. I also knew that actual sex isn't 100% like the pornos or hentai on the internet. Being a virgin, I knew it was very likely that I would underperform when I finally did it. I had simply hoped that I would at least remove one factor that was aggravating my anxiety. As I had predicted, unfortunately, I almost completely underperformed once the time came.
Despite the skills and patience of the very sexy, understanding, and kind escort, I could barely get erect, and even when I did, I could barely manage a few movements before losing the erection. In the end, we ran out of time with me not finishing, which the escort felt terrible for, even though it was 100% my fault. However, objectively speaking, my experience actually wasn't THAT bad. Believe it or not, I actually did enjoy my time with the escort and it was a good learning experience, and I would love to visit the escort again in the future.
The reason why this is a TIFU is because while I lost my virginity, I still had severe anxiety. This anxiety then proceeded to mentally kick my ass, berating me for my sexual underperformance and for making the escort feel bad, making me irrationally view and analyze the experience 1000x worse than it actually was. Rather than taking a step in solving my anxiety and self esteem issues, I may have inadvertently aggravated them even worse for the long term.
TL;DR: I evolved from depressed and anxious virgin to very depressed and anxious non-virgin with performance anxiety.
MoonInHisHands: Buddy, first time anxiety is quite common. My first time, bad anxiety due to being bullied and I had the same issue but with a gf. It was flippity floppity, hard for about a minute before it went away. Took a second attempt to get over the anxiety and no erection issues. Even then every new partner I have I still have a bit of anxiety but nothing like the first time and doesn’t impact my erections. Fingers crossed you’re the same and the next time you’ll have no issues as well
Inevitable_Broccoli8: Logically, I know that. Sadly, my anxiety is an asshole that doesn't care about logic.
Laszerus: As someone whose struggled with severe anxiety his whole life, if you are not already, see a psychiatrist and get medication. It is truly life altering, you don't even realize t all the ways its holding you back in life.
-Necros-: medications scare me so goddamn much... How are you not scared of them? I had been prescribed xanax and escitalopram ... The side effects and the feelings i had in that period were so ugly i tapered off them as soon as i could and never took them again. Panic disorder and depression were (and still are) shitty but i started having more anxiety about the meds than the disorders and at this point i prefer the rare panic attack over every day feeling like I'm about to lose brain cells every second
edit: why the fuck am i being downvoted for sharing my experience and asking a question? Damn some redditors are just plain idiots lol
Emu1981: >The side effects and the feelings i had in that period were so ugly i tapered off them as soon as i could and never took them again.
Did you talk to your therapist about this issue or did you just abandon any chance of changing the drugs which you were taking? All medicines have side effects, the trick is to find the one that helps your issues the most while minimising the side effects.
-Necros-: I did, he said i should take even more since the dose i was taking was supposedly "high enough to feel the side effects and low enough to not work". I also asked about my concern on possible heart side effects and he just said i would have to visit the cardiologist once in a while... I just told him i wanted to stop since i can't live with that kind of additional anxiety. I already have many triggers, i can't have more... And the idea of having to be dependant on them just fucks with me mentally even more
ZilorZilhaust: Really sounds like he sucked, honestly. Some of them do.
I take Trintellix which has helped a lot with my depression and anxiety. I have Klonopin to take as needed for a panic attack. Just knowing I have something to help a panic attack helps take their fangs away.
I'd say try someone else, they're mostly not like that in my extensive experience as a patient.
DocHolliday9930: I too take Trintellix. I take that in combination with Rexulti. It’s been a pretty good combo for me. It’s much better than the cymbalta I used to be on.
ZilorZilhaust: I'm happy to hear it's worked well for you too!

1657424278 | 1657426879 | t3_vvimso | t5_2to41 | 6 | xprince18: TIFU by sending a private photo to my closest friend
I (f15) have a best friend (f15) who I consider to be one of my closest friends. The other day I thought I had something wrong with my private area and since she's my closest friend I decided to ask for her help. With her consent I snapped a disappearing picture and sent it. It was stupid I know, I should've asked my parents for help, please do not add salt to the wound. Everything went fine, she didn't judge at all and was just like "oh yeah i have that too nothing to worry about".
But what I have problems with is the guilt. I feel so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I'm not even allowed to be talking to her because my mom for some reason has never liked her. If she knew I sent a picture like that she would never forgive me, never stop being disappointed. Going to her is not an option. And I think that's what's eating me up inside. Remind you again I CANNOT TELL HER. That is not a suggestion.
I feel nauseous everytme I think about it. Like I will physically feel like throwing up. I get the anxiety shits (anyone with bad anxiety knows exactly what I mean) and it's just not good. I don't know why I feel so much shame. My friends have been telling me people do this all the time but it isn't helping. I have an eating disorder so feeling sick with Anxiety is not something I need right now. The shame and disgust is killing me, I've had brief thoughts of ending my life tbh.
I've tried everything - I've tried flipping the situation around and showing myself that if a friend needed my help and sent a photo to me asking for advice, I wouldn't feel like they were disgusting or shameful whatsoever. I've tried reminding myself that me and my friend are both girls. Nothing is working. Please give me advice, again don't tell me how stupid I am because I already know and it will only make it worse. Telling my mother is not an option.
TL;DR: I sent a photo of my glizzy to my best friend so she could tell me if something looked wrong with it, can't stop feeling guilt because my mother does not approve of this friend. Can't tell mother because she'll never forgive me and now I'm feeling physically sick from the guilt
UPDATE: I've told my mother that me and her are friends, it's taken a lot of the load off of my heart. I think that was the root and the picture had just made it worse
T_BagginsEsq: Why didn't you just go to your mom to begin with if this was your reaction?
Do you also have a mom that thinks that vaginas are Satan or something?
xprince18: I was embarrassed, as a kid you always wanna go to friends before parents. This wasn't my initial reaction btw I thought it was honestly humorous at first, still kinda do. I don't think fully before I act all the time.
And like I said she does not like my best friend at ALL. She would not understand the context of the situation either, she'd just see it as me sending a nude. I don't want her to lose respect for me or not love me anymore 💔
T_BagginsEsq: If you're mom is so against your friend then don't tell her and move on.
That's it. You just have to deal with the guilt, which you will, or tell your mom and live with those consequences instead of the guilt.
xprince18: Nah I'm choosing the guilt on this one, at 15 nearly 16 I will have so much life experience that this whole thing with seem irrelevant. Guilt fades, the fear of the belt doesn't 💀💀

This happened yesterday. Okay so I am a Canadian citizen and it had been 6 years since I left the country to go to the United States. So when my grandparents visited me from another country I decided to go to the states with them to visit some relatives. Anyway so I get on the greyhound from toronto. We plan on going to Ohio with a stop in buffalo. Anyway so we get on the bus and I am busy trying to figure out why my switch won't connect to the wifi. It's now been a couple of hours and we are past the border and now I am in buffalo. While being there the bus mf (the driver) says something I don't hear or hear incorrectly here is my fault. The bus I am currently in stops at buffalo for about 15 min. I get off of the bus from buffalo and get some snacks and then get back on the bus on time. Now we had been on the bus for about 30 min and I decided to check my phone. Now the wifi from the greyhound is pretty shit and I don't have data because I have a Canadian sim and I also cannot make phone calls. So anyway I get my phone and out of curiosity I check Google maps. Turns out we are in the wrong bus as this bus was Heading fucking New York city. Coincidentally the bus stopped right when I figured this out. My grandfather realized our mistake when I let him know. He goes up to the bus mf and in his broken English explains the situation. Please note that my grandfather can get a bit stressed in situations like this unlike me when I am calmer than a rock. Anyway so I am not really concerned about me but more concerned about my grandparents as they are like what 70>= years old. The bus driver asks us to leave the bus at a random ass bustop in the middle of nowhere and tells us to wait for the next greyhound to go to cleaveland. My grandparents are quite panicking and I go to the nearest convenience store and ask them to use their phone I call greyhound and tell them what happened.
I tell them location and everything. They tell me that the bus to Ohio has already left the gas station even before the bus to New York left us there. We were basically stranded in the middle of no where.
They put me on hold after I ask them to give us some kind of compensation for leaving us here. This spot as to where we are at was kind of in the middle of nowhere for me but there happened to be hotels near by. Thankfully a mf who drives a bus from a sister company of greyhound pops up and offers us a ride back to buffalo. We accept his offer and head to back to Buffalo. While I am there greyhound was able to reschedule my ticket to the next day 7am. Now while I am sitting here I talk to a couple of people I met in the Toronto bus and they tell me that even if u got off the bus to buffalo, the bus to Ohio had already left before we arrived and they got NO compensation.
I spend the next 2 HOURS talking to "supervisors" who give me mixed and incorrect information as to where I can seek compensation for FALSE INFORMATION and LATE BUSSES. I can spend the night at a shit bus stop cause I am young and dumb but NOT my Grandparents. I can't call my parents in Canada cause of the damn Canada wide Rogers shut down. So my grandparents decided to call my aunt and she and her husband got us a hotel here. I am writing this at 3 am cause they only got me one room and I can't sleep with all the snoring. I am now playing Fortnite on switch. (ANYWAY WE GOT NO COMPENSATION) Also the family thwatbwas with me that missed the bus because our bus arrived late to buffalo was a family a of 8 with little children who had to wait all night at the bus stop. They ended up splitting cause the future busses couldn't hold 8 mfs. people
TLDR; Stayed in the Greyhound too long got lost because of incorrect information and I tried my best to make sure my grandparents were comfortable in a foreign country.
Icy_Engine_7648: Update please
Fortnite_Racoon: We are in Ohio now. Things are going well. Greyhound asked me to do a survey twice and I just have them bad feedback but no response.

1657425323 | 1657555464 | t3_vvixle | t5_2to41 | 3,624 | GeniePls: TIFU by taking a girl I met online bouldering..
Obligatory, Happened last Saturday.
I met this Girl on Hinge during the week and we hit it off okay, not that kinda first love hitting it off, but we got along well enough to warrant a date. I mentioned how I was a bit of a fan of bouldering, she seemed interested so I invited her along to join me for a climb.
We met up, and we started climbing. well, I started climbing, She looked a bit nervous and asked if she could watch me climb one or two first. I obliged, climbed a few then invited her to try some of the easier ones. She did really well getting to the top! had upper body strength, and was able to pull herself up. Then she needed to get down.. She looked a little stuck and hesitant to jump down. I encouraged her everything would be fine. So, she fell backwards... aaannnd landed on the side of her foot, breaking it in the process.
At the time we didn't know it was broken, so we sat around and waited for the pain to go. It didn't, so in an attempt to salvage the date, I asked if she wanted to leave and get some lunch instead?
She obliged, we went and got food, I got her an ice pack for her foot then offered to drive her home/ to the hospital. She was insistent she didn't like hospitals and just wanted to rest at home. The next day she texts me, says she went to the hospital and had been sitting in there all day waiting for x-rays and such.
Edit- I feel with how much traction this post got, it deserves a little edit! Thank you everyone for you comments and concerns, I have read them all and I will be ensuring something like this doesn't happen again!
I should say I really am not that experienced bouldering. I've only been doing it for about 6 months, I know enough to get myself around and not look like an idiot, that's about it. Also, It seems like climbing gyms here in Australia are a little more relaxed on the rules around who needs to know how to fall? I've never been through any "training" and have relied on my own knowledge/ watching people around myself. Although, there is an instruction video we are encouraged to watch.
When we went out for lunch I did offer to pay for the food, then the ice cream we got. Then offered to drove her home.
I just woke up, so I hope you all have a lovely day! ☺️
Oh, and thanks for the reward strangers! Haven't been given one before 💞
Edit #2 - I've read your messages. to help her out, I've offered to drive her around while her foot is healing. Then sent her a gift voucher for uber.
TL;DR - took a girl I met online bouldering, and she broke her foot after the first climb..
This_Space_For_Rnt: Have you talked to her since?
GeniePls: Since the date? I sent her a message the day after to make sure her foot was okay, then another message the other day saying I wasn't interested in a second date!
bee-sting: Wait what did _she_ do wrong?
GeniePls: She didn't do anything wrong! I guess I just didn't feel the connection I'm looking for, unfortunately 😪
For example, whenever I tried to crack a joke (even before the incident happened) they just went over her head, and I kinda had to explain them all... killed my confidence a lil
SMITTENZKITTENZ: Holy shit you’re an idiot.
GeniePls: Yeah, probably. That's what 20s is for though, living and learning!
BlueChipHero: and making up for being a douche in the moment! Do something nice for her!!!!! Does not mean you are interested just shows kindness in a shitty situation that is about to impact her for a long time!!! meanwhile you have karma and a story.....
as of now... definite douche.
GeniePls: Good idea! Reddit has made me realize I was a bit of an asshole with how I reacted to the situation. Although i tried to ensure she was as comfortable as possible, considering she didn't wanna go to the hospital.. maybe there's still time to send flowers her way and apologies?
BlueChipHero: and write a note about being a dick and offering to help out with rides or delivering a meal or something kind but not like too far into flirting. just helpful, same thing you would want if tables were turned type of deal
GeniePls: I really like this!! Done as suggested, waiting for a reply 🤞
BlueChipHero: Oh hell yeah. Strangers online taking my advice, idk why this is giving me anxiety but it is! Good luck!! Hope it’s well received! If it’s not then that’s okay at least you’ve reached out and provided something - you best have included a gift card.

redbucket75: Maybe she's a bit nuts. Maybe the wording was poor (I'd go with "You look great. But the ruffles look a bit too aquiline" because if you use academic words it makes it sound clinical instead of judgemental.)
Either way, an apology and explanation should have been all that's required to move on. Sorry you're still being punished.

1657428022 | 1657436241 | t3_vvjovq | t5_2to41 | 42 | octoberopalrose: TIFU by not using safe words (trigger warning)
I’m gonna cut right to the chase. I was sexually assaulted by a former boyfriend when I was 16. I recently started engaging in casual sex with a friend, as a means to learn more about my body and regain control of what happened to me, so to speak.
On one occasion, we started experimenting with cnc, and established safe words and hand signals. There were no issues.
A while after that (maybe a week?) we were having sex, (not cnc) when I asked to stop as it was becoming painful. He began fingering me instead. It still hurt so I asked him to stop. He didn’t seem to be listening so I asked him to stop a couple more times and pulled away a bit. He then stopped. I felt really confused and triggered, but didn’t say anything.
I told a friend of mine what happened, and she’s adamant that it’s sexual assault. But it can’t be, because the situation is entirely my fault. That’s why we have safe words right? To prevent this from happening? I told him that I felt a bit upset by what happened, and he said I should’ve used safe words and that he didn’t hear me properly. Since then he seems to think it’s his fault, but I feel like he’s only sorry because I got upset. I’m just so confused and hurt. I can’t help but feel like maybe he was in the wrong a little bit, but I’m so certain it’s my fault.
TL;DR: Today I fucked up by not using my safe word when I felt unsafe. Don’t make the same mistake. Please be safe everyone.
Brave-Welder: While I don't agree with your initial method of taking back control of your body and sexuality by casual sex, this situation seems to be entirely on you if you didn't you the safe words you had decided before hand.
The whole idea of CNC is that you pretend to not want it or pretend to try to be pulling away while the other person keeps going ahead with it. That's why we have safe words. If you didn't use the safe word, then he's just doing what you both agreed to do. He hasn't really done anything you didn't consent to. Had you used it, he'd be at complete fault. But since you said you didn't, he shouldn't feel it to be his fault at all.
Edit: I misread what was in the bracket. I thought it was CNC, since you mentioned it earlier. If it wasn't CNC, he's all wrong. You only need safe word in CNC or role play. In regular sex, just saying no or stop is enough.
octoberopalrose: That’s what I’m saying
Brave-Welder: My bad, I misread the bracket

1657430271 | 1657450228 | t3_vvkahc | t5_2to41 | 16 | Yinisiki: TIFU my job interview by telling them that I do not plan to work for that company for more than 2 years
I will definitely be rejected now. This was my first job interview, but then job interviews and offers are pretty rare for freshers in my college.
I said that I wanted to move to jobs related to machine learning and pursue those jobs after the 2 years with that company and I could give only 2 years of my life for that company!
Although I was able to answer 70% of the technical questions very well, when I came to discuss my long plan, I said this and at that point the interviewer said that the interview was over and thanked me for my time!!
Now I feel like all my hard work that I had to do and pass exams for reaching till the job interview stage has been wasted!! I feel like screaming and destroying things.
TL;DR:: I told my interviewer that I can only give 2 years of my life for that job and would like to move to Machine Learning related jobs after that because I love Machine Learning!!
nyrB2: Not wasted at all. Look at it as a learning opportunity for your next interview.
And keep in mind it's hard to see into the future sometimes. Maybe you'd find after two years that you actually like what you're doing.
CourageAvailed: I agree with this more though.

1657436040 | 1657437778 | t3_vvlqf3 | t5_2to41 | 5 | throwwbcawayyy5: TIFU by getting into a fight at my friends 4th of july party
I'm a 16 year old girl and I went to a friends 4th of july party at her house. There were more people than I expected at the party. I was excited about going and when I got there I was having fun for the first few hours hanging with friends.
During the night, some of us were standing around and another girl came over to me and was saying she heard me talking behind her back about her and her bf. I told her that it wasn't true, but she was continuing to go on. Called me a fatass bitch, even though she was chubby herself.
I only shared my opinion about her to a friend of mine a few months ago, but that was all.
She was up in my face and punched me in the mouth. I hit her back and she pulled me down. She hit me a few times in the mouth and I could feel my tooth loose, she knocked out one of my front teeth and I was bleeding a bit down my shirt.
People were yelling at what was going on and my friends dad broke it up and threw us both out of the party and said we can't come back to his house.
When I got home my parents lost it and started yelling, now I have to get dental work to replace my missing tooth. Its been so frustrating with all this happening cause I went out and I look pretty bad missing a front tooth.
TL;DR: TIFU by getting into a fight at my friends 4th of july party and getting a tooth knocked out.
respectfulpanda: She shouldn't have attacked you. It was wrong of her to do so, and your parents should be holding her parents accountable for the bills.
*I only shared my opinion about her to a friend of mine a few months ago, but that was all. *
This is enough to sow a grudge that will fester if they found out.
It does not excuse the violence, however, if you truly didn't say anything at this party, didn't eye roll or make exaggerating comments, then I would question what her trigger was.
throwwbcawayyy5: Yeah I agree. I wasn't expecting it at all tbh

1657441091 | 1657471906 | t3_vvmwnj | t5_2to41 | 6,617 | Ephemeral_Flame: TIFU by showing my brother the intricacies of a tampon
Obligatory this just happened and I am traumatized. My 22 year old brother had never seen a tampon before. Being the good sister I am, I went and got one of my tampons to show him what it looked like & how it was used. We got a glass, filled it with water, and went on with the demonstration. Upon looking at the tampon in the glass, I realized with pure horror, that there were BUGS IN THE COTTON. Wtf. Wtf. Wtf. The package looked completely sealed when I opened it. I went back after this finding and looked at the other end of the wrapper and found the tiniest of holes (we only found said hole by filling the wrapper with water and squeezing). How in the hell did the bugs even fit through that damn hole, if it can even be called a hole??? I am so happy I didn't use that tampon for it's intended purpose. Though after the horrors of what I just witnessed, I may never use tampons again...
TLDR: demonstrated how tampons were used in a glass of water, which revealed bugs in the cotton of the tampon.
Edit: I have a picture and would add it, but I can't figure out how??
Edit #2: I put the photo on my profile page...it's labeled as the stuff of nightmares
scar12346: I am never putting a tampon inside my body ever again.
Ephemeral_Flame: I said the exact same thing. After that, I am done. No more. I did not sign up for that.
chopdominochop: Buy period panties. It will change your life. They don't feel like pads. I've not used a tampon in like 3 years.
ludicrousl: Yupp so true! Good ones mean you don't have to worry about leaking at night when you sleep too.
chopdominochop: Yep! I've actually never had a leakage problem and i tend to bleed pretty heavy in the middle of my period. I just made sure to buy enough pairs to be able to rotate then out through my period. They were pricey but they've lasted so long it's super worth it.
AlwaysObamasFault: So they are reusable? I’m so confused.
chopdominochop: Yes, you rinse them in the sink, then run through washer and lay out to dry.
Pads used to be reusable as well and this trend is coming back. Those pads are made out of fabric though.
JesusLuvsMeYdontU: like, the garage utility sink?
chopdominochop: It's literally just blood 🙃 I wash mine in the bathroom sink. Many women rinse their bloody underwear in all kinds of sinks.
Cold water removes bloodstains if caught quick 🤷🏻♀️ mom taught me that trick when I was 12.
JesusLuvsMeYdontU: I'm not trying to be rude. But it does seem kind of, unexpected I guess? I mean, what would you think if you found a guy pissing in your sink? I would think urine is less startling than blood. But what do I know
chopdominochop: I've actually known plenty of guys who have pissed in a sink when given no other options. And also you can lysol a sink?
When you cut your hand do you go out to your garage utility sink to clean it?
JesusLuvsMeYdontU: Right, you certainly can disinfect after, but the few times someone may need to use their sink for a bloody cut is different than washing out your bloody underwear in the same sink you use to wash your hands and brush your teeth and shave and so forth. It's just as a guy, it's a lot to process.
Pit_Soulreaver: Most sinks I know are made of glazed ceramics or similar smooth materials. Bacteria cannot adhere well to these surfaces, so after a brief rinse they are more germ-free than the door handle to the bathroom.
There is a Mythbusters episode where they show how far bacteria from faeces can spread through the air, even if you use the toilet properly.
Your disgust therefore has a psychological and not a scientific origin, unless you prepare food directly in the sink.
~~As a side note: urine is sterile and therefore a rather poor example of hygienic concerns.~~
I stand corrected: [Urine usually has very little and very few different bacteria and is therefore problematic if you want to store it. ](https://www.healthline.com/health/is-urine-sterile#why-its-not)
Cultural-Afternoon72: Urine is 100% not sterile. That's an old myth.
Pit_Soulreaver: Thank you for your correction.
From what I have found, it is still the cleanest thing our body normally has to offer.
Cultural-Afternoon72: No worries... it's an extremely common myth.
It's actually number 2 on the list, so you weren't far off... urine is about 95% water (that other 5% being all the nasty stuff the kidneys filter out, though). Saliva is actually the cleanest, at 99% water. This is, of course, assuming blood isn't present in the saliva, which could then transmit a bunch of nonsense, though that is equally true for urine.
Pit_Soulreaver: Although saliva has the higher chemical purity, I would not call it cleaner.
Saliva contains a much larger number of different microorganisms (between 500 and 1000, depending on the source), some of which are harmful. The average in urine is between 5.8 and 7.1.
Furthermore, most of the additional components of urine are harmless and largely unchangeable, while the composition of the oral flora depends strongly on eating and cleaning habits.
Cultural-Afternoon72: Fair enough
MisterH115: I love reddit, I really didn't need to know about the number of microorganisms in urine or saliva, but now I do.
Cultural-Afternoon72: And it was all thanks to some degenerate beetles hitching a ride on a tampon. #SilverLining

You can probably guess where this is going.
I’m in a small town for now. Got hyper fucked up at a friend’s going away party and woke up the next morning still drunk. I remembered being told that Drinking coffee helps you somehow some way with alcohol.
So I bought a big fucking Stök cold brew bottle. And drank it. All of it. On an empty stomach.
Was walking by a church and there were people going in and out and My stomach was hurting bad. I was gonna wait until I got back to where I was staying to puke but a car drove by and scared me somehow and I guess that was the last fucking straw because I stumbled to a tree and just fucking yeeted all that goddamn cold brew back up in an unholy swirl of black.
And by the time I’m done I got some on my fucking shoes. And people are watching in horror as I basically fucking show people what a liquid exorcism probably looks like.
I make eye contact with a lady before walking away as fast as possible without running. I was so embarrassed I cried about it later.
Tl;Dr maybe scared some bible people that being in the proximity of their church made the devil leave my body when I was just hungover and stupid.
Pardon any spelling errors. It is 4AM and I can’t sleep because I’m still thinking about it while cripplingly sober.
Creinium13: You coulda twisted that into an incredible win.
Leather_Astronaut_20: LMAO I WISH I KNEW HOW

1657442824 | 1657451259 | t3_vvnapo | t5_2to41 | 37 | katiebuhg33: TIFU by telling my brother his best friend mentioned trapping him.
My brother has a very complicated relationship with a girl. He cheated on his ex with her and has had an on and off fwb relationship for a few years now. They are best friends really and they spend most of their time together.
He however has been clear that he does not want to date her from the start because she is very irresponsible, narsisstic and co-dependant. He tells her and everyone else that there is absolutely no chance that he will ever be in a relationship with her.
It's common knowledge amongst our friends that she is obsessed and in love with him, having sabotaged his relationships with other women multiple times. She constantly assures him though that she is not in love with him and that she just sees him as a friend. She says she knows how he feels about her and is okay with just being friends. He always believes her and claims that he can't be blamed for her feelings because he has been upfront about his.
Last night we were hanging out and she was talking alot about how he was in denial about his feelings for her and that he is becoming depressed now that she is moving out (she stayed with us for a few months while she found a new place as she got evicted from her previous apartment). She then brought up a conversation initiated by her co-worker about trapping him by getting pregnant. She said that her and my brother had talked about what would happen if she did get pregnant and nearly boasted about how he said he would be the main bread winner through the pregnancy because he worried about her safty.
Before this throughout the day she was making tons of comments about how much sex they had, how he only cried in front of her, that he said his previous partner admitted to trying to ruin their friendship (not true, she cornered the girl and told her he was just getting it out of his system and would go back to her) and all around gabbing about how close they were. When I mentioned that he seemed really down since he ended contact with a different girl he was seeing she smiled and laughed.
So, this morning I told my brother what she had said. I was afraid that she would go through with it because of her desperate possessive attitude and the weird behavior she was displaying that day. I didn't want to see his life ruined by a girl who is more concerned about what he is giving her (he helps her with everything from budgeting to car maintenance. We covered his part of the blame as well in not holding boundaries and enabling her behavior) than his well being and happiness.
He was upset and he texted her that she needs to be out by Friday. He also said he wants to talk to her about it and he is telling her that I told him. At this point me and this girl have bonded, we have become friends and I actually like her aside from the scary manipulative tactics. I don't know why he would feel the need to tell her I told him unless it was to make sure I'm not lying. He had already decided to get more distance from her since the last incident with the girl he was seeing.
When I asked him if he was in a place where he wouldn't be fooled by her he said "what is she going to do? Tell me you're lying?" And I said yes. I didn't tell him in order to throw shade, I told him because I was worried about him but I think he believes the latter. Obviously I can't say not to tell her because that's not fair of me and it will also seem like I'm lying. At the same time I don't want him to tell her because I like her as a friend and I'm afraid of what she will say or do to me.
He said he would wait until she moved out to talk to her about it and despite everything she has done and lied about, the most he decided was that they "may need to take a break for a couple of months." I'm genuinely upset he is dragging this out with her because it's not fair to either of them.
Bottom line, I hate being in the middle of this but felt I needed to protect him in this instance. Now I am faced with having to be confronted by this girl because I told him what she said. I'm scared she will verbally berate me and I am a very non-confrontational person. Also I'm sad because this most certainly means the end of our friendship. Why does he have to tell her what I said? Maybe I should have stayed out of it. I feel betrayed by him and scared of what she will do.
TL;DR
My brother has a fwb who is obsessed and in love with him and regularly sabotages his potential relationships. She told me she spoke to a co-worker about trapping him by getting pregnant. I got worried and decided to tell him so he would know that's on her mind. My brother is kicking her out and talking to her about what I said and telling her I told him. I am afraid of what she will do and sad about the inevitable end of mine and the girls friendship.
koozy407: You sad about losing a person that would create a life just to “trap” another human in a relationship they have been clear about not wanting to be in?!? Bro, sounds like you are both better off. It is absolutely psychotic for a chick to bring a human in this world just to get her boyfriend to do what she wants. Surely you see that. Not to mention, you are “scared of what she will do”?!? This chick is toxic. RUN. TAKE YOUR BROTHER WITH YOU
katiebuhg33: Yes I do see that it's super fucked up and that's why I couldn't not tell him. It's super fucking toxic and bordering psychotic behavior and I also recognize me being afraid is not a good indication of her character.
That being said, yes, I am a bit sad. Over the few years I've known her she has been fun and helped me get out of my social comfort zone. The last few months we have bonded quite a bit.
People are multifaceted and capable of having very harmful coping mechanisms and reactive tendencies while also being loving, funny or loyal etc. But, I know he will be better off and I'm not losing a whole lot considering I would never trust her with anything very serious because I know how she is.
koozy407: Listen man, I get you have some kind of connection with her but some people are only meant to be in our life for a season. This girl has shown you her character, believe her. If you think you would somehow be exempt from her manipulation, you are only lying to yourself. And I know you know that. In fact, you know deep down you need to walk away from this chick or you never would have told your friend what she was doing.
On a side note, and please don’t be offended because I am making an assumption based off of what impression I (a stranger on Reddit) get from you (another stranger on Reddit) and your story buuuuutt…… it low key sounds like you have feelings for this chick.
This situation has horrible written all over it.
I edited my above statement because I didn’t realize you were a chick.
katiebuhg33: No I'm not fooled and I know I'm not exempt. I also don't have feelings for her haha. Yeah I'm a hetero woman. Interesting take though lol.
I can know she is unhealthy and manipulative and that boundaries need to be drawn or ties need to be cut while still feeling compassion for her and disappointment over the situation.
koozy407: I will be honest I skimmed the post and missed that you are a woman lol I edited my previous comment.
She is toxic, you need better friends than her. It’s hard walking away from friendships at times but it’s what needs to be done. Good luck

1657443664 | 1657448441 | t3_vvnhrj | t5_2to41 | 44 | Allhail__bread__: TIFU BY BUYING THE TICKETS FOR THE RIGHT MOVIE.
So here's what happened.
My cousin came from the UK for a vacation or something and wanted to watch the new Thor movie.
I booked the tickets for today online.
We were all set. The show was for 1.15 we reached there like 10 mins early and when we showed our tickets to kinda cross check with those people they scanned the qr code but an error occurred.
They tried entering the code but that didn't work either.
They told us to wait while the others were passing I checked my phone and then it hit me.
All the details in the ticket were correct. It's just that we were at the Wrong fu**ing place.
It turns out that I bought the ticket for the right movie at another place which was like an hour away.
We decided to watch someday else probably Wednesday.
I really don't want to mess it up this time tho.
Tl;DR I bought the tickets for the movie and went to the wrong place which was away from the place(almost an hour) that I had booked the tickets for.
blahblahtotok: Your situation is like putting your dick in the wrong hole
___Phreak___: That sounds anal
leeshylou: Yep. Sounds like a shitty situation

1657446747 | 1657456470 | t3_vvo6jn | t5_2to41 | 186 | Whatabutt_: TIFU by getting high and forgetting how to get on the bed
On my last year of college I had to move in a dorm. I was always socially awkward, and I never lived with strangers before. So I got a 2 bed room, and I found out my roommate is from a different country. I knew his languege a bit, but it was always awkward trying to have a conversation. Off to a great start.
So as the weeks passed we never found the same tone. We never argued but I just couldn't dig his vibe and I felt he didnt like me much either. Then this one time he asked if I wanted to join his friends to smoke. Now, I only once had a good time on weed ever. Other times were always bad trips but I just pushed through, thinking maybe next time.
We got together, and I got pretty high, as I had a low tolerance. I tried vibing and all, but they started talking on their language and I just couldnt make any sense of it. This made me feel left out, and I got hearth rush. I knew I had to get out of there before this gets even worse for me. So I said goodbyes and left back to our room. I was just mindig my business when unexpectedly my roommate and his gf came back too. At this stage I felt every kind of horrible, like I way dying or some shit, whith hearth racing, cold sweats, you know the drill... At that point I couldnt talk to them because I couldnt speak their language while high.
They got into bed, and turned their reading lamps off. I couldn't wait to lay down too, so when I finally came to it I faced an unexpected obstacle.
How. How am I supposed to lay down, again? How do people lay down? What do I do in this bed, to get horizontal in it? I thought I used to do it a couple of times before but then for the life of me I coulnd not remember.
So I'm standing in front of the bed, and I can feel my rommate and his gf watching me. Of course they would watch, I just randomly froze as I was getting into bed. So what am I doing here? Well, I didnt know either. But I felt the pressure to do something. If I didnt act they might think something is wrong with me. Act normal, act normal, act normal... But I had to twist my brains so hard on how to get in bed. So in my hesitation I took a step, up in the bed. Like I was stepping up on a stair. So, great, but now I am standing ON it, still not what I need. I fucked up. What now? I felt my face melt, still thinking on what to do, while awkwardly standing on the bed. I need to get closer down now... I just squatted down, okay better. I grabbed my blanket, threw myself back and finally achieved the impossible.
After this little incident I laid off weed for good, but this memory always makes me chuckle, its so absurd.
Tldr: I got so high one time that I forgot how to get in bed, and put on an awkward show for my roommate.
[deleted]: My best friend and I went camping once and got high. We had a little wooden step thing to step out of our wellies (waterproof/rain boots, not sure how international ‘wellies’ is) onto to keep the tent clean. I had to go throw up in the bushes and when I came back I couldn’t for the life of me remember how to lift my leg to step out of my boots. I nearly fell over, so in my wisdom decided to lean on the guy ropes and nearly pulled the whole tent down. My friend was no help at all just laughing and watching me struggle, so eventually I decided to just dive in head first and ended up falling asleep with my boots still on sticking out of the tent. Not my finest moment but one of my favourite memories
Intelligent-Store321: >not sure how international ‘wellies’ is
I dont know about other places, but in Australia they're "Gum Boots".
[deleted]: Yes, those things

1657450310 | 1657479432 | t3_vvoz8y | t5_2to41 | 19,606 | camel_toe_rag: TIFU by comforting my new puppy in the middle of the night…
So this happened last night, but I am most definitely still feeling the ramifications of my little miscalculation.
Three days ago, myself and my fiancé picked up our gorgeous Cocker Spaniel puppy, Barnaby. All was going well and he’s a lovely dog and we both adore him.
As with most puppies, he is still adjusting to life away from his mother and littermates and requires comforting at times during the night.
Last night was my turn to get up and comfort him in his pen, which we have set up in our bedroom to keep him close while he adjusts.
Around 1am this morning he woke, yelping and I proceeded to get out of bed to comfort him and get him back to sleep.
Now at this point it’s pertinent to say, I sleep completely naked and that our puppy is at the stage where he is ‘mouthing’, in other words biting everything he comes in to contact with.
I think you can guess where this is going…
I proceed to climb over, in to his pen and begin to kneel down by him, as I do this he jumps up and latches himself on to my phallus, with what felt like all the force of a raging animal, sinking his teeth deep in to the shaft, both front and back.
I let out a blood curdling scream, waking my partner, who woke to a horrific scene of me, profusely bleeding from the penis and the puppy jumping up and down in excitement thinking it’s some kind of sick game of catch the phallus.
Fast forward to this morning and I am in a great deal of pain, having two puncture marks, both front and back on the shaft of my penis and terrible bruising on around 30% of it.
LPT: Never enter a puppies pen naked.
TL;DR I got up in the middle of the night to comfort my pup, naked and he bit my penis causing a great deal of pain, bleeding and bruising.
EDIT: I’ve just had my hospital appointment. I was asked whether I would be happy with a female nurse, I said sure, my partner had to come with me as a chaperone (not sure what they thought the nurse was going to do to me) as I sheepishly explained the whole saga, the nurse examined my mangled manhood and confirmed there was no sign of infection, no antibiotics required.
By this time both the nurse and my partner are finding it hilarious. She proceeded to clean the wounds, which only made my partner laugh even harder.
She gave me a tetanus booster and I was on my way with the advice to keep it clean (luckily I do anyway) and to refrain from any sexual intercourse (I don’t know if that was ever on the cards atm anyway!) and I was on my way, with the nurse still laughing as I left.
UPDATE: I contacted ‘NHS 111’ and was called back by a doctor who said I definitely should have been prescribed antibiotics. He has prescribed me co-amoxiclav, which I have had to collect from the hospital. Worrying why the nurse didn’t arrange for them to be prescribed in the first place. Thank you to the doctor who commented advising me I should of been prescribed them.
Labradawgz90: Sorry to hear about that. However, don't get up in the middle of the night to comfort your puppy. If you do, you will have to continue to do so. Put an old shirt over your pillow and sleep on it. Put it in your puppy's pillow to sleep with and try to get him to sleep through the night. If he wakes up, take him out quickly...with pants on. And get him back in his pen. If you keep him as active as you can during the day, hopefully he will sleep through the night soon. I have raised many puppies. I have a labrador puppy who is 9 weeks now. He sleeps through the night. Hope you feel better.
camel_toe_rag: Thanks, embarrassingly I’m a professional dog trainer, so well aware of creating an issue.
He is taken out, as you rightly point out. He does, however simply have initial anxiety being in a new home and just requires a little stroke on the head and he nods off again. So most of the time no pent up energy.
It’s been gradually withdrawn and will likely not be required tonight, so will not create an issue.
Candymanshook: As a pro dog trainer wouldn’t you be aware that regardless of how easily he falls asleep with a stroke on the head you are creating a positive feedback loop where he will associate crying in his cage with affection?
Saquon: Ah I see we’ve reached the part of the comment section where a redditor thinks they know better than a professional
Dirty-M518: I mean..he is right though(commenter not op). To be a professional dog trainer all you have to do is give yourself the title..really there is 0 training. You can call yourself one today and take clients tomorrow.
By getting up and comforting the dog instead of ignoring them..he is telling the puppy if you whine, I come. Reinforce it enough at a young age..your going to have a puppy with seperation anxiety..which I believe cocker spaniels are prone to anyway. So he will have a very stressed pup in a few months.
And you can't gradually withdrawn/ take it away from the puppy in 1 day and expect for them to be like, yeah it will be OK tonight I wont nees it. He Still gonna whine tonight..I guarentee it.
Candymanshook: Yup. I’ve always just ignored my puppies at night and after a week or two they will generally sleep through the night, the biggest issue is them having accidents which you can prevent by timing a few bathroom breaks and increasing the increments of them.
Don’t worry though, I’m not a professional, so completely disregard my advice despite dogmanship being something anyone can master with experience.
Dirty-M518: Same..my aussie pup when he whined I woke up, didn't speak to em. Let em out..pee/poop, good pee, back in the crate..back to my bed and headphones in. After a week he slept through the night.
Also not a professional..but my aussie is 2.5 now and have trained them immensely in tricks/agility..and he doesn't have seperation anxiety so thats a +.
Candymanshook: Good for you! Honestly you only need a professional dog trainer if your dog has serious issues that aren’t safe to pluck away with. Like a dangerous dog etc.
My dad grew up in the Prairies raising working dogs it isn’t rocket science we’ve been doing it for millennia.
Dirty-M518: True...my dog is reactive(not aggressive) and I even work on that myself. Aussies tend to be more reserved stranger danger anyway.
Most people get perfect dogs with no issues and are like its easy!...it is until you have a reactice dog with seperation anxiety..mostly caused by the owner.
MrBabbs: Any tips for non-aggressive reactive dogs? Our relatively new rescue dog wants to be friends with everyone and everything. He jumps, lunges, and barks. We've been slowly trying to let him see triggers from a distance and praising him when he pays attention to us, but we live in a fairly quiet neighborhood so triggers aren't always easy to come by...except deer, but they show up so abruptly it's usually too late for anything but pull and turn the other way.
Dirty-M518: Depends on your training style. The way you are doing it can work..but will take awhile. Dogs learn on repetition..so if you only let him watch from afar amd praise once a day...or every 4th day..he wont pick up on what you want. You need to go somewhere and do it multiple times over like 15mins...and again later that day. Repetition, repetition..over and over.
My method is operant conditioning which is faster..but people are on a p+ only spree..which is hard for behavior modification. Easy to train with..hard to modifiy. He reacts I tell him leave it, correct him..then praise when he is good. No to the bad..praise to the good.

1657450017 | 1657461055 | t3_vvowuc | t5_2to41 | 88 | -InsertNameHere_-: TIFU by letting my friend babysit my little brother
I (24M) am my little brother's (7M) legal guardian since my mum died and my dad's out of the picture, I just came out of university and now work at an entry level HR job. One night I was going out to an event with a few friends, my now ex friend we will call J (25M) I asked to babysit for the one night (which of course I payed him for) he said yes so before the night I go out I introduce them to each other so my little brother doesn't feel like he's being watched by a stranger, it all goes well and when the night comes around I drop him off at my house an go to the event, when I come back I hear aggressive crying and my friend shouting at my little brother from his room, I run up the stairs to see what's going on. I see my little brother scrunched up into a little ball in the corner of his room balling his eyes out, over the yelling I shout at my friend asking him to tell my what's going on, he said word to word "THIS LITTLE TWAT WON'T COMPLY WITH MY ORDERS" his orders?
I had no idea he had this side of him, and then my brother butts in "he slapped me" he said through tears I needed to hear no more, I forced him out of my house, and cared to my little brother, it took him around half an hour to stop crying, he won't leave his room and J has been blowing up my phone with texts and calls all of which I ignored, what should I do?
TL;DR my (ex) friend verbally and physically assaulted my little brother when babysitting him.
oflimiteduse: Call the police on this POS.
International_Lab203: 100%, this is a serious offence that will surely be repeated sooner or later. It needs to be on record. So sorry this happened to your lil bro and you.

1657456046 | 1657470129 | t3_vvqfsh | t5_2to41 | 0 | CameronG95: TIFU by putting the wrong petrol in my parents car
Fuck up happened yesterday, found out today.
Back Story:
When I moved into London, I sold my car and spent 4 years not driving until January this year when I relearned to drive in my parents car so I could take my new puppy to the vets and park.
Their car is an automatic which the first time driving an automatic so took a bit to get used to but over the past few months, I got back to where I was.
Now onto the fuck up...
I borrowed the car Friday to take my puppy to the vets to get spayed and then had to drop it off yesterday. Now normally I give my parents petrol money rather than filling up myself but due to them going away and needing the car to get there, they asked me to fill up for them. I asked if it takes the "normal" petrol. They said yes.
So this is my first time filling up this car, my previous car 4 years ago was Diesel, my parents previous car was Diesel and to me, that is the "normal" petrol. I guess you can see where the fuck up is.
I filled the car up with Diesel, drove the car to their house and dropped off the keys.
Today, I got a message from my mum asking if there was anything wrong with the car. Apparently they was able to drive to the gym, but driving back it was chugging. Then she asked what petrol I put in the car, I said the normal, Diesel. That's when I was told that the car takes Unleaded.
I feel absolutely terrible as I should have confirmed what petrol the car takes and now they have to wait hours for RAC to turn up and pump the petrol out of the system and then see if the car is buggered. Luckily this happened prior to driving to their holiday location but not exactly a great start for them.
TL;DR: Borrowed my parents automatic car, they asked me to fill up the car with petrol, I put Diesel in, car takes Unleaded, ruining the start of their holidays.
[Puppy Tax](https://www.reddit.com/r/rarepuppers/comments/vv86no/our_baby_girl_got_spayed_yesterday_luckily_the/)
Update: They drained the car and says there's no damage which is good. Just needs a refill and will take a bit to get all the air out of the system and then they'll be able to head out and also all came under insurance.
Luckily, they couldn't check in until 6:30pm so they had time before they had to get there. Just glad I didn't totally ruin everything.
Splyce123: How the fuck do you mix up petrol and diesel? Diesel is not petrol.
CameronG95: I've not had to refuel a car in over 4 years so the words combined in my head
Splyce123: They're two different fuels. It would be like mistaking wine for beer.
Also, you've been driving it, how can you not tell the difference between a petrol and diesel engine?!?!
dogpetter101: Bruh chill lol
Splyce123: I just can't believe the stupidity of some people. It even tells you which fuel to use when you pop the petrol cap.

[deleted]
Lurkerphobia: It's your life but if someone wants to date me and not tell anyone about it that's a red flag to me.
You should be able to, at the least, say yes I'm dating them but its early on so we'll see how it goes.
Keeping it a secret just leads to more problems and hurt feelings later. I would ask her to clarify exactly why it needs to be a secret, more likely I would tell her to piss off if I'm not good enough to tell people about.
Elegant-Pen775: It's not that I cant tell people, she just doesnt want that the whole school at once knows, because she gets stressed by outside presure. I've known her for years before so by now how and why she acts the way. (Family Expectations.... She is seeing her Therapist bc of that)
And we both refrained from puting a lable on this thing bc we are right now just seeing where it goes. But thanks for the time :)

1657457295 | 1657484155 | t3_vvqsar | t5_2to41 | 119 | Old-Union5459: TIFU by being the most clueless and innocent person
This actually happened a few days ago and I keep laughing at myself so I thought I'd share. I had agreed to go on a second date with a girl. The first date had gone well and I had a really good time as I believe did she. I felt like she was a likeminded person and very likeable and attractive. The second date was on a rainy day so we decided to watch a movie and go see the sunset. Everything starts going well and we start cuddling during the movie. We leave to watch the sunset but manage to miss it. Regardless we sit on the beach and talk for a while. We decide to go back to my place to eat and chat. At my place we start another movie and cuddle through it. She was tired so I offered for her to stay over. We start cuddling and fooling around in my bed. (Note: I am not a virgin but inexperienced regardless.) Somehow I manage to fumble at this point and it leads to nothing. But this isn't even the worst part. We sleep through the night and in the morning we start cuddling again and then more fooling around. After a while she literally gets on top of me and we fool around for a while but it manages to lead in to nothing. I did try to escalate it but maybe missed a couple necessary steps so it again leads in to nothing. I knew it could have led to something more but just thought she just wants to fool around and nothing more. Then a day later I realize how oblivious I had been. Obviously I do not know for sure if she wanted to actually have sex or not but later that day I realized how oblivious I managed to be. Now I have a feeling she might not be interested in seeing me again as I am a bit oblivious. Which is unfortunate because I thought she was a genuinely fun and a good person.
Had to tell someone as its incredibly hilarious but absolutely can not let my friends know how hard I fumbled the bag.
TL;DR My date literally got on top of me in bed and I managed to get out of this sticky situation with talking!
DistantKarma: OK, as a guy who definitely missed badly on some very obvious invitations when I was young, I'm pretty sure if she wound up on top of me, in the bed, that the light bulb would finally go off. Just tell her you were nervous because she's so amazing. (:
Old-Union5459: Yea I guess but that might be coming on a bit heavy considering we've only met twice.
Pagnecham: Or you could just be honest and tell her the truth lol, nothing embarrassing or awkward about that.
Old-Union5459: This is most likely what I am going to do. Don't want to be dishonest especially about something this insignificant and honestly funny.
Newbori: Don't wait too long. Tell her you really like her, enjoyed fooling around and would love to take it to the next level if she's (still) down.

1657461909 | 1657485780 | t3_vvs6w7 | t5_2to41 | 14 | EfficientKnee5371: TIFU by shouting "Imma bust a fat one" at my school camping trip. All of my teachers and my entire grade heard it.
So yesterday I came back from a school camping trip. It was around 3 days and it was pretty much everyone in my grade going and all of my teachers apart from a few were there. We were all at a camp site, and we were all in tents in twos and all of the tents were spaced around 15 inches away from each other. Very cramped indeed. These tents were extremely thin and not a single sound wave was muffled or blocked by these things. I could hear like 20 different people whispering at once and could properly hear their conversations, only to find out that they were like 6 tents away from mine. But then it was getting to bedtime, and then the teachers got us all to shut up and go to bed. And then my friend said to me "don't jerk off here please, I'm not gay" and then I said "yeah, of course, I won't, but I will burst a fat one when I get home? ARE YOU GOING TO BUST A FAT ONE AS WELL? (insert very loud laughing sounds "BAHAHAHAHAH")
The teachers were out making sure that people were asleep, patrolling the camp and then one of them said to me "Reece, be quiet. People are trying to sleep". But then I heard giggles and people trying very hard to not burst out in laughter around me and this one kid who just was dying in laughter. The teachers definitely heard it too, because my tent was right next to the teachers, just by coincidence.
The next morning, my gym teacher (probably around 30M but he looks like he's 19M) just started bursting in laughter when he saw my face. We both knew what had happened. "That was a bit too loud last night", he said.
Everyone had definitely heard it and they knew it was me because I have an extremely distinguishable voice. The teachers didn't really say much to me though, most of them acted like nothing had ever happened, but they DEFINITELY DID hear it. They'll never look at me the same way. I know that they know that all 16-year-old boys do it, but the fact that I shouted it out loud and they directly heard it is different.
tl;dr: School camping trip, shouted "i'm going to bust a fat one when I get home" when joking around with my friend because I momentarily thought that the tents would muffle it up even though they're essentially opaque solid air. All of my teachers heard and everyone in the trip heard.
AcrobaticSource3: Okay, but don’t leave us in suspense: did you in fact bust a fat one when you got home?

1657467811 | 1657536303 | t3_vvu6pl | t5_2to41 | 46 | CU-thr0waway: TIFU by offering someone (F) I did not know an unopened beverage at a gathering in my (M) apartment.
Obligatory statement that this happened 4 months ago. I (m) had a small gathering in my apartment for the first time since COVID. Very low key, snacks, board games, some music in the background, nothing serious. Just an opportunity to catch up with people together. I invited 2 M/F couples, one of my friends (M), my neighbor friend (F), who asked to bring her friend (F). Neither I, my friend, nor one of the two couples had ever met the neighbor's friend, but otherwise all know each other.
Like I said, the evening was very low key, just laughing and telling stories of the past 2 years. At one point, neighbor's friend, call her (A), asks my neighbor (B) for an alcoholic beverage. Since it is my apartment and wanting to be a good host, plus being closest to the kitchen, asks her which kind she wants, and then go and get it.
I return with it from the refrigerator, unopened, hand it to her and say, "here you go!" and that is where things go south:
A: "I'm not taking that."
Me: "I'm sorry, I thought you said you wanted this drink?"
A: "But not from you. I don't accept drinks from men I don't know."
B: "CU-thr0waway, A was date-raped 12 years ago and doesn't feel comfortable accepting drinks from strangers."
Me: "I'm so sorry, I had no idea. Feel free to take anything from the fridge you'd like."
A: "No, I don't know what you've put in there."
Now, my male friend (C) thinks this is odd and chimes in:
C: "B, you do realize that CU-thr0waway had no idea about your friend's date rape, and didn't know she even existed until a few hours ago. He's trying to be a good host. Whether he's the one takes the drink \*from his fridge\* which is \*in his home\* or you do, doesn't change the fact that the drink is sealed. He's being polite and considerate. You asked for a beverage which means you are ok with it being from this person, and yet you don't want ti because this person is not someone you know well. Do you want a beverage or not?"
Me: "C, let it go, it's no problem, I was just closest to the fridge."
Now, one of the two couples responds: "You never offer a woman who's been date-raped a drink like that, open or not, in your own home or not."
Me: "I didn't know this about A until 15 seconds ago and I had never met her before in my life. How could I have known this about her? Are you telling me that I shouldn't get something that a guest requested of me to them in my own home?"
At this point, A starts crying, B is pissed, and the couple think this is entirely my fault. The other couple then says: "Y'all need to just calm down, this is nbd."
Well, B announces she's leaving and taking A with her, the first couple decides it's late, and they all leave in less than 3 minutes of my having said "here you go."
I feel like shit at this point and tell the remaining friends we should probably call it a night, and they spend the next hour trying to cheer me up. I still feel terrible and the aftermath has led to some bad stuff:
In no particular order, but all on the same night, B texted C and cussed him out at 0'dark thirty for defending me. C kicked the dude from the couple that left right away, out of their fantasy league. The lady from same couple told the lady from the couple that stayed to cheer me up she was no longer invited to her upcoming birthday trip. B will not acknowledge me in the hallway. A and the guy from the couple that stayed apparently have a mutual friend (whom I don't know) whom they both told the story to, who is now in the middle and telling everyone he knows the story.
TL;DR I said "here you go" while offering an opening drink to a friend of a friend, and now a small group of friends has split into factions.
Mundane-Ad-9817: I feel like it got dragged on too much which is probably why A started crying. I think it should have been left at "oh I'm sorry." When she declined the drink. Trauma makes people act differently and have 'irrational' fears
TyphoidMary234: To be fair, it’s on the person with the trauma to prepare for situations like this. I have trauma, doesn’t mean I go around making everyone else fit around my problems. She either A shouldn’t have asked for a drink, or B, brought her own.
This is just bad coping mechanisms.
Mundane-Ad-9817: I wasn't saying it more to be an explanation of behavior not an excuse.

OrioleMoonflip: I'm so weirded out by the comments OP is making. Like, they're practically begging people to feed into their humiliation fantasy.
JohnArce: desperate little shit. "I'm hoping the stewardess doesnt see this" don't post it then, numbnuts.
Posting it is one thing, but engaging with every single comment gives it away.
OrioleMoonflip: Exactly! And the things he's saying? He's almost begging people to fill in details of how they think he was shamed in his sleep.
supagirl277: He also weirdly included how he might have been rude to them about overhead space too. He wants to be ridiculed
OrioleMoonflip: Right! That literally has nothing to do with the story. It just makes him look like a bad person.

bongart: Dude... I have to say this... you didn't need to out your brother on here. You could have just said that when you opened the laptop, you saw something that you cannot forget and that changed how you see your brother, and not in a good way. You didn't actually have to detail what you saw. His sexuality is his business... and you just made it everyone else's business.
Yes, I know, this is likely a throw-away account. At least, I hope it is. But even with anonymity, you don't just out someone like that. You don't. Ever.
**You went and invaded someone's privacy**, and now you really regret it. Maybe confessing to your brother, and letting him deal with what you now know, can help you get back to the point where you can look him in the face.
Crafty-Neat-7748: What? I never once outed him, I didint say I dont like him anyomore because I saw it, I didint say he shouldnt have done that, and I didin't make it anyones business, I literally just wanted to talk about it with someone YOU made it YOUR business by acting like I outed him when the worst thing I did was telling people who don't know me or him becaus I wanted to let it out, I'm not sure if you know this but sometimes talking about stuff helps, and if i talked about it to someone in real life then I actually would be outing therefore you shouldnt be so critical over nothing.
bongart: >I never once outed him
I did not know your brother was interested in other guys sexually, before you posted this. Now, I and everyone else on reddit who read this post knows your brother is interested in guys. That would be the DEFINITION of "outing" someone. You... telling other people about your brother's sexual preferences.
What do YOU think "outing" someone means?
CogentCacophony: Gay guy here; no specific individual was called out by name. We do not know who OP is, nor the brother. Who specifically was outed then? I use Reddit completely anonymously, interacting with no one from my day to day existence.
That said, If OP has no problem with gay, what exactly is the concern? Also, your brother could be curious; it isn’t uncommon for men to notice others without any implications. I would say this is a good lesson for OP around keeping one’s nose out of others business. Devices are password protected specifically to keep personal information private, and often adult oriented.
Nose into anyone else’s privacy and expect to be surprised or shocked that they may not fit the persona they convey to you or what’s in your head. Being an adult is complex, challenging, and agonizing/miserable at times.
bongart: I stand corrected by someone more knowledgeable as to the definition of being "outed". Thank you.
CogentCacophony: Understand; respect.

[deleted]
SmittyManJensen_: If it makes you feel any better, she hasn’t been interested for awhile.
EmbarassedCow: perhaps so, idk anymore. I've thought of letting her go, it's just that whenever I felt like doing it, I ended up thinking of her and then just chatting her again.

1657471198 | 1657473709 | t3_vvvdvs | t5_2to41 | 10 | sazulaa: TIFU by leaving my used pad in the bathroom.
It was a Saturday night full of family time, watching movies and eating pizza. Unfortunately, my underwear was also full of blood. Yep, it was that time of the month.
I gathered my things and got ready to have a nice, warm shower. I washed and got out, getting changed and sorting out my lady stuff. But turns out I may have forgotten something...
I left the bathroom and headed back to my room. A few hours passed of gaming and watching Netflix until a thought popped into my head - something that I think about a lot, but usually isn't true.
*You left your pad in the bathroom.*
I had a long hard think about this and eventually, I was convinced I had left my used pad in the bathroom this time. I practically sprinted to the bathroom. And there it was, the red pad sitting on the counter for anyone to see (and smell) when they walk in.
And just as I thought it couldn't get any worse, I realised the light was on. Which meant my Dad had been in there.
I quickly disposed of the pad and on my way back to my bedroom, my Dad said to me 'what's up my drilla,' so I guess I shouldn't be too worried.
TL;DR
I was on my period and had a shower, dealing with my lady business since it was *that* time of the month. I didn't realise I had left my dirty pad in there until hours later. I know my dad must have seen it because the light was on. But after I disposed of it and walked out, I bumped into him and he said 'what's up my drilla,' so I guess I shouldn't be too worried.
___Phreak___: It happens. It's natural. My gf has left tampons in the toilet a few times, it's no big deal
OkVolume1: Do not flush a tampon.
___Phreak___: She doesn't... hence it being left on the side

1657475015 | 1657477012 | t3_vvwrgg | t5_2to41 | 20 | nilesanders98: TIFU by cheating on my pregnant girlfriend.
Yes, the story is just as the title says. I’m in the complete fault for this and don’t expect any sympathy, but also don’t send me death threats.
One night a few weeks ago I went out with some co-workers after work, we had been planning on it for a few days and it was known to my girlfriend. She was excited to have a night to herself to watch movies and cook for one. I insisted that I make food before work so she can just heat it up but she insisted. She was about three months pregnant at the time.
Back to that night, we were drinking heavily while walking around the city late at night—yeah, not a good idea. I came home before I got out of my mind intoxicated and could still make my own decisions and not act like a total idiot (almost.)
I counted the floors wrong when headed up to my apartment, and ended up trying to unlock my downstairs neighbor’s door—who opened it when he heard me failing to put my key in the doorknob.
A little backstory on this guy, he’s a little older than me, mid 20’s. Me and my girlfriend have had a threesome with him before, about a month or so before this happened. When I say threesome, I mean my girlfriend is kind of into voyeurism and asked me if she could watch me and him get it on.
Seeing me at the door, he thought it was a hint and pulled me inside his apartment. Like I said, I was drunk—but it’s no excuse and I was still conscious enough to make my own decisions, one of which included me deciding to have sex with this guy.
I don’t remember much about it, apparently I passed out immediately afterwards and he brought me to my actual apartment—handing me over to my girlfriend while leaving out the part where I just cheated on her.
Once I woke up hungover with all my memories of what I’d done, I wanted to kill myself from the guilt. For years I had been struggling with hyper-sexuality as a result of trauma and previous assault. My girlfriend was who pushed me to get help and recover, and this was how I repaid her?
I admitted to my horrible mistake that same morning, and she was shocked to say the least. But she told me she understood, my hyper-sexuality had taken advantage while I was vulnerable. I expected to be screamed at, broken up with, hit? But she just hugged me and told me I owed her big time.
I’ll never understand her, but I’m eternally grateful and baffled she didn’t leave. I deserved it for that big of a fuck up.
About a week later, she miscarried from natural causes. It’s been hard on both of us and I’ve been by her through the tough times.
I know that what i did was a huge mistake, so please don’t tell me what I already know.
TLDR: I got drunk and had sex with my downstairs neighbor, unknown to my pregnant girlfriend. She forgave me for it because I was recovering from hyper-sexuality.
jeremyfrankly: I get that trauma makes you sexual but I don't see how any of that affects the choices you made. Unless you were so drunk that it was rape, you knew what you were doing and chose to do it anyway.
That poor woman.
nilesanders98: I’ll admit, I wasn’t black out drunk. But I was drunk enough that I could barely move, I crawled up the stairs trying to get to my floor
He didn’t ask for my consent or anything, just kinda used me like a toy
jeremyfrankly: Oh, so you didn't consent? You should maybe call the police, just to get it on file?
ConferenceOk1110: Nowhere in OPs story did he say he didn't want to have sex at that moment. You want him to file a police report so he can say to his girl: "Look, look! I was raped!!! Not my fault".
Fuck that. Own up to your mistakes.

This really happened today. It was midnight and I just had the urge to eat something sweet. So I took some chocolate cupcakes from the kitchen and placed them on my bed while setting up something to watch on my phone. I ate two of them while watching and there was one remaining next to me.
Then I FELL ASLEEP (I don't even know how!). I woke up hours later confused and looked at what I could only describe as sh*t literally hit the fan. There was chocolate everywhere. On my sheet. My pillows. My clothes. My legs. My face. My phone. Even the drawers next to me (like how the hell did it get there!?). I'm looking at it right now and the only thing I want to do is throw the whole room out. It's that bad. How do you even start cleaning this up?!
TL;DR, slept with a chocolate cupcake on my bed. Rolled it like dough on a kitchen table.
demonic_truth: Dude, I've done this so many times
RandomGuy111945: ... How? I'll never get any food on my bed again.
demonic_truth: Its always something small, a chocolate bar or maybe something chocolate coated, and it always ends up everywhere

1657479859 | 1657570664 | t3_vvyhve | t5_2to41 | 10 | yas9in: tifu by sleeping in dog pee
This didn’t happen today, but a few weeks ago. I was travelling to London and was staying at a friend’s house. If you’re from the UK, you know what a loft is. It’s this extra bit of space on the top of a house which had been left empty for some reason, and people renovate houses to open it and turn it into an extra room which is usually at the top of some really small staircase.
Anyway, my friend has a dog, a beautiful saluki, and I love dogs, and get along with him perfectly, even taking him for walks from time to time. One day I make my bed and leave the house and go to meetings all day, apparently forgetting to close the loft door, because I assumed the dog didn’t climb those stairs. Big mistake.
That night I get back and see a big stain on my sheets, but have no clue what’s happened. It smells weird, but not terrible, like a can of tuna in olive oil. I’m completely bemused and have no clue what happened, but am very sleepy so just put on my eye mask and go to sleep. This is where the fu happened. The next day I told my friend about the weird stain, and she immediately realised what had happened - says he’s done it before, because I’m a male and he’s marking territory.
So apparently my eye mask was also affected, and a few weeks later I now have a small infection next to my left eye, it’s like a pimple. I’m also completely traumatised from the smell and sometimes have nightmares of sleeping there.
tl;dr: left bedroom door open, slept in dog pee, got an infection and traumatised for life.
someawfulbitch: You saw a puddle/wet spot in your bed. It smelled like tuna/oil, so you shrug and go to sleep in it?!?
yas9in: It was already dried by that point. So I pushed the covers aside and slept to the side trying to stay away from it.
someawfulbitch: I'm unsure of how that makes it any less disgusting
yas9in: It doesn’t

1657480352 | 1657530364 | t3_vvyoe7 | t5_2to41 | 902 | ohotadima: TIFU by getting scammed by my own friend
It happened an hour ago and my wife is still mad at me.
My close friend calls me and he is in panic. He ask me to send him 15000 roubles (about 250$), says that he'll give it back in 1-2 weeks. I've never heard him being scared so much, his voice was trembling, he was in shock.
I immediatly heard this scam call vibe, so I double-chcecked the phone numbers, called him back, asked if he really needed that money, he said that it's urgent as hell. I also recieve this panic vibe, emotions go strong, and I send him money without thinking much. I didn't even discuss it with my wife who was in the next room.
Then I send him a text "what's going on buddy, what kind of trouble are you in?" and tell my wife that I've sent him money. Fair enouth, my wife gets mad at me because I haven't even discussed it with her, and the whole situation feels like scam. But I'm 100% sure that it was my friend who was callng and he's in trouble.
So my friend calls be back in 10 minutes and tells me that it was a huge mistake that I've sent him the money. Yesterday he was wasted and had been calling some hookers, left his phone number on some scam websites. Today he got the call and an angry voice was telling him "if you don't send us 15000 roubles (about 250$) we'll slam into your flat and kick the shit out you and everyony who is near you". He had a huge hangover and believed it was true. So he called me and that's how I got involved into this scam shit.
Now my wife is mad at me and my friend owes me money.
TL;DR: my friend got scammed and I borrowed him money to send it for scammers.
SnooCheesecakes1269: That's not the worst excuse I've heard someone make up on the spur of the moment to cover up for a drunken hooker binge, but it is kind of crappy of you to bring your friend into the whole thing. As long as you get away with it this time, I suppose it's okay. It's just gonna be awkward having that friend over for visits from now on.
phyrestorm999: OP isn't the one who went on the binge. He's the one who gave money to the friend who did.
RachelSnow812: I believe they are implying that it's a false flag operation. That OP did gp on a hooker binge, spent the money, and then made up the friend in need scam to cover for it.
So instead of a hooker fuck up, it's a loaning a stupid drunken friend fuck up. One of those fuck ups is worse than the other, so it's like pleading guilty to a lesser offense for leniency. At the expense of a friend's reputation.
phyrestorm999: Why post it here, then? Your idea might make sense as a story to tell his wife, but not us.
SnooCheesecakes1269: Obviously he posted this so that his wife would see it and continue to believe his story
ohotadima: My wife doesn't know English that well to read posts and comments on Reddit. I just wanted to share my experience in order other peole didn't fall into scam like this

1657481988 | 1657511738 | t3_vvz97n | t5_2to41 | 8,940 | wazer-wifle96: TIFU - took a secret trip to buy an engagement ring, now my girlfriend thinks I'm cheating.
I've been planning on proposing to me partner for a long time now, I've got this big surprise trip planned, and I've kept it on the down-low perfectly so far - until now.
The last thing I needed to do was buy an engagement ring, so I went to two different cities to browse engagement rings, obviously keeping it a secret from her.
Google maps on my phone was logged into her Google account, little did I know it tracks your every move and you can look at past journeys.
She was looking at a recent journey she did (she works out of home/office a lot) and saw that someone had obviously been to these different places and asked me about it.
I'm a terrible liar, so I said I did go there but I can't tell her why, and now she thinks Ive gone to see another girl.
Google maps royally fucked my over 😬
TL:DR Google maps tracks all of your journeys, I didn't sign out of my GF's account and she's seen me taking suspect trips when I was meant to be working.
Edit: just want to clear all the "red flag" comments - she doesn't think I'm cheating now that I've explained that I can't tell her what it is, but it's a surprise. One of her thoughts when she saw that I had lied about going to work to go to another city was that I had gone to see another woman.
Malinut: Ignore the untrusting comments, anyone might ask about that, it doesn't make her untrusting. I ask myself wtf was I doing "there" sometimes!
Better get on with it dude!
wazer-wifle96: Lol, redditors love to be armchair counsellors 😂 Once I explained that it's for something good but I just can't tell her about it yet, she was fine. Lying about going to work when I was going to another city is very out of character for me so I can understand her initial suspicion
sansvie95: Before my husband and I were married, several co-workers, all women, took the same college class he did. One person in particular was having a hard time and needed several after work study sessions. These tended to run long and somewhere along the way, I got it in my head that he might actually be dating this woman.
She was old enough to be our mother, as in, she had a son within a couple o years of our ages. There’s no way she would have cheated on her own husband. My husband wouldn’t have cheated on me. But the thought was there all the same.
We’ve been married some 21 years now and I only just told him about that. He was completely confused and, quite frankly, a little horrified by the idea, which is why I didn’t tell him back then!
Y’all’ll be fine. This will become one kind of silly part of your larger story. Congratulations to you both!
terencela: "Y'all'll".
sansvie95: My favorite contraction! Why say “y’all will” when you can use more apostrophes than any one word should have?
wombatbattalion: Even better: all o' y'all's'll
IronicINFJustices: All of you all should? ???
all of you all x will?
wombatbattalion: All o(f) y(ou)-all's (wi)ll
Edit: I figured I should use this in context.
"All of our children will struggle after we're gone, but you and your husband are rich. All o' y'all's'll be fine."
IronicINFJustices: M8—
wombatbattalion: Hey, don't blame me. Blame Texas.
sansvie95: Hey, at least this state is to blame for something a little fun this time…

1657489865 | 1657548661 | t3_vw22z4 | t5_2to41 | 50 | weewallywanga: TIFU by giving a girl a fake number
As far as fuck ups go, this has swiftly made its way close to the top dumbest things I've done.
It's a Saturday night in London and I'm at a bar, chugging a couple beers with my mates. I go up to the bar for another round. Whilst in the queue I make brief eye contact with a girl, she's cute but being your regular socially awkward dummy I quickly look away and focus on trying to get a drink.
A couple minutes later I'm finally to the front of the queue, picking up a rum and coke for myself and my mate. Someone taps me on my shoulder, I turn around, it's her. She smiles at me:
"Can I have your number?" she asks.
"Why?"
"Because I'm leaving soon but you're cute"
Now maybe it's because this is London and nobody's that friendly, maybe it's because I just got mugged two days ago and my heckles are still up, or maybe because I'm still that stupid fat boy on the inside. Anyway my first thought isn't "Oh there's this nice girl talking to me", it's "What manner of identity theft scam is this?"
I give her a fake number. That's fuck up one.
We get to talking a little and she's actually quite sweet and legitimate. At some point in my head, logic finally breaks through my monolithic wall of insecurity and tells me, "hey this might be a real thing, besides there's little someone can do with your phone number".
That's when I make fuckup two.
I'm honest.
I apologise and admit I gave her a fake number, ask if I can correct it. She was hurt, furious, hits back at me with sarcasm and storms off.
So here I am, on a Sunday night, savaging a pack of doritos chilli heatwave and wondering what could have been.
TLDR, nice girl tries to get my number at a bar, I assume it's identity theft and give her a fake one. Turns out she's legit, I fess up and try to give her my real number, she's hurt and leaves.
headyrooms: You probably saved yourself dude. Anything that comes too easy isn't worth it.
PhillyBirdGangg: Idk… I can get a chic-fila cookies and cream milkshake about a minute after ordering…
headyrooms: Yeah but you paid for it with money that you had to work for so they are basically still payment for your job.

okayy so i NEVER give out personal information on the internet because i'm not stupid... its kinda really not safe!
but in this case i wish i had dropped that rule
i met this GORGEOUS, freckled, ginger guy from somewhere near Leeds, england on omegle and near the start of our conversation he had asked for my snapchat and i lied (of course) and said i didn't have one ... well guess what ?
we talked for almost 2 hours about anything and everything and we were DEFINITELY flirting! i swear we could've talked hours more if my stupid computer hadn't froze and ended our conversation SMACK in the middle...
and my dumbass never tried to get a different form of contact because we were so deeeeeep in conversation & i assumed i'd get it near the end... well the end came abruptly and i fear i've lost him forever! my poor romantic heart cannot take the heartbreak!
as soon as my computer started working again i clicked through omegle hoping it would land on him again (its happened before) but my luck was out ...
josh from omegle, we could've been something :(
TL;DR i lied about having snapchat to a stranger that i ended up befriending; computer froze before exchange of contact
SmittyManJensen_: Josh probably would have harvested your kidney if you ever met, so there’s that.
GrimResistance: Worth it.

1657490386 | 1657727102 | t3_vw29n7 | t5_2to41 | 214 | theLegomadhatter: TIFU by going on a walk when my sister and her friend did
For context, I just moved to live with my sister and my dad and stepmom and since moving here I wanted to be different in a good way than what I was. Which meant starting to exercise, and going on walks and runs, now I went out for a walk about 10 because I was feeling restless. My sister and her friend had also went out to walk. I had a headlamp on and was going on a run blasting music in my ears so I couldn’t hear a thing around me. During the beginning of my walk I saw them from a distance I was focused on running so I didn’t stop to let them know it’s me. That was the first problem… because for the rest of my walk any time they saw me they thought I was following them. And they didn’t know it was me either. I was walking and holding my side because I’m not used to running like I said I just decided to because I wanna be better. Now In the dark with my headlamp I was just kinda walking in random directions/ routes I had a little bit of an idea about but not a big one. It turns out, to them it looked like I was following them, and they were terrified, to the point cops almost were called, they had no reason to think it was me because like I said I don’t usually walk or run. I just sorta decided too since I just mowed the lawn and I kept feeling like I had to keep going. Now my sister doesn’t wanna see me or even look at me right now. I don’t know if I can make anything better other than giving her time… the worst part is I had just started mending our relationship after we had a sibling spat that got to personal.
TLDR: went on a run my route was random, just so happened that a few of my loops were going the same direction as my sis and her friend and they were terrified with good reason honestly.
Update: things are mostly resolved I had some time to talk with her, she’s still adjusting to having me in her life, (we didn’t grow up together really.) and when she heard it was me she thought that I was told to go out and scare them. But the problem is handled
Naturekills: I deeply suspect you are lying🤷. Honesty is the first step to your healing friend.
-Cinnay-: Based on what?
Naturekills: Deductive and abductive reasoning based on the information at hand. I could write a book on the different cues and indicators I'm picking up on that make me suspicious(I've certainly read a few dozen on the subject). Could claim I'm Psychic or empathic as others like myself sometimes do. At the end of the day, it's a feeling. One that serves me incredibly well both personally and professionally. If I am right, which who knows it's text and without non-verbals and hearing a person's voice I'd give myself 50/50 odds on being correct. Then this young man is creating a false narrative in his head instead of facing his shadow. If that is the case 5, 10, 25 years from now maybe it will rear it's ugly head and both Op and others will pay the price of that indescretion. So if I'm right, hopefully knowing he is seen, understood and not hated will be of use to Op. If I'm wrong I just wasted a bit of my time🤷
-Cinnay-: I see, can't say I know much about that.
On a not completely unrelated note, just out of curiosity, do you know MBTI? I know it's random, but your answer made me curious about your personality type.
Naturekills: Meyers Briggs? Oh it's been years since I took that back in college. I don't remember my 4 letter designation. Lawyer personality type though. Psychometrics have improved since it's conception and outside of pop-psychology and a learning tool I do not believe it's used anymore, though it's many "offspring" certainly are.
-Cinnay-: I don't think my knowledge of that exceeds that of pop-psychology and I know how that may seem a bit ignorant to some people, depending on their profession. I mostly just asked because your comment reminded me of one of the cognitive functions and I wanted to know whether I was right or not.
SpoRedot: Which was suspected? INF\_?

Except I have really bad social anxiety and back when we just started dating I didn't greet her because she was busy doing something else and wasnt looking in my direction. I didn't wanna bother her and I thought she would be mad if I did. My bf was pretty mad about it and I keep thinking that his mom will remember this forever.
Invi5ibl3_0n3: I'm very nervous that his parents are going to remember it for a long time as well. My bf also told me on the phone today that I should refer to his parents as auntie and uncle when I greet them cuz I guess that's how it works in their culture, which I am also really nervous and awkward about going through with

1657490702 | 1657545172 | t3_vw2dxv | t5_2to41 | 3 | SaturnIsPrettyCool: TIFU by telling my dad that my friend is trans
This happened about 2 weeks ago but it still fits. I (14 f) have a friend who we will call RM (14) male who is trans (ftm) and we are good friends, we hang out often with our friend group and have fun.
Now lets explain how I messed up. We were hanging out for my birthday and we went to the movies all was fine and dandy until he asked if RM was trans and I said yes. He nodded and I naturally assumed that he understood that RM was a trans man due to his appearance, but I was so terribly wrong. Recently I was talking about RM because he has big feet (10.5 US shoes) and my dad said "Yeah that's the issue with trans women, they are always going to have men features like their feet." this is where I realized that I had made a grave mistake.
Now I have no idea what to do, RM is a gay man and has never had interest in women, but my dad wont understand that meaning that me, RM and our friend group wont be able to have sleepovers anymore, but if I dont tell my dad it feels morally wrong to let my dad mis-gender him.
TLDR: I told my dad my friend is trans, and never told him he was a trans man and now my dad thinks he is a trans woman
Update: friend told me to tell my dad! ill tell my dad when he gets off of work
my dad has never really been that understanding until recently as he got a new coworker and they are trans, they've been giving him new points of ideas and stuff like that.
Update: My dad knew but i guess he slipped his words idk how but I guess he did, we are all good and there will still be sleepovers! crisis averted
AllShallBeWell: Sorry, I disbelieve.
There exists literally no one who would have the mix of beliefs you're ascribing to your father. Anyone who's going to freak out at mixed sleepovers is going to care about biology first, orientation second, and maybe gender identity third.
Your story is essentially that your father is completely fine with his teenaged daughter having a sleepover with someone who's biologically male but is currently identifying as female (and whose orientation he apparently doesn't know), but would be aghast at the idea of his teenaged daughter having a sleepover with someone who is biologically female but currently identifying as a gay male.
That's not a thing that could happen, but honestly, it's kind of hilarious as a writing exercise, in the vast gap it reveals between how you view gender identity and the way you believe your parents' generation view it.
SaturnIsPrettyCool: Okay let me explain better as the time line for this wasnt clear, we had our first sleep over june 12th and in which my father was aware of RM there but didnt know he was trans, then on the 18th we went to the movies for my birthday and afterwards thats when my father asked if RM was trans i said yes as i thought it was obvious that RM was ftm, and yesterday we had another sleepover. when i got home, my father made the comment about the feet thing. I hope you understand better and i wrote this out of panic because im still scared that if i tell my father he wont let me and my friend group have sleepovers with RM anymore! sorry if there was any confusion or if there still is idk how to word thus where it makes more sense
AllShallBeWell: Look, has your father ever said that he wouldn't be okay with the sleepover if your friend was a transmale?
I could completely believe that a father wouldn't want his teenaged daughter to have a sleepover with someone who was biologically male, regardless of how they identified, but that's not what happened.
It is very unlikely that there exists any father who is completely okay with his teenaged daughter having a sleepover with someone he *thinks* is biologically male because of their expressed gender identity, but wouldn't allow his teenaged daughter to have a sleepover with someone who is biologically female because they currently express a male gender identity.
This is compounded by the fact that you say your father wouldn't care that your friend is gay.
This combination of beliefs (firmly believing guys and girls can't have sleepovers, not caring about the orientation of those people, but firmly believing that expressed gender identity is the only thing that determines whether they're 'guys' or 'girls') is not a thing that a person would have.
It's like you describing a vegan who is very strict about not using milk, but is also okay with eating steak. That would be a very odd and unlikely combination of beliefs to have.

So me and my girlfriend had just got in from the cinema and I was staying with her at her parents house for the night, she had went into the bathroom ro brush her teeth and then I went to the bathroom after she was done adn back in her room, I had noticed the bathroom had been cleaned and a few things had been moved around, I was looking for the toothpaste as it was usually next to the sink, and found a white, red and blue box to which I though was colgate, squeezed a small part of paste on to my brush and proceeded to brush, I realised that there wasn't a lot of mint, but continued, then I got a very strange taste and realised there this isn't normal, I checked the box and started to read the front which went as follows:
Reduces inflammation.
Relieves discomfort.
Shrinks piles.
Needless to say the tooth brush went straight in the bin and no tsunami of mouth wash has took away the shame or taste.
TL;DR
Brushed my teeth with hemorrhoid cream and still don't know who it belonged to.

1657494353 | 1657564373 | t3_vw3ndb | t5_2to41 | 652 | The_Hydra_Kweeen: TIFU by mentioning how my father didn’t let me have a sleepover with my cousins
A couple weeks ago I (14F) went to Dubai with my siblings (M17, F15, M9) and we were staying at my uncle’s on my fathers side. My aunt in my mothers side was also there and I was close with my cousin, her daughter. I asked my Father who was with us if I and my sister could go for a sleepover at there place cause we close with our cousin and he said no. I was a little sad but I figured he had his reasons so I let it go.
Now a couple weeks later we are back In the USA and I mentioned sleepovers and my mom was saying how stupid and American sleepovers were and the only sleepovers you should have is with cousins. Then I mentioned how my father didn’t let me have a sleepover. To my surprise my mom didn’t know this and this sparkled a big fight between them.
Now unbeknownst to me, her sister was not happy with her and my mom couldn’t figure out why. My mom realized it was because me and my siblings didn’t see her that much while in Dubai. Now we are on the road back from visiting some other family and we still got four hours ahead of us and my parents are really getting into it in arabic.
TL:DR: I mentioned how my dad didn’t let me have a sleepover at my aunts, and my mother didn’t know causing them to have a big fight while we still have four hours left on a drive.
SoundsMadness: This sounds like a "1st world" type of situation
Edit: I'll be muting this threat now. You children have fun amongst yourselves
Edit 2: damn there's a lot of emo angst in these replies. Apparently I struck a few teenage hormones.
Let me break it down since comprehension isn't any of yours' strong suits.
I said "This sounds like a "1st world" type of situation" as in their parents are arguing over stupid shit, while they have more than enough to be happy. You morons are interpreting it as me talking directly to OP saying what they're complaining about is a 1st world issue, but I was talking about the parents and I even specified in a reply that it was about the parents and they shouldn't even be worried about what their parents are bickering about.
Don't bother replying if you're just going to say something that makes you look even dumber.
The_Hydra_Kweeen: The fuck is that supposed to mean
SoundsMadness: It means that your family can travel across country to one of the most luxurious and wealthiest places in the world, but a petty comment about a sleepover causes infighting.
1st world problems
The_Hydra_Kweeen: I mean most of our family is either in Dubai and Sudan we visit them as much as we can but y’know it’s not easy to go to Dubai so that’s why seeing all of the family while we there is very important
SoundsMadness: The term "1st world" means that their argument is pointless, because while they have excess amounts of cash to be able to travel regularly across country(flying across the border to and from isn't cheap), they would rather be fighting about who slept over at who's house and argue about it when they seemingly have more than enough to keep them happy
I said it sounded like a 1st world issue, because there's more important things to be worried about. But you're also \*allegedly\* 14, so I wouldn't expect you to fully understand the weight of the terminology considering you haven't even been alive that long to know what life is really about other than just going where you're told to.
The_Hydra_Kweeen: Of course I’m very privileged and I’m incredibly grateful that my parents hard work (and quite a bit of luck) was fruitful that I get to have a good education in the states, but coming on to this post to, what, belittle my problems isn’t helping anyone.
SoundsMadness: Nobody belittled you lmao. Stop being dramatic.
I was trying to assure you that their argument doesn't have any meaning by saying it was a first world issue, so it shouldn't bother you; because you're apparently way too young to comprehend what people are trying to say, I might suggest maybe the issue in your original post is your own misunderstanding of the situation, like you're doing right now.
You might just need to do what every other kid does eventually: grow up.
kittywiggles: who pooped in your cheerios this morning geez
SoundsMadness: I sincerely deeply apologize for my actions, it was unprofessional and just downright spiteful. I honestly hope I'm allowed to come back onto reddit tomorrow with just how downright nasty I am. Unfathomably so, in fact. I didn't mean to insult or give anybody post traumatic stress disorder flashbacks because of how downright mean and disgusting I was. I deeply apologize for my absolutely despicable conduct, as I was not aware that we were in the presence of emotionally disabled children.
Oh right, it's fucking reddit.
Frog-In_a-Suit: You're being disrespectful. You could have phrased her parents' silly argument better. Nobody appreciates being looked down, neither children, nor adults.
You either need to get a better grasp on manners, or learn to stop being a dick.
SoundsMadness: Nobody was talking down, that's how they interpreted what I said and you're riding it harder than your mom on a Saturday night instead of actually reading what I was trying to say
Hey why don't you go back to talking about comic books, farting, kinks and political stuff anyways? Seems to be your forte
unclejarjarbinks: Wow, you're so fucking cool with your Naruto toys and shitty tattoo.
SoundsMadness: Coming from a star wars nerd lmfao

ProofMap8034: I would definitely advise against going in any public space in a robe with nothing underneath as wardrobe malfunctions happen to the best of us. The poor woman was probably expecting that you had at least *an* amount of clothing underneath the robe, as that's what most people do if they're wearing a robe in a public space. Lesson learned I suppose, but if you could reach out to her through the concierge with a card explaining that you did not intend for that to happen it might be worth a shot so she doesn't think you're a creep lol.
profmath88: Ok not a bad idea...what should i say? Literally never written a card in my life lol
ProofMap8034: It doesn't need to be anything much! I would go with something simple outlining that you are mortified by your wardrobe malfunction and that you had no intention of exposing yourself to her. A slight explanation that you had just been swimming and were on your way back to your room and just wanted to grab some food to take up when the mishap occurred. Conclude with a good sincere apology that she had to be a witness to it, and to make light of it, maybe add that you have learned your lesson and will never be trusting a robe as your sole attire ever again.
profmath88: I dont know...im a bit shy after the incident
ProofMap8034: Up to you whether to do it or not, but to me it's better than letting that woman go about her life thinking you're a perv who potentially did it on purpose if you can help it.

When I was 8 I overheard my mom telling her sister on the phone, I don't understand, I feed the girls the same things but X keeps gaining weight. Then she enrolled me in a hospital/physician managed weight loss program in 3rd grade. 4th grade she put me on weight watchers, 6th grade it was Jenny Craig. Being threatened with not being allowed to go on field trips because I wore the same outfits as the other 7th graders because on me it was inappropriate (DD).
But then I looked so "much better" according to all my immediate and extended family after dropping 50lbs in 9th grade, when I was on meth.
PeppermintPhatty: Not the turn I expected.
legal_bagel: Well, the good news is that 1. I was dx with ADHD and now 2. Have been off street meth for almost 34 years.
The bad news, they give me legal "meth" to manage my symptoms and my immediate and extended family still think being thin is more important than being smart or successful. Oh well, my family of choice is pretty rad.

On a serious note, I'm glad you've got a cool 'family of choice' around you :)

rogue_noob: Dude, if you don't do this, you are just pointing to EVERYONE that you are insecure. You have to do this. Those girls will be your best friends and wingman for the rest of college and there is no better wingman trust me.
Also, I'm 6'2" full beard, in my thirty and I will fucking film me dancing that in my ok if that's what gets you to man the fuck up.
But really, you promised those girls and you wanted to be friends, just do it and have fun. They will like it, the ppl at the talent show will like it (some will make fun of you, but that the same crew that makes fun of every single person ever while they don't do anything so they don't count) and you will love it. No doubt, you will have way more fun that you think you would have.
MustyScabPizza: This. OP can own it and be a College rockstar or bail and fly under the radar the next four years. The choice is his I'm sure they'll let him play up the comedy effect. He should start growing his beard out now and make sure to show some stomach and wear a pink wig. As long as he doesn't take himself seriously this can be a huge win.
rogue_noob: Got to nail the dance perfectly though.
MustyScabPizza: Exactly. If done well I'm imagining it similar to when an A cappella group gives the most feminine line to the bass.
This one gets me every time:

rogue_noob: A voice play video? That's a high bar. Also, tbf Geoff as a VERY impressive range.
MustyScabPizza: Oh I'm well aware. Best contemporary Bass out there. I wasn't really implying that OP could master subharmonic singing technique before the show. It would absolutely be hilarious and they'd get 1st place for sure if he could pull it off though. Judging by the deleted account, I don't think OP has the guts to do it at all.
rogue_noob: I wasn't thinking that OP would be singing at all, I was just refering to the fact that voice play are hella talented and Geoff stand out among them. And sadly I concur that OP is likely going to chicken out of it.
MustyScabPizza: Yeah, it wasn't clear if it was full performance or just a dance number. I thought he said they asked if he knew the song though. Oh well, this was just my first thought when I read it.
rogue_noob: I think they asked if he knew the song to make sure he wanted to actually do it and knew what he was getting himself into. He could have 100% showed up on the first practice day saying "well girls, you got me, I thought this was a different "rolling" but I said I'd do it so I'll do it"

I work in a small doctor's office and we have a group chat with the doctor, his wife, and every single employee.
We were sending pictures of what we did this weekend and I sent a group photo of myself with about 50 other women from a camping trip but I sent the wrong one. The photo I sent was the last one taken and I was just having fun and flashed. I had the appropriate group photo and the inappropriate group photo next to each other in my phone and accidentally sent the wrong one to the work chat.
I never participate in the work group chat but was told that I needed to get to know my coworkers more and participate a bit more.
We will see on Wednesday when the boss gets back into town what my punishment is going to be. Hopefully I don't get fired.
Before anyone asks, I'm not posting the photo here.
Update: I didn't get fired. I got a written warning with a bunch of other little infractions they never told me about piled on there.
TL:DR sent a topless photo to my work's group chat. I'll find out the repercussions on Wednesday when my boss gets back from vacation.
throwaway_yoormum: Omg did you send a follow up apology “wrong pic” text??
Sweet_Chains512: Absolutely! And then I sent the right pic so I can see how similar they are. I'll be begging for forgiveness for a while
Trick-Landscape5581: It's not like you did it on purpose. It was just an accident and you said as much. I hardly think it's fair to punish you for having a social life. I feel like everybody has that kind of fuck up every now and then anyway.
Sweet_Chains512: I got a written warning which is totally understandable. But not great part is that they decided to add all of these other infractions they had never told me about on to it but at least I still have a job.
Unevenscore42: Adding previous "infractions" makes me think this is a toxic workplace and probably best if you move on. Granted that's just from this one thing.
Sweet_Chains512: I do love my job but I don't think they handle feedback very well. It would have been easy to just tell me that my skirt is a little too short or they can see my bra strap rather than piling it onto this warning. Everything there is made a bit bigger deal than what it could have been. Very dramatic.
AngrySouthernHippie: Yeah that sounds like they knew the issues they had with you besides this instance were a bit less than justified, and just saw it as finally enough reason to spill all. I mean having a dress code in a professional setting isn't the worst thing, but this delivery of critique is definitely a bit suspicious.

Ok, so this happened a couple of days ago but only posting now after tonight’s events. So the other morning myself and my son (3) were sat in the living room when a big house spider comes running out from under the sofa. Now, I myself am terrified of spiders, grew up in the country side and have had many encounters with massive, horrible, creepy house spiders popping out at the most inconvenient of times and it’s just a fear I cannot shake. Anyway, since becoming a parent I am very aware that some fears are taught so have tried to be brave and when they appear I have taught him to catch them in a glass and put them outside. So back to that morning, I bravely grab a cup, we catch it, I go to grab some paper to slide underneath and in that time my son lifts the cup and sets it free…. And it off it runs back under the sofa! Brilliant (: so there’s no hope now, it escaped and can live there until it ventures again and we catch it. (Our sofa is heavy, I can’t move it alone and I’m not getting down the spiders level!). It’s one spider … I can deal with it…
Well fast forward to tonight, I’m chilling in bed reading some Reddit threads when I feel something crawl up my arm, instantly I freak, launch my phone, jump out of bed like fuckkkkkkkkkkk. I grab my phone and put on the torch and begin searching around the bed and covers to find an even bigger house spider chilling on the side of the bed. Fantastic, it’s like 2am and I have to get rid of this thing because I can’t even fathom sleeping with the thought of crawling over me or being near me tbh! So my only option was to try squish it(yes I feel bad but it’s me or the spider at this point). I grab my sons toy guitar as my choice of weapon and have one chance…. I swing and the fucker escaped under the bed. I’m freaking out now, what do I do?! I was brave and looked under the bed, moved some bits and it’s gone. No hope for me sleeping in my bed now. So I think it’s fine, il sleep on the sofa tonight … but then it hit me that there’s still another massive spider living under the sofa …
So wish me luck, I’m trying to brave the sofa as out of the two it’s the “smaller”spider il have to battle. Irrational fear I know, but I guess in teaching my son to not fear them then I must overcome my own problems. Parent life ftw
TL;DR taught son to catch spiders, he set one free, now trapped on where to sleep because giant spider under appeared on bed and sofa
Boogyman0202: I think you're the person who throws off the bell curve on that "YoU EaT SeVeN SpIdErS a YeAr" myth.
Legal-Astronomer7716: Well this thing was crawling up my arm and heading that direction….
I can’t say I believe it… but just don’t want to test the myth either 🤣
Boogyman0202: Loool yes that was the joke I was getting at😂 I'm not a spider fan either but I'd tear apart my house if I were you, I wouldn't be able to mentally survive after what you went through🥴
Legal-Astronomer7716: Yeah I don’t think I can sleep in my bed again tonight haha

TIFU by hitting on a minor. I didn't know of course!
So I've been going to the same drive-thru for the last 6 months or so. Cute girl in the window works about every day or at least everytime I go. Went by today and figured what the heck let me find out more about her. Go inside and ask her if she's talking somebody and if she's in college. She says yes she is seeing somebody and that she is not in college but a minor.😱 I said thank you😬 and walked away LOL AWKWARD. Fortunately no one else was around.
It's the mask I tell you!
Now before the judgement, know that I've actually been working on going out more and getting to know people. Needless to say this time was a flop but not going to let it stop me.
Either way making an appointment to have my eyes checked since it's been a while lol. 🤓
Making my confession to the reddit community to clear my conscience.
TL;DR: grown man accidentally hits on chick at fast food restaurant who was unknowingly a minor. Accidents happen, will be a funny story to tell someday but today it's for shame.
Smirkydarkdude: So... how minor? I mean if she turns 18 in a few months... could be worth heading back later. But ya... anything under that you are tempting fate.
elizaaaak: what a gross thing to say wtf 18 year olds are still too young. and waiting for her to turn 18 is disgusting. I couldn't even imagine dating a 20 year old, and I'm only 22.
BoatSignificant204: I’m dating a 20 year old at 18 lmfao it’s not weird
SoundsMadness: Huge difference. Also you're on the young side of the relationship, and still a teenager. Minors are not able to consent in a matter of law. You are no longer considered a minor.
Say you were 17, and they were 20 and you guys had sex, in some states that would be considered statutory rape.
You'll understand later in life about age differences and why it's a big deal.
Lewdzer: Ironic as later in life it doesn't matter as much
SoundsMadness: It most definitely should if you don't want a prison sentence
Lewdzer: Did you even read before you replied?
SoundsMadness: "Ironic as later in life it doesn't matter as much"
To me it sounds like you're saying "Age doesn't matter much later in life" to which I replied "It does if you don't want prison"
Now if you're saying a 3 year difference doesn't matter later in life sure, but to say that age doesn't make a difference?
Lewdzer: I definitely didn't say it doesn't make a difference, and yes that's pretty much what I mean.
Maturity-wise, even from 18 to 21 can be pretty different. 37 and 40, not so much.
Guess my point is that even though a small gap is noticeable early on, their maturity level will balance out in the long run.
People don't hold older couples to the same arbitrary standard. 🤷♂️
Smirkydarkdude: I know a lot of people who were pretty mature at 18 and others who are incredibly immature at age 35. Bottom line, 18 is a legal adult pretty much everywhere in North America. She (and OP) are free to do as they wish once they both reach that point. Prior to 18, it's hands off.
Lewdzer: Cheers to that

1657506398 | 1657511137 | t3_vw7kbk | t5_2to41 | 7 | Coffee31245: TIFU by recommending and going to a bar
Some friends (5 people including myself, I’m a male btw) come over yesterday and we were deciding whether to go out to grab food and grab a drink or just stay in. I recommended a Mexican bar/restaurant not to far away so we could go there. So we got in my car and off we went. The first 60% of our time there was good with some food and drinks at the bar. The place was mostly empty. Then 2 people sat next to me at the bar (I was at the end of the 5 of my friends lined up at the bar seats). After around 5 minutes they began tapping me on the shoulder asking if I wanted any of there chips and salsa and I answered no thank you. It was very hard to understand them since they spoke practically no English and only Spanish. But as I kept trying to return to conversation with friends they would tap on my shoulder again and again every 1-2 minutes asking if I liked tacos, again with the chips and salsa and more things alone those lines. As time went on I began feeling more and more uncomfortable and my friends and bartender could tell. All while the 2 people who really only spoke Spanish were obviously intoxicated and laughing (since they only spoke Spanish I couldn’t tell what they were laughing about though they kept looking at me.) Finally I had enough and simply got up and walked to the empty bar seat on the other side of my friends not saying a word to the 2 guys bothering me. The 2 guys proceeded to yell over the bar to me in Spanish and over my friends. Finally the bartender who also spoke Spanish went over to them. They had a few minute convo in Spanish and the 2 guys were suddenly yelling at the bartender pissed. We found out shortly that the bartender was kicking them out for everything they had done to me over the last 30 minutes. As we were getting our checks to get out as fast as we could they were also getting they checks and getting kicked out. All while the checks were being run up at the bar the 2 guys proceeded to cuss me out in Spanish. I’m assuming they since as yelling as me “fuck” and “whore” we’re incorporated in there language I couldn’t understand. One of the guys began pacing around the restaurant staring me down as well. Myself and friends were extremely uncomfortable and a bit afraid. Also the bartender came over and apologized to me. Right as we paid and we’re heading out the 2 guys jumped up and began following us. Suddenly my one friend said to stay in the hosting area until they left first but they proceeded to stop in the host area as well cussing at us (mainly me) and arguing with the hostess and bartender following us all. As the 2 guys were arguing with the staff we ran out to the car. As soon as we jumped in the car and I put it in drive we noticed they got in there car but didn’t go anywhere. So we left quickly back to my home and we made sure they weren’t following us. (They hadn’t left the parking lot as we got out of sight of the bar and I live in a rural area.) As we got home I was pretty shook on the whole situation so we just played some board games and the friends left. Never going let alone recommending that Mexican bar/restaurant again.
TL;DR Recommend a bar only to get harassed then cussed out and followed at the bar.
Edit: Myself and my friends speak English. We are in the mid-Atlantic parts of America.

1657506320 | 1657508454 | t3_vw7jhn | t5_2to41 | 51 | Rwggrim: TIFU By trusting that an old work buddy wouldn't scam me during a vulnerable time..
Just a brief aside on my current situation but I've been in the process of moving 600 miles (Actual move on July 31st) because my home town/state's cost of living has exceeded my (security officer) pay rate. Even with a roommate. I plan to stay with my company and have made plans with them already to get training and acquire my security license for my new state ASAP. Which I need before I can actually be offered a position. Which is a requirement for an apartment..so I'm facing a week in a hotel and the costs associated on top of new security deposits and whatnot.
I've also been working 7 days a week since May 15th to help generate moving cash. Not an excuse, just a factor.
Anyway..
Enter an old work friend about 5 weeks ago reaching out on Facebook Messenger after several years. Started with small talk, me telling him about the incoming move. And wouldn't you know it, he's been somewhat successful lately with bitcoin trading I can get in on. My first thought was "Oh his account has been hacked and it's a scam". Enter my own issue of playing with scammers by leading them on. 2 weeks ago I hit a hurdle with moving plans that put in a moment of depression and desperation.
Que the 'friend' messaging. Not wanting to deal with it, I called it a scam and that if it wasn't I was going to need a selfie taken of them holding a handwritten note with my name and the date. They hemmed about it, tried sending me a random video that could be taken from any other conversation and didn't connect direct identity proof to me. It was mostly a 10 second clip about his hair cut. I put in my demand again with a selfie of me holding a message to him with the date and said "Like this or I'm done" and got some annoyed responses. So I just stopped responding.
Last week I get the photo. It's definitely him and he's holding a random envelope with the message I wrote in my photo handwritten on it. I guess he took "Like this" as needing to copy my message exactly. But I was shocked honestly. This guy treated me well when we were at work. Would go on snack runs for me since Security cannot leave the property even on break. So I let him talk his pitch out. And it still SCREAMED scam at me. It's a website "tradecoin274fx", and the minimum investment is $300. I told him outright I really don't have it because of my situation and can't really afford to dip into my savings, and the site has spelling errors..
He goes back into his pitch of I can just do the bare minimum, it will pay a maximum of $5,700 after enough time and he could really use the referral money as well being a new trader with them. I got confused and said "You didn't give me a referral link, you just linked me to the main page." and he said it's his link with them. "So tradecoin274fx is YOUR site for a bigger group?" "Yes, it's my new trading company." Admittedly that explained the spelling errors to me because after seeing him on facebook for so long...well, spelling errors have happened. I thought about it, thought of the little things he used to do for me and really thought that not only would he not scam me, he wouldn't scam me during this time. Holy hell was I wrong.
But I pulled the trigger on $300 like an idiot thinking my friend couldn't possibly hurt me like that. After I did I thought "Well if it IS a scam he'll out himself now that he has the money" but he didn't, and stayed interested in talking me through it. I watched the little "daily earning" amount go to $5 in the first hour. Another $20 several hours later. Figured at least that's not a blatant expanse. When I went to work the next day he messaged about where I'm at as I got an email that "trading had closed". I check and the daily earnings amount was $7,204. My heart sank because I KNEW that couldn't be real. He had also clearly said I would top off under that. He said it must have been a lucky break, ignored my message about how it went over the maximum. But I went to "withraw" it (withdraw was misspelled on the site.) I get an email a few minutes later with the drop I knew in the deepest part of my soul was coming.
My account's tier is too low to hold that balance. I need to upgrade my investment/account. I sent it to him and asked for clarification. "Oh you're lucky! You did so well that your account needs to be upgraded." "Okay..cool, and I can pay that out of the daily earnings?" "No, you need to send in the amount it says to upgrade your wallet so you can withdraw your earnings." The amount? Just *over* what I told him I had saved. And that's when the true colors came out. He can't help me out at all and refuses to pay me the $300 back because "He doesn't pay for doubt". Beyond that, it's been messages from him of "Just pay it man. It's legit." "Stop playing, it's not a scam. You need to stop saying that! JUST PAY IT"
I have zero expectations but tomorrow I'm reporting him to my local PD's fraud department before I go to work. I took screenshots of the deceptive lines. Including him saying yes it's his site which..it isn't. I took a deeper dive and it's registered across the country, with a wall of legal-ese text about what they won't be held accountable for. So I'm hoping that outright lie alone has an effect on what I can do.
I've been told not to respond to him at all by people but I do wonder if I can show the screenshots and explain it's evidence of deception and fraud to see if I can scare him into giving me my $300..
TL;DR - TIFU by ignoring an obvious scam because I really put my trust in someone who used to be nice to me at work.
pasteldog: Hey it is me your good friend. If you send me another 300 to prove to me you are not doubting me i will upvote your post. Signed, me your friend
Rwggrim: That's a bit steep, what can I get for tree fitty?
pasteldog: Only me telling you to stop being a dumb ass
Rwggrim: Well I already know that because I've been saying it to myself non-stop. Imma have to turn your gracious offer down sadly.

I m18 have been texting this girl (F19) for about a month now we were cool we’d snap here and there just chilling then out of the blue asked me to send I’m like bet you’re pretty I’m horny let’s do this. “She” was talking all sweet telling me how much she liked it then the screenshot. The dreaded screenshot. Boom “she” had me by the balls. (Pun intended)
”she” asked for 500 dollars I said fuck you and blocked “her”.
She then added me as a dude telling me he was going to ruin my life. Lucky for me my insta only has school friends no family and I’m not the smallest ever so maybe I’ll make a “friend or two” I’m graduated so I never have to see them again if it goes poorly 🤣
TL:DR random person screenshot my dick then threatened to send it to everyone I know if I didn’t send them money.
Dootbooter: Hahaha good for you dude. Dicks out for harambe.
Feel_a_little_burn: Meh could be worse ig til never send to someone you don’t know
Dootbooter: Yeah exactly. Like it's just your dick. If anything i feel bad for the scammer. Imagine how many weiners he's had to look at?

1657509089 | 1657511301 | t3_vw8f9w | t5_2to41 | 18 | yellowsubmarinesucks: TIFU by drinking too much
Little warning, Gets kinda gross. Apologies
I had a great night yesterday, I’m 21F and this is the first time I’ve really experienced drinking. I liked it more than I anticipated! Everything felt so wobbly and fun. I heckled my favourite tv show, played video games with my friends, pet my beloved cat, and so on. I didn’t want the intoxicated feeling to end, so I kept making more drinks! I felt fine, great even, so no cause for alarm.
Or so I thought.
I didn’t know it at the time, but I shouldn’t drink 15 or so oz of rum. The moment I woke up I felt awful. Projectile vomited all over my couch and myself. I couldn’t eat, so I just puked up water, half a banana and bile. So much bile. From 9am to 6pm I was just laying in bed, puke bucket at the ready, head pounding and shivering like the coldest little chihuahua.
I always thought hangovers wouldn’t be so bad. I knew I might have a headache, but my god, I didn’t expect this. I put this experience up, in terms of awfulness, alongside abusing laxatives (pain was so bad I thought I was going to Die) and other shit I don’t wanna remember.
But hey, it’s a learning experience. Never drinking that much again thats for fucking sure. Managed to convince my dad that it was a gnarly case of food poisoning to save himself from being too concerned. He’s the one who gifted me the rum after all.
TLDR: I drank too much and had a hellish hangover. I didn’t know this shit was That Bad. Don’t be like me, drink responsibly Lol
Creinium13: “Never drinking tgat much again”
😂
Said by literally every person who’s had a shitty hangover.
You’ll be back much sooner than you think.
PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT: Hey, Creinium13, let's hope they learned their lesson and they don't go back to that. You fucking waffle.
Creinium13: 🍻 🤮 🍻 😃 🎉

1657510277 | 1657512011 | t3_vw8s5r | t5_2to41 | 111 | glonkme: TIFU- by getting electrical burns from using an adult toy
I like being adventurous by trying new things. I accidentally stuck my fingers in a lamp that was plugged in and didn’t have a lightbulb awhile ago. I stuck my fingers where the lightbulb should have been and accidentally shocked myself. It felt good, so I decided to buy an E-stim vibrator.
The vibrator has two settings, vibrate and the shocking. It looks like your average vibrator, but has two metal rings on the end “ball” part, where the electricity comes out of. I was not a fan of the shocking so I only use the vibrator setting. Sometimes it “shocks” me when I only use the vibration setting. It’s sometimes annoying but only slightly burns/bothers me. By “burns” I mean kind of a “spicy” feeling, not in an electric pen type of way.
Today Laid on my side while watching porn and had my legs crossed with the vibrator in between my thighs. I orgasmed three times and it was amazing. It would have been more if the shocking didn’t get in the way. When I was done my inner thigh itched so bad. I look down at it after my shower and I burnt a hole in my skin where the metal ring was. It’s not that bad but bad enough. This is my first sexual injury. It looks suspicious enough to make me want to show a doctor but obviously you can see why I’m hesitant… I think I got a bit of my vag too.
TL;DR : I tried to use an E-stim toy as a regular vibrator on just the vibration setting, and it burnt a hole through my thigh.
This_Space_For_Rnt: I was today years old when I learned the make shock sex toys.🤣🤣
GrimResistance: And I've been using jumper cables and a car battery all this time like a sucker!
This_Space_For_Rnt: 🤣🤣🤣

[deleted]
Storms_and_Rainbows: Why did friend 2 feel comfortable to walk into someone’s house without knocking first? That was rude. It’s so many things to address here. Something as small as this (yes you were wrong for not telling your parents about friend 2) made your dad THAT furious that he needed to leave the house?! But apologize and let it go. If your parents are going to continue to make a huge deal out of this situation, you may want to move out and get some roommates.
ScaryFriedGluten: Friend 2 has a learning disability and we also didn’t explicitly tell him to wait outside, so I kind of just chalked it up to that.
MrUnitedKingdom: What did you expect him to do? Just stand there why you and you friend shower and get changed etc? Shitty friends do that, invite him in, and let him chill!
ScaryFriedGluten: Thus part of the fuck up. Which I am more than willing to own up to.

1657516224 | 1657613635 | t3_vwahye | t5_2to41 | 113 | miss-banana-bea: TIFU by eating a gummy bear.
This happened on Friday. So I had a long day at work and decided to make a stop at my local smoke shop on the way home. Guy working there recommends a combo CBD/THC gummy bear bag. I thought, okay, this is cool. I’ve taken CBD gummies before. So I pick the most seemingly appealing flavor, pay, and go home. I greet my cat and rip that bag open, pop a gummy in and eat it. Didn’t feel anything for about an hour. And then, it hits me. I get wildly nauseous and start to panic. My heart was pounding. The room was spinning. I somehow ended up in my bathroom and sit on the floor by the toilet and tub in case I needed to vomit. I didn’t, but ended up falling asleep there for a while. I then read the directions on the bag, only to find out it says the serving size is half of a gummy. Not the whole one. To be fair, the size of them were small but allegedly 50mg per bear. I slept for 13 hours that night and felt like pure garbage the next day. Never again will I not read the directions. Why did I not read the directions? I really don’t know. I just assumed the serving was 1 gummy, but that was very very wrong.
TL;DR accidentally took more than a serving size of an edible gummy and felt like crap for 2 days
xoes: Who eats half a gummy bear?! Why would you make a serving half a gummy bear?!
Medicalhuman: Fr. Like half a gummy bear??? Might as well make tiny gummy bears instead
xoes: Right? I would have a very hard time not eating half the bag… Especially after the first half gummy kicks in…
And where do you store the other half gummy you bit off, with the sticky end melting intricately into anywhere you put it? This is wrong on so many levels…
Edit: typo
Medicalhuman: Guess you gotta use a pill cutter or something
ExtensionSystem3188: Freeze it.crush it. Sniff it. Bang-a-rang!

1657516223 | 1657566024 | t3_vwahxl | t5_2to41 | 8 | TheScrumptious: tifu might've broke my toilet
Edit: so it wasn't my doing fortunately. It is something with the general toilet (I failed to mention this toilet is pretty fucking old.) and pipe, I guess this flush was just the breaking point of a long-term neglected issue. But the lesson learned here is to actually eat and have my body be healthy so I don't panic thinking I took a shit to break a toilet, AND to monitor our toilets, and make sure they function properly so issues like this don't happen again.
My throwaway's throwaway lmao
So basically. We have three bathrooms in our house, a first floor and a second floor bathroom. The one in the hallway, has been kinda weak on flushes. At times it won't flush properly due to the pressure or something but I found a way around it to always flush, the more you flush it the more stronger it gets. (I know weird) so I usually flush 2-3 times, each flush for specific things so it goes down smoothly.
So anyway, I get back from a long ass shift from my lame job.
I guess you can say I have a unhealthy relationship with food (eating once a day, not binging a huge meal, just a regular meal) So my bowels aren't very awesome right now. I am working on it. Anyway, for the last 2 days I have been a bit constipated. It was so busy today I hadn't been able to go to the bathroom for 9+ hours. At the end of my shift my stomach was grumbling from hunger. I go home and consume some yummy pasta. I go up to bed on the second floor, I am chilling and then my stomach starts gurgling and hurting. I gotta shit so bad. I was on the brink of shitting my pants. I run to the bathroom in the hall, I do my business, it felt like 80 pounds was freed from my body. I don't think I will experience anything this godly again.
Anyway I start the first flush, but it isn't strong enough. I shrug and try again, this time the toilet backs up. Shit. I sit up and see the water rising. I panic and grab a plunger, when the water settles I assumed it was clogged, so I start plunging, and plunging, and plunging. I was plunging for an hour, it still wouldn't flush. So I wait it out in the bathroom. A half an hour passes and the water is almost all the way gone in the bowl, I go to flush it and it backs up again all the way. I am currently waiting it out again with a sign on the toilet that says not to use it.
The toilet doesn't look clogged anymore.. But like it still won't flush. What the fuck do I do??? I knew this thing would break eventually but I didn't think this soon.
I should've gone to the superior first floor toilet instead but this was an emergency. Fuuuuck.
TLDR; took a ungodly shit and mightve broke my toilet.
thehatguy1: Sounds like the tank water is too low, just google how to set a float in a toilet and see if that helps lmao
TheScrumptious: Thank you for your recommendation you beautiful bastard
thehatguy1: Lmao let me know how it goes
TheScrumptious: So.. It's a bigger problem, luckily it wasn't my doing (thank god) it's a in-general toilet/pipe issue. We have a plumber on the way to work and fix it.

1657518425 | 1657555809 | t3_vwb38x | t5_2to41 | 249 | PotatoSoupFromACan: TIFU by assuming my boyfriend was in the bathroom
Welp. This just occurred less than an hour ago. I'm spending the night with my boyfriend at his grandparents place. He left the room to go grab some ice for drinks, so I got up to light a candle since we were both ripping stank ass Taco Bell farts. As I did so, I realized I had to pee, so I rush across the house to the one bathroom.
I didn't see bf in the kitchen on the way, and the bathroom door is cracked, so I assumed he was in there. I heard the tub water running, but I didn't think anything of it, figuring that he was about to grab a quick shower or something.
It's worth noting that his grandma's room is right next to the bathroom. She usually sleeps with the door open and a TV playing, and since these conditions were both true, I had no reason to believe it was anyone but bf in the bathroom.
I opened the door, expecting to find boyfriend hunched over washing his hair or running the water to hide the sounds of his stream. Instead, I was greeted with his grandma sitting naked in the tub having her evening bath. Immediately said "oh shit, sorry!", shielded my eyes and ducked out, closing the door behind me.
Heard bf off to my right say "Please tell me you did not." I didn't answer him because I was beating a hasty retreat back to his bedroom to die of embarrassment. I could have lived my full, complete life without seeing his grandma's boobs.
We found out later that she had the door open because the cat wanted in and she forgot to close it after the cat had left. I will be busy scrolling through r/eyebleach for *a while*.
TLDR: assumed boyfriend was in the bathroom, saw his naked grandma's boobs.
Lux_Brumalis: Just think of it as a preview of your boobs fifty years or so down the road. 🤷🏻♀️
RevolutionaryHat8988: First thing I thought of too. You just made me laugh so loudly because it is so true.

1657519859 | 1657663821 | t3_vwbgvn | t5_2to41 | 14 | TardisBrakesLeftOn: TIFU By Trusting The Kindness Of A Stranger
Alrighty, so today it was me. This took place over the course of a couple of weeks, though, and the
negative result just started up so I'm here to vent.
A couple weeks ago, I received a PM from a fellow Redditor. This person was offering up someone to talk to if I needed it and showed vulnerability by sharing some of their own struggles. They had seen a few comments that I made on another subreddit in defense of others and it brought them to make this offer. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of taking people at their word.
At first we were just a couple of strangers that were anonymously sharing struggles. Then the person offered me their phone number in case I needed a quick answer. Maybe that should have been my first red flag. Maybe it should have been the second one.
There was about a week in between receiving the number and actually using it. They had requested that we continue the conversation over the phone and I had sent a message letting them know I would need some time first because I was mentally tapped from work. They confirmed that it wasn't a problem and were very understanding.
When I did text them, they requested to speak with voice and we did. We talked about a lot of the same things that we had been talking about before - old hurts and pains and how they still effect us. We also discussed good shows to watch, some current stuff going on in our lives, and they spent a lot of the conversation making it clear that they wanted to support me as a person because they had seen me supporting other people.
The next day, we sent each other a couple of memes and that was all the communication we had.
The day after, today, I received a text requesting to call. Half an hour later, I saw it and responded. They said it was no problem that I had not replied right away and there were a couple more texts; I didn't see what they sent while I was getting some other things done and they sent a follow up text an hour later.
This one was completely different. The language was hostile, aggressive, and completely unexpected. They began the text by suddenly saying that they 'did not have the patience for this' and that 'intentionally ignoring texts is gross'. They accused me of playing games and flirting with them (and refused to explain what they felt was flirtatious), then began pulling out things that I had told them in a finalizing set of suggestions. They said they weren't being passive aggressive, but it absolutely felt like little digs disguised as concern.
Now they've gone from saying goodbye to saying that they want to talk about things and I just don't feel like dealing with this at two in the morning. Guess this is the result of trusting people you don't know.
TL;DR: someone messaged me and offered to be a supportive person for my struggles, then turned some of that against me after accusing me of flirting amd playing games. We've only talked a few days and now they are exhibiting controlling, manipulative behavior. Just my luck.
Last-Neighborhood-71: How many people are you talking about? I am confused
TardisBrakesLeftOn: Just one person; I'm trying to be as non-identifying as possible by using neutral pronouns.
Last-Neighborhood-71: As I am speaking English as my second language I apologies for my bad spelling and understanding of grammatical forms. But for me it seems "it" would be neutral and they/them is plural. If this can be used for the singular tense, I am out, this is way too confusing and I don't believe I will ever be able to speak this language properly enough to follow a normal conversation.
TardisBrakesLeftOn: You are absolutely correct and you're really doing a great job with the language. Keep working on it!
While they or them is plural, those pronouns are also used for non-binary or gender neutral individuals.
Last-Neighborhood-71: I had to read this short post 3 to 4 times... This just seems to make things extra complicated. I mean, it's great if native speakers understand this perfectly, but I, as a foreigner, feel excluded.
TardisBrakesLeftOn: While I understand that you feel that way, I am unable to adjust the rules of proper use and grammar in the changing English language that adapts to be accepting of other identities.

1657520016 | 1657525819 | t3_vwbibn | t5_2to41 | 53 | Sea-Ad9683: TIFU by being a stupid horny teen
TIFU by being a dumb horny teen
I’m 15 and it was late at night. Some girl snapped me and I opened it and it was her offering stuff and asked if I was horny. She said she’d send back and she was the same age. I know i’m fucking stupid so don’t say that in the comments. Anyways I send a dp and crop my face out. She says ‘That’s not you’ and I said ‘it is, I cropped my face out cuz i looked weird’ and I quickly sent the pic with my face in it. Keep in mind, her account is most likely a burner account because she has like 1000 snapscore. anyways, as soon as i sent the pic with my face in it, she saved it and i got pissed. i kept asking her why she saved it and I have pretty bad anxiety and ADHD. (i told her this but she didn’t care) and i stayed up till like 4 worrying about it she said if i sent a nut video while moaning then she would screen record her deleting the photo of me. then I was considering it because i needed that photo gone but she said she would screen record the video and then delete it. which sounded very suspicious. so I told her not to and to say Mums that she won’t do it. she said ‘nvm i’ll just keep the photo then’ and then I think she blocked me because there was an X next to her name. I stayed up for hours swearing at myself because of how stupid i was to send that to someone who just texted me. This morning I checked and there was no X next to her name and it said opened 2 hours ago. i called her but she didn’t respond. i did notice that her snapscore went up since this morning and now. i’m freaking out because i can’t let that picture get out. tl;dr
wobluemoon: Lol call the cops, your a minor and your Pic is child pornography. She can't legally possess it, regardless of age. Now sharing it is another charge.
Sea-Ad9683: i don’t know where she lives so the cops will just hang up
wobluemoon: If you report her profile to snap chat. They call the police if they find its needed. It's not a kiddie fiddler app, anymore.
Sea-Ad9683: i did report it ages ago and nothing happened. well maybe it did
wobluemoon: The legal system works slow, always has. You might not know for years.

1657520826 | 1657521556 | t3_vwbpnh | t5_2to41 | 21 | UrameshiYuusuke: TIFU by bringing a plush to school
This happened a month ago, also this one isn’t as bad as some of the other stories on here
So I had seen Turning Red with my family, and I really enjoyed it, so I bought a plush of Red Panda Mei off Ebay to remind myself of the movie, and it arrived one early Monday morning. I opened the package in my room, put the toy on my shelf and walked to school, or so I thought I put it back on my shelf
I entered the doors and a lot of kids and even some teachers were pointing and giggling at me, and I was confused, that was until I was halfway up the stairs, and I noticed that I was still carrying the damn doll around. I couldn’t do anything about it since my parents were at work, and I don’t want to skip class just to take a stupid toy home. Plus, you can’t go home for lunch at my high school. Also as a bonus, my bag was extremely full, so it couldn’t fit in there since the toy was rather large, so I had to carry it around the whole day. Another bonus is that the plush talked, and during the middle of my 2nd period science class, I accidentaly squeezed it and it made a noise, and the whole room bursted with laughter, even the teachers laughed. Even worse is that i’m a dude.
Also I was still laughed at on my walk home, not only from kids but also some parents!
Boy was I laughed at that day. Never brought it to school again.
At least it made for a somewhat interesting day to my boring little high school
TLDR: teenage dude forgets to put toy made for little girls back on shelf, accidentaly brings it to school. got teased and laughed at. Turned red with embarassment
Aggravating-Pear9760: Kids laugh at the dumbest things. Don't worry about it.
I'm 32 and I frequently use a purse shaped like a pink sparkly cupcake with adventure time key rings on it...I have yet to have someone laugh. If anything I've had more compliments about it than any "normal" purse I've used.
UrameshiYuusuke: I think the kids found it funny that a teenage dude was carrying a plush toy made for little girls around.

[deleted]
Skellyhell2: You should have bought terraria, i can promise you its better than whatever else you spent the money on, and having a best friends to play through it with makes that experience even better.
I would suggest buying it as soon as, letting your friend know (I assume you have more than 1 way of contacting your best friend) then having a blast as you play through the highest rated game on steam.
ohsoswaqqy: I was planning on buying it considering I have played it before and had a blast. Just forgot about it in the moment lol
Skellyhell2: Sad I got down voted by the 5 people in the world who dislike terraria!
I would love to be able to play it again for the first time, or share in a friends first playthrough.

StephUhKneeDee: Spiders won’t cross peppermint. It can kill them. If you have peppermint essential oil, put some in an atomizer and go nuts in and around your bathroom.
Also consider lining your windows and entryways with the oil every few weeks.
Bonus: it smells nice.
perrytheply: Where can I buy in bulk?
StephUhKneeDee: Probably Amazon. You might be able to find some at a vitamin or herbal shop, but as most essential oils tend to be a bit pricey, online is probably the way to go.

1657521594 | 1657529462 | t3_vwbwkn | t5_2to41 | 246 | Nowhere_Games: TIFU by eating a species of nightshade at a Japanese festival the day before I had to fly overseas.
Technically this happened yesterday and my flight is today. Long story short I was at a Japanese festival with my wife where everyone buys these really cool plants that look like lanterns. They kind of look like fat dessicated red peppers on a green vine and are so cool looking I initially thought rhey were fake.
Anyways, my wife pointed out that she had heard you can eat them and it is said to cure any ailment, then she asked if I wanted to try one. I did a very cursory Google search that said something like "the fruit has more vitamin c then a lemon".
Fine, great, we got one and I bit into, and it tasted like death. She looked at my face and laughed and asked if it tasted medicinal, and I said, no it tastes poisonous. We then looked inside and saw there was a tiny little Berry, so what I thought was the fruit, was just the leaves. My mouth started to become slightly numb and so I did a bit of a better search on my phone (thanks to how terrible Google's SEO has been functioning).
Well, turns out it is a species of nightshade and all parts are viewed as poisonous. One of its other names is 'Devil's Berry'.. not the most reassuring name. The Berry is edible when ripe, but the leaves and every other part are always poisonous.
I confirmed that I ate enough where I would probably just get a bit sick but most likely would not die. Though dying at a Japanese Festival isn't a terrible way to go. Other symptoms I could potentially look forward to were diarrhea, nausea, hallucinations, and paralysis. But again it looked like my single bite was far below the LD50 for mice.
The numbness and dryness in my mouth went away after about an hour and I thought I was golden. I woke up this morning, had a light breakfast... and immediately got excruciating stomach cramps. I thought it was just that egg can be a bit heavy.
I packed for my flight, had a big lunch, because i knew i wouldnt get great food during my 20 h of traveling. .. and immediately got terrible stomach cramps again. It then dawned on my that maybe the Devil's Berry was having the last laugh. It was so bad I might miss my flight because it took an hour to shake. I'll update if I make my flight, or not.
Moral of the story is don't eat nightshade leaves.
TLDR. Ate some toxic leaves, that I thought was fruit. And got such bad stomach cramps
EDIT: the airport was empty and I made my flight!
golem501: If you're not feeling great, eating doesn't help. I remember having the runs when I was supposed to fly from India... I just didn't eat all day to make sure I was empty. I felt so crap at the end of the day but I made my connecting flight and then could eat again!
beefknuckle: there is medication you can take to help with this so you don't miss your flight. i don't go to india without it lol
golem501: I have those, I prefer not to take them as you then don't get rid of the bug. Sometimes I need them to reset though.
beefknuckle: i hate them too as it keeps everything inside, but it's usually better than missing a flight

1657525690 | 1657557708 | t3_vwcvzn | t5_2to41 | 21,953 | NookEmDookEm: TIFU by sending a picture of my cat
I've always had cats in my life so when I moved into a new apartment and had more disposable income, I went out and adopted a cat.
I took so many pictures of him, and wanted to send a picture of this cute cat I had gotten so I carefully picked one that I thought showed his lazy personality.
I sent it to my boss, my family, my friends. I was so proud of my cat that anyone that I could remotely make an excuse to send a picture to, I did. I got the generic response back like "oh did you get a cat, looks cute" and I thought nothing of it. Just sharing a cute pic of a cat.
Three weeks later, I went to get coffee with my friend and at a break in the conversation, she pulled up the picture that I had sent her and asked if I see anything that shouldn't be in the picture. I said no? and she pointed behind his head and was like, what about this?
There was a dildo behind his head.
The worst thing is that it wasn't even a dildo that was being used. I had gotten sent the wrong size and just had left it and forgotten all about it but I couldn't even say that without sounding like it was just an excuse.
I hate myself.
This is the picture: [cat pic](https://imgur.com/a/kQtPznX)
TLDR: Sent a picture of my cat and didn't see the huge dildo behind his head.
Hillary0631: It’s fine lady, just own the dildo.
Soldado63: Yeah it would be better to own the dildo. You dont want to get charged for stealing a dildo
fedupwiththemoaning: You wouldn't download a dildo.
Paul_der_LOL: Have you heard of 3D printing?
Your_One_Lord: DO NOT 3D PRINT SEX TOYS.
even if you used a body safe plastic, 3d prints are porous, and consequently are near impossible to fully clean. you do not want to stick a mouldy hunk of plastic near your junk.
Roudan: Today I learnt there's an expired patent for a disposable dildo made out of paper. German engineering at its finest. Anyway, point is... Disposable 3D printed dildos sounds like way to the future and less papercutty too.
phunkydroid: >Disposable 3D printed dildos sounds like
a lot of extra plastic in landfills.
Meat-Mattress: Luckily PLA plastic (most commonly used in 3D printers) breaks down very quickly compared to most plastics
albertcn: Yup, helping the noble cause of micro plastic on their way of being present in everything and everyone alive.
Meat-Mattress: Fuck micro plastic, I agree with you there. I’m just saying that PLA is one of the most biodegradable and eco-friendly forms of plastic. It’s made of corn and water and decomposes into CO2 and water. Still, best not to use plastic at all, but we will.
redline314: Seems as though this is no more than solid eco-marketing:
>To biodegrade, PLA requires a laundry list of conditions to effectively break down. Specifically - oxygen, a temperature of 140+ degrees, and a 2/3 cocktail of organic substrate. Collectively, these are absent in any scenario outside of industrial composting facilities. This means that PLA plastic will sit in that landfill right alongside ABS and other plastics for a very long time.
Meat-Mattress: These are the conditions it must have to decompose *quickly* (anywhere from a few days to 2 months) but it will also decompose if tossed into the ocean in about 80 years. While you absolutely should not toss any plastic into the ocean, PLA plastic still decomposes much faster than most other plastics, and it does not decompose into toxic chemicals, unlike most other plastics. Oddly enough, throwing PLA away into regular garbage to sit in a landfill will actually take just as long as other plastics. I keep a box where I put failed or broken prints, and take those to recycling.
redline314: It said these are the conditions for 12 weeks. 80 years def seems like the sweet spot for me to consume it.
Anyway, I don’t really care if you make your dildos with a 3D printer if that’s what you want to do. I just don’t think plastic is this great solution to plastic waste.
ContamBrah: Haha I totally get it, I’m not a plastic lover or anything, it’s just that unfortunately it’s use isn’t going to slow down, and we’re most definitely fucked. I was just making a case for PLA plastic in that it’s not the *worst* thing out there.
redline314: Maybe we can agree that cucumbers are the solution then
ContamBrah: Cucumbers are the solution to all plastic waste, agreed 100% haha
redline314: One problem at a time my friend… starting with dildos

1657535565 | 1657549610 | t3_vwf7ar | t5_2to41 | 10 | Necessary_Ad_6748: TIFU by cutting my hair.
I'm using a throwaway for this account, because I'm so ashamed and in so much pain I want to never leave my house again. Or even think about anything. I want to become a mindless mass of flesh on the floor. Maybe that's dramatic. I no longer care, although I do hope this post isn't too vulgar.
Backstory: I am pretty hairy, which is not uncommon. I've a pretty hairy pubic region to go with it, because why wouldn't I? Less commonly, it is so coarse and brittle it hurts. It causes chafing, and it can be a little uncomfortable to deal with during intercourse, and I think I shed as much hair from down south as I do from my actual skull. Not to mention that most don't find excessive hair attractive, unless I've been lied to my entire life. So after a long time of suffering, I finally had the brilliant idea to trim it down- not a full shave, mind you. Just a trim. I can't shave or wax, and I can't get laser hair removal.
I went at it. Took a pair of hair scissors (cleaned before and after, I'm not a degenerate) and trimmed it down, less than one cm, in the direction that the hair grows. At first it was a little uncomfortable, a bit itchy. "No problem, it's just an adjustment." I said to myself.
I've never been more wrong in my life.
It quickly grew unbearable. It feels like thousands and thousands of tiny, tiny, tiny needles are stabbing out of my pubic region and into my thighs. The chafing is so awful my thighs have been rubbed raw. They were bleeding earlier. I've wet the hair, I've applied conditioner over five times (and not a small amount), I've sat in the bathtub in warm water just hoping for a little bit of relief. I cannot close my legs. Now, I am sitting in my room with no pants as I try not to cry, because I am a very strong man, and my cat is giving me quite judgemental looks, because I'm not doing a very good job.
TL;DR: Gave my pubic hair a small trim (<1cm) so it wouldn't chafe. It is now chafing to the point of bleeding and immense pain. Conditioner has not helped. I can only suffer.
AleGolem: I have no idea what you did that would cause this much discomfort but I use a Brio trimmer for hair, beard and manscaping and have never had any issues. I'd also suggest Nair but you don't seem like you're ready for chemicals.
Fit_Ad_7681: I've actually considered going at my undercarriage with nair a few times. I'm not too worried about burns as I'm capable of reading and following directions, but I'm curious about the results. How long does it usually last and will it lead to discomfort (similar to shaving) when it grows back? The discomfort in certain, sensitive locations is my concern.
AleGolem: Hair will grow back in about 2 weeks. Discomfort is slightly less than shaving. It's not guaranteed to work the same on everyone though so your results may differ.

What I'm curious about is why did someone post their license on social media.

So I have a terrible wind problem. Scratch that, I’m the worst.
I was in a department store buying a new pair of jeans. I’d just finished a regular frappe and realised they added triple shots, instead of singular. Plus I’d had breakfast not that long prior.
While I’m sorting through the jeans, my tummy is gargling and I need to go. But before I can, I fart silently and just to be an immature five year old, I wave it around to see if anyone could smell my brand. There was no one, until…a woman and her son walk around the corner.
Then I hear…
“Oh, Henry, not at the shops”, said the mother.
“But Mum, I didn’t do anything”, said the boy.
“Right, no screen time when we get home”.
The little boy then starts crying. I went to say something but before I could, they were gone.
TL;DR - while I was buying a pair of jeans, I did a silent fart, blew it in the opposite direction, and a kid I didn’t know, unknowingly took the wrap, and his mum told him off.
___Phreak___: You're an idiot, his mum is a bitch. Everybody farts.

1657539626 | 1657572809 | t3_vwgbgy | t5_2to41 | 21 | Cast_Porpoise: TIFU by deleting a website
Basically the principal of a local school in my area is new and was having trouble getting the school's website to work, as the previous principal had created a mess of a website and not provided any documentation to support it. She had tried to get help from a couple of IT managers from businesses around the area, but to no avail. My mother (who knows the principal) works for an organisation that supports the school and since I'm currently an IT intern she says that I can help.
First problem, idk what the fuck I'm doing when it comes to WordPress. Second problem, if IT managers can't work this shit out, how am I?
Principal suggests that it would be a good idea to reset the site and start from scratch. I'm inclined to agree but still think it best to create a clone that I can edit and then go from there.
I try to create a new website (on Bluehost) and I cannot figure out how to do this. Seriously, I had no idea what I was doing. I use a reset plugin for WordPress and save a backup of the site, then create a clone. Idk how I created it because when I deleted the clone (for another reason) I deleted the main site too. Custom domain emails, a 40GB online media library, everything. Just gone.
Now I'm in the middle of building a new website. I'm trying to document the whole process so that the next poor schmuck who has to maintain this site is actually able to.
TLDR: I deleted a school's website while messing around with setting up a clone and now need to create a new website.
Narrow-Big7087: Don’t feel so bad. Someone in Canada hit the upgrade button at Rogers and shut the whole country down for a day. No internet, phone, debit/credit cards, nothing.
You’ll be okay.
Cast_Porpoise: Thanks. The principal was pretty chill about it too. I don't think that the previous principal was particularly liked, and he was completely ghosting the school when they tried to contact him.
Getting rid of the site may have been a good thing. At least I've got something to add to my fairly limited resume!

1657544266 | 1657571296 | t3_vwhtfp | t5_2to41 | 8,418 | cyphunik: TIFU by helping my friend's dog with her "scooting"
I was at my friend's house the other day and they'd mentioned that their pug had been "scooting" occasionally. I witnessed it on one occasion and the dog seemed a bit uncomfortable.
I've never really been around dogs, but I knew enough to know that it was likely an anal gland issue, just from hearing other dog owners mention it. I asked why they didn't take it to the vet or groomer, and they said they'd been meaning to get around to it but it's hard to find an appointment and the cost is a bit high for an expression now.
I watched a quick video showing how to fix the issue and it looked really easy, so I asked them if I should see if I can fix it, just real quick. They sort of nervously said "uh, sure, but be careful..."
So I did. I got the dog to be still, tentatively squeezed the little sac next to its bum just like the video showed...
...and immediately got a massive spray of the most vile material imaginable.
It hit me square in the chest, some got into my face, got all into the carpeting. I staggered back gagging as the dog ran off leaking it all over the place. All 3 of us threw up. The smell was so potent that I just felt completely ill and dizzy.
Needless to say they were pretty mad at me, and despite my showers I smell like dog glands...wife isn't speaking to me. But the dog did seem happier!
tl;dr tried to help a dog with scooting, wasn't "careful" enough, got sprayed with gland gunk
111210111213: I use a poop bag or tissue when I do it. You just free handed a dogs bung hole?
ShesASatellite: ^ this is the question we all need answers to
Tupnado21: Who said they didn’t just slowly headbutt the gland?
ShesASatellite: OP when they said they squeezed it? Tbf, we don't know what did the squeezing..

1657550828 | 1657552514 | t3_vwk5u9 | t5_2to41 | 10 | CycleSea2011: TIFU by pronouncing my former schoolmates name wrong for 19 years
I only realize the other day that I’ve been pronouncing a former schoolmates name wrong for the past 19 years. He never once corrected me until recently. He and his brother (we’ll call them Jacob and Marcus) came into my store, got in line and I started checking them out, asking how they were and such. They wanted Cigarettes so I asked for their IDs. Looking at both, I noticed that one of the brothers (Marcus) name was slightly different, so I made a comment about how his name was misspelled on his license. He looked at me and and ever so gracefully told me that he changed his name because people kept looking at it and mispronouncing it. So ever since Pre-K, everyone we grew up with has been mispronouncing his name and not a single person in their family said anything about it. So instead of his name being spelled “Marquiss” it’s now just “Marcus”. Not going to lie, I feel pretty bad, since I know what it’s like when people mispronounce/misspell my name, and a few of our classmates had really odd names too. The spelling of his name was really cool looking to me and now because people couldn’t seem to pronounce it correctly, he had to go and change it just to make things easier. He said it was all good. He figured he’d just tell former schoolmates one at a time whenever he saw them (since he doesn’t use social media), I just apparently beat him to it.
TL;DR
I mispronounced a former schoolmates name for almost 2 decades, he had to legally change his name so people would stop mispronouncing it when staring at it and now I feel like a fool.
frumpyfrog: I must know: is it mar-KISS or Mar-KEE?
Edit: or mar-KWISS?
CycleSea2011: It’s Maar-kiss, but we were saying Maar-Keez
frumpyfrog: Obviously I would have butchered it, too!
