1659724481 | 1659736644 | t3_wh2u2g | t5_2to41 | 61 | suicideDenver: TIFU: By drinking an energy drink thinking I was late for work. (Spoiler it was 3:30am, definitely not late for work)
TIFU by waking up convinced I was late for work. As I was so tired I decided to pound an energy drink before taking my shower. So I get up out of bed concerned something is wrong, I shouldn't be this tired. Wanting to make sure I don't have to call in I decide I should eat breakfast with the energy drink to hopefully wake up so I can do my job. I get down stairs and pull out the energy drink, I have them for this purpose, for drinking when I'm exhausted. I go to make a scramble for breakfast but realize I'm too tired, so a pop tart it is. I get that in the toaster and only lightly burn my fingers. Pop goes the toaster and it startles me, even though I was watching and waiting for it.
I make it to the couch with my pop tart and energy and decided I need ice water as well. I get the water, spilling about half of the cup because I bent down to grab something on the tile You know bending down with an open glass of water, perfect idea! I also didn't get what I was reaching for and almost fall over toweling up the water. As I'm eating breakfast and pounding my energy drink preparing myself to take the quickest shower of my life I look at my phone for the second time since waking up. I'm going to search when sunrise is, because dang it's dark out for being time to get ready.
Here's the fuck up, it was 3:30 am and I don't get up for work until 7:20am. And I had just ran the gammit of stratagems to win and wake my brain up. I standup to walk back to bed and dump crumbs on the floor. Nothing goes well when you get up 4 hours early and run the morning routines.
Now awake when I'm supposed to be, my neck hurts, my head feels weird, my brain is foggy, and I almost called into work for wait for it, being exhausted. I got one of the worst nights of sleep of my life because mid sleep I decided I should consume and energy drink. Highly disreccomend.
TLDR: Woke up, thinking late for work, consumed energy drink, realized it's 3:30am I'm not late, I'm awake 4 hours before my alarm.
brittmac422: I think we've all been there. I used to wake up on Saturdays thinking I was late for school, and I would run to the shower. Only realizing after I had bathed, that I wasn't late for anything. I did that often. These days I just wake up and get mad at being up early because I can't get back to sleep.
suicideDenver: Oh I've been here before somewhat, I've just never downed the energy drink k before realizing I was up early. I did the Saturday school thing when younger for sure.
brittmac422: Don't worry. When you get older, you will wake up to pee all the damn time. No idea how I know that.
suicideDenver: I have heard tales of this future.

1659730233 | 1659809129 | t3_wh52wd | t5_2to41 | 40 | bcvaldez: TIFU by trying to get a monster workout in before eating dinner with a girl's parents
(This actually happened about 18 years ago, I had originally posted this in the offtopic portion of a bmw car enthusiast forum, but thought it was worthy of sharing here)
Now, I've done squats many many times and I am used to having that rubbery feeling in your legs where you have a hard time walking... but the situation that arose today was one of the most helpless situations in my life. Basically, on the way to the gym I got a call from a girl I have been talking too that she wanted to invite me to her parents house for dinner...I said I would workout then meet up with her.
Well, being the idiot that I am, I did a monster leg workout that involved some poly-metrics and heavy back squats and lunges. This was nothing new to me as I expected my legs to feel like jello...
Fast forward to meeting her parents and having finished dinner, we are all chatting it up in their home bar when I have an urge to go use the restroom. So I excuse myself to use the restroom and my quads are done...like, I need help getting up from my seat and can't bend my knees when I walk without the risk of falling down, but I'm able to sneak away without drawing too much attention. The restroom was downstairs...so I have to kinda get on the ground and scoot my feet and ass down step by step thanking the lord I'm not in view of her and her family...
so it takes me about 5 minutes to just reach the restroom...when I get to the restroom I manage myself onto the toilet after some great pain and finally let the deuce drop. I go to wipe my ass but somehow forgetting I can't stand I lean forward and land on the side of my head and shoulder slightly breaking my fall with the hand not holding toilet paper.
Well, as this happened, 30 minutes are so has just passed and the girl getting restless comes to the restroom door to check on me and lying there on the ground in front of the toilet I say that I'm fine and I'll be out soon. She is saying that her dad wants to show me something. So I kinda lie down face down ass up wiping my butt and all that and I finish and am able to reach and flush the toilet..
well...now I'm really in a predicament...I can't get back up onto the toilet much less back to my feet. Like, I'm literally a f\*ckin cripple at this point and there is nothing in the restroom to help me get back up...so I'm like..."fuck it, I'll crawl outside and use the staircase rail to prop me up".
So now i'm crawling out the restroom with my legs kinda just there limp...I'm about halfway out when the entire family comes out into the hallway and sees me there on the ground looking like Lt. Dan. I can see that they all have this WTF/confused look on their face. All I could say was..."I did a monster leg workout and they are done."
TLDR; I overdid a workout, basically turning me into a cripple while having dinner at a girl's parents House. I had trouble properly wiping my butt and the amount of time it took me to complete the task made everybody come and check on me while lying prone on the floor halfway out of the restroom.
sprkwtrd: So.. did it work out?
No-Suggestion-9433: Either way he definitely did

1659732556 | 1659782120 | t3_wh5z9f | t5_2to41 | 20 | Ok-Figure596: TIFU by having an IUD
This happened about a week ago or so.
Backstory- I got an IUD placed a few months ago and haven’t had any problems with it so far. Whenever I got it placed I was dating my long-term boyfriend who said that he could feel the strings but they didn’t bother him.
A couple months ago my, now ex, boyfriend and I broke up. I’ve recently been putting myself out there and ended up with a friends with benefits type deal. I have known the guy for quite a while and we decided to hook up. He lives in my hometown and I was taking a trip to visit anyways so he popped into the Air BNB I was staying at.
We get down to it and decide to have sex with the lights off. The sex was fun and neither of us noticed anything off- until we turned the lights back on.
I was sitting on the bed and when the lights flicked on all I heard was, “What the fuck??!?” in a very panicked tone. I immediately look up and my hookup is COVERED in blood. I’m talking hands, whole penis, and up to his belly button. I look down at myself and low and behold, I’m also covered in blood- stomach, thighs, vag, and all. I freak OUT. I jump up and look at the bed and the bed is covered too. There was also a puddle forming on the floor.
After a few moments of initial shock and freaking out we run to the bathroom, he cleans up, I clean up, then we go back to the bedroom. We have NO idea what happened- neither of us are in any pain. We take a quick trip to the nearest gas station since it’s around 4am and get a shit load of hydrogen peroxide. We cleaned the bed, sheets, towels and everything.
He left and later that night messaged me that his dick had a gash on it and that was the source of the blood!! Apparently my IUD strings cut his dick! At least it was a confidence boost for him?? We still talk and are still friends. I have an appointment to get my strings cut back so we can continue our activities.
TL;DR I got an IUD and my hookups dick got cut by the strings.
angriestmongoose: Damn I’ve had mine since I was 18, so nearly almost 9 years and I’ve never had an issue like this. I hope I never do 😭
Ok-Figure596: I’m 18 and I’ve been on BC since I was around 11 due to heavy, heavy periods. It was absolute INSANITY. I was ready to bury my head in the ground and never speak to anyone again. 😭😭
angriestmongoose: That’s literally the reason I went on it. Had to wait until 18 though. I was on my dads insurance and he refused to let me go on birth control. My periods made me anemic. My mom thought I was on drugs because I was sleeping so much. Nope, just dying. I will never live life without birth control ever again
Ok-Figure596: I lived with my Grandmother who struggled heavily with her periods as a child. I’m glad she recognized my struggles and decided to put me on BC. I’m glad you were able to get started as well! I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I stopped for about 5 months in between the time that I was getting the shot & when I got my IUD and it was HELL. I’ll never live without it again either!
angriestmongoose: My mom never suffered from them like I did. I’m not sure where in the family I get it from. But my dad refused to believe me and my mom when she brought it up to him. He just assumed I wanted to have lots of sex. I just didn’t want to feel like I was dying going through a super plus tampon every 2 hours. I’d go through a whole box of tampons every month. RIP to my moms bank account. The misery of getting it put in and I’ve had it replaced once was BY FAR worth what life was like before it. Did have some terrible side effects like 60lbs I can’t seem to lose but I don’t feel like I’m dying anymore and that’s all that matters to me. And my periods are so much more manageable. Used to be able to make a box of tampons last around 6 months. But I’ve been so stressed lately I’ve been bleeding a bit heavier. But still not nearly as bad as before
Ok-Figure596: UGH! That’s the worst i’m so sorry!!! Men really are so clueless when it comes to womens health it’s honestly sickening! I used to throw up and pass out from the cramping pains and what did it for my grandma was when I woke up in a pool of blood and I had bled through a super+ tampon and a very large pad. It was horrendous. I’ll go through the pain of an IUD placement once every few years so I don’t have to deal with that garbage again. The only real side affect I’ve had from BC is that it heightened my metabolism greatly. I cannot gain weight. I’ve been sitting at 105 for around 2-3 years now and It’s so embarrassing. My doctor tried to institutionalize me for an ED and I had to beg her not to. I’ve had thyroid tests and heart tests because of it. But honestly it’s still worth it. I couldn’t ever struggle like I did before. I’m glad we are able to get this kind of help nowadays. I cant imagine being born 100 years ago and having to deal with the kind of periods I used to.
angriestmongoose: Ayo which one are you on?? I might switch when it’s time to replace mine in 2026 I think 😂
But yeah. I cried when my dad said no. It was just surreal that even my gynecologist recommended it and he still said no. I lived in misery for another 3 years 😭
Ok-Figure596: I’m on the Mirena LMFAO😭
I had a Christian pediatrician at the time and he did NOT want to put me on BC. My grandmother was like “absolutely not” and took me to a real gyno for their opinion. They put me on BC ASAP because of the bleeding. People need to get seriously educated on this shit! It’s killer & not in a good way. 😭
angriestmongoose: What the fuck I am too and I can’t lose weight at all. I’m stuck where I am. They consider it unnatural since it didn’t exist when Jesus did. That’s all I know about that
Tidalwaveofrain: Also on Mirena and for a brief period due to PCOS issues they had me on Mirena + regular birth control and I gained 60 lbs in 3 months and that was years ago and no amount of diet or exercise or even flat out starvation (not healthy, I know) has made any of that weight go anywhere
angriestmongoose: That’s literally where I’ve been since I was 22. I eat well and I exercise plenty (I’m also a mailman so there’s that exercise too) and I’m stuck where I am. I keep getting told it’s not the Mirena but that’s the only constant that’s been in my life since I’ve gained all my weight. boooooo

I was helping look for a rattlesnake at a scout camp and had to look in a pipe. There were many copperheads under that pipe and they got one out the next day and relocated it. Simple, I got to close to a copperhead but thankfully didn't get bit. I live in a place where copperheads haven't been seen in years so I don't really think about that at first 💀 copperheads are very common there and a kid got bit a couple years ago there. I'm hoping to go back next year and help them out with identifying the places they'd be and maybe even relocating the snakes and giving first aid to bite victimes. I love snakes and copperheads are my favorite venomous snake. It's a really straight forward story not to complex but still a fuck up 100% TL;DR I got close to a copperhead and didn't know it
zaqwert6: Seriously? Where is the r/ I kinda almost f'd up but absolutely nothing at all happened, reddit?

Basically I'm on vacation with a few friends and one friend (A) has a crush on another friend (B) of the party. I only learned of that recently during that vacation through friend (A) who swore me to secrecy.
Today we got drunk and I was chilling with friend (B) when friend (A) joined us and was like "Oh, Im so drunk, I can't lie. I'll tell the truth just ask me anything, ask"
And then I was like "You sure?"
And they were like "Yeah, ask me anything. Just ask, I'll only tell the truth"
Etc ect. I asked again whether they were truly okay and they said yeah OP ask me, whatever.
This was the gist of the conversation and I was kinda feeling like they were fishing for *the* question, and so after asking if they were sure thrice I asked "Who're you in love with?"
Cue awkward laughter and a quick distraction and now friend (A)'s like we're gonna talk tomorrow, and I'm super sorry to have gotten them into that situation since it's likely that (B) now knows.
Still, I feel like I kinda warned them and yet here we are. I probably shouldn't have assumed so tifu

[removed]
SadArm4678: You do realize that by accepting nudes from someone you thought was underage that it can be a felony right? Two underage people sending naked pictures to each other, of themselves, is child porn. Even when the people in the pictures are the ones sending it most states don't differentiate between over and underage when it comes to pornography and minors.
FLTDI: How did op "accept nudes" generally speaking you don't have a say in what you receive..... Now what they did with it is different. But based on what you're saying anyone could text you something illegal and boom you're a felon?
SadArm4678: Because they discussed age before photos were sent. Then after he got the photos he reiterated that he was 15 because she looked older than the 15 in the photos she sent him. So, he knew he was accepting underage photos and knew he was sendng underage photos.
FLTDI: You said "accepting nudes was a felony" that is what I disagree with. No arguments on sending them being a felony.
SadArm4678: "It is important to know that while sexting between consenting adults is not illegal, sending or receiving a sexually suggestive text or image to or from a person under the age of 18 is considered sexual exploitation or child pornography and can result in criminal charges."
It doesn't matter if you know they are underage when you receive it. Your buddy has a 16 year old girlfriend and she texts him her tits, child porn. He then forwards it to you, without you asking for it or knowing it was going to hit your messages, you've just received child porn. All three of you can be charged. Her and him twice. Her, production and sending of child porn (because most states do t have a distinction on selfies vs photographer) , Him recieving and distributing, you for receiving.
WhisperedEchoes85: Yep. And if one of them is a minor but at least 3 years older than the other, they get charged as an adult.
It's a wonder there aren't more stories of minors being tried for it, though.
SadArm4678: >It's a wonder there aren't more stories of minors being tried for it, though.
I would have to guess most of it is by products of another investigation. Like the kids in Stubenville, Ohio who raped an unconscious girl, boasted about it and blasted pictures all over social media, one got charged with disseminating child porn and he got an extra year for that.

1659741428 | 1659753127 | t3_wh9bk5 | t5_2to41 | 10 | crybabycakes: TIFU by losing my son’s favorite pet on Roblox
TIFU in the worst way, devastating my kid.
I help my two boys, 8 & 10, on a game called Pet Sim X on Roblox. I usually will leave my PC on and “farm coins” during the day with little regard to it. This helps advance worlds, buy eggs to hatch pets, etc. I use an autoclicker to keep the game active and continue to farm the coins.
Well, tifu by looking over at my laptop, seeing a trade offer window from another player. When I moved the mouse to see where the cursor was on the screen to decline the offer, the auto clicker accepted the offer to trade. I was flustered and annoyed at myself as I hate trading as a general rule unless I’m giving something away or trading with a person I’ve gotten to recognize on the game.
Without too much explanation as to how the game mechanics work, I found myself in a trade with someone who was offering a rather rare “huge” pet. I added a few comparable value items and accepted. As the transaction was counting down to go thru, I saw the error. While fumbling with my autoclicker, I “clicked” on my son’s incredibly hard-to-find “huge” dog pet, putting it into the trade.
This pet was unlocked by redeeming a code found on a real-life plush stuffed dog that I bought my son for his birthday. He sleeps with it in bed and adores his virtual pet.
Get this - because I worry about him accidentally trading it away - I keep it in my inventory on my account. I am such an asshole.
I immediately smashed the cancel button, but despite my attempt, the trade went thru.
The value of that single pet alone was around 950b in-game gems. Plus the other pets I added not realizing my mistake, at probably another 80b. For a pet worth in total 50b. Besides the obvious difference in value, I can not replace this huge doggie.
This person, having the luckiest day of their life, promptly exited the game and disappeared into oblivion with the above mentioned pets and my dignity.
My son will be home from summer school shortly and I will be tasked to try and explain my monumental f-up.
TLDR: tifu by trying to play a child’s Roblox game as a grown adult.
Rosey991: Try to get the dog again
crybabycakes: Definitely a good idea. Unfortunately it was an item that sold out during presale back in March and is no longer available for sale.
DarkAthena: Open a ticket with the game? Explain what happened?
NostradaMart: they really don't give a fuck though.

1659741349 | 1659748409 | t3_wh9ahf | t5_2to41 | 31 | Chewbock: TIFU by not eating the onions on my sandwich
I had to work today and for lunch I try to get local food to support local businesses. There was a new sandwich shop in town so I figured I would try them out. I got a delicious chicken avocado sandwich but when they handed it to me I didn’t realize it had onions on it.
So first off, I love onions. They taste amazing. My colon however, hates onions. Without going into too much detail it makes me want to invest in companies that make adult diapers. So when I took a bite out of this mouth watering sandwich I immediately noticed there were onions in it. I calmly opened the sandwich, removed the onions and threw them in the trash bag in my car. Then I went back to work inside.
Fast forward to four hours later and I go to get in my car to go home. Immediately when I open the door the stench hits me. We are talking full on body odor level onion smell. Like if the levels of offensiveness a scent can cause were compared to Cold War nuclear levels we are at DEFCON 5. These onions had sat in my car for four hours in 105° heat while I worked blissfully unaware in air conditioning.
So now I get to drive home with my eyes watering and try to explain to my wife when I get home that I not crying from an Adele song again, it’s just the onions. 0/10 will not do again.
TL;DR I got a sandwich for lunch and didn’t want the onions so I left them outside and accidentally poison gassed myself for my trip home.
BigJackHorner: DEFCON 5 is the lowest level and means the US is at Peace. I think you want the Hobo Power scale as invented by Adam Carolla used for rating foul smelling things.
Chewbock: Goddamnit yes, I’ll have to look up which one applies

IM fucking dumb- i decided to invade my sisters thoughts/personal things by reading her diary. I honestly meant well, I knew she was having difficulty adjusting to school and wanted to know how she is doing. I read the first page and discovered that she has major depression and is suicidal. Broke down in tears b/c what the fuck should I do. I don't know whether or not to confront her. Please keep in mind, she is not open at all and my family has is strict and doesn't believe in mental health. Sobbed for hours b/c I can't believe we have been going through similar mental health problems- I had depression and have been suicidal for a couple of years now. I really wish she came to me- we used to be so close before I went away to college. Unsure what to do:(((
TL:DR by reading my sisters diary and discovering she is suicidal
rogue-star-dust: My god , everyone these days is “suicidal”
Devittraisedto2: Perhaps because life is a struggle nowadays, especially with recent world events.

basically, i was chilling at my friend’s (female for those of you who are wondering) house scrolling through tiktok with headphones on when suddenly, this mildly attractive woman appears on my screen. as any guy knows, boners happen on their own and there is nothing you can do about it. the worst part is that i had grey sweatpants on (you can see where this is going).
i tried hiding it with a pillow but like the fucking dumbass i am, i subconsciously put the pillow behind my head then my friend glances at me. i hurriedly tried to put the pillow back. my friend could see the despair in my eyes as i try to put the pillow back where it originally was but it was already too late. my friend got a nice 4K Ultra HD view of my cock. words tried leaving my mouth but i was flabbergasted. so flabbergasted. words cannot describe how flabbergasted i was. after what felt like an eternity (probably 5 seconds) of staring at each other, i got up and said that i have to go to the bathroom.
im currently typing this in her bathroom. give me advice. right now. it is urgent. she probably thinks im whacking off while im over here spell checking my post because i failed english. send words of encouragement and advice. please and thank you.
TLDR: i went to my friends house for a sleepover, saw a tiktok video of an attractive woman, got hard, my friend saw, and im now hiding in her bathroom. please give me advice.
UPDATE: thanks for blowing this post up. well not really cause now thousands of people know about the story of me getting hard at a friends house. anyways, after about an hour of hiding, i just came out. we looked at each other and she just pretended nothing happen which i guess isn’t that bad. you know getting laid would’ve been much better but its whatever. sorry for the anticlimactic ending. we ended up just watching netflix and playing some games on her brother’s ps5. i’m gonna visit her house again tomorrow. till next time
UPDATE 2: we smashed. NAH IM JUST PLAYING. i wish. we ended up just falling asleep together after binge watching stranger things. oh well, maybe next time.
bloomautomatic: Best thing is to own it. She saw it. You saw that she saw it. Don't try to deny it Don't bring it up unless she does. Explain it's part of normal male anatomy at your age to get random erections at inopportune times.
Also, flex your thighs to take blood away from your penis to help it go down faster.
YourJimmysAreRusty: appreciate it man
bugworld: I find flexing my biggest muscles helps most. Do a couple squats if you can. Get those glutes and quads real blood hungry
maleheo: So now, OP is in the restroom grunting from doing squats while his friend is at the other side of the door wondering when he will finish.
rumblebee2010: In there grunting for a while, comes out sweating and panting, legs wobbling

1659754850 | 1659759103 | t3_whdt2z | t5_2to41 | 49 | chicken_steww_: TIFU by teasing my friend which she cut me off for.
So, some days ago my friend, more like friendly classmate/study buddy, stopped replying to me.
We knew each other from a competition we are both participating in so mostly our conversations surrounded that.
I have the habit of teasing my friends, and eventually I did tease her about the following things:
- she had bad internet
- she had a computer virus
- teams opened up every time her laptop turned on. (I told how I fixed it on my computer)
My teasing only goes as far as saying “HAHAHAHA good” once but that is about it. On the last day we talked normally she responded with the same comment I get with my friends (always on a playful note) “you laugh about my unfortunate things” and I said “I won’t deny it”.
But either way, she told me “you upset me” (this is translated so it doesn’t reflect well) I said again, “good😎😎”
She then stopped answering my occasional class related questions, and told me yesterday that I made her feel uncomfortable for the fact that I laughed at her problems.
I have thought about this and I do think I crossed a line, ignored it when she told me it was upsetting, I know that there are people who think differently than me so i can’t expect them to react the same. I decided to stop saying those things from now on regardless of who I’m with.
Do you guys think I crossed a line or that I was annoying?
I think she could have thought that if I laughed about things like that I would also do that to more serious situations. And I’m pretty sure I’m still trying to excuse my behavior (for writing this knowing fully that what I did was wrong)
TLDR: teased my friend about what I thought were small things (shitty Internet, slow laptop) and she cut me off completely.
2amante10: She told you that you upset her so yes, you crossed a line. And in response you said “good.”
She thinks you like upsetting her (which you said you do) and has decided not to let you upset her any more.
chicken_steww_: Yeah I thought about it, I apologized, we talked and went our own ways with ease. It will serve as a lesson for sure…
2amante10: Best way to handle it. Glad you’re taking something from it. Good luck down the road.

1659756068 | 1659797063 | t3_whe6la | t5_2to41 | 488 | Dngrsone: TIFU by stabbing myself in the leg
Not my finest moment, to be sure.
​
I was cutting open a plastic jar, and doing it in the most dangerous way and, just as I realized "this is stupid" the knife slipped out of the plastic and into my leg, a mere inch and a half (38.1 mm) away from my knee.
​
The cut was only a little over an inch long (27 mm), and maybe 3/4" (19mm) deep, but because of its location, I was unable to simply butterfly it together.
​
I'd get the bandages on, and then bend my leg and they'd fly off (and squirt blood). I put some over-the-counter blood coagulant on it, applied a compression bandage and went to urgent care.
​
So I get to the Urgent Care center, get into a room, where the patient's be was set into a seated position. I consulted with a Nurse Practitioner who was ready to throw in two or three stitches, but first the wound needed to be cleaned.
​
After a while, a tech came in to clean my wound. Now, a small fact (on of many, I assure you)--I have a very high pain threshold. It's a known fact in my family that the women can shrug off a lot of pain, whether it be broken limbs or giving birth, and I have inherited that gift. With that in mind, be assured that I really didn't feel much pain while the tech was lightly scrubbing away at my cut.
​
The coagulant had made a tough film inside the wound, and was being difficult to get out. I felt very little pain, but my stomach was starting to bother me (I hadn't eaten yet, that day). The last time I was in an Emergency Room was some eighteen years ago or so, when I nearly tore my little toe off. When the doctor set the broken toe, I had the same upset stomach right before I fainted (a detail which my SO delights in harassing me about).
​
I knew after a few moments that I might faint this time, as well--my body was going into shock--and I asked for some water and to lay down. But, apparently, the bed was stuck in the 'chair' position, and I passed out while sitting upright.
​
I then, I was later told, started twitching: my arms and legs were moving spastically, and the tech thought I was having a seizure. She tried take my pulse and couldn't find one. Another fun fact (two, actually)--My resting pulse has always been on the low side, around 60 beats per minute, and my blood pressure also low, like 112/65 or so. The conclusion, therefore, was that not only was I having seizures, but I was also apparently dead.
​
Next thing I know, the room was full of people, I was being slid into a wheelchair and being rushed to the Emergency Ward. I was put into a bed, My legs bent, and IV stuck in my arm and blood pressure taken. Low pulse, low BP. "I'm sorry," I said, "just went into shock a little." Then came the questions: no, I'm not squeamish about needles, nor blood, not epileptic nor prone to fainting spells (except for that one amusing episode).
​
Eventually, after a full bag of saline was dripped into me, a doctor came in and glued my cut together. That poor nurse Practitioner didn't even get to stitch me up (to my SOs mild dismay).
​
The Doctor was liberal with the butterflies and glue on top of it all, and I had to wait an extra hour and a half for that to solidify before I was allowed to leave.
​
In the end, what should have been a one- to two-hour stitching up, turned into four and a half hours of boredom punctuated with a pseudo medical emergency, and a lovely story to regale my fellow redditors with.
​
The moral of the story is, don't cut toward you, you freakin' dolt! Oh, and apparently, I tend to go into shock and faint when I am being worked on now, I guess.
TL;DR I stabbed myself and caused some medical staff to think I died.
omkarislegend: I once saw turning red in cinema, I had a heart attack. I almost died
JamieDrone: That movie was terrible
omkarislegend: I almost died of cringe
JamieDrone: LMFAO true
omkarislegend: That scene where his mom yells at the shop employees for no reason was so cringe bruh
JamieDrone: I didn’t get even 10 minutes in before I had to watch something else
SuraKatana: Come on, don't exaggerate that movie wasn't bad at all
JamieDrone: It kinda was tho…

1659756826 | 1659758000 | t3_whef8j | t5_2to41 | 25 | Charlie_fromthecafe: TIFU by accidentally having a panic attack at my boyfriend's birthday party
Look I know how the name sounds, but I really didn't mean it. I (nb18) was with my bf (M18) and his family and some mutual friends to celebrate his birthday! Everything was going great.
I should give context for what is about to be explained. I have severe sexual trauma and I am still learning to get through it. I have a lot of physical triggers that cause me to panic badly.
So now on with the story. Me, Bf, his friend (we will call him F1), and his other friend (we will call him F2) were all in the downstairs area, some of his family was around aswell. Me and F1 were resting around (it was all in good fun) but his friend got too aggressive and sat on my back at a point I couldn't breathe and I started to panic. I tried moving and talking but it felt hard for a bit, and I could only roll slightly. I was finally able to yell out "Get off of me" before my memory gets a bit fuzzy.
BF knows about the trauma and quickly took me away from the situation and comforted me. I didn't mean to have a trigger happen, and I didn't think one would.
The rest of the night my bf seemed a little on edge and I feel horrible. I want to make it up to him and I plan to. I invited him to have steak and ribs with me and my family next weekend. I feel so bad about this.
TLDR: Boyfriend's friend accidentally and unknowingly triggered a panic attack for me due to sexual trauma while celebrating said boyfriends birthday.
Virtura: This doesn't sound like a fu. Your bf was, and is, concerned for you.
Charlie_fromthecafe: I think I fu because it is his day and I messed it up and he got worried
Virtura: I doubt he would want you to dwell on it, you trust him with your history, and his awareness and quick reactions managed to pull you back from a panic attack.
If anything this sounds like a "my bf was awesome on his birthday".
Honestly, rather than apologise (dwell on how you feel may have negatively affected the celebration) just thank him for being so quick thinking and moving.
Charlie_fromthecafe: I think I'll do just that. I truly love him and I want to make him as happy as he makes me, I just wish I didn't have the trauma so he wouldn't have to deal with it when it peaked. I'll just thank him and show him extra love!
Virtura: I'm happy for you, and your boyfriend, it sounds like he cares for you as much as you do him.

[deleted]
SadArm4678: Someone talking to you doesn't equal a physical response. You don't like the guy that acts like a dude bro and you continue to put yourself in his path. So much so that you told him you weren't in the mood for his shit which is just baiting someone like that to give you see of his shit. You weren't in danger and escalated a verbal altercation into a physical one with a weapon.. You had already decided you were going to use it so it was just a matter of time. What I am stuck on is why you are hanging out, and chiming in, somewhere that you aren't an employee. Even if you go snag something because you happen to be there, you aren't a mechanic, so you shouldn't be commenting on any repairs. I'm interested how the brain works but not trying to give a neurosurgeon suggestions on how to do his job.
PollutionCareless530: I've been working on cars for years and we live basically at the shop yard. These people are literally in my front yard every day and im always being asked to help. I'm struggling to understand how you decided I was not a mechanic or mechanically inclined and how you came to the conclusion I was wrong for even fucking existing here. Not to mention the fact that while i did react physically I had asked him more than once to leave me alone and even before that he has consistently asked me to help him run heavy calls with him. It seems like instead of coming here to help you decided to throw salt on me which honestly I don't have room for any more hurt so do your worst dude.
There was no verbal altercation, I wasn't speaking to him when he said that to me and I walked away after. He followed and wouldn't leave me alone. He's knocked on my door before this and demanded I go with him and even had the nerve to proposition me. Like my post said I brushed it off so as not to make any waves. I am extremely kind and patient until I'm hurt and what you call physical is something that these guys laugh at.
But sure, thanks for the input I guess.
Also I never said I commented on a repair.... I said I responded to the conversation about something my boyfriend had to do. We were all standing in a circle talking.
SadArm4678: > (I have a genuine interest in mechanics and would like to get my certification).
That's it. None of
>I've been working on cars for years a
PollutionCareless530: It was supposed to say heavy auto mechanic. Either way you chose to make an assumption here. Have you ever worked in this field? If so you would know most small shops don't require any specific certification to work on cars you just gotta know what you're doing. Most people who do this have been under a car since they were little. The only reason I'd want the extra certification is because I'm small statutes and female and it would help me be taken a little more seriously in this male dominated field.
SadArm4678: No. You left out information. You are in the wrong. You took a taser to your husband's coworker. You escalated a verbal nonphysical situation into a physical one. And if you are on the payroll, sure chime in. If you just help because you are hanging out then butting in could very well be undermining your boyfriend with his co-workers. If he isn't taking your side, do you think maybe there is a reason for that.
PollutionCareless530: Boyfriend...and like I said before that isn't something people here consider physical or too far. It's not even abnormal. This is the south mkay. We do it a little different here.
And again, I am asked to help and don't fucking mind it. What even is your intention right now? I guess you'd have to understand how blue collar southern people actually are. I fucking LIVE at a tow yard. Exactly what do you think that means?

Yeah, sure you are. Its not like it’s easy to make a Reddit account, especially one with exactly 2 posts, and these two posts specifically. Honestly, I’d find this more believable if you had just posted with a throwaway account or from your own account, vs. your “best friend’s account.”
Uranls: Look at how long the account has been here
Jameschoral: Half a year with no posts other than this one and comments that reek of “teenage boy”
I have a 4 year old alt account that has 0 posts and maybe 75 comments on it. It’s not hard to do.

1659763410 | 1659788379 | t3_whger0 | t5_2to41 | 28 | milk-machine: TIFU by losing my daughter’s snake
My 15 year old daughter was in Florida for the week, so I was on snake duty. She has an albino corn snake that’s about 4 years old and about 3 feet long. I gave her fresh water during the week and watched her looking at me for a while when I was in the room. I don’t go into that room every day and we have an auto timer for her heat lamp and light. Feeding day was yesterday morning, so I plopped her mice on the dish and went about my day. I didn’t see her then, but that’s not unusual. I hadn’t seen her in the last couple days, but again, it was daytime when I’d pass through the room. It was after midnight and the mice were still on the plate. Sometimes she skips meals if she’s near a shedding, but she recently shed. My daughter came home today and we combed through the tank, the snake was nowhere to be found. I noticed that even if the top appears on, there’s a slight opening in one corner if you don’t line it up just right. We have roughly 3,000 square feet in our home and half of what she owns is pink. We tore apart the whole basement (finished, where the snake is kept) looking for her. I have live traps coming tomorrow.
TLDR: Daughter’s corn snake got loose while she was on vacation. She’s somewhere in our large house and I feel terrible!
Coco_Dirichlet: How did it get out of the enclosure exactly? Did you leave it open?
milk-machine: The top was on. We have a tank with a screen top. Looking closely at it, if not put on just right, there’s a small gap in one of the corners. I’m guessing that’s how she got out. She’s long, but very thin.

TIFU by getting frustrated at my poor computer
Basically school starts on monday my dads on the phone trying to help me get my online school ID
he told me its supposed to be on my phone but i wanted to do it on my computer ans not listen to him because i thought it would be faster and help
We have these jetpacks for wifi
they just got reset today so they are pretty slow
I get mad at the wifi though for being to slow and start banging on my computer blaming it and shit
i get frustrated that the computer isn't running fast enough and dont stop and think about the fact the jetpacks reset so because i got pissed off at it i then throw my mouse at the screen and break it
Which is really fucking dumb cause now i wont have a computer and im scared to tell my dad because i know he'll get really mad and probably break my phone i dont know if im able to move anything to a different computer
I already broke the last keyboard and got my phone taken i dont want it snapped in two this time
im not the most gentle person when it comes to electronics but this is really bad my dad had to give my brother a whole tv for a monitor
but hes not got enough money to buy me a new monitor and im really nervous to even tell him
TL;DR [got frustrated because my jetpacks just reset for the month didn't think about the jetpacks, blamed my poor computer, threw computer mouse at my monitor and broke it]
Mode-Klutzy: Ok first off who the hell has school on the first flippin day of august? All schools outside of colleges where I live start on like the last week of august
hoosier-daddy-69: Southern schools in the USA start in early august

1659751557 | 1659818681 | t3_whcrj7 | t5_2to41 | 24 | StevenTheFancyVance: TIFU by landing in jail (possibly prison)
Obligatory didnt happen today. Using my main accont cause my whole family knows me as the sock bandit.
TIFU by doing something ridiculius... yesrs ago
Oh it is story time. Ill try to keep it short.
Back in 2013 I moved to a new city for a fresh start at a tech school. I was about 3 weeks sober from years of mostly drinking and using drugs.
Instead of going to school I relapsed as soon as my family left, drank and did drugs for weeks on end; to the point I was not coherent. By the end of it I had put socks on my hands, put a steak knife in my pocket, and went to the store in the building next to mine.
Well between video evidence (both court and local news!) I surmised that I went into the store, politely waited for it to clear, asked the people for one pack of smokes. Then I guess I casually placed the steak knife on the counter and promised to pay them back tomorrow.
This is all, supposedly, with a mustache and beard full of white powder and tube socks on my hands. I guess I took the smokes and left. In my inebriated state I was gladly telling my neighbors in my new building what I did.
Well a few minutes later a swat team was at my door and I woke up detoxing horribly. I was told I was charged with armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, among other things, and on remand.
That was the start of a more serious attempt at sobriety but there have been more bumps in the road.
TLDR - I got so messed up I landed in jail on serious federal charges. But positve note. As of Sept 26 Ill finally be a year sober, and getting married.
ThinkCow83: You need to work on your writing skills.... There is no way this is even remotely real.
StevenTheFancyVance: Yet it is and Im actually a professional writer. Just didnt put much effort into structure.
Spent a few weeks in jail. Got bailed out to rehab and pled guilty to lesser charges. Ended up with 3 years probation.
harmonicrain: If you're a professional writer you must have a fantastic editor who obviously wasn't available to proof read your post, as it reads like it was written by someone with a vague idea of the English language.

Darksusan: I’d start to document everything said to you and by who and make it clear to your work that while this happened outside of work she has brought it into work and is creating a hostile work environment for you which as your innocent is not on and you want something done asap
flickidawrist: I tried doing that with HR but they kept saying they can't do anything about her since she accused me out of work
Darksusan: But she is bringing it into work but telling your coworkers and creating a hostile work environment. Show them proof that at least some of the staff have been treating you poorly because of her unfounded and false accusations. Ask the ones on your side what she and her father have been saying and you have proof her father confronted you at work. Apology or not this is causing you real issues and they need to step up. Tell them if they refuse to handle this you will take it further and make it clear they refused to protect you.
flickidawrist: He has apologised for the confrontation and the accusation as HR has noted so they're taking action against him but not her. I have an email typed out that my paralegal friend advised me to type out to question why HR refuses to bring her into question. Our company has one HR worker who turns out, is best friends with the family spreading the allegation and my supervisor isn't happy about that. So I think I'll be taking legal action
Darksusan: Yeah she’s trying to protect them from her false accusations. I’d take this to the top of the company and point out what she is doing and how her actions will have a very negative effect on the company I’d also threaten to go public with this and see how they like the press finding out how they handle things as a company
flickidawrist: My uncle through is a senator for the Labour Party so I was tempted to bring the message to him and the workers Union but I'm going to wait til the Board of Directors decide what disciplinary actions take place. If any. If I'm unhappy then I'll be taking it further. But as for the girl who started the problem I'll be telling her Monday ill be going to a solicitor
Darksusan: Make sure you have someone with you recording when you speak to her never approach her without a witness recording or the next thing you know she will spreading around that you attacked her brutally and she’s lucky to be alive. Liars like her tend to double down when confronted. Always have a witness recording just for your own protection.

1659775993 | 1659779058 | t3_whjpzd | t5_2to41 | 18 | The_best_one_-_: TIFU by hurting the best person in my life, going after someone who wasn’t worth it.
So, about 4 months ago I met this girl at work, Alicia. Instantly we hit it off. Great connection, had fun working together, it seemed fantastic. After work I waited for her to ask for her number, but chickened out last second. Now, where I work is a side thing for me, something to get me out of the house, so I only go in about once a week. I went in next week, didn’t see her, and the week after and I didn’t see her again. I hopped back on tinder, matched a few people and started talking.
That’s when I met Lauren. We chatted for a couple of days, got on amazingly and met up a few days later. She stayed at mine, we slept together, and she stayed over for the next few days. Lauren is this caring, and thoughtful person. I’ve never met anyone like her. However, we both agreed neither of us were after / wanting a relationship. She recently got out of a serious relationship and needed to sort some things out in her own head. My head was still all over the place from dealing with a long term relationship ending as well, and a stalker shortly after. On top of that I’m currently in therapy, and I’ve been dealing with bursts of anxiety and depression. So we agreed to be FWB.
A week after, I go into work, same as usual I think. But Alicia is there. At first I think she doesn’t remember me, but she then starts flirting and by the end of the shift she gives me her number. I tell Lauren that she gave me her number. Alicia after a few days asks me out, not on a labelled “date” but something close to it. Cocktails and drinks essentially. Lauren tells me to go, even offers to drive me. I go, have a good time, then I end up at hers. We don’t sleep together but some stuff does happen. As I’m walking back at 3am Lauren texts me saying it’s too much for her. We talk and settle that we’re not serious and that we can see other people, just that maybe we shouldn’t mention stuff to the other person, unless we sleep with someone else.
Over the next 3 months I meet up with Lauren a few times a week and see Alicia weekly too. One drunken day Alicia and I sleep together. I put a stop to it pretty quickly but it had happened. Although we’re just FWBs, we agreed to not sleep with other people and I broke that trust. So I tell Lauren. She’s heartbroken. I think that this is the end. Somehow we carry on. We agree to just be friends, and that we don’t need to tell the other person anything that happens anymore, as we’re just friends, but when we’re around each other things often drifted into more than that again. A week goes by where we seem set on just being friends. Nothing happens between us. I think this is it, we’ve found that balance, we’re just friends. Me and Alicia meet up, get drunk as usual, and things escalate again. Eventually she’s on top of me and we have sex. I feel really uncomfortable again, so I stop things. I don’t tell Lauren because we’re just friends and we’re not sleeping together anymore anyway. That’s what I thought at least.
Another week passes and me and Lauren fall back into the old routine. She tells me that from now on she’ll only have sex with me if I’m not sleeping with anyone else. I agree but she doesn’t know I had already slept with Alicia before this, during a time we said we didn’t have to disclose anything. We keep trying to just be friends but the sex is fantastic and we both sort of have some feelings for one another, Lauren having stronger feelings for me. I keep meeting up with Alicia, Lauren still knows this, but I refuse to do anything with her. About a month and a half ago Alicia starts going on dates with this other guy. About three weeks ago she tells me she has always had feelings for me. I start to catch feelings for her, hard. I don’t know why to be honest, I like Alicia but me and Lauren are so much more of a better fit, Lauren is everything I’ve ever wanted but there’s just no feeling there. I tell Lauren. Lauren’s heart broken again, but just wants me to be happy. I try and pursue Alicia but it’s too late, I missed the window, she likes the other guy more. What me and her have together completely breaks down, we argue, and we stop talking. Now I’m heart broken. I tell Lauren and she’s spent the past few days trying to make me feel better.
Now here’s the fuck up cherry on the sundae of fuck up. Lauren stays over last night to comfort me because I had a really rough anxiety attack last night whilst at work. We start talking and somehow Alicia is brought up. Lauren finds out we sexted, and asks if I ever slept with her again. I promised her I’d always be honest if she ever asked me anything. I told her yes, that we slept together one more time during that period where we tried to just be friends. She’s hurt by this. She goes quiet and she packs her stuff to go to work. She said she’d see me after work but I don’t know if she will. Although I didn’t have as strong feelings for Lauren as I did for Alicia, she meant more in every way to me and yet I hurt her so much more. I trust her more, I care about her so much more, I just didn’t have that strong desire and feeling that I really wish I did have. I might have just lost the closest person to me.
TL;DR: Hurt the person closest to me by catching feelings and sleeping with someone else
TheScruffyStacheGuy: You and Lauren both fucked up for setting weird rules and confusing, contradictory agreements with eachother... You felt guilty for technically following the rules and Lauren got upset that you slept with someone in a period where you both agreed this was allowed?? You people sound really difficult and fickle. You're allowed to date people but not sleep with them? That doesn't make any sense. I'm honestly glad Alicia got away when she did because she doesn't deserve to get dragged in to the convoluted mess that you and Lauren started. Jfc
The_best_one_-_: Maybe that’s true. I didn’t mention it in too much detail but Alicia was sort of doing the same thing as me. For the past month she’s gone on dates, and fallen for the guy. Up until Wednesday she told me she would do anything to be with me, made a lot of advances, and that she really liked me and couldn’t live without me, then on Wednesday admitted she lost feelings about 3-4 weeks ago despite saying everything to the contrary. In all honestly, the only person in this whole situation that wasn’t in the wrong is Charlie, the guy she’s dating, who she’s kept everything from. I hurt everyone involved by being indecisive and not knowing what I wanted, Lauren tried to ignore her feelings and set boundaries that hurt herself, and Alicia lied to Charlie and me for months.
The whole situation is fucked. I didn’t want a relationship because I didn’t want to hurt myself or anyone else again. I only wanted a relationship if I had that feeling and I knew things were right. In the end it’s done the exact same amount of damage. I thought I could handle FWBs or dating even if I wasn’t ready for a relationship, yet it’s just caused the same confusion.

1659778309 | 1659783635 | t3_whkb2p | t5_2to41 | 13 | 355822: TIFU Self image vs Enjoying it
So I'm bi, and I haven't been with a girl in a long time. Started talking to this lady online, and we kinda hit it off, she's sweet and has a cute face. Kinky and confident. All good things.
We met up for a date and she's got a super awesome personality and just as nice in person as she was online and I am really enjoying spending time with her.
Anyway she says she wants to get with me, so we go back to my place and spend hours having sex with each other and I'm really feeling it and so apparently is she.
But like, she's quite large (overweight). And in the moment I didn't care but afterwards I feel dirty and ashamed for sleeping with her. And I don't know if it's because I was desperate to sleep with a girl, or because she has such a great personality or because I was just swept up in the moment.
But now I feel ill and kinda grossed out by it, even though at the time I was into it. My heart wants to talk to her again, but my body feels gross. I feel totally embarrassed for enjoying her company and genuinely having enjoyed myself... So conflicted.
TL;DR: First time sleeping with a girl in ages, great personality but she's overweight now I feel gross and guilty and confused.
13AccentVA: You need to take a moment and decide if your emotional and mental attraction (assuming there is a connection there) can surpass your lack of physical attraction and how the three balance for you.
I've dated women whom I didn't find physically attractive at all, but for me emotional attraction is the most important of the three.
Being where you are now you should try to figure it out quickly, you don't want to lead her on any longer if you decide it's not going to work for you. If you don't think you can decide quickly at least let her know what's going on in your head so she can decide for herself if she wants to wait while you figure it out.
355822: That's fair. I just feel shitty because she's such a good person. I just don't feel physically attracted... I want to be. I want to rise above it and like her for her many other great qualities. But my body just won't let me. What's worse, I know she's sensitive about her size and I don't want to hurt her feelings. This totally sucks.
13AccentVA: Honestly you should feel bad about it, it was a pretty crap thing to do. But that doesn't mean you cannot at least try to make it right. Whatever you decide to do make sure you confront it quickly, the longer you wait the meaner it is to her and the worse you'll feel when it inevitably does come up.
355822: But I don't want to feel like this. I want to like her for who she is.
13AccentVA: Unfortunately you can't undo what's been done, you're remorse is a good sign that you're not a bad person, you were caught up in the moment and weren't thinking clearly.
Use that remorse to never let it happen again and a driving force to push you to do what's needed.
Obviously you know her better than I, but you can try to bring it up gently, let her know exactly how you feel and offer solutions like helping with healthy eating and a joint workout routine. You mentioned she's sensitive about her weight, the second best thing to finding someone who can overlook your faults is finding someone who will help you better said faults.
As u/Mode-Klutzy mentioned, it may hurt her, but it also may be what helps her try to turn it around and pursue a healthier lifestyle.

1659765883 | 1659829320 | t3_whh3lm | t5_2to41 | 4 | Hemlock-Harvest: TIFU by letting my dog off leash
Everyday my dad and I take our dog, Penny, on a 45ish minute walk around our neighborhood. Today's walk was off to a good start. We chatted with one of our neighbors while Penny played with her best friend (an older sheepdog). After that we where ambushed by 3 younger dogs (a lab, poodle, and Bernese Mountin dog) who were playing in a nearby backyard. Luckily Penny was tried out from playing with her BF to really care and got along well with the others. She's 12 years old and very particular about other dogs generally acting more like an old lady. As we had been walking and talking for about 30mins my dad suggested we take a shorter route back. I insisted we should take her to the creek as it has just rained and would be full of water; my first mistake. We continued onto our normal route unaware of what we had just set into motion. When we arrived at the creek area we let her off leash; our second mistake. We typically let her off leash in this area so she can wade in the small creek that runs along the sidewalk. As soon as we let her off she bolted into the creek laping up water and prancing along beside us. Eventually we got to a bend along the creek and she decided to check out a small area of woods on the other side. We continued on walking letting her explore as she always bolts back to us once we get too far away. Well this time we get all the way to the end of the creek path before she comes running back. At first I was excited to see her sprinting across the grass. However, once she got about a foot away I had realized why she had taken so long to come back. Her entire neck, collar, bandana, and ears where coved in shit and it smelled AWFUL. It didn't look like scat from any wild animal instead it looked exactly like human waste. Somehow she must has found a leak of raw sewage and it reeked. We spent the remainder of the walk trying to keep her as far away from us as possible. I would also like to note it was 83 degrees out and humid as all hell. Occasionally the breeze would blow through providing a nice waft of sewage into our faces. As soon as we got home we washed her down with soap and water outside. We threw off her collar and bandana which were caked in shit onto the grass hosing them down aswell. We dried her off and let her inside. However, she still smelt. When my mom came home she demanded we wash her a second time so we brought her to the bathroom and washed her agian. It appeared that the feces had gotten inside her ears (they fold over like a labs) and we spent a good while cleaning them with paper towel and a q-tip. Unfortunately this was still not enough to get rid of the smell. I then went back in wiping down her whole face for the 3 third bath of the day. She smells better now, but if you get too close to her face you can still smell the sewage.
Tldr: We let our dog off leash and she promptly dunked her face into human feces. We can't get rid of the smell after 3 sperate baths.
Fit_Ad_7681: That sucks, hopefully you can get her cleaned up. If there is a sewage leak, you'll want to let the city know so they can fix it/ clean it up.
Hemlock-Harvest: I'm going to check next time we walk in the area. Hopefully it was just a one off thing.

1659762199 | 1659809487 | t3_whg1wj | t5_2to41 | 97 | Press_Q: TIFU by being the worst upstairs neighbor
I have a personal story to share. Top floor dweller here. This didn’t happen today but it’s a good story, and I didn’t know where else to post this.
There was one night where I was attempting to fall asleep when I began to hear light thuds against what appeared to be coming from my floor. This would happen periodically from time to time as the days went on. At first, I thought it was just a mistake or random occurrence, but I began hearing it frequently before bed as I was walking around my room. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the bottom resident was mad at me for walking too loud at night.
So, what I did was try to walk quieter for a few nights. This did not seem to help the thuds. Then, I switched tactics. I thought to myself that my neighbor was just being a dick at this point. So I started to pound on my floor with a closed fist back at them whenever I heard it in retaliation.
This back and fourth lasted a few weeks. I was beginning to get fed up and was close to knocking on their door and confronting them. That was around the time when one night, walking out of my room to the bathroom, I saw my cat in the room next to mine, tail wagging back and fourth, hitting the wall and making thud noises.
This is one of the biggest feelings of guilt I had ever experienced. I never spoke with my neighbors, and I moved out a few months later. Sorry neighbor 🤣🤣
TLDR:
I heard banging from the apartment below me. Tried multiple tactics to diffuse without confrontation because the bangs seemed to only happen at night when I was getting ready for bed. Thought neighbor was being a dick, so I banged back at them in retaliation for weeks. It was actually my cat.
dendrax: If the walls are that thin that they can hear your cat, it's probably more on your landlord than you. Apartment living can be tough sometimes. Carpets help, as does not wearing shoes inside. We used to have an upstairs neighbor we called "Mr Thumpy" but he played music with loud bass on his stereo all the time and that's what we could hear.
not4always: It was the cat making the bangs not the neighbor
Reflection_Secure: I thought the downstairs neighbor was banging because of the cat. Thank you!

[removed]
mcdreamymd: Therapy. Now.
Under the assumption this is a real letter and not some 2-bit V.C. Andrews fanfic, you need multiple levels of family and personal counseling. You banged your much younger, barely legal sister while you have a pregnant girlfriend. Don't use your libido as a convenient excuse - millions of horned out guys manage not to bang their little sisters EVERY DAY. Stop with the "she seduced you" BS - you're a grown ass man and she's a year out of high school. You were a teenager when she was learning how to read. You need to come to grips with the fact that you are a very sick individual. You're not fixing this quickly.
Your family has every right to disown you. I wouldn't blame them if they did. You may have also completely wrecked your sister's ability to have a healthy relationship for the rest of your life. Any woman with a basic sense of decency would keep your twisted incestuous ass away from her and the baby.
Hope the nut was worth it, bro.
Cloistered_Surgery: Just as any good person I always wish the best for my siblings, the question of age here has little relevance here as we are both legal concenting adults I would go as far as to say she is much more mature than me despite her age. I struggle to see how I could have possible wrecked her ability to have a health relationship as she is a very open minded individual. I personally struggle to see how I am a so sick historically incest was very common.
WhisperedEchoes85: >I personally struggle to see how I am a so sick historically incest was very common.
So was slavery, human sacrifice, corporal punishment, child marriage, trial by combat, punishment for relatives and children of convicted felons, no worker's rights, burning at the stake, crucifixion, suppression of free thinking... the list goes on.
You do not live in those times, so you don't get to use that excuse.
LeaderofYoutube: But don't you think that age is a number and if you have your own morals, should it really affect your life this much if it's just in your familly
WhisperedEchoes85: I think there are strict ethical guidelines that must be adhered to if one wishes to partake in society. If morals and ethics conflict with each other to such a drastic degree, you either subdue your morals or remove yourself from society and live in such a manner that ethics do not apply. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
[deleted]: I disagree since ethics are a subjective matter, in one culture incest could be fine and in another it could be seen as evil
WhisperedEchoes85: That is entirely accurate. And if OP wants to live in such a culture, they can work towards moving to a region/country that more aligns to their desires. Cannibalism is culturally acceptable in some areas, but you wouldn't actively participate in it within a first-world nation.
[deleted]: Well I personally I think that culture should allow incest since a sister is human at the end of the day and a female human at that :)
WhisperedEchoes85: There are cultures that agree with you. That's the great thing about being on such a large planet with such diversity - you can *usually* find a place that's accepting of your preferred lifestyle and beliefs (note the emphasis on "usually").

1659794670 | 1659909319 | t3_whp3gq | t5_2to41 | 2,350 | Fluid-Worldliness-77: TIFU by telling a woman she doesn't have to buy water
I work in a store and today a woman came and bought 36 half liter bottles of water. Which would be strange but I work in a tourist trap and from her accent I got that she was Brittish. So definitely a tourist.
Now a lot of tourists don't know that our tap water is perfectly safe to drink even without a filter. As a result, many spend a lot of money on bottled water which is, of course, marked up like crazy.
If a customer complains about how much money they spend, I try to explain to them that they don't need to buy bottled water and can just drink tap water from their hotel or apartment. The usual response is okay, but I'll still buy it because it feels safer or I'm used to it. All of them still appreciate the advice and say thank you.
Well, today this woman, as I read to her the amount she has to pay, looked shocked and said "that's not right". I tried to explain the situation again.
Now in my mind I said "well you don't need to buy this water because our tap water is safe to drink". I thought it sounded okay. But a combination of my tired, low voice and the fact that I didn't look at her but the monitor made it sound very mean spirited. Just as I finished the sentence, I realised how mean it sounded, but it was too late.
She just responded with "well you don't have to be soo rude".
I tried to explain that I didn't mean to be rude, it just came off like that.
I don't think she believed me. She just paid and left. And I forgot to even say I'm sorry. That definitely didn't help. I just wanted to be helpful but I ended up sounding like an entitled rich brat.
Anyway, now I feel like a piece of shit :,)
TL;DR I told a woman she doesn't need to buy water without thinking how mean it sounded.
Sin317: We, in our first world country, have drinkable tap water fountains everywhere outside. Not just in town, but also on small country roads and trekking paths etc.
But then we also have tap water with a quality so high, it regularly beats bottled water in all sorts of tests, including taste, lol.
(Switzerland, in case someone is wondering)

Sin317: You're a bit late to the party...

You can argue new definitions all you want, but it's really Switzerland who's late to the West....

Sin317: Someone take this guys shovel away. He keeps on digging!
[deleted]: I mean there's no question that where I live, the United States, is a First World country. We invented the term. Switzerland has the GDP of like half of California. And no nukes.
Since you didn't take sides during the Cold War, you're third-world. Time doesn't change the geographical boundaries established when those definitions were created.
I mean yes, countries alligned with the West remained more economically prosperous over time, reason being they're capitalist and not soviet.
Sin317: What Is the First World?
"First world," a term developed during the Cold War in the 1950s, originally referred to a country that was aligned with the United States and other western nations in opposition to what was then the Soviet Union and its allies.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the term's meaning has largely evolved.

Currently, it describes a developed and industrialized country characterized by political and economic stability, democracy, the rule of law, a capitalist economy, and a high standard of living.

Lightbulbs, the internet, movies, airplanes, affordable cars, your capitalist economy, and the reason you're speaking English instead of German or Russian, for starters. You're welcome. thanks for the watches and chocolate.
>it was Russia that made Japan "capitulate".
lol. Source? Russia was a little busy on the Eastern Front. Are you talking about their [entry into the war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_War) after Hiroshima? Yeah they helped...at the last minute...but they were not responsible for Japan losing; they had a [nonagression pact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_Neutrality_Pact) through most of the war.
Won't get into the Eastern Front...basically Russia was French toast too without our help bombing Germany into submission. But whatever nonsense you want to believe I guess...
The more you know.
Sin317: The declaration of war of Russia was the major reason, Japan capitulated. If they didn't, Japan would have fought on for years to come.
And all the things you listed, you really think, nobody else would have come up with it? You must be quite delusional, lol.
[deleted]: >If they didn't, Japan would have fought on for years to come.
No, they just got nuked. There's your reason right there. Russia just took advantage of the situation to grab some territory like they always do (and only because they didn't have to worry about Germany anymore). They didn't fight Japan for the last 4 years of the war. Not saying they didn't speed things up, but not by much. The nukes changed everything; the writing was on the wall.
Maybe they could have, but they didn't. We did (right here in reality). Swiss cheese is alright.
The more you know.
Sin317: The fire bombings were way more deadly and they didn't do jack shit, either. The whole nuke made em surrender myth is just that, a myth.
Kept alive by brain dead Ultra patriotic Americans such as you, who simply keep saying the same garbage over and over...
[deleted]: >r. The whole nuke made em surrender myth is just that, a myth.
Source? You have yet to provide any sources for your rambling speculations.
Kept alive by literally hundreds of minutemen silos peppering the American Midwest. It's not some fantasy world we're living it.
The firebombings were definitely more of a factor than what Russia was doing at that time, which was literally jack shit, since they were neutral with Japan.
The nukes made them surrender right away as they realized the dawn of a new era of destruction; see the transcripts of the discussions of Japanese leadership. Also from Japan's surrender speech:
>Moreover, the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.
A myth huh? Where does Japan mention Russia in their surrender speech?
You're right their surrendering was inevitable. I've heard from a history teacher it was mainly a deterrent to Russia though. And it worked, for about 10 years.
Sin317: Nuclear weapons shocked Japan into surrendering at the end of World War II—except they didn’t. Japan surrendered because the Soviet Union entered the war. Japanese leaders said the bomb forced them to surrender because it was less embarrassing to say they had been defeated by a miracle weapon. Americans wanted to believe it, and the myth of nuclear weapons was born.
Look at the facts. The United States bombed 68 cities in the summer of 1945. If you graph the number of people killed in all 68 of those attacks, you imagine that Hiroshima is off the charts, because that’s the way it’s usually presented. In fact, Hiroshima is second. Tokyo, a conventional attack, is first in the number killed. If you graph the number of square miles destroyed, Hiroshima is sixth. If you graph the percentage of the city destroyed, Hiroshima is 17th.
Clearly, in terms of the end result—I’m not talking about the means, but in terms of the outcome of the attack—Hiroshima was not exceptional. It was not outside the parameters of attacks that had been going on all summer long. Hiroshima was not militarily decisive.
The Soviet Union’s declaration of war, on the other hand, fundamentally altered the strategic situation. Adding another great power to the war created insoluble military problems for Japan’s leaders. It might be possible to fight against one great power attacking from one direction, but anyone could see that Japan couldn’t defend against two great powers attacking from two different directions at once.
The Soviet declaration of war was decisive; Hiroshima was not.
After Hiroshima, soldiers were still dug in in the beaches. They were still ready to fight. They wanted to fight. There was one fewer city behind them, but they had been losing cities all summer long, at the rate of one every other day, on average. Hiroshima was not a decisive military event. The Soviet entry into the war was.
And they said this. Japan’s leaders identified the Soviet Union as the strategically decisive factor. In a meeting of the Supreme Council in June to discuss the war in general, policy, they said Soviet entry would determine the fate of the empire. Kawabe Toroshiro said, "The absolute maintenance of peace in our relations with the Soviet Union is one of the fundamental conditions for continuing the war."
Japan’s leaders said Hiroshima forced them to surrender because it made a terrific explanation for losing the war. But the facts show that Hiroshima did not force Japan to surrender.
If nuclear weapons are a religion, Hiroshima is the first miracle. What do we make of a religion when its miracles turn out to be false? Nuclear weapons shocked Japan into surrendering in World War II—except they didn’t.

[deleted]: Well I'll stick with the literal declaration of surrender by Japan, which says the nuclear bombs were the reason, not an opinion paper by some random student?
Sin317: There is general agreement that the bombing of Nagasaki did little in the way of changing the hearts and minds of the Japanese military. By blaming their surrender on the atomic bombs, Japan avoided the Soviet Union having a hand in the post-war reconstruction process. Japan was afraid that the Soviet Union might try to push a communist regime onto the country. It was also very convenient for the U.S. that Japan attributed their surrender to the atomic bombings.

I didn't really think anything of it but when I woke up my brain was doing brain things and was curious about what visual snow syndrome was so I googled to find out what it was. There are multiple symptoms and versions of it but visual snow syndrome is basically seeing tiny dots of "snow" in your vision or static covering your entire vision (there are other symptoms but I'm not going through them all here).
After watching a video of what this static looked like I realized that the static in my vision that I've seen my whole life wasn't normal and I had visual snow syndrome. I used to be able to ignore the static because I thought it was normal but now I'm constantly seeing it because im constantly thinking about it and it's very hard to concentrate on anything.
TL;DR after researching what visual snow syndrome is I realized I had it and now the static won't go away because I'm thinking about it.
scherster: My son discovered he had synesthesia in a similar way. He was watching a YouTube video, and the person started with, "you know how some people can see music?" That was when he realized everyone didn't see moving, colored shapes when they were listening to music.
I always thought he turned down the radio when he was driving to reduce the distraction. I just never realized it was so he could see the road better.
Emanreztunebniem: Lol seems to be a thing with synesthesia. I have time-space synesthesia, which means time is a visual concept in my head. Didn't know that was a thing until i went to a science slam with some friends and heard about it. Turned to my friend and asked "but doesn't everyone see time??" And he looked at me and asked "wait so this is legit??"
Significant-Newt-936: What does it look like, is it it front of you like Google glass? What exactly does seeing time mean?
Emanreztunebniem: I see time like i can see memories. So not really google glass like. It doesn't distract me or anything.
Now what it is that i see: Eg a year is more or less a giant cycle with NYE at the very bottom and then as we progress through the year we go counter clockwise. I then kind of see the circle from the perspective of where we are in the year. So at the moment i am kind of looking at the circle from the top left. (Not all months have equal length, and also months have colours.) If sb tells me a date, it gets a spacial association. Eg somebodys birthday might be in september so then at the bottom left of my "wheel" there's an association with that person.
Same thing happens with weeks and days. This is the way i organise my life, every event gets a space in my brain. For a while i had a pinboard where i arranged my week as i actually see it in my brain. Was fun for explaining it to people but i very quickly realised thatbi don't particularly benefit from it, as i literally have everything in my head. Stopped using it after a few weeks.
I hope that explanation was somewhat useful!
mehgcap: Good to meet a fellow time visualizer. My brain shows me a line of months, or days in a week, or hours in a day. Each one has a different color. When I think of a date, I remember the month name and the number of the day, but I also see it on this line of colored sections. For instance, thinking of any day in June makes me think of my line of months, focused on the blue that is June. It's not labeled or anything, just a colored section on the line. For whatever reason, some things share a color. July and Tuesday are the same color, as are August and Friday. Ten is also the color of June and Tuesday. The weirdest thing of all is I'm visually impaired, so my ability to even see colors is limited at best. Yet my brain decided to use colored squares as the way it wanted to represent days, months, and numbers. Brains are weird.

1659798505 | 1659843197 | t3_whqhw9 | t5_2to41 | 20,600 | welp-ultimatetifu: TIFU - Masturbated too vigorously and have now been admitted to the hospital for over a week
Alt Account for reasons..... Well, this didn't start today but continues 3 weeks later. Sitting in a hospital bed here, I figured I would write about it.
3 weeks ago, my wife was leaving for a weekend girls' trip, so I had the house to myself. Sometimes that's kinda nice. I get to chill, eat pizza, play video games, and ya know... Wank a bit. That weekend, I had been drinking, feeling awfully fresh, and thought about sitting down for a good-fashioned wank. But in my thinking, this would not be a typical wank. I would let this one ride out a bit and see how long I could keep edging myself since I had the time alone. Anyway, get toward finishing about an hour later, and I had the bright idea to bear down internally and clench to see if I could get a better orgasm. Well, this is where I am assuming my downfall came from. Finished, all was well, and I went to bed.
Woke up the following day to this massive pain in the lower shaft/root of the penis. Didn't think much of it and hoped it would go away and figured I just overdid it... As the days went by, the pain kept increasing, returning to my butthole and entire perineum. At this point, it hurt to get erect, and this was when it started to dawn on me what might have happened.
Finally, the pain outweighed the shame, and I figured I better do something because it was not getting better. I went to urgent care, where they took one look at me and told me I needed to go to the ER. I got to the ER, where they told me it was probably just lousy hemorrhoid, which is even more embarrassing now... They sent me home and told me to follow up with a specialist come Tuesday as Monday was booked.
Throughout the weekend, I ended up in the ER two more times, being in so much pain and unable to manage it on the Vicodin I was given. Underwent multiple CTs on each trip to the ER that weekend. On my last CT, it was noticed that it started to come back as abnormal. I had an odd inflamed colon.
Come Tuesday is the virtual specialist appointment with the Gastroenterologist. That call was reasonably quick as she told me I needed to come to ER right now and be admitted. Great..... I finally got admitted and had to undergo one last CT scan where they pushed contrast through an IV. This time, however, felt different and painful. I asked. While doing this, they missed the vein and flooded my arm with CT contrast which hurt immensely. I complained and was shrugged off until the following day when my arm was completely swollen and could not be moved. At this point, they had switched arms with the IV, and for whatever reason, each time they injected a new med, you could see my skin get more and more red outward from where the IV was placed. This happened several more times. 9 IV replacements in total and about 20 pokes as they can never find a vein. Each of these IVs had the same effect on my arm; each kept making the area red and swollen. Until they finally thought they should run some ultrasound tests, we were still waiting for pathology results from my colon. Come to find out, I now have significant blood clots up and down both arms, and it's becoming a bit of an emergency.
Today, I still sit on a hospital bed, admitted a week later with no chance of coming home anytime soon. Now with an IV sticking out of my neck into the main artery pumping me full with blood thinners and things to hopefully dissolve the blood clots. They determined that I also have an ischemic colon, which cut the blood flow to 30 CM of my intestinal tract. This seems to improve slowly while the medical staff is increasingly concerned about my blood clots situation.
I don't know where this goes from here, but damn I guess I F'd up....... This shit is scary.
TLDR. Vigorous orgasm turned into a 3-week painful ordeal, and I was admitted to the hospital, where I still sit.
Edit: Spelling Error.
Edit 2: Hey, thank you for all replies. This got a lot more traction than I thought it would. Laying a hospital bed at 3 feeling pretty defeated with no answers. I figured I would reach out to some arm chair experts on Reddit.. From a lot of people it sounds like these two issues may not be related but possibly have found an underlying condition. They did an ultrasound of my legs and Thank goodness there were no blood clots.
Edit 3:
Well, I figured I would add a little more context and update since I can't fall asleep. So far, almost all blood tests have returned negative or at least within range. 2 days ago, there was a unique name for it that I don't remember, but a partial colonoscopy. Not all the way up. They took a bunch of biopsies, and most have returned negative for whatever they are testing. We are still waiting on 1 result from Pathology, but I don't have much hope. I have been told we won't have it till at least Monday...I have been told that what they found leads them to believe that at least that issue looks more like an ischemic colon.
Most blood tests are coming back within range, but anything marking inflammation is pretty damn wrong. One test in particular that they have been paying more attention to is the C-Reactive protein. Mine has always been terrible, even when getting checked by my PCP before this as far back as 2 years ago. But I have always been told not to worry about it by my PCP. 0-5 is on the normal range, and mine hangs out between 150-200. My WBC is back within normal range again.
I have been put on heparin for the last couple of days to try and raise some APTT numbers.
When you see a doctor only once daily, it's pretty challenging to get information from anyone.
Edit 4: 8/10
I was discharged yesterday with not a whole lot of answers unfortunately. heavy pain killers and told to go home. . All my tests have come back negative... What i do know, is that have acute mesenteric ischemic Colitis... But we don't know why.
Since being in the hospital they discovered the DVT and superficial blood clots up and down both of my arms. The situation kinda just turned me into an emotional wreck. I am still in pain and can't move my arms at all otherwise I'm in excruciating pain. I now have to go to the clinic daily to get my blood drawn to get my INR levels for my blood thinners.
The part we don't know is...It doesn't sound like l caused this myself but I quite possibly had an underlying autoimmune health condition. I have been told I'm at extreme risk for an embolism, stroke or heart attack for the next 6 months.. Not something you want to hear when you're in your 30's.
I have a bunch of specialists that need to follow up, but our medical system is shit. Gastrologist, Hematologist, Rheumatologist and Oncology....
Nearest appointments or over a month from now I guess I wait and hopefully not die if things get worse. That's the plan. Not definitive ....but... It could have been the wank to save my life but feel like I'm not far enough out to say that yet to make that conclusion.
To all asking about what my wife had to say. The answer to that is nothing. She is the most supportive person I know . She was kind and just wanted to help and yes i told her everything, .....It shouldn't be shameful with your significant other if there is mutual trust and respect. Not everyone's sex drives are the same and that is ok. If you are all out there afraid to talk to your wife about your sex drive. It's time. It will only lead to better sex 100%.
Update - August 19th, 2022
I just came out of the rheumatologist. I 100% have an autoimmune disorder called an anti-phospholipid syndrome. It's caused by immune cells attacking your blood cells, causing blood clots. The autoimmune issue is also called lupus anticoagulant. ..... He thinks I have a high chance of having lupus. I took a ton more blood tests but won't hear back for over a week. The doctor is concerned about the C-Reactive protein, an inflammation marker. It's been high forever, but I have been told to ignore it by every doctor since. He said that's a good accurate indicator we have something wrong. I'm still in a massive amount of pain. I can't stand up easily. it feels like my bladder will fall off. It hurts badly. I am a bit of fall risk. I was twisted around and backward on the ground up the porch steps.
Gastro washed their hands of me yesterday as they don't think it's their issue. I will have a colonoscopy in the next 6-8 weeks.
Next week I see a urologist to find out why im in a lot of pain and go from there. That original penis pain and erection pain never went away during all of this...
Guess you could say "the wank" in question saved my life. I guess it was better for find out this way than having a pulmonary embolism.
I see a hematologist in mid-September who will eventually treat the blood clot disorder.
I'll be a blood thinner for the rest of my life.
PS, is this how I'm supposed to do updates or should I make a new post?
alice_op: >9 IV replacements in total and about 20 pokes as they can never find a vein. Each of these IVs had the same effect on my arm; each kept making the area red and swollen.

​
What on earth? Can any medical people explain -- were the clots there because of the failed IVs, or the misplaced CT contrast, or an unrelated reason? It sounds absolutely awful, hope your team get to the bottom of the issues soon and you have a safe recovery OP.
Kitzinger1: He might be undiagnosed Factor V or something similar. The ischemic bowel combined with the fact with the multiple IV fails along with the blood clotting are all signs he has a blood clotting disorder that needs to be ruled out. It wasn't that they were missing the veins it was that the veins were clotting rapidly.
I would bet if he reevaluates that there was multiple incidents in his life where he bumped himself or something like it and the pain was higher than normal or maybe he just thought that pain like that was normal. I bet when he got a cut, scrape, etc it also bled little or not as much as normal.
The disorder is really serious and places the person in a variety of life threatening situations one of which he is currently experiencing. It also puts him at a serious high risk of Pulmonary embolism which is almost always fatal.
He's probably going to go through a battery of tests and be placed on a blood thinner initially with close medical supervision. The objective is going to be to get him to a point where he is clotting like a normal person which might actually be difficult. If he has children they will also need to be genetically tested. Better to catch it early than later.
wat_da_ell: FVL causes venous thromboembolism. Colonic ischemic means there was arterial thrombosis.
Kitzinger1: The way I was thinking and I'm pretty sure the doctor is thinking the same. Gotta stabilize, treat, and provide a short term care plan before passing the buck to a provider for long term treatment care.
wat_da_ell: Huh?
Kitzinger1: That it is probably FVL. The hospital is in the process of treating and stabilizing and will provide a short term treatment plan that works for treating the current symptoms before referring to a long term care provider ( a specialist) who will begin the task of narrowing down a diagnosis and a long treatment regimen that works best for the patient.
The OP should understand that it will be vital to go to that referral and begin the process of a long term treatment plan. What the hospital does is broad strokes and what the referring doctor does is define and specialized.
What could also happen is the hospital brings in a specialist for the blood disorder and then continues to see him on an out patient basis post discharge. This though depends on if the OP is in a more rural / small to medium town setting or is in a city.
General consensus though is if you get discharged from the hospital you should really see the medical provider they referred you to.
wat_da_ell: You are definitely getting ahead of yourself here and I'm not sure you fully grasped what you are talking about. As I said, FVL wouldn't cause colonic ischemia so that doesn't fit. I wouldn't try to diagnose strangers online with so little information provided.
Kitzinger1: Not diagnosing. Gotta do lab work, testing, etc for a definitive diagnosis. A blood clot could definitely cause ischemia. Taken from he said this started with a bowel issue undiagnosed until it went ischemic. If it was a bowel obstruction they would have caught it. Then you have the multiple failed IV's to the point that they had to place a Central line. They don't do that unless they feel there is no other choice. He has a multitude of blood clots in both arms causing serious issues. Now, he is on something like a heparin drip or something similar.
Everything is pointing from his description to a clotting disorder but that is based on limited information without labs, medical history, or chart information. I hope he updates with the diagnosis to see how close I was or off I was.
wat_da_ell: I'm not sure if you have reading comprehension issues but again, FVL causes VENOUS thrombosis. Colonic ischemia is caused by ARTERIAL thrombosis. Are you able to understand the difference? I'm an internist and this doesn't really fit with FVL.
I'd stop trying to diagnose random strangers online without knowing what you're talking about because it just looks like you're trying to sound smart but missing the boat.
Kitzinger1: FVL also has other cofactors such as... which predisposes a person to?
wat_da_ell: What? You don't make any sense.
Kitzinger1: Hyperhomocysteinemia and heterzygous FVL are associated with arterial thrombosis.
wat_da_ell: You're clearly just googling things and posting the first result that comes up without understanding any of it. It's a little sad, man.
Kitzinger1: I have doubts that you are an intern at this point so I think we're square. If it was so easy to Google then you would have or should have known. Either way, my original statement stands. He should be tested for the FVL mutation.

So this happened back when I was still in high school so it’s been almost 8 years now, but I still think about this f up. (I think I’m in the right subreddit for this story, but if there’s a better sub for it let me know)
So I have the same first name and hair colour as a very hated political figure in my country at the time and I was bullied relentlessly for it, even adults took out their grievances with them on me (Sounds crazy that adults would also do this right? But I definitely wasn’t misunderstanding, they made it *VERY* clear why they hated me so much)
Anyway, after years of bullying, when I moved away and enrolled in a new school for yr10 I asked if I could use my middle name instead as a preemptive protective measure against the bullying. I was told that that political figure was no longer in the spotlight and that it was unlikely I’d be bullied for my name at this school, but I didn’t want to risk it so I begged them to just let me go by my middle name.
I should’ve just listened to them.
My first name was used multiple times on my first day by mistake and even tho I corrected my teachers the damage had been done and I ended up bringing more attention to myself than I would’ve if I’d just gone by my first name originally and I eventually explained it to my friends, only to be overheard and have it used as a joke against me.
TL;dr: I tried to avoid being bullied for my name and ended up making it worse.
AcrobaticSource3: Similar thing happened to me, there were two others with the same first name in my grade so I figured to make it easier, I would go by my middle name. But I wasn’t used to people calling me by my middle name, so when the teacher called on me, I never responded. So she had to say my first name and last name to get my attention, which drew attention to me
tearsofadream: In 5th grade I was 1 of three names closely alike,Dan,Danny,& Danniel.What joy.
MusicalllyInclined: Reminds me of when I worked at a preschool a few years ago and we had 3 Charlie's all in one class. We ended up calling them Charles, CharlieBoy, and CharlieGirl lol
Far-Hat3075: You could have had a few more Charlie's in there and call them Charlie, Chuck and Chuckie.
smurfcock: C-boy, Charlie 1, Charlie 2, Charlemagne, there's endless opportunities here
Far-Hat3075: Ah yes.
C-man
C-sizzle
Chuckeroo
Chakalaboom
smurfcock: Chuckeronie, Chuckles, Charlatan
kaedgi: Mindy, Susan, Brad, Asshat. Possibilities are endless

This morning when I woke up I decided to clean the matras since there were a couple of stains on it. Hoping it would be dry by the time we would go to bed.
It wasn't. So I decided to whip out my hair dryer and try to dry the wet spots as fast as possible. While I was doing this I noticed one of the spots started to smoke, thinking this was the same smoke that would come out of my hair when straightening it.
Well... It didn't stop smoking, I quickly ran to the kitchen, grabbed a cup of water and threw it over the matras, hearing a loud sizzle. I kept throwing cups of water on it just in case.
Afterwards I took of the protective layer to see a burn spot the size of my thumb (luckily not the big)
The smell is absolutely vile.
(Currently still sitting in the bedroom to check if the spot is getting hot or smokey again)
TLDR
by hoping to dry the bed, I had to wet it all over again.
Fit_Ad_7681: What was causing it to smoke?
marriage_cycling: Somehow my hairdryer caused it to burn
Fit_Ad_7681: How hot does a hairdryer get? I haven't used one in probably over 10 - 15 years, so I don't remember.
marriage_cycling: I barely ever use it myself since I hate loud noises, but I guess very hot

1659811377 | 1659892567 | t3_whv7f7 | t5_2to41 | 2,934 | SeasonTypical: TIFU by threatening to break up with my girlfriend if she does not quit vaping
I, (23M) Come from a family of heavy smokers. Almost everyone except me has been inhaling that poisonous gas everyday for generations, finishing a pack a day at times. And i have seen many family members suffer from the consequences of that situation. I have lost many loved ones due to lung cancer including BOTH my grandparents, one of my aunts, and Last year, my beloved father.
Everyone around me; My family, my friends and relatives have been smoking for ages and Will keep doing this shit till the day they die, but i have always resisted it. And after going through all of the shit that i have, I am very much disgusted by the idea of smoking.
But my dear girlfriend, (24F) has lately gotten into vaping. She knows how much i hate smoking -and smokers at that-, so she used to be careful with not doing it around me. But i have caught her doing it a couple times and i know she does it on a regular basis. She recently confessed to me that she has tried a cigarette from a friend, and i am very afraid that the woman i love would get into this horrible habit. So i have been admittedly pressuring her into quitting vaping. Even though she uses nicotine-free cartridges, i just think its a gateway drug to smoking.
She even started vaping around me for a small time period. At first it was a couple times, than it became a regular thing. So yesterday i told her that i would break up with her if she didnt quit vaping. I told her about the suffering i have experienced because of that stuff. But she wouldnt budge. We had a huge afterwards which opened up the topics of some of the fights we have been postponing on discussing. She stormed out of my apartment and we havent talked since. I dont know what to do right now.
TL:DR : i confronted my girlfriend about quitting vaping and we had a fight. I dont know if she is coming back
Edit1: thanks to everyone that has taken the time to answer. I had some alone time and had time to reconsider some things. I have found it that me and my now ex girlfriend are not compatible. She was not respecting my boundaries at all and i was not hers. I need some time alone with just myself. I dont know if she is involved in that feeling building up but thats what i need right now. Thanks again to everyone Who helped me clear my mind.
Edit2: i think a lot of People are missing the point here. Its not that i am some crazy controller bitch that wants to mess with his SO. She had just gotten into the habit, and i wanted her to leave it at that. She knew what i went through with my family, so she should at least have the courtesy to not do it around me??? I only made it a problem when she started vaping in front of me. I dont really care what she does in her time, as long as she does not make me inhale them too. I did a bad job specifying that detail so, my bad.
Edit3: i told her from the start of her saying she was vaping that it was a deal breaker for me. I was not trying to manipulate her by any means. I told her i would break up with her if vaping was more valuable to her than me, and i stood by my Word by doing so.
Yugseto: Just break up
_unsolicited_advisor: Sounds like they already did. He threatened (bluffed?) that he would break up with her if she didn't quit, she argued against it, & then left. Sounds like she chose vaping over him & the controlling behavior.
In any event, OP, sounds like you've realized that smoking is a deal breaker for you (it is for many), so I guess put that on your next dating profile
Edit - 2 words
aggrivatedllama131: Not really controlling ☠️ you wouldn't want your partner doing something you have past trouble with so why would vaping be any different
Rich_Editor8488: It’s ok to not want your partner to do something.
It’s ok to tell them that you can’t stay in the relationship with them.
It’s controlling to tell them that they must stop or else.
JimmyRedd: I really don't see much of a difference between
"I'm leaving you because you won't stop vaping"
And
"Stop vaping or I'll leave you"
Frankensteins_Poet: One is a choice that you are making for yourself
The other is a choice you're forcing on the other person, its a shitty thing to do. Just fuckin leave
Vitalis597: No...
It's not...
It's saying... "Here is the problem. This is what can be done to fix it. If you don't want to fix it, we split"
What is with you clowns and trying to make every guy who has boundaries out to be controlling abusive dicks?
It's like you just DON'T know what communication is. Holy fuck.
Frankensteins_Poet: He has expressed this makes him uncomfortable, she has shown she doesn't care. His response was then to Levy ultimatum, which in simple terms is a threat. You do not maintain healthy communication by threatening somebody. If you get to a point where you feel you need to threaten someone with the end of your relationship, you are at a point where you simply need to leave the relationship. Because that person is clearly shown that they don't care enough about your boundary to do anything about it.
Healthy communication is trying to find a compromise, trying to find middle ground, not demanding that they do as you say or you leave. The moment you give an ultimatum you have put an end to any and all possible communication
Vitalis597: If you legitimately see someone saying "If you continue to do this thing that you know I absolutely despise because it has killed SEVERAL of my loved ones, then I can't be with you" as a threat, then you're beyond reasoning with.
Frankensteins_Poet: It is a threat. No matter the reasoning, no matter the justification, stop doing this thing or I leave, is a threat. There is no possible way that can be seen as not a threat.
He's allowed to have these boundaries, she clearly doesn't respect them, it's time for him to leave, not hope the threat of losing their relationship suddenly makes her change
Vitalis597: So if a woman says "Stop beating me or I'm leaving you" is she threatening him, or is she setting boundaries that should not be crossed, should be respected, and anyone who tries calling her controlling is literally the entire fucking circus?
Frankensteins_Poet: Yes, that's a threat. I don't know how else to explain this to you, but literally any time you say something along the lines of "do this or I'll do this" that is a threat. Regardless of how justified it might be, Regardless of any other information, using that phrase by definition, is a threat. That is the proper grammatical classification of those words. Telling someone who has your loved one "let go of them or I'll scream" is a fuckin threat, no matter how perfectly justified it might be, it's still a threat, that's just the definition of the word threat.
And in both your example and mine, they serve one singular purpose, to shut down all communication, and give the person little to no option.
Not to mention that situation is even more stupid than this one, if someone is being beaten, they should fucking leave, not threaten to leave, not only is that fuckin stupid but is literally putting your life in danger if the person is obviously willing to physically harm you. I know it's just an example but holy shit if someone did that they'd have to be mentally incompetent and would probably be prompty murdered.
But more to your point, yes that's a perfectly valid boundary to have. But once it has been crossed, just fuckin leave, the relationship is over
Vitalis597: "And in both your example and mine, they serve one singular purpose, to shut down all communication, and give the person little to no option."
Implying that "stop beating me" is not an option.
​
Implying that "stop smoking" is not an option.
​
Go back to the trapeze. It's what you're best at.
Frankensteins_Poet: I genuinely don't know what trapeze is so you lost me there
Also it's almost like I said "little to no option" not "no option"
Also your example does literally nothing to refute my point that ultimatums do not exist in a healthy relationship. If you have to give someone an ultimatum not to put their hands on you, you are in an unhealthy relationship, and you will never be in a healthy relationship. You cannot be in a healthy relationship with someone who thinks it's okay to put their hands on you
Vitalis597: A Trapeze is the thing that gymnasts swing on.
​
I figured that was your specialty since you're so good at stretching.
Frankensteins_Poet: Yes I'm definitely the one stretching here
the_first_brovenger: You absolutely are, kiddo.

1659812223 | 1659962322 | t3_whvib9 | t5_2to41 | 112 | Jeffydaboiiii122: TIFU by taking my dog on a car trip
Me and my family, mum and 2 sisters took my dog from England to Czech we had a delay getting to France through the underground train about 3 hours of waiting in a car with basically no space to sit in.
Our dog a Pekingese named Neo, who was going to get a operation to enlarge his nostrils and help him breath better along with a checkup in Czech.
From England to France he was fine breathing fine and he had taken a pill this was around 8 AM and was to help him sleep.
From France to Belgium, which we go through to get to Germany, our dog was breathing worse and he was getting hotter and hotter for him.
We got to Belgium and his tongue was looking weird.
And he was breathing worse and worse.
About an hour in we stopped to give him another dose so that he can sleep. We took him outside to give him water and as we where giving him the crushed up pill in his water he died.
Me and my family are devastated we don't know how to deal with this we are all crying can anyone tell us what we can do to cope with it?
TL;DR I took my dog on a car trip gave him sleeping pills so that he could sleep and about halfway through the journey he died.
Edit 1: I made it to Czech and we buried Neo, thank you to everyone who commented, it helped a lot. Me and my family are slowly getting through this. Again, thank you.
Edit 2 : R.I.P Neo 2017-2022 Beautiful and loved Pekingese dog.
CloudiusWhite: Poor pup never had a chance. Drugging a dog with breathing problems because theyre unable to make a journey in the first place, multiple signs that things are not okay, and each time the signs are ignored. I'm finding it hard to sympathize for the OP here when this seems like it could have been noticed and stopped multiple times.
Also, I am as confused by the way the story talks about an underground train, but the TL;DR calls this a "car trip".
My advice to you OP would be to cope by learning from this, pay attention to warning signs, because it might not be your family pet next time, but your family.
ElHeim: About the train: could be that you don't know the mechanics of going by car from England to mainland Europe by car?
Hint: it involves crossing a significant body of water.
Edit: ok, it seems I was **too** sarcastic. With the hint I wanted to attract u/CloudiusWhite's attention to the ways there are to get a car with you across the Channel, which basically are either taking a ferry or a **train** (through the Channel Tunnel)
CloudiusWhite: Ferries I have heard of before, but until here the train thing is totally new to me, I don't think we have anything like it in the US.
ElHeim: Well... How old you are? The project was awarded in 1986 and the tunnel boring was finished by 1990 (to much international advertisement - I recall watching it on TV). It opened for service in 1994.
CloudiusWhite: Born in 88, but being from a state which mostly sits below sea level tunnels ate not super common to drive thru, much less the whole driving into a train and it taking you to your destination.
ElHeim: Nah, that was my point. You were too young when all of this was on the news.
Anyway, the shuttle service connects only both sides of the tunnel (Calais and Folkstone), you drive to/from those terminals.
At any rate, I imagine that the dog had to spend the trip in the car and this delay that OP mentions made it worse

1659814589 | 1659817362 | t3_whwcjh | t5_2to41 | 17 | Panicpanicpanicshit: TIFU by thinking I was dying thanks to covid
Full disclosure, this happened last night, but I was not in the right state of mind to tell this story until this morning. Also throwaway because this might be embarrassing enough to actually kill me.
My husband and I are at the tail end of a bout with covid, which hit us both pretty hard (coughing, aches, fever, digestive issues, the whole shebang). We're both still tired and have a cough, but are feeling a little closer to "nornal". To celebrate being near the end of this thing, and finally off medication for it, we decided to take some delta 8 and relax. We took our gummies and tincture in the early evening, husband cooked dinner, then we both decided to watch "Prey" and have a little ice cream (cookies and cream with some dark chocolate syrup). Movie was good, ice cream was delicious, and I'm definitely starting to feel myself getting a little silly. At this point, I decide to take a shower, which is always really nice when I'm in this state of mind.
Shower starts, there's a medium amount of steam that's loosening up some more gunk in my lungs, so I cough a little to bring it up and spit it near the shower drain. My brain immediately records that this does not look normal, it is clearly discolored, but as my mind is currently chasing butterflies on the moon, I don't notice what color it actually was. I feel a moment of panic when I realize there's a bit of pain after the cough, in my upper chest, so I start to vaguely worry that the mucus was discolored because of blood. Ok, this isn't good, but I'm aware of the fact that my judgement isn't exactly on the ball at the moment and tell myself to calm down and wait for another cough. My heartbeat is elevated at this point, but I'm ok, so I rinse and start conditioning my hair. A moment or two later, I feel another cough coming on.... ok, pay attention this time. I cough and feel more gunk, so I again spit it near the drain. Ohmygod, it's definitely discolored, and again I'm still not 100% sure what color it actually is, but my brain decides that it MUST be blood and that I'm completely fucked. The pain in my chest is obviously a tear, I'm bleeding, it's gonna go into my lungs unless I cough more and exacerbate the damage, I'm going to aspirate, I need to get out and go to the hospital, I JUST STARTED PUTTING CONDITIONER IN MY HAIR I CAN'T JUST GET OUT, they're gonna put me on a ventilator, etc.
I'm in full-on panic mode, so my heartbeat is now in overdrive, my vision is closing in, I can't breathe, I'm getting super dizzy (oh no, that's a covid symptom they tell you to go to the hospital for too, there's no way I'm getting out of this now). Still in the shower, I'm fully doubled over grasping the edges of the tub trying to get my control back. I rationalize with myself that, if there is an injury it's probably small and if I stop coughing, it'll be OK. Breathing slows down enough for me to stand up straight, whereupon I decide to continue my shower. Manage to clip my hair back to let my conditioner sit when I suddenly get so dizzy I almost fall over, which sends me back into panic mode, doubled over, not able to breathe.
At this point, all the adrenaline that's been dumped into my system alerts me of another imminent dump... Jesus christ, I'm in the shower and realize my bowels are not having it and that I need to get to the toilet imminently. Roughly attempt to stabilize myself enough to turn the shower off and walk very carefully over to the toilet. At this point, my husband comes to check on me (usually asks how my shower is going or to tell me a funny story or whatever) and I immediately tell him not to come into the bathroom. I feel another cough coming on and a wonderful ray of rationality comes through my covid-has-killed-me fog telling me to cough into a tissue and TRIPLE check that I'm coughing up blood. So I cough and spit and see right away that my sputum is discolored not from blood...but from my ice cream sundae. It's chocolate.
My panic almost completely evaporates, despite the fact that my equally high husband is now starting to freak out standing outside the bathroom wondering what's wrong with me. I start laughing and begin explaining, still wet from the shower, sitting on the toilet, product in my hair, while he contributes with "oh no!"s that are escalating in alarm. Thankfully, he figured out what was really going on with me well before I reached the punchline of my story/joke, which helped him calm down much more quickly than I did.
Shower proceeded eventually and we spent the night pretending none of it happened, although I think my husband might be a little worried about any future showers I undertake.
TLDR; Getting over covid, celebrated with drugs and ice cream, got in the shower and became convinced I was actively dying when, in fact, I should've just skipped dessert.
PavlovianNinja: This is possibly one of the best things I've ever read. I'm glad you are actually okay, but this is one hell of a story. Thank you for letting me read it.
Panicpanicpanicshit: Thank you! The shame was almost worth all the laughs.

1659815443 | 1659817230 | t3_whwn6y | t5_2to41 | 12 | bluemoon191: TIFU and lost my best friend
This fuck up happened a few days ago but I'm still really upset about it.
Back in December 2021 things were pretty rough for me, I always used to drink on the weekends but it had started getting more and more. One night I was on a chat website I visit and this person started chatting to me at 3am, I'm usually in bed at this time but was up for some reason. I started to fall apart due to drinking too much but this person told me to add them on WhatsApp.
We started talking and they helped me kick the drinking and we used to chat all day about everything, stuff that was bothering us ect ect. I visited them in London in march and we had a good time so I decided to visit again in July. I thought this went well too but I made a mistake in a park by the way I acted and it put my friend on edge (i patted my legs with my hands).
The actually fuck up only happened on Tuesday, we made plans to go to Brighton and I had booked train tickets and a hotel for the night in London. My friend then told me she didn't want to go basically because of what happened at the park. Instead of just accepting this I started to argue a bit and told her I planned to surprise her with some birthday money but would be keeping it for losses on train tickets. She said I should refund the birthday card and I said I would keep it for my sister and sent a picture of the card. After that she wished my good luck in life and blocked me.
I'm broken now, I'm not eating properly any more since I'm just not hungry and I don't know what I'm going to do. I have her address since I visited her place so as a last ditch attempt to say sorry I'm going to get flowers sent for her birthday.
​
TL;dr. I lost my only friend by being rude over a decision she made to cancel plans we made for a trip.
cynical-mage: Do not send her flowers! That will give off stalker vibes and make her feel unsafe in her own home. A letter, sure. Explain that you're sorry, and that you understand her decision. Say that you'll respect it and leave her alone from here on in, that you wish her well, and thank her for having pulled you out of the darkness. That way you've said your piece clearly (because you can take the time to draft a letter properly, get it right), you've given both of you closure so to speak, and then the ball is totally in her hands; space, permanent ending of the friendship, or the option of reaching out one day. It's her choice to make, and you may well have broken it, so give her that respect.
bluemoon191: Thank you for the advice.

1659819943 | 1659862488 | t3_why8xr | t5_2to41 | 12 | canichoosethislater: TIFU by saying yes
I(19F) have a boyfriend (19M). Our relationship is not in it’s best stage right now. I see him like once a month and I don’t feel loved enough. Idk if it’s just my insecurities or if it’s because he doesn’t give as much as I do.
A few minutes ago my ex texted me saying he’s outside my house and he’s passing by to say hi.
I went out and we talked for like 2 minutes. He asked if I’d like us to do something like go to a festival and I said yes. He said he’s gonna text me in the upcoming days.
I feel like I’m a disgusting cheater. I do not want to go out with him. Why did I even say yes? Why do I suck at saying no? It’s something I’ve struggled with for a long time. I know it’s probably because I was not allowed to say it as a kid… but that’s no excuse! I shouldn’t have said yes. I feel extremely guilty.
I don’t believe in friendship after relationship and I don’t think his intentions were pure.
I’m not gonna go out with him, there ain’t a way. But I feel like I already messed up. I messed up the moment I didn’t tell him to leave me alone.
I told my boyfriend that my ex passed by to say hi but I didn’t tell him about the other part.
TL;DR: I said yes to hanging out with my ex while I have a boyfriend.
FLTDI: Just text him that you changed your mind, thanks for the invite. And leave it at that.
shannwa: Literally the least intense response here
trollfysics: Simplicity is the spice of success.
Seriously this is the best answer though listen to this guy.

This actually happened about 30 minutes ago. Full disclosure, I’m a hotwife. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a type of open relationship.
I had a date with a guy, things went well and so I decided it was cool to give him a blow job in his truck. I have to send videos of stuff like that to my husband, so I had the guy take the video on his phone. I thought it would be so much hotter if he sent them directly to my husband instead of me doing it myself.
So after we’re done I ask him, “did you send those videos?” His face falls as he checks his phone and just keeps saying “oh I fucked up. I DEEPLY fucked up.”
Turns out he was also considering dating another woman, they hadn’t met yet but were trying to work out plans together. Yep, that’s who he sent my slutty, dick sucking videos to. Needless to say, he will not be going on a date with her. I feel terrible and really wish I’d have just taken the videos on my phone. The plus side though is they’re super hot.
Tl;dr: I let the guy I had a date with take bj videos. He accidentally sent them to a potential date.
weby113: 😂 that's his own fuck up. I feel bad that happened but also not your fault in the slightest
StephMess18: Eh I mean I get your point, but I ALWAYS take the videos on my phone to be extra careful. The ONE time I decide to let someone else do it, this happens.
JimmiRustle: Agree that it’s his own fuck up, but you should definitely let them record *on your device* for so many other reasons than just this one.

[removed]
xawlted: Holy shit there's a lot to unpack there but you should start with the beginning. Your brother sexually assaulted you when you were 15 and then continued to do it throughout your life. He took advantage of you. Being that that was 30 years ago and you built a life with your attacker it's extremely complicated now but none of that changes that in the original encounter your brother sexually assaulted you.
anonymousjucee: I mean age wise I could understand. But I fully consented. Have never forced me at all.
xawlted: Yeah age wise is the factor. At 15 regardless of how you might have seen it your brother took advantage of a position of trust he was in and assaulted you.
Sea_Repair6713: I don't see how he took advantage both were consenting
xawlted: Can't consent at 15
Sea_Repair6713: Both parties contested? I guess because he was older she was "taken advantage of" but bru he stayed with her till now both with a happy life together. If he left and didn't come back leaving her with the children then yeah ofc
xawlted: That doesn't change the fact that she was a child and unable to consent. At 15 you are not psychologically developed enough to truly understand and comprehend those decisions. Her brother took advantage of her trust and seduced her. It doesn't matter what he did after it. When he made the decision to seduce his sister he was deciding to sexually assault a child and that was what he did.
Edit: I just looked at your profile and I'm now seeing you are only 16 so are likely not capable of seeing how immature you are right now. In about 10 years it will make sense why a 15 year old can't consent but right now you are too close to it and obviously like all of us did think you know everything.
Sea_Repair6713: Yea I guess you're right both acted irrationally but both were children but isn't sexual assault both consented to it.

1659828755 | 1659857725 | t3_wi1dey | t5_2to41 | 2,567 | nickypoopoo69: TIFU by accidentally locking myself out of a room, causing a war and genocide
Obligatory “this happened ten years ago”. Just remembered this based off of something I saw on r/confessions, figured it was a story worth telling.
When I was 16, I had no standards when it came to living in messes. I was the only one remaining in my home full time, as my mom had moved in with my step-dad (strange, I know, but was awesome to have the place to myself at that age).
In my basement was a computer room with a desk that would block the door a bit from the inside if fully closed. In a moment of inspiration, I decided to clean the main room of the basement, moving all of the trash and recycling into the computer room in garbage bags. I didn’t rinse any of the numerous pop cans which would soon be massive colonies/mass graves.
I can’t remember what led to it, but I closed the computer room door from the outside, locking myself out with no way in due to the desk. Me, being an ignorant 16 year old, decided “whatever” and just went about my life, playing Xbox and smoking weed. The door was closed for at least a month, until I decided I wanted to play Age of Empires.
I tried to push the door open, but could only move it a small amount, just enough to see the horrors inside. Massive swarms of fruit flies had engulfed the small room, an infestation worthy of firebombing. Unable to get into the room, I began to panic, fearing the wrath of my mother if she were to find out. I needed a plan, and I needed one quick.
It took some time for me to find a way in, but luckily my stoner self had left the small window in the computer room unlocked so that I could blow my smoke out of it. With a pair of glasses, a bandana covering my face, and a hoodie to shield what was left uncovered, I climbed through the window, a can of AXE body spray and a lighter in my hand.
Flies were burnt out of the sky, flames engulfing tens to hundreds of them at a time, the survivors attempting to escape the fiery death that seared the air around them. Thousands perished in mere minutes, falling to the ground wingless. From the many cans, more flew out, only to join their brothers and sisters on the ground. Into each can I believed to be their homes, fire was sprayed directly into the openings, scorching those who remained, and those yet to live.
As the flames ceased, the door was unblocked, and the cleanup of the genocide began. The once empty cans felt as heavy as they were before opened, hundreds if not thousands of carcasses filling each one. With the war over and the room cleared, the desk was moved, never to block the door again.
My mother never found out about this, only my friends, who knew this event as “The War of The Fruit Flies”.
TLDR: got locked out of a room full of empty cans, had to burn thousands of fruit flies out of the sky with a can of AXE body spray.
SausageintheSky: The craziest part of all this is that you somehow didn't burn down your house. Using a makeshift flamethrower to commit mass fly genocide in a basement does not seem especially safe.
nickypoopoo69: Ngl I had the flamethrower hitting directly on the walls where the flies had landed. Thinking back on it yeah I absolutely should’ve started a fire. That would’ve been a lot worse than my mom finding out about the fruit flies lmfao
whatproblems: trying to imagine the new headline. kid dies engulfed in flames trapped in room with millions of dead flies
nickypoopoo69: Lmfao honestly would’ve been the best outcome based on how much of an idiot I was back then
Filthy_Kate: Honestly, your mom is the idiot here.
nickypoopoo69: Can I ask why?
Edit: She’s the strongest person I know, even with her faults and mistakes. I just don’t want anyone here to think her leaving makes her an idiot.
beerscotch: >Can I ask why?
Well..
>When I was 16, I had no standards when it came to living in messes. I was the only one remaining in my home full time, as my mom had moved in with my step-dad (strange, I know, but was awesome to have the place to myself at that age).
if your mum left you as a child, at home smoking drugs in a house so messy that a month of a room being closed meant a fruit fly infestation, and your level of mental maturity was that the best way to deal with it was to try and burn the house down / blow your hands off...
​
>I just don’t want anyone here to think her leaving makes her an idiot.
Perhaps it was better not to tell the internet that your mother prioritises dick over her children if you didn't want people to comment on how that might not make her mother of the year.
SuperBob6595: Ooo sassy. Trashing an internet strangers mom. Is my momma next?
beerscotch: How am I sassy, or trashing someones mum?
The person posted a story that makes their mum look horrible, when someone said "your mum is the idiot here", they asked why, I provided an answer.
You make it sound like I'm just unfairly ragging on someones mum when they're not involved in the situation at all. The dudes mum ran off for a month (more?) leaving a child at home to fend for themselves and the kid almost burnt the house down. Thats absolutely the mums fuck up, on account of the child not being of legal age to be left to fend for itself while mums out pretending she doesn't have kids.
Don't try bringing me down just because you're too fucking stupid to follow a conversation. That issue is entirely on your side of the screen friendo!
SuperBob6595: Nah bro you can’t say that you didn’t say “perhaps it was better to not tell the internet that your mom prioritizes dick over her children” without any malicious intent. Get outta here with that.
beerscotch: Who said I didn't say that? Of course I said that.
I said that, because not only is leaving your teenage kid at home for prolonged periods of time to look after themselves while you go shack up with a new romantic partner is a horrible thing to do... but it's also relevant as it's answering the question of why his mum was the idiot here.
Are you saying that leaving your children at home for weeks/months at a time while you go pursuing a new relationship and neglecting your children is an at all defensible thing to do?
Am I supposed to be kinder and more considerate when pointing out acts of child abuse so that I don't risk offending you?
Why does being blunt when it comes to commenting on acts of child abuse make me an "edgelord"?
nickypoopoo69: Again, never felt abused, just to make that clear. Her and I have a very positive relationship and she put me through college and supported me even when I failed. There is in no way, shape, or form any semblance of abuse in the life I’ve shared with my mother.
beerscotch: Again, I'm not commenting on how you or your mothers relationship is now, or whether or not you considered it abuse at the time.
Sure it may have been mostly fine for you. Sure things may be better now. Sure things may have worked out in the end. I hope it all has and I'm happy for you if so.
The simple fact is that, being a parent, who is legally responsible for a child, but leaving that child to fend for itself for at least a month (I'm assuming longer?), while you go off living your life, is a form of child abuse. The reason people said your mum was the idiot here, is because she shouldn't have left you to fend for yourself for so long at that age.
nickypoopoo69: You’re the only one pushing this hard about my mom being an idiot. There’s gotta be more important things to do, so focus your attention on them.
Bye bye!
beerscotch: How is replying to comments directed my way pushing hard? If you don't want to keep discussing with me, it's as simple as not replying, rather than trying to act like I'm harrassing you by replying to you.
nickypoopoo69: Bye bye, oh my my, my little frog

1659834641 | 1659864888 | t3_wi3ab8 | t5_2to41 | 7 | CurrentAssist: TIFU by talking to myself after seeing a spider
This happened a few days ago but I still feel a little bad.
So my girlfriend and I are staying at my Nans house to sit the place while she's on a cruise. My Nan lives a long way from where we are staying but my girlfriend wanted to come to my birth town and see what it's like.
My girlfriend has quite bad arachnophobia and will make me inspect rooms before she enters them if anything larger than a centimetre shows up.
We got home at about 5 one day and I went to the lounge to relax a bit when I hear her gasp loudly and call my name. By the time she called my name id already grabbed a glass and nearby letter and was moving to catch the offender.
I walked past her into the bathroom and I see a giant house spider chilling behind the toilet. The kind of house spider that fit neatly in my palm if i wanted to hold it. I pause and say "bloody hell" or something of that nature to myself before swiftly capturing it and walking through the lounge, past my now crying girlfriend, and threw it with all my might over the garden fence.
I immediately returned to my girlfriend and started comforting her, telling her its gone and she doesn't have to worry. After calming down a bit she admitted that the tears only started after id muttered to myself, reaffirming her that the spider was a large one.
I feel lucky that I'm not in the doghouse after this but I'll be damned if seeing her cry and hearing I had a part in it doesn't make me feel somewhat bad.
I also now have to inspect the bathroom for any illicit spider activity before she goes inside.
TLDR; gf saw a big spiderin bathroom, called me, I commented on its size, she started crying, I got rid of the spider, and am now on bathroom spider duty.
jphamlore: > My girlfriend has quite bad arachnophobia and will make me inspect rooms before she enters them if anything larger than a centimetre shows up
This phobia is impacting the lives of both your girlfriend and those around her such as you. Due to recent events it may be hard to find a therapist, but she needs one.

Thankfully they never noticed it.
Feeling-Ebb2910: Dude thats so creative😂👌👌
Lando7763: How did you collect and transport yours?
Here's what I did. Had a friend pee in a non-lubricated condom (has to be no lube, so you don't throw off the test.) From there, tie it off, and immediately place in your underwear, this way the temperature never drops. Once you make it to the collection bathroom, burst the condom into the sample cup. Voila!

1659837241 | 1659898524 | t3_wi43s8 | t5_2to41 | 591 | MINECRAFT-BEE7: TIFU by calling my girlfriend at 1 in the morning
Yesterday I just got off work and I was laying down in bed scrolling through my phone until I fall asleep. But just before I was about to sleep my girlfriend asks me “Hey, do you wanna call?” I didn’t mind it as the time was earlier than when I usually sleep anyway so I called her. During the whole time, she kept asking me questions like “Are you mad?” And “Why do you look angry?” but I guess she didn’t think I was falling asleep. Her, being energetic as usual, starts talking about her day and rambling on about the smallest things like why her friends hate me and how she doesn’t get why her one friend is friends with everyone because my girlfriend only has 7 close friends and her friend has 20 (numbers are exaggerated but you get the point) so while she was talking about that, I blink and then the next thing I know is she’s talking about how she went to her friends house at 9 to make cake and hangout. And when she’s finished, she says in a angry tone “I’m going to bed” and I was also going to go to bed (side note, I said before the call “I’m a little bit tired so I can’t call long”)
So then this morning as usual, I text her good morning and the occasional “How are you” message. She didn’t reply. She usually gets up at noon so I didn’t bother. At 4pm, she still hasn’t answered. And she only does this when she’s mad at me. So i tell my 1 other friend that she hasn’t talked to me all day and the response I get is “I know. You were being a dick and not paying attention to what she was saying”. I respond saying I was trying to listen but I was too tired from work and then I get the “Are you gonna be a man and apologize?” Text. I was fuming at this point. The same thing happens every month with a new excuse and I’m expected to apologize for something I’m not in control over. When I apologize, I’ll get a long message threatening our relationship over a small reason. I just want to leave I feel trapped because she says she’ll kill herself if I dump her. What do I do?
TL;DR I was tired when calling my girlfriend at 1am and she blames me for not paying attention to her because I was falling asleep
Edit: So I ended the relationship and she responded like she didn’t care at all. I don’t know what to say

Just finished a relaxing brunch with my partner and two kids aged 3 and 1. The Cafe we are eating at is in a busy resort town and is packed with people eating and shopping.
My 3 year olddaughter, although mostly an angel, can have her moments of being a total shit. We get up to leave and we make eye contact, giving me that michevious look that shes given me hundreds of times before at this point. I return by giving her a look of "don't even think about it" coz I know she's going to run, and she obliges.
My heart skips a beat as I see her run about 5 paces, dart between 2 parked cars, running out into the busy road. I haven't had this happen to me much in my life, but instinct takes over and I YELL my daughters name at the top of my voice. I'm not an overly intimidating guy, but one of my yells can be bloody loud, but I never do it in anger and especially not to my daughter.
My daughter stops in her tracks right as she was about to run into the road. I'm so relieved, although she looks terrified. I also at that point realize that I just yelled infront of the whole street and I turn round to see EVERYONE looking at me. People literally have forks raised to their mouths ready to eat and are just wide mouthed looking at me. No one makes a sound and I turn away embarrassed feeling everyone's eyes on me like I'm some kind of psycho.
The irony is, if I didn't yell my daughter runs into the road and I don't even want to think about that.
TL;DR: Thought my daughter was about to run into oncoming traffic and yell and the top of my lungs in a busy street causing every single person to stop and stare at me like I'm the village psycho.
Thud2: Your daughter was running into traffic and you yelled. I don't get the TIFU part.
tomandkate1: Yeah I know what you mean. When I got over the shock of what happened I knew I did the right thing. It was just the weird feeling of shocking everyone in tne street!
Thud2: Sorry to be critical but I am having the day from hell that you cannot even imagine. Seriously critical meltdown. Reading this was grating. Sorry again.
tomandkate1: No problem. Sorry to hear your day is bad and I hope it gets better soon.
Thud2: Thanks. A cheerful word at this time means a lot. Glad your daughter is safe.

2 years ago I betrayed my ex
Throwaway account for obvious reasons..
So about 2 years ago, I [22M] made a terrible decision. I dated my ex in 2019 and we broke up in early 2022. Everything was going great, we were having fun everyday, doing what young adults do. Then I decided to make a huge mistake that I completely regret. One day, I got tired of my ex and everything that was going on. (Spending a lot of money on clothes and materialistic stuff) if I had a problem with it, I should have just ended things instead of letting it ride out for so long. But basically what happened was, one day, i decided to look at her friends Instagram page, one thing let to another and I decided to do some regretful stuff to their photos, I didn’t publish them or photoshop them, I just couldn’t control myself. Maybe it’s because I haven’t experienced life fully, who knows. Maybe I’m just a creep. I’m just admitting it to the internet so I can get over it and get over the shame of what I did. I want to change and be better. Say whatever you want to, it will make me realize what I did and the severity of it. If you have any advice for me, I’d greatly appreciate it. Idk what I’m doing anymore and I feel like I need to get this off my chest.
Hope everyone had an amazing Saturday.
TL;DR: I jerked off to my ex gfs friends pictures and she found out then left me
macabre_irony: and she found out because...you told her?
throwaway242516: Nah she saw my search results
macabre_irony: so you go from she saw your search results to *"a-ha! I know you jerked off to my friend!"*....it doesn't make much sense my man
throwaway242516: How does that not make sense
macabre_irony: So if she saw you had searched for Tucker Carlson, she'd be right to assume you jerked off to him?
throwaway242516: Why would I do that to him

1659849982 | 1659858792 | t3_wi7yn3 | t5_2to41 | 114 | AnneHarv: TIFU by telling my friend that I was avoiding her texts where she talks about a party I wasn’t invited to
I know it might be childish not wanting to hear about it but I mean it’s been a bad day and the party is going to be thrown by someone I considered a friend.
No hard feelings, just didn’t really want to hear about it since it’s generally been a bad day.
My best friend though, got invited and I was happy for her. She was talking about the gc how they made a playlist where you could add songs they’d be listening to and honestly I was being kind of dry.
I really hate doing that but it was a long day, and i didn’t want to go to bed without answering her messages since I don’t want her to feel like im ignoring her.
Messages go by until the part where they began making people chat admins so they could add friends and the friends could go to the party.
My friend told me about it and then said that she was sorry but she wasn’t going to ask for admin just so she could add me. It’s fine, by that point i didn’t feel like i wanted to go anyways but the talk made me uncomfortable so I said, “it still hurts tho (not being invited) so like lets just avoid talking abt it until you go”
Followed by;
“cuz ive kinda been avoiding ur msgs no offense 😭 i have a little too much baggage on my own rn”
She said okay and the conversation turned a little heated afterwards between me telling her that besides it being a bad day, I was worried about us not working out as a friendship since shes switching schools and her and my schedule might make it hard for us to hang out or even talk on the phone (stuff I’ve been overthinking for a lot that kind of came out in the heat of the moment).
She said that I say we’re too busy to talk but then I have moments like those where I’m ignoring her texts and being dry.
It was back and forth kind of like trying to explain myself when I knew there was no way to explain myself and well, long story short she’s hurt and I don’t know how to fix this.
Last thing I told her was;
“Its just complicated to put into words how I feel. Like in moments like this. And like I don’t want to say something out of line or that will hurt you,”
And last thing she said was;
“You already did so don’t even worry about that”
After that I could only say sorry because I really have no idea what to say.
I don’t want to lose her, she’s my best friend.
tldr; my friend is hurt because I told her I’ve been avoiding the messages she’s sending me about a party I wasn’t invited to.
phoeniks: *She's* hurt? She's hurt because you expressed how you were hurt, firstly by not being invited and secondly by her not requesting admin to invite you, thirdly by her not accepting that the situation was painful, fourth by her not talking through your worries about the future but instead blaming you by ignoring *why* you were avoiding her messages about the party.
She sounds selfish and self-absorbed and quite uncaring about how you feel.
DoctorStrangeMD: This. She’s being self centered. Either she feels a bit of guilt for not supporting you in anyway, or she’s so self absorbed she doesn’t care about your feelings.
In either way, that’s not good.
I’d either Try to have another open talk and see if she can even see your side of the situation. If she can’t see why it’s hurtful to you, there’s no point in being friends with her.
liitle-mouse-lion: They're both self centered

dadarkgtprince: You should tell your friend about her proposition. That's a shit thing to do if she has a bf but is asking other dudes to sneak in
AngelGrazia: Little bit of a nuclear option. I see where you're coming from but this situation is very delicate and we're obviously missing a lot of context.
From the limited information we have I'd think the best course of action would be to talk to her about it. Sympathize with the fact she hasn't gotten what she needs from her boyfriend, and that she needs to talk to him about that. Explain that while op likes her (no need to explain how long) they can't do that again (if the request was accepted) in good conscience. And messy as it's likely to be the best thing would be for both of and the gf to talk with the friend/SO as calm as possible CLEARLY explain what happened without downplaying it and that they're truly sorry for betraying that friendship/relationship.
dadarkgtprince: It's definitely a messy situation. I would choose the buddy over the girl though. While i may have a crush on her, the buddy would've been there while i was just pining over her. Also, if she was willing to give me the option, who knows who else she's given that option to. Definitely wouldn't want to see buddy get hurt.
Realistically, someone is going to get hurt overall, maybe not now but at some point. Definitely would not want to be in this situation

1659851021 | 1659884824 | t3_wi895z | t5_2to41 | 376 | jayabhat: TIFU by binging KDrama and loosing my eyesight
Obligatory disclaimer, I'm second language learner and on mobile. Kindly excuse for any mistakes.
I spent the whole day yesterday binging a Kdrama. Didn't sleep much, woke up very groggy and sleep deprived today. Wore my specs, rushed to the toilet with my eyes closed. As I was drowsing on the toilet bowl, I realised I was seeing everything suspiciously blurry. Queue, an impromptu eye test. My right eye was working fine, left eye wasn't!
Few months back my cousin got his cataract operated at the age of 35. I really freaked out thinking I developed cataract in my eye overnight. I'm a few days short of thirty and have cataract! What could be more embarrassing?
Vigorously rubbed my eyes with lots of water and saw some improvement. So, it probably wasn't cataract but too much eye strain due to watching the Kdrama. I thought a little sleep and keeping my eyes closed as much as possible would bring my eye sight back. But alas! I lost my eyesight again as I came out of the toilet.
At this point I had to break the bad news of my sudden partial blindness to my husband and probably plan a trip to doctor. Once I told my husband, he suggested there might be some dirt on the left lense. That sounded like a more plausible cause. So, I took the spectacle off to clean it. Lo and behold, there is no lense in the left side.
I vaguely remember dropping my spec from bed while taking a turn in the mid of the night, that is when one of the lense came off. Basically I was seeing through only right lense and mistook my natural eye sight for partial blindness. Found the lense on the floor, fitted it on the frame and I am back to my usual morning grumpiness with an acceptable range of eyesight.
TLDR: Thought i developed cataract or harmed eyes by watching Kdrama. Discovered I lost the lense from the left side of the spectacle.
127peter: Sorry, funny but I don’t believe you.
jayabhat: Why?
127peter: The sequence of events and thinking you had your lens on you specs. I would check the lenses to see if they were clear. Sorry just seems like an elaborate sketch. Apologies if I’m wrong.
jayabhat: Dropping my spectacles from the bed is a daily occurrence. This is the first time the lense came off of the spec. So it didn't come to my mind at all.
127peter: Ok the then. Glad you can see
jayabhat: Me too!

1659853560 | 1659861341 | t3_wi8xhn | t5_2to41 | 381 | l-sou23: TIFU by going to my best friend's bridal shower
I've known my (20f) best friend (20f) for almost seven years, now. She was one of my first friends when I moved from my childhood home to Southern California, so we were really close for a long time. We'd always talk to each other about what we were going through and spend time crafting or going to coffee shops together, and after our other two friends moved away she's the only other friend I've known for this long. I never had long-term friends, growing up, and everyone I knew from before I moved hasn't stayed in touch with me.
Now, my best friend is getting married in December. I've met the guy and spent some time around some of her other friends, and they're all great people. But then the wedding planning started and I had a secret hope that I'd be one of her bridesmaids. That didn't end up happening, but I'm going to run the coffee bar at her wedding so I guess that's a bonus (I'm a barista so I know how to make a lot of drinks). I went to her bridal shower today, but I knew almost no one there, aside from her mom, her SIL, and her cousin.
As she was opening all her gifts I started to feel a bit of jealousy and hurt; I'm jealous that she's getting her dream life and I'm still waiting for mine to come true, and I feel guilty that I feel this way because I know I shouldn't be. I'm truly happy for her, and I was there for her when she texted me about how scared she was that she wasn't going to get the life she wanted, so seeing all of this now makes me so happy for her. But I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on the life I've always wanted.
I hate feeling like this and I almost regret going. I haven't told anyone I feel this way, not even my mom (who I'm close with) and I had to get this off my chest.
TL;DR - I went to my best friend's bridal shower but now I'm jealous and I feel guilty about it.
kalysti: What you feel is common and normal, and if you didn't act it out, you have nothing to be ashamed about. It is a very normal reaction, especially at your age, and especially when it involves a relationship that may not be as close as it once was.
Having relationships change, a lot, is a common and difficult part of the late teens and the early twenties, but it happens throughout our lives. It's always sad, and usually one person is just moving on in a natural way, but the other isn't quite ready for the change. It's no shame to be either person.
You have a whole life ahead of you, Although you feel these things now, you may feel very differently in a few years, depending on how things go for her.
Again, what you feel is natural, normal, and it sounds like you are behaving well towards your friend and doing a good job of reminding yourself why you are there. I'd say you were being pretty mature around it all for someone your age.
Best of luck to you.
l-sou23: Thank you... I actually started crying as I read that. I wasn't sure if I was blowing everything out of perspective or not (and that might be me gaslighting myself a bit) and I've just tried to ignore it, but as I was watching her today I couldn't help but feel jealous. Hearing someone else (even if it is a complete stranger) say that I'm not in the wrong or abnormal is a relief. I haven't had it easy over the last few years so feeling like this just felt like icing on the cake, but I guess I'm going through the "normal" part of life now haha.
DowDoverDoi: Stay pure please
l-sou23: I wish I could say I am pure but honestly... I really doubt that I am.
DowDoverDoi: Purity is measured in ability to recognise impurities

[removed]
JeevesAI: Made up story. There is no “spaceship v mars shooter game” python tutorial on YouTube because you wouldn’t write it in python to begin with.
Why do people lie on the internet for points.
megaviral: He didn't say the tutorial was specific to the game his brother made. Why are you jealous?
_no_one_knows_me_11: because its impossible to learn coding enough to make a game on literally the first day, this story is 100% made up
megaviral: Maybe for you but 1) we don't know how basic it is and 2) there's tons of already written code that people can plop into their program
Never underestimate what kids can do if they're passionate
_no_one_knows_me_11: you can be the most passionate kid in the world but coding isnt something that happens overnight. and the name of the game "spaceship vs mars" doesnt sound basic to me, you simply cant make basic games on day 1 without previous coding knowledge from other languages, which isnt the case here either.
>there's tons of already written code that people can plop into their program
then his brother didnt code a game, he simply copied it, and i think anyone can do that, but the story is kinda implying the brother did it himself, which just cant be possible
megaviral: Doesn't mean he copied the whole thing but maybe parts he needed.
Or maybe all the code he did was basic and inefficient we don't know how the game looks. It could look like the original space invaders.
Do you actually code? It's really not that hard. A lot of it is just trying what other people said already works. I don't doubt a kid with passion managed to do a basic space game with no sleep in one night.
Honestly if he copied the GUI parts and did simple for loops for the actual game thats not impossible to do at 13. You just sound insecure tbh
_no_one_knows_me_11: i can see it being doable in one night sure, but not on the first night, never
>Do you actually code
i am not really a genius in coding or anything, i just know html and currently learning python, i dont even know how you could make a space invaders game on python, i would think that would need C++ probably
megaviral: If you can make it in assembly surely you can make it in python
_no_one_knows_me_11: maybe yeah, but never on the first night
megaviral: Everyone learns on different places. Kids are especially fast at it
_no_one_knows_me_11: kids are good learners and all, i get it. they can do anything they want if they are dedicated to it. i get it. but, theres steps to learning a programming language, people here have mentioned it took them 6months to make their first game and such, even someone in my family made their first game on C++ after 3 days of learning C++, and they had knowledge of other programming languages. and the game wasnt even really anything, it was just a really, really basic game. i dont think i can even imagine calling a game of that basic level "spaceship vs mars" or whatever. and this genius kid here in the story apparently made a game and "files of code" on his first night without previous coding knowledge apparently.
megaviral: You can call a game whatever you want that doesn't have any reflection on how complicated it is.
_no_one_knows_me_11: "files of code"
you dont get the point, at all, i already said its literally impossible to make the most basic game of all time on the first night of coding.
and the game i was talking about, the one that my family member made, was just a choice game where you would pick a set number of sticks and the bot would pick next and the one having the last stick loses, and it was designed so that the human always loses.
what's my point? the point is that i wouldnt call a game of that basic level "spaceship vs mars" and nor would anyone else. i would call the game based on what it is, just like any normal person
megaviral: You're over thinking this
The_Merciless_Potato: Dude, _you_ are overthinking this. People who lie on Reddit for karma are wayyy more common than 13 year old coding geniuses that proceed to make a game (simple or not) literally overnight after setting their eyes on a programming language for the first time in their lives.
megaviral: Face it my guy. Kids are getting more and more capable each generation.

To set the scene: I’m on a first date with the most lovely human.
Some background on my dating history, I’ve lost all confidence on dates I’m convinced the other person will always dip out when they got to the bathroom, so I’m nervous at this point.
The date itself is going well! We’re happy and chatty just not as much as online. He decided to use the loo and my fear kicked in. As he left I looked up and just randomly smiled at this woman at the bar (thinking nothing of it). Well she keeps turning at looking at me, smiling but it’s a bit weird after the first minute.
Moments later these three women appear at my table and happen to know my name and my dead parent …
My poor date does in fact return to the table to me and three middle aged women crying our eyes out. The fuck up you ask, he didn’t know about the parent. The poor man was subjected to an hour of free drinks while they just cried and kissed me.
Not sure how to ask about a second date now …
tldr: smiled at my dead parents mates and ended up crying on my first date
sweetdropx: What was that ?
Correct_Woodpecker_4: For background info, mum passed away 8 years ago and I’ve never been close to the rest of the family. So it’s not something that typically happens

jello-kittu: A lot of people talk shit about their ex when they break up. It's dumb but it's a way to break off habits of thinking. Social media just takes it another step of advertising what started off as a childish behavior.
Sometimes being apart breaks a relationship. Your actions weren't why the relationship ended. Trash talk is stupid.
Find a better way to deal with stress. Hiking, running. I'm saying exercise because that's what works for me, like a brain reset. Art or something you really focus on works also.

1659871754 | 1659872403 | t3_widkll | t5_2to41 | 4 | SaltAsAService: TIFU by buying an apartment
So this happened yesterday, but I only realised how much I FU today.
I moved away from my hometown a few years ago to live with my partner in her hometown whilst her parents were sick. Well last year they both passed away and we made the choice to move to my hometown as it was where we met (our uni city) and would be a fresh start following the losses. I work remotely and she is unemployed at the moment, so where we live doesn't really matter, but this town felt like the right call.
We stressed ourselves out running back and forth between the two city's, to look at flats (apartments for the Americans) as we don't have a place in the city to stay the night so we had to travel 3hrs each way for each viewing. Well in the UK recently the housing market has been a bit mad and we've been fighting people like crazy to get a place and had 2 offers rejected as people have put 10-20% over the asking price and boxed us out from places we thought we could afford.
So when we found this flat, we saw some potential in it and managed to put in an offer and have it accepted a few months ago and we finally collected the keys yesterday. I opened the front door and immediately started regretting the purchase. It's smaller than I remembered it being, but that's okay, we were hoping to do a little work to it, so I tried not to panic, but then we spent the night and this is where I knew I FU. It's not particularly hot at the moment outside but this place is a furnace. I couldn't sleep from being too hot. I checked all the radiators and they're all turned off but it's boiling (we don't have AC in our homes in the UK). I tried opening the windows but there's a pub on one side making noise and neighbors on the other that were partying until 5am. It was constant unending noise. I don't want to look like an AH and complain to my neighbours day one of moving in but I now don't know what to do. It's so loud and hot here that I can't picture myself being able to live here comfortably anymore and I want to bail on the whole place. I wish it was like a normal practice to be able to spend the night living somewhere before you bought it.
TL;DR - I bought a new flat and it's so hot and really loud at night that I can't sleep here and I would do anything to undo this purchase but I'm stuck with it now
ShhhHesWatchingUs: While the market is high, perhaps sell and rent for a period of time. It will give you time in the city to look for an area youd like and can afford, plus this lesson will ensure you do some further research on potential future purchases.
Things like driving past during peak hour to see what the commute is like, or weekends to see if neighbours are generally a rowdy lot or not.
Ideally give it a month or so to get a general feel for the area, neighbours could have had a one-off party, the biggest thing for me would be the nearby pub and the hours it operates and foot traffic by your house.
SaltAsAService: It's a busy area, so we expected some noise, but thought that would end at 1am when the pub closes. Didn't expect the windows to let in as much noise as they do here and the biggest pain point is that trying to create a draft made the noise worse.
It's also a leasehold with a stipulation that we can't rent it out, so that's unfortunately a no go for us

Hey guys, this happened this morning when i woke up and decided to have sex with my girlfriend, little did i know this was gonna go wrong way. So we were into it for about 20 minutes when i heard a little pop however i decided to ignore it and carried on going until i finished inside her (i thought the condom was fine) i took it out and saw only half of the condom on my penis and my cum dripping from inside her, what do i do now as i literally have no clue and my girlfriend is stresses. She can’t take another morning after pill as she took two already this month so taking another one would mess up her menstrual cycle, also having a kid is also not a choice as we’re not ready for it and cant afford it. what do i do? do i just go with it and tell her parents or is there something else we can do? Please help im panicking.
TLDR - had sex with my girlfriend condom broke i finished inside her she can’t take a pill.
update - typo as im on a phone, sorry guys.
raven080068: Yeah you'd definitely feel a difference. So there's no way you "didn't know"
ResolutionUnited9937: well yeah but i was just way into it thats why i posted it in TIFU cause i was just being stupid i guess

SyrenaLuna: If your girlfriend took 2 pills already, just from that, ur doing it wrong... I think it's better having her mess her menstrual cycle than having a baby.
You could always wait for the result but I think it's better take another pill or talking with a health professional.
ResolutionUnited9937: thanks! well im a bit new at all this sex stuff so any advice would be brilliant
SyrenaLuna: There is no shame in asking for help from others and from health professionals!
Even if you get ashamed by it or the people don't treat you well or dont answer to your concerns you should not stop asking for help just look it elsewhere.
ResolutionUnited9937: thank you! my first thought was to go on reddit and see what everyone else thinks, cause maybe someone had the same experience:)

1659874732 | 1659909685 | t3_wiefj9 | t5_2to41 | 91 | ConfidentDiver3610: TIFU By cycling away from the cops.
Hi guys, events take place in baguette land.
Partied last night, slept at my friend's got out of the house and a police car asked me what I was smoking and ordered me to stop. It was weed, I had 1 or 2g in my backpack. Here where my fuck up starts.
So I had been arrested in the past for the same reasons and in France, weed is illegal. Like gotojail if you're caught twice type of illegal (nowadays it is different but I didn't know that)
So my dumbass who slept 4 hours, hangover(ed?) thought : "oh fuck, not again, why all the hassle with procedures and stuff when I can just run away throw my little bags o' weed and stay free got to my family lunch and then chill on a Sunday high as fuck"
So the chase begin, i go fast then stop and half turn, car stops. 2 cops chasing me by foot. I make them run. Acceleration is harsh but then they'overwhelmed with the mighty power of the bike, they can't touch this im far away and cant see them. They must be back in the car. I see a bin, stops to attempt to throw away my stuff. I see their vehicle at the very end of the street. Run away again. Fi ally the chase end when they decide to drive into me by bumping the rear wheel of my bike. I'm slammed onto a big block of concrete. My leg hurts I hit my head but slightly. I feel some liquid on my leg, thought it was blood at first but it was just an exploded beer can. So I explained them why I ran away and they seem flabbergasted... since I dunno when, having weed costs you just a fine like 150 euros fine...
I'm gutted.
Tl,dr: ran away from the cops cause I had weed and thought I might end up in jail. Got yeeted into concrete by a police car for trying to avoid a 150e fine...
Ps: two things: health wise I'm pretty much ok but ankle in super big pain. Had some scans 10 minutes ago, might be broken. I hope not .
And second thing which is pretty comical or rather incongruous (hope it's the right word ^^)
I got robbed two days ago and my personal vehicle has been stolen (slept with a window opened on first floor for the first time because of the heat. A burglar climbed my wall and came in my flat while I was sleeping, stole my Bluetooth speaker, credit card and the keys of my car. Then stole the car) .
Well guess what, they found my vehicle, and I had some Intel about it beforehand thanks to the arrestation.
Guess I'm a secret agent in the end. I'll seek a spy career once I'm healed.
Thanks for reading. One of my firsts posts on here. Thought I'd share. Never run away from the cops of you haven't done some crazy ass shit is the lesson I've learned. Who cares about 2g of weed lol.
Stay safe y'all
gladtrashbag: Bruh you would go to prison where i live in Idaho hahahaha for a long time.
AcrobaticSource3: How’s everything in Idaho?
gladtrashbag: Super super illegal. You can get a manslaughter charge for wax. I’ve had friends in Jail for months just for having some bud residue in a bag
Alberta_Flyfisher: That's just fucked up.
Even when it was "super illegal" here all that meant was the cop was going to take your bud away and take it home.
Unless you were dealing or violent etc... the chances of being charged with anything (canabis related) were pretty small.
Hell I had a cop one time tell me to either put it out or go somewhere more discrete outside a concert once. Sure wasn't legal 20 years ago, but even then the cops barely cared about it.
One day those draconian laws will go away.

steampunkMechElves: I nearly stabbed my dad in the kidney when I was thirteen or fourteen and he hit my mom. If he hadn't jumped back, I'd've stuck a Solingen antler-handled hunting knife deep inside his lower back. He probably would have bled out right there in the bedroom.
I don't think this was your fault.

1659880419 | 1659898440 | t3_wig9cm | t5_2to41 | 192 | Fractured-disk: TIFU by messing around with my old stuff while I was cleaning
So when I was about 15 (now I’m 22) I was convinced I didn’t have any anxiety issues even though my mom said maybe I should get tested.
Because I am a Meticulous person I decided the way to prove her wrong I got this little clicker thing and I kept track of how often I had an anxious thought during the day, I kept a journal and everything. I even decided to start writing what made me have the thought etc.
It ended up being like 20 thoughts a day on a good day (bad days were upwards of 40).
My initial plan had been to keep up with it for a year to see if the season would have an effect since I started in winter but by the five month mark I realized that maybe this is an Issue!
So I go get tested start therapy (my therapist was pretty happy with my journal and I’ve kinda kept up with it as a way to relax my anxious thoughts) and meds and I put away my clicker and don’t think about it, heck I even forgot about it.
Fast forward to today I was cleaning out my old room so I could decide what to take to my new apartment and what to throw out and I come across a little clicker.
I had this moment of “what is this” before realizing “oooh it’s the thing I bought while trying to prove a point before failing miserably”.
But then I clicked it. And after my brain gets flooded with the Bad Thoughts and a decently long anxiety attack of ten minutes pass (helped by my good friend the Stop Having An Attack medication) I have to tack a step back and realize I Pavloved my brain to associate the click of my little clicker with anxiety.
TLDR; I gave myself an anxiety attack because teenage me pavloved my brain
steampunkMechElves: Lol, a friend of mine pavloved themselves into horny whenever they heard a clicker.
Various-Astronaut373: Your friend must be very horny while typing.
steampunkMechElves: Different click.
CoconutGator: Ahh a mouse click
steampunkMechElves: Have you ever played with one of the pet training clickers?

1659883755 | 1659886884 | t3_wihg8z | t5_2to41 | 15 | AnonToBeDeleted: TIFU by wanking.
FYI: I live with my parents for financial reasons and have a vulva.
I recently came back from a long trip abroad with friends so - being a polite person - I didn’t hook up with anyone and haven’t really gotten off in about 2 months cause I didn’t want to jack off at other peoples place. (It was an exchange trip so we were staying in family’s houses sometimes with kids and other times sharing rooms.) The issue is, I’m a really horny person, to the point where the second I said goodbye to my friends at the airport I went straight to the bathroom for… yeah. Didn’t come out for a solid hour. I even asked to go to the airport four hours before the flight instead of just three to accommodate for it.
So now back home, I’ve jerked off a shit ton. And, to not stink up my bed, I of course have a towel to soak it up. Only issue is, before I had a chance to wash everything my dearest mother has come into my room and taken the towel out. When I wasn’t home.
She was concerned cause she thinks I have a bladder problem so confronted me about it and offered to help. And Jesus Christ I’m not about to tell my mum she’s holding a towel with my cum on it so I just said some bullshit about being a really deep sleeper so not waking up when I need to go and trying to avoid making a mess by using the towel blah blah blah
To keep with the lie I now am cutting off all caffeine, not drinking water after 6 pm and she’s going to be waking me up in the middle of the night for me to relieve myself… all her suggestions
how is this my life rn.
I’m grateful she’s willing to go to such lengths but holy shit wtf am I supposed to do. Like she seriously mentioned taking me to the GP to get medication for this.
I’m also kinda mad because the only privacy I have in the entire house is my room. It feels like she was seriously encroaching on my space just by going into my room without me there. This isn’t the first time either and I feel like if she’d just respected my boundaries, none of this would be happening and I wouldn’t have to be planning an awkward conversation about my orgasms.
(Constructive advice welcome)
TL;DR : my mom thinks I have a bladder issue because she found the towel that I used for jacking off. I haven’t corrected her.
Limp-Reaction-3131: Lmao. Just tell the truth, it’s not that big of a deal and for the little bit of embarrassment caused it will save you a lot of pain.
AnonToBeDeleted: I wish I had your nonchalance. I feel so cripplingly embarrassed. But yeah, I will probably clear it up tomorrow.

Curae: Ooft that sounds bad. You already know to be careful, but do know that stuff like that can cause your piercing to migrate.
I had one of mine migrate and then my nipple tore at the front, super slowly luckily and didn't hurt, but was cleaning it and noticed I could see the bar through the front of my nipple as I had an extra hole there all of a sudden D:
My piercer had to remove it and now I gotta let it heal for a year before we pierce it again :( and that was while I've been super gentle.
Hope it doesn't happen to you ❤️
frooty_daddy: Okay this sounds terrifying! I am so sorry that happened :( hope you’re all healed now!!
Curae: It was pretty scary in the moment haha! It didn't hurt at all though, which is why I found out so late I guess. It happened at about the start of summer, so will be healing for a while to come...

1659896826 | 1659973013 | t3_wimfm7 | t5_2to41 | 33 | Aquillyne: TIFU now my colleague thinks I’m having an affair with his wife
A few years back I worked an office job for a big corporation.
The colleague in question – let’s call him James – was this guy who was quite reserved, quiet and awkward. He rarely engaged anyone in conversation, he just tapped away and did his job.
Anyway, his wife – let’s call her Jane – also worked at the same place. She was also pretty quiet and reserved, but way more talkative.
So one day by pure chance as I’m going to lunch, I bump into Jane and we just have a chat before heading into the canteen. Just boring stuff, what are you working on, how is it going, etc.
After a few minutes, I notice James has approached. And he’s just standing there watching us talking. And it might be because he’s generally awkward, but his expression was the equivalent of “what the fuck is going on here?” with a nuance of general hurt in it as well.
Reacting to this look on his face, I fuck up, and blurt out “Oh, err, we were just... uh, having a chat...” basically in the guiltiest voice you can imagine.
Let me be clear I absolutely was not even in the slightest hitting on this guy’s wife. But it was the look on his face that flustered me and made me essentially want to reassure the guy.
Anyway James gives no response at all, just a pained and accusative stare as he takes his wife’s arm and they leave. At this point my own words ring in my mind and I realise that’s exactly how it would have sounded if Jane and I had just been caught red-handed.
I don’t recall speaking to James or his wife again after that day, and they both left the job shortly after.
TL;DR: Guy “catches” me innocently chatting to his wife, I react as if we were in bed together.
tntdon: You sure Jane doesn't have a past?
MizElaneous: I think James is the one with the past.

[deleted]
NostradaMart: being young is no excuse for acting so stupidly, please kid, tell me, in what world taking those pills to counter your hunger is worse than selling drugs, wich is fuckin illegal... ?
​
Now grow the fuck up, go see your father, apologize for lying, come clean, and get real fucking help instead of a beating.
hmbritt: Wow, that was a little rough! The kid already admitted that he has a eating disorder. He's afraid to talk to his dad, and it sounds like his dad might not be the most understanding person.
Although I don't know, maybe he might be. But none of us know, we don't know his dad.
Instead of telling him to "grow the fuck and get some real fucking help.", maybe try to be a little more sympathetic.
I highly doubt he came here for a lecture. I'm pretty certain his father already gave him that.
NostradaMart: yes, it is. it's tough parenting done right. no need to hit him. I'm not sure you understand how this could all have been prevented if he just told the truth...
​
Hiis dad probably beat the shit out of him because selling his medications is a dick move but also VERY illegal...He overreacted, yes, and probably wouldn't have been SO hard on the kid learning that it was to help with a mental health issue...on that the father can relate.
​
so...tell me, would you prefer your kid to be vulnerable and tell you he has mental health issues ? or thiking that he's a nasty little thief who'll end up in jail by age 20 ?
​
edit: typos
hmbritt: First of all you're not his parent. You don't know his father, how he reacts to things, just like I don't nor does anyone else on Reddit.
He mentioned in a comment to someone else that he doesn't have that kind of relationship with his father, and he's afraid that he will get in trouble for having an eating disorder.
Sounds to me like father is not very understanding.
And yes I'd be pissed off if I found out my kids were taking prescriptions and selling them. They'd be in trouble. But I don't think the fuck up is completely on the kid. It's the fathers, the parents as well.
He shouldn't be afraid to turn to them and ask for help. He shouldn't be afraid to tell his father he has a eating disorder. That's where the biggest fuck is, not the kid.
He's afraid to even go to him for help. Sounds like he's afraid that he's going to receive another beating just for having an eating disorder. Instead of actually receiving help....
He turned to Reddit for support. Not to be yelled at which he already received from his father. He already knows he was in the wrong, he mentioned it in his post.
His father's already giving him the tough love that you're referring to. There's a way to give someone advice, to guide them in the right direction without being an ass or being mean.
And it sounds like he's already receiving the mean treatment at home, he doesn't need it from here as well.
NostradaMart: A lot of that can be due to assumptions, kids think of their parents in one way. My eldest daughter who went through drugs, and other stuff and gave me fuckin hell during her teenage years thought she couldn't open up to me because we didn't have that kind of relationship, when every time I told her, why didn't you talk to me about it BEFORE doing \[insert stupid teen shit here\] ? she was scared. and then someday she finally opened up a little, saw that dad was not what she expected, and it was the first step of us building trust and becoming very close, she's 21 now, have a serious anorexia disorder and she knows she can count on my support.
​
And as you can see, i'm not someone who's smooth to approach...
​
and BTW r/tifu is not a support reddit, it's to laugh at dummies doing stupid shit.
hmbritt: That is very true! This is definitely not a support thread. I've noticed a lot of people come to tifu for support not realizing this is supposed to be a comical thread.
I am really sorry you and your daughter went through that. I've never personally suffered from addiction or known anyone personally. But I do suffer from mental illness, severe depression, and have suffered from an eating disorder as well. I also grew up in foster care. Pretty much my whole life, and know what it feels like to not be able to talk to your adults.
I'm glad your daughter was finally able to come to you guys for help.
Hopefully his father is understanding and he's able to go to him for help.
Not every father or every parent is good like you guys. Some are truly mean and not very understanding.
Hopefully his is understanding when he finally turns to him.
NostradaMart: That's why I went hard on the kid a little, very often do teenagers have misconceptions about how their parents will perceive certain things....and It only takes one side to talk to the other for this to end up very differently...
​
Tahnk you for the kind words. hope you have all the help and support you need with your own mental illness problems.

1659899881 | 1660698100 | t3_winlvh | t5_2to41 | 436 | _GenderNotFound: TIFU by poisoning the family dog.
This was about 10 years ago.
For some context, when I was 15 and my sister was 11, my abusive father left. He was abusive to our animals as well as the people in his life, and after he left, me and my sister went completely different directions in terms of pets. I wanted nothing to do with animals, especially dogs, because a dog was the last pet we had and my dad beat it in front of us. He then sold the dog, which makes me happy when I think about it because the dog moved onto better things.
My sister was the opposite and kept saying how much she wanted a pet. My sister is more of a dog person, and I'm a cat person. I still love dogs, just at the time it brought up trauma. I told my mom if they got a dog I didn't want to have anything to do with the care of the dog as I was not prepared for that responsibility due to a lot of reasons. I still went with them to look at dogs, but kept saying that I didn't want to be held responsible for any of the care of the dog because i was not in a place to handle it.
They originally were going to get this bulldog that my sister really liked, but the day they went to adopt the dog, I was surprised when they came home with a small, cute daschund. They said the guy at the rescue said this dog would be better for their lifestyle. So they came home with sweet little Dasher.
Skip ahead a few months to new years and our little dog was settling in nicely. I had kept my word and pet the dog on occasion, but didn't help take care of him. He was sweet, though.
On new years I had some treats out as we watched the ball drop on new years eve. My mom said to make sure I put my oreos away after the event so Dasher wouldn't eat them. Which I did. However, I left out a rather large chocolate bar which the dog ate. My sister got really angry when she found out and kept yelling her dog was going to die, that I killed her dog, stuff like that.
The dog was just fine. No issues at all. I was much more careful with chocolate after that and the dog lived until early 2020 when he was put down due to cancer.
Edit: for everyone telling me similar stories, thank you. They are all very cute.
Tl;dr: Dog got into chocolate that I left out, he was fine, sister was mad though.
Alienwallbuilder: You gave the dog cancer?
_GenderNotFound: It says that nowhere in this story.
Alienwallbuilder: Lol chocolate causes cancer/s
_GenderNotFound: Send me the proof because I've been browsing Google and I have not found any evidence of what you are saying.
Alienwallbuilder: It is a joke can you not see the /s
_GenderNotFound: Idk what that means dude take care
Alienwallbuilder: /s means you are joking on reddit.
_GenderNotFound: Til
Alienwallbuilder: Lol l didn't mean anything bad.
_GenderNotFound: Ok

1659900673 | 1659903893 | t3_winx20 | t5_2to41 | 3 | _GenderNotFound: TIFU by leaving food out for several days
So, I moved out back in early April. I'm going to say that I have autism and I have some issues because of it which mean I can't do my own dishes, and believe me, I did try. So, my mom's been coming over and helping me a couple times a week because I didn't have a support worker at the time this story happened a few weeks ago. I do now though
Anyway, I had some food in the fridge which started tasting like iron because I left it in the pot for too long (that's a story for another time). I didn't want to eat it anymore so I just decided to leave it out until tomorrow because it was very late at night. Instead of leaving it overnight, though, I forgot about it for about three days. When I was putting dishes in my sink in soak and getting things ready, I came across the pot and opened it to put the food in the trash, but was hit with a smell that immediately made me feel like puking. I tried to put the lid back on, but it was too late and I had released the smell already. I had to go wait in the other room and explained the situation to my mom over text. Luckily, she was able to take care of it. I always make sure to deal with expired food same day now and don't leave anything overnight.
Tl;dr: left expired food out for several days and made the whole kitchen stink.
negocpu4: Just for curiosity, why you say you're having trouble washing the dishes? I understand that being on the spectrum can be tough but like, what is the specific reason for you to not being able to do that?
_GenderNotFound: Just can't.
negocpu4: Why, is it because you're physically incapacitated or something else? Sorry if this bothers you I just wanted to know.

On mobile. If there are any format issues, I'll fix them when I get home.
This just happened today. I'm a front end courtesy clerk at a grocery store, which means that I'm usually either bagging groceries or rounding up carts in the parking lot. Earlier, I was asked to go outside and grab some carts because a storm was coming and they wanted most if not all of the carts inside before then. I noticed that it was sprinkling a little bit, so I put on my rain boots and went outside. Since it was just a light sprinkle, I decided to not put on my rain coat right away. There have been a couple times where I went back inside to put it on only for it to stop raining once I got back outside, so I decided to wait a little bit see if it go worse. BIG MISTAKE.
After a while, it soon started POURING. Like, a "head for the hills" kind of pouring. I was somewhere around the back 40 of the parking lot so I was quite a ways away from the door, so I took shelter under the nearest cart corral while everyone else had already gone inside. Since I realized that this deluge wasn't going to stop soon, I decided to just take my four grocery carts and book it towards the door as fast as possible. By the time I finally got inside, I was absolutely SOAKED. My apron was wet, my khakis were wet, my socks were wet, even my underwear got a bit damp. It's been about 20 minutes since I came in and I'm still damp all over. Oh well, at least I won't make the same mistake twice.
TLDR: I made the mistake of not putting on a rain coat while grabbing grocery carts before an oncoming rain storm and got soaked all over.
diabolikul1: oh man i remember having to shag carriages in new england’s winter when i was in HS. super uncomfortable shifts the store i worked at was large so we couldn’t even really take breaks in between getting the carts it was awful
Ayowolf: Shag means a very different word here in England...

1659904210 | 1659908118 | t3_wipa2i | t5_2to41 | 6 | Ambitious_Tank_3715: Tifu by getting in a car crash and it was my fault
Today I fucked up. I’m a 16 year old boy who got his license probably a month ago after failing the first time. I loved driving and was pretty good at it because I took my test late so I had been driving for about nine months. Today I got back from vacation with out driving at all. I decided to get food with one of my friends. I was driving and came to an intersection, I was turning left. The light had turned yellow while I was under it so I had to finish my turn but I wasn’t paying attention or I was being stupid I don’t know but I went in front of someone going straight so obviously they had the right of way and slammed into me. Totaled a car my parents got for me. No one was injured during the crash thankfully but 2 hours later I still feel sick. My parents comforted me but i still feel horrible it was my fault. My friends all said they are glad im okay but I feel like they won’t wanna get into a car with me after I made such a stupid mistake. I wasn’t distracted by a phone or anything just wasn’t paying attention I guess. Anyways I feel terrible and sick and don’t wanna drive anytime soon.
Tldr new driving gets in bad accident because they basically cut someone off and and now don’t wanna drive for a while.
eggsuicide: i wrecked my first car into two fences when i was 17 😹 at 20 i now have a nice ass car and haven’t wrecked since! it happens to most people when they first start driving, and it definitely is a lesson you learn!
Ambitious_Tank_3715: Yea major lesson to learn. Just upset I had to learn it so early
eggsuicide: better now than when you’re paying off a brand new car in my opinion!

ItsaJello: You should absolutely call animal control and report him. If you can, collect the remains and bring them to your local municipal shelter and explain the situation. They can prosecute him on animal cruelty charges.
WhisperedEchoes85: >If you can, collect the remains
Terrible advice if you want to avoid amplifying the trauma from this experience. Let the police or animal control handle it.
ItsaJello: That's why I said if they can. Not being emotionally capable is completely valid, filing a report with animal control over the phone is also a possibility.
WhisperedEchoes85: True. I didn't read it as emotionally or physically capable, just capable as a general statement. Adding to that, OP isn't even an adult yet and is probably traumatized, it just didn't click in my head that you meant emotionally.

1659909652 | 1659992180 | t3_wirdke | t5_2to41 | 34 | AbiSANSCHUBBS: TIFU by eating food I was apparently allergic to
Sorry I didn't post this the day of but this happened on Friday.
Friday was my mother's 40th birthday so after work I was going to drive 2 and a half hours to see her and spend the weekend with her and my dad and little brother. So. I got home from work, packed my bags, cleaned my guinea pigs' cage, and went upstairs to eat before I left.
Now, I had lobster Mac and cheese leftovers in the fridge from eating out with a friend the other day. I didn't eat much at all because I had bread and a salad before I got the lobster Mac and cheese. I got home that night and my stomach was upset but I wasn't sure why.
Back to Friday afternoon. I ate the whole container, then packed up the car, my husband helped me, we said our goodbyes for the weekend, texted my dad I was on the way, and left.
Alright, so, 3/4ths of the way there my intestines feel terrible, and pretty suddenly I feel like my butt is going to explode. I pulled over in a panic because I didn't think I could hold it for much longer (I live in the USA so I pulled over to the right side of the road). At this point I am trying to figure out how to take a shit because I was not in a town and there was nowhere nearby I could hide. I pulled over right before my next turn which was onto a highway, so lots of traffic there. The road curves around before the highway so people driving up to the highway could see the side of my car hiding from the highway. If I'm not making sense here, basically all sides of my car are visible to traffic depending on where they are coming from.
I tried a couple different things at first. I grabbed a grocery sack from my back seat, pushed the passenger seat as far back as possible and tried fitting myself on the floor in the front of the car. I did not have enough room to shit in the sack there. I then got out of the car from the passenger side and looked around the field next to the highway wondering if the grass was tall enough to hide out there. Nope. Standing there, still panicked, thought about just popping a squat right there with all the traffic and shitting in the sack.
Ok well then my butt exploded and it was too late to try to get it in a sack.
I tried calling my husband several times but he didn't pick up. He is very good at problem solving so I really wanted his help. I think the next thing I did was get back in the passenger seat, squatting on the seat, I took off my shoes cause I realized it was running down my pants/legs.
Keep in mind there is still plenty of traffic and I am still panicking.
I went through my bag of clothes looking for something to change into or sit on or something. This is what I came up with:
I laid down a pair of shorts in the back seat, put the grocery sack back there for my nasty clothes, and put aside a different pair of shorts to change into. I climb into the back from the passenger seat and sit on the shorts. I take off my pants and the mess spills out onto the shorts I'm sitting on, by then it's all over me, butt, my lady area, legs, and even my socks. I got the pants, panties, and socks I was wearing into the sack accidentally getting the diarrhea all over the outside of the sack and my hands.
Then my dad calls.
So with a knuckle, I answer the call and put him on speaker.
Me: "hi..."
Him: "Hey, how's it going?"
Me: "uh, not good..."
Him: "What? Are you ok?"
Me: I burst into tears and said something like "I DIARRHEAD ALL OVER MYSELF AND IM IN THE BACK SEAT...." Yatta yatta.
Well he asked how far away I was and when I told him I wasn't too far he told me to just do what I can to get back on the road and my mom and sister (my sister was also spending the weekend there) will help me clean up when I get there.
So we hung up and my next step was I wiped my hands off on the shirt I was wearing, then I started putting on the shorts I set aside. I got them up my legs as much as possible before standing up, got up (top half bent over cause you know, I'm still in the car), tried to get them up the rest of the way when I realized they don't fit because they are not my shorts. I accidentally packed one of my sister-in-laws' shorts (I live with my in-laws).
Ok, so, I've had it. I get the shorts halfway up my butt cheeks and that's all I could do. I then get the shorts I was sitting on into the sack with the rest of the nasty clothes and put that sack into my trash sack I had back there. Then I get out of my car from the back passenger side. Haha guess what, I hoped barefoot right into horse shit (I live in a state with Amish people). I decided I didn't care. I walked around to the driver's seat and got in and drove off to my parents house.
When I get there, there are 3 cars they have to move so I could get into their garage to clean up. That is what we decided to do.
Ok so I'm waiting in my car as they all back out of the driveway, and, well, I shit a bunch of liquid this time, in my driver's seat.
Anyway, I cleaned myself up and showered and all that and am talking to my parents about it later and apparently my dad is very very allergic to shellfish, the most he can have before something goes wrong is a few shrimp. I never put it together before this weekend but I associate shrimp with nausea and before Friday, I hadn't ever had any kind of shellfish to that quantity before. The only kind was shrimp and crab legs, but again, a very small amount at a time and still got nauseous to the shrimp.
Tl;dr: I ate lobster Mac and cheese and then left on a 2 and a half hour drive to my parents house. On the way I had diarrhea in my pants. Later when talking to my parents about it I found out my dad is very allergic to shellfish.

1659910794 | 1660491165 | t3_wirtfp | t5_2to41 | 17 | Arkive_: TIFU by interfering with my boyfriend and his friends
I went to his house to surprise him with breakfast while he was sleeping since it was almost his birthday, and I wanted to surprise him.
I woke him up and said I had made breakfast for him, he told me he didn't sleep well and that I shouldn't have woken him up, I asked him what happened last night. He told me he was with his friends and they didn't let him leave the car, he asked them to drive him home but they wouldn't so he was just sitting in the car doing whatever he wanted until 5 am, I told him that was bad and he shouldn't be forced to sit in the car all evening and it's not safe at night so if they cared they would drop him off at a safe location.
I told him he deserved better than that and he started to get more agitated and even yell and said I don't understand anything because he couldn't do that since they're driving and he couldn't force them, and I told him it's probably okay to set boundaries so they don't affect his sleep and health, and tell them to not force him to be out late when he can't and that I was sorry that happened.
Out of nowhere, he says "you're always making everything so difficult for me, they can force me, like what the hell do you want me to do? Jump out of the car and run home, I can't pick and choose when I go home, especially when they stay up to study, and now you made it all worse and triggered me and made it difficult, can you just leave" that is what he said to me, not the worse but I was wondering what I did wrong, I thought he was angry at them, so I didn't want to bother him more and said "I don't know what I did wrong but here, here's your breakfast, I'm sorry for saying that and making things worse, it was wrong of me and I shouldn't interfere. I'll let you be" and then I left and I haven't heard from him since this morning. I understand this is a small thing but I made him even more upset so I fucked up.
TL;DR
j_dext: I'm single and would do anything to have a gf that cares enough to call let alone come over and make breakfast.
You had no idea what his night was so he should have been mature enough to realize this and not reacted like he did. At the same time lack of sleep can make someone cranky. That's no excuse for him though. A man should know know better and control himself.
You did nothing wrong. If he's not calling then he's not the one. I would bet something else was going on last night. Out of respect for you I'd have told you last night in a text the situation. You'd probably offered to pick me up. Problem solved. Or was he in a cabin in the woods with no signal where he couldn't text or get an Uber? Come on!
There's more to his story. Red flag! Drop him like a bad habit.
Arkive_: Honestly, I didn't like his behavior and I knew it wasn't okay but I also knew he must of had a tough night to be like this so I just backed away and hoped he could sleep and eat well to feel better.
I did text him once that night, but he didn't answer and I went to sleep. If he had an opportunity to tell me his location I would definitely pick him up but he never answered me so I had no luck in that and he did explain before that he was going to hang with his friends so I knew he wasn't alone, but he needs to set boundaries with them if they're not going to let him leave.
He was driving with his friends around the streets so service and internet was pretty okay and they probably drank as well so he might of just been very hung over, I'm not really sure but I'll ask him once/if he gets back to me.
j_dext: Certainly give him an opportunity to explain himself but if he doesn't come clean with a mostly believable story then there's another red flag. All the best.
Arkive_: He has yet to answer me. I think it's over. I asked if we could have a proper talk but he hasn't replied

[removed]
jcpmojo: I truly want you to have a happy and fulfilled life, but I'm afraid it's going to be a very hard road for you. Cis males don't generally take it well when someone they start to have feelings for and may have fooled around with a little come out as trans. And it can, unfortunately, be very dangerous for you. Secrets don't work, they only make for bigger explosions. Be safe.
Brandeeno2245: Well he's kinda known I was at the very least I was non-binary, as he has been trying subtly to get me to refer to myself with gender neutral terms we've also talked about gender dysphoria and how it effects me I've just never literally said or confirmed that I see myself as a woman until I accidentally blurted it out after he talked about sex with other woman

1659912869 | 1659916689 | t3_wislnb | t5_2to41 | 10 | BANG-BANG-BNINE: TIFU by cleaning the gutters of my roof
Ok this happened maybe 2 hrs ago (24M) helping my mother whom I live with ❤️. I needed to clean the gutters on my roof had things literally growing in them haha. So I borrowed a ladder and proceed to climb up to the second story and get on the roof. No issues thus far, had my gloves, bucket all that and got up there no problem. I then clean the worst part of it in the front of the house closet to the tree that has been shedding pine needles and what have you all over. I got all that wrapped up and just needed touch up the stuff in the back. Mind you this is right above my back stairs with a small porch. I had a full bucket of crud to dump in the bin to just bout to top it off and I had been alternating between using my hand and the scoop I had. So I go to the edge right above the porch and stick my hand in the gutter and out come 10 MF HORNETS I'm shook throw the bucket and the scoop and am swatting desperately at these abominations lol. Only a few bit me before I escaped thankfully 🙏. And all the sudden my Mom comes flying out the back door she thought I fell cause it was so loud 🤣. Got most of my mission was successful I had to evacuate. No biggie not to bad at least the bit my ass and weren't going fo blood and stinging me. Lucky Lucky 😎.
TLDR: Today I needed to clean my gutters of my 2 story (20ft) house and in the process discovered a hornets nest yikes! Only bit not stung a few times before escaping. And my Mom thought I fell off the roof because I dropped the bucket on the porch 😊
MysticMarbles: As a former gutter cleaner, may I state the importance of smacking all the gutters and ridge caps with a long pole before starting the job so this does not happen.
BANG-BANG-BNINE: Appreciated boss. Will do this next time

1659756055 | 1660016984 | t3_whe6gc | t5_2to41 | 4 | Paul_Castro: TIFU by disabling my own classroom's internet (again, right away)
I'm a high school teacher and in my classroom there are two different outlets (I think the technical term is a "network drop") for the ethernet port (the internet cable). Anyways, I have the school computer, my own laptop, and the school printer. Then the second drop is blocked by a filing cabinet (I moved into the room this year) and so I couldn't really hadn't been able to get to it. So, I had three devices that I wanted to plug into the internet but only one drop to access.
My solution was to get an ethernet splitter (a powered box that splits the signal, imagine a wifi router without the wifi) and used a better than normal cable (cat-8 ethernet cable).
What happened was that the ethernet port totally went out, no signal or anything. I put in a work order to have it looked at. Before the work order, I had a different but similar ethernet splitter in case I just a lemon.
\[In my old classroom, I had two ports, and I could access both, had the three devices, but used the splitter (the first which I thought might be a lemon) for two of the devices. I had the exact same thing happen with the internet.\]
I had the ethernet switch plugged in to the drop. The technician came in, unplugged the cord that plugged in the switch, repaired the drop, and then plugged back in that same cord. As a result, he plugged back in my switch. As a result, my drop instantly went dead again. The network drop is in "error disabled mode." Hence the fuck up.
I just never learned my lesson. After using an ethernet switch in my old room and having the internet die and again in my new room, and knowing how uptight the technology infrastructure is in my school district, I should have known better. I did get behind that damn filing cabinet to the other drop but it was a huge pain in the ass but it got me a drop for the school desktop computer.
I have guest wifi (which is good enough for now especially considering the embarrassment) and can plug in the printer to one of the computers (at a time). I just don't want to go put in another work order for it right away, it could be embarrassing at the very least and I'd rather they not bitch about it to my boss. My boss can go fuck himself, but it'd just be really inconvenient for that.
TL;DR TIFU by fucking up my internet at work literally the second after the IT tech from downtown fixed it because of a personal internet splitter I use in my classroom, and I just realized today that this isn't the first time. I'm going to have to wait at least month to put in another work order.
Nova_Nightmare: This is kind of funny.
First, I enjoy reading your descriptions of the technology, you know what they are, even if you don't know exactly.
So I am pretty positive, but can't say for sure that your own provided splitter (this is called an ethernet hub) is causing the port to die due to it not being authorized.
This is either Mac address filtering or NAC (Network Access Control).
It is a security risk when someone can plug their own devices into a network port and the system does nothing. I personally set things up this way, because when it happens, it forces people to complain and ask for help.
So, you need to either get a your device authorized, or have them provide the equipment to you.
You should not wait to put a ticket in, as your ticket would involve a network change, so it may beya totally different person dealing with it. The fact that your tech didn't know anything about the hub probably means they don't have anything to do with your network setup.
Paul_Castro: Thanks for that explanation, that totally makes sense. The tech was definitely there less than four minutes total in my room so I don't think it was a major investigation. I doubt they would ever authorize my device, but if have equipment, I can ask (and smartly feign ignorance if needed).
