1661141509 | 1661192375 | t3_wujji2 | t5_2to41 | 17 | hmajestyship: TIFU by Letting a Spider Loose
Tonight I was in my bedroom with the door closed. I was getting up to get some snacks when I found a spider on the side of my door frame. Now it's important to point out that while I was already having anxiety for unrelated reasons, I generally don't have anxiety towards spiders and I actually think they're kinda cute.
The spider is only the size of a cherry including its legs. But I specifically don't like how its legs are pointy, like needles at 90° angles. All black. I don't like taking care of bugs that crunch though, so I went to go get a family member. I got distracted opening the door and next thing I know, it fucking jumps! Right into my laundry! You bet your ass I shook those baskets around, but to no avail. Alas I'm freaking out because I'm about to go to bed. Wish me luck!
TLDR: TIFU by underestimating my fear of jumping spiders and not smooshing it when I should've.
Icy_Engine_7648: Black windows are black with pointy legs
SmokieWanKinobe: Black widows don't jump though. They've got too much of a dump truck for that. If it was a typical jumping spider they're pretty chill and won't bite you unless you do something threatening... Like trapping it in a laundry basket then sending it through a clothing tsunami.
hmajestyship: You're right regarding black widows. However, typical jumping spiders look a little too colorful and fluffy. Resembles a tick but the size of a cherry or a grape.
SmokieWanKinobe: We've got some black and gray ones around here but yes they are definitely the floofsters of the arachnid world.
hmajestyship: The one I saw didn't look like a floofster.

1661145072 | 1661227279 | t3_wukmx1 | t5_2to41 | 50 | ndergarment: TIFU by telling my professor to call me daddy
So tomorrow morning is my first day of a new math class, and the professor had emailed out an introduction form. It asked things like "what's your favorite song" and "what should I call you?" Well, I've been smoking a bit, and for my own personal amusement, I put "Father" down in the latter box while I worked on the brief math section. After getting through the math (not the easiest to do from the clouds) I put down my favorite song and sent it in. didn't have the "oh fuck" moment until a few minutes later.
Went back to my emails to try to redo the form, and not only did I find that I could not redo the form, I found that the professor was not a guy like I thought, she's a middle-aged woman. About that time is when the sexual connotation dawned on me. See, up to this point, I had been imagining the title of a Catholic priest, however I can't imagine that a middle-aged woman is going to take a 19 yo dude telling her to call him "Father" as a religious reference. And the best part? We're all getting an introduction at the beginning of class, based on our quiz answers, of course.
So, I'm well aware I'm fucked. However, my high brain is telling me that perhaps I'm not all that fucked, I just gotta figure out how to play it off with a Catholic priest joke or something.
How fucked am I?
TL;DR - I accidentally told my female professor to call me "Father" through an introduction questionnaire I sent in without a proofread. I wish to know how fucked I am.
SuperSyrias: just say "i put that there as a joke and forgot. sorry" its not that hard.
irritated_squid: You're forgetting bro is high right now 😭

1661147013 | 1661212964 | t3_wul76r | t5_2to41 | 468 | yourmom694200000: TIFU by taking 4x the dosage of laxatives
Throwaway account because this is way too embarrassing to put on my main account.
I recently went on a week long vacation, and as many people experience, my bowel movements were completely fucked up. I didn’t shit the whole time. This had happened to me before. I thought to myself, “oh yeah, the second we land back home I’ll be on the toilet shitting in no time.”
First mistake. 3 days after I get back home, there is no sign of my bowels moving whatsoever. I was still passing gas and whatever, so I knew it wasn’t a bowel obstruction or anything serious. So, on the way home from work, I stopped by CVS and picked up a sketchy looking laxative.
I don’t live in the nicest part of town, so my CVS is jank as hell, and by mere chance on the laxative that I purchased the drug facts label was partially ripped off, so I couldn’t see how many of those little pink pills I should take.
So, I just pop 4 in my mouth and go on with my day. Still no shit. I decide to take it slow and wait until the next morning. I’d I don’t shit, I’ll go to the doctor, easy enough.
The next morning, I’m woken up by weird dreams, and the strangest sensation my gut that I’ve ever felt in my life, it felt like the ocean was trapped down there, shit was sloshing around and everything.
I suddenly get the worst urge to shit I’ve ever felt in my life, and in my mind I think “finally!” Second mistake.
I jump out of bed, and the second I stand up and something wet begins leaking down my leg. I look down, and a pool of shit is accumulating at my feet. I had shit through my boxers in my sleep.
In this moment, I was forever thankful my roommate was out of town visiting his parents, because I would never be able to live down this humiliation. I sprinted to the bathroom and hardly made it to the toilet before a literal waterfall erupted from my ass. I’m talking straight water, there was not a single trace of anything solid.
I’ve never taken a shit so big in my life, it was never ending. However, I made through and after about 30 minutes of just letting my ass do its thing I wipe my ass (hurt like a bitch) and toss my shit filled boxers along with my sheets into my washing machine with an ungodly amount of oxi clean.
This is where my dilemma started. My shift started in an hour, I had at least a 30 minute commute, and my bedroom had shit all over the floor.
I will say my cleaning up job was not the greatest, it involved mostly a heap of paper towels and Clorox wipes, but I disinfected my floor the best I could before I threw on some clothes and left for work.
I got to work, and probably for an hour I thought the worst was over, and my ass was fully purged. But soon it hit me like a truck and I couldn’t control myself before my ass erupted in the wettest fart I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m sure that shit leaked out too in the process. My coworkers all turned to give me a look and I couldn’t help but feeling like crying and I ran to the bathroom as fast as I could, and sure enough the second I sat down it was a repeat of this morning and pure liquid erupted from my chapped ass hole.
My ass literally hurts so bad. And of course, when I farted shit actually *did* leak out so I proceeded to wipe it off with toilet paper the best I could while my ass sounded like a dying whale. There were other people at the urinals but I couldn’t bring myself to care. This was my literal midlife crisis. I continued to be stranded on that toilet for the next 45 minutes, too scared to get back up to work in fear that I’ll shit myself again.
Intermittently through my toilet session, my ass would slow down and then start erupting again in waves, which is my initial concern to not going back to work. But once it calmed down again, I had no choice but to return back without my boss chewing me out.
I worked for the rest of the day with skid-marked, wet, shitty underwear and the worst stomach ache of my life.
After my shift, I looked up the brand of laxative, and sure enough for an adult you’re only supposed to take one pill. Never again.
TL:DR took too many laxatives and shit myself
oceanveins: As someone who is currently in the midst of colonscopy prep..... I totally get it 😭 I'm sorry you went to work like that!
DovahFerret: I work in a pharmacy and whenever someone is picking up their colonoscopy prep stuff, I always want to wish them luck. Especially the ones where you have to drink a 4000ml jug of stuff, and take bisocodyl on top of that. I literally cannot imagine how unpleasant that must be :(
oceanveins: Yeah, there seems to be a handful of different preps. Mine wasn't prescription based but it was still a high volume and A LOT of laxatives. Honestly overkill. Trying to go through the volume of fluid in the aloted time is not fun. I gave myself extra time. Glad I will not need to do anything like it for quite some time now!
DovahFerret: That sounds rough. I'm glad you're getting a nice long break from it :)
oceanveins: Thanks!

So Today I (15m) messed up, and yes I know most of you probably think I'm to young but I do smoke 🍃 and sorry if this doesn't make much sense I'm not the type to use social media but for a little context I am online schooled, and I don't have any freinds so I never leave the house unless it's with family so it's not like I can get my own stuff so I use my mom's bong and 🍃 I don't use very much so she's never noticed, I have been doing this for around a year, I do it because of stress and night terrors, but tonight I did what I usually do and got all the stuff went to my room and set the stuff down went to sit down and... I hit my charger cord wich pulled the bong off my desk onto the floor and it broke now if it was just a crack she wouldn't notice because she never uses it she uses her pipe but it's a chunk of the bottom gone, I know I have to tell her but I don't know how I plan I telling her tommorow when she comes home from work I don't expect anything from this post I just needed to get it off my chest before I tell her any advice is appreciated I will try and update after I talk to her. TL :DR TIFU by smoking and breaking my mom's bong
givememoreskin: First, whatever school you are taking is not teaching you very good because you write in reunion sentances and in today's world being able to write well is more important than ever and maybe you should stop smoking weed. I hope I made my point.
FreeDOMinic: Back off the kid. Clearly he didn't come here for you to bad mouth his education. He is obviously looking for some guidance through what is not ultimately that big a deal. So my guy, don't listen to this fool. Be honest with your mom. And be honest about why you are using it. I told my mom I was smoking at 15. One other thing. If things are tough, there is no shame in therapy. I also sought it out at 15. You got this.
givememoreskin: >Clearly he didn't come here for you to bad mouth his education. He is obviously looking for some guidance
Here's some guidance, SMOKING WEED REGULARLY AS A TEENAGER WILL HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON YOUR EDUCATION!
FreeDOMinic: Here's some more guidance. Guide yourself somewhere else. You're not wanted here.
givememoreskin: Ease off the kid. He has every right to be here, it's a public forum.
FreeDOMinic: That's directed at you. Quite obviously.

[removed]
TsumugiInuzuka: Tell them to send it to everyone, and that they better do it and you'll be contacting everyone to make sure they did
That way you'll make the scammer think that you're some horny exhibitionist who gets off on this shit and you locked into a real life fantasy for free and they won't do that shit for you they want to get paid so they'll drop it
Make sure you really go into it though like don't let her know that you're just bluffing really go for it because they're not honestly going to do anything but there's a chance they might not believe you either so make them believe
spinningcolours: Tell them to send it and that you are a minor. That will get them into child porn charges.
TsumugiInuzuka: Are you really trying to shame op and say that he has a small enough dick he could get mistaken for a child

steampunkMechElves: It means you fuck black dudes in a kind of weird and slightly racist way. Idk, it's weird.

Actually, pornhub might not have it. I found a bunch of it on a neonazi telegram group, weirdly enough.
solstice_gilder: Why were you on a neonazi telegram
steampunkMechElves: I like to keep an eye on them, in case they get the idea to do something like infiltrate 4chan with ironic memes, or "operation pridefall" or whatever other disgusting psyops they can pull out of their asses. If I know their talking points in advance, I can head them off at the pass sometimes.

steampunkMechElves: Wanting to keep an eye on neonazis is now delusional? Wtf?

1661157549 | 1662023831 | t3_wuo39u | t5_2to41 | 58 | MightyShelf: TIFU by learning how to fly, while driving.
Ok so this is a funny story about the first time i got stoned during the single worst year of my life. I wont go into the details of why it was the worst year of my life, you will just have to trust me when i tell you even the lifetime movie channel didn't hold a candle to how bad that year was. I was pretty stressed out. Scratch that i was VERY stressed out.
So one day i went to go visit a good buddy of mine and he has been noticing my slow decent into madness. So he suggests i get stoned for the first time. Up to that point in my life i was pretty against that sort of thing. But before i could object he said "Hay, think about it, you have already tried everything else." So i thought about it for a few minutes and decided he was right. So i agreed. So we go to this gas station that sold the legal stuff "not pot", and bought a bag of Colorado black diamond. We also picked up a special brownie for good measure, and we head back to his place.
After an hour or so i started to feel thirsty. Like Arabian desert in the middle of July thirsty. So we decide to drive to Cici's all you can eat pizza/soda buffet. I was impressing myself with how chill i was acting, in spite of the fact that i was completely blitzed, and we pick a table near the arcade room. I forget all about the pizza and start watching the beautiful dancing lights. It was so magical. it was like they were putting on a show just for me. I was mesmerized. I had no idea there were other people in the restaurant. There were.
So after some time of staring at the dancing arcade lights, a young child who could not possibly be more than 2 years old, makes his way to the arcade room. . and in my line of sight. Suddenly someone else exists in this universe i find myself in. Now i was under the impression that i whispered this to my friend. But i was very, very wrong. I pointed at this poor kid and shouted to my friend "OH LOOK A FUCK TROPHY!" My friend shot soda out of his nose, the clerk on the other side of the store ran into the back laughing, and the family sitting right next to us (that i was oblivious of) were concentrating very hard on their pizza. My friend suggested we leave soon after that.
But wait, there's more.
After we leave the brownie begins to kick in. I was driving us home (another bad idea) down country roads where the speed limit was upwards of 60mph. I was driving 35, in a 55, it felt like we were going 85, and i thought we were gonna die. As i was driving the car began to float. So i feel like we are going 85 mph down country roads, and now my car is flying. I tried to tell my friend i couldn't drive anymore because "I don't have my pilots license." My friend laughs and tells me to pull over so he can drive. But at this point im convinced we are flying so i cant, i don't know how to land the car. My buddy had to slowly walk me through landing the car. He even called putting the parking break on "setting the landing gear." It was the most terrifying moment of my entire life. I landed the car, went into his guest room, and passed the F out! In spite how scared i was, it really helped me relax. Now every time my friends tell stoner stories, mine is always among the first to come up.
TL:DR My friend got me high and I had a bad trip while driving. Leaving me with a lifelong lesson, and the best story ever!
dadarkgtprince: Awesome friend for being there with you and not having you experience the trip alone
onlyforthisjob: But not so awesome friend for letting him drive a car under influence
robotnique: Truth. OP could have a way bigger tifu to tell. Take it as a lesson to never drive again while not sober because of how easily things could have gotten really bad.
MightyShelf: Oh believe me that is a lesson I learned well that day lol.

I (F) started a new year in high school a couple of weeks ago and there was this really cute guy who was in two of my classes, that I had sort of known last year from mutual friends. I knew that last year my friend had been sort of a thing with that guy, but told me that nothing would come of it and that they didn't want a label. So I started talking to him as a friend and started having a little crush on him. This guy is literally so amazing, I mean perfect height, super funny, and really attractive too. So I was talking to the friend over text today and found out that something had actually happened over the summer and he had just called it off a week ago, the day I had gotten his profile for an app I could message him on (if he sees this I don't want to make it too obvious lol). But I felt so bad but also wasn't sure if I broke the girl code or not because me and that friend weren't super close. But I'm going to school in 7.5 hours so wish me luck. TL;DR I'm talking to a guy at school and found out that a friend from the year before had been sort of dating him...
laplongejr: > TL;DR I'm talking to a guy at school and found out that a friend from the year before had been sort of dating him...
After said friend told you they weren't dating? Are you sure it's a friend?
Breakfast1sgod: Yeah idk but I've decided to go after him anyway :)

1661158026 | 1661192418 | t3_wuo7x1 | t5_2to41 | 25 | Mururro: TIFU by asking a guy to send me a picture of his dog
So I (17) have a friend (17M). We aren't super close nor do I feel fully comfortable around him but we text each other somewhat regularly. So when we met up around 3 weeks ago he told me about his dog having diabetic attack a few days prior but that he managed to raise her blood sugar and it was fine. After that he's gone on two different trips and during that time we only texted once and he was just telling me that it's been fun. Well yesterday I was laying in bed but couldn't fall asleep cause my neighbors were arguing so I made a snap about how annoying that was. He replied saying how it has to suck if it happens often. That's when I fucked up. I decided to remind him how one time he told me he'd certainly send me a picture of his dog cause the only one he's ever sent me was to dark to see anything. I said I was still waiting and if he wants to he can send it now. Then he replied saying he'd have to search for a picture in his gallery because the dog has passed away 3 weeks ago. I panicked and ended up saying that I was sorry and apologizing for asking. He said it's fine cause how could I have know. All my friends I've talked to about this situation also say I didn't do anything wrong. I want to make a proper apology but I don't want him to think even more about it so I really don't know what to do. I still feel like I really messed up and was hoping to maybe get other people's thoughts on the situation.
TL;DR I asked a friend to send me a picture of his dogs, instead he told me his dog passed away 3 weeks ago.
AcrobaticSource3: I thought this was going to end in confusion and a dick pic, but the story is much sadder
Well_now_im_hard: Awwww, look at that little guy all limp and lifeless.

[deleted]
jello-kittu: I suppose you could apologize and then say you can usually smell cat owners too? I mean tact is great and all but you were just trying to be helpful.
I think if I was the manager I'd have a lot of trouble keeping a straight face. While I listened to someone who reeked of ferret complaining that you identified her stank correctly. Me being me, I'd have made it worse.
PuzzledLight: People are too sensitive. 100% there has been conflict in her social circle over this. Possibly with her romantic partner. Either way there's been dispute over her pets' smell, and she straight up doesn't understand the concept of nose blindness.
She can't smell it so whoever has called her out musk be lying. Including OP!
Old_Man_Bridge: Exactly this. Her whole point about having a shower is completely moot if someone can still tell that she’s a ferret owner. People are way to sensitive!
jello-kittu: Even if her body is clean, every single article of her (absorbent) clothing resides in a space scented by ferrets.
Old_Man_Bridge: Yup.
Are ferrets really worth all the trouble?!
hey--canyounot_: No, they are fucking adorable and hilarious but so are cats and dogs.
Old_Man_Bridge: Exactly. So get at cat and/or dog and don’t lose any friends or get spat on by strangers in the street. It’s win-win.
secondtaunting: I had an altered ferret. She had a smell, but with regular bathing she was fine. This was like thirty years ago. But man! That was a fun pet. It’s like a cat on crack.

So like a week ago I was crossed out of my mind and through a desperate attempt at self improvement and I’m guessing pure delusion I delete Snapchat and write myself I note begging myself not to redownload it, the next morning I read the note and decide to roll with it for a while at least since snap is kinda annoying I don’t really meet anyone there and group chats are annoying asfuck. So I decide to communicate with everyone through Instagram and calls this isn’t really a problem since I just started working full time to save for collage (taking a year off) and don’t have time to see people that much so for about 4 days there’s no problems then one of my friends (let’s call him John) picks me up and we go to the pot store and go around town doing the shit I need to get done on my day off and I run into some people I know and they appearently didn’t know I left snap and were giving me urgent messages. I decide I better download it so a few days later or 20 minutes ago I redownload it and when I log on my phone auto fills the password and username of John (probably from him logging onto it from my phone when his was dead or something) we are generally pretty close so I figured it would be funny to hop on his account and send weird messages to people I know and kinda fuck around and then tell him I have access to his account and he should change his password. So I go on and last person he’s messaging is a girl I used to know (not sure what we were so just assume a complicated mess, and another one of my close friends had a similar experience with her and we both kinda just know here as the girl we are both glad we never slept with) so I’m kinda curious but I control myself and log off and go to my account but the whole thing made to curious so I went back and looked if there was any message history and there was a fuck ton I really didn’t wanna read through it but I saw my name so I read a few paragraphs and I see them and they were basically flirting like really fucking hard. Important detail is John has a girlfriend so now I’m kinda conflicted on what I should do or even if I should do anything.
TLDR; went on my friends snap and think he’s planning to cheat on his gf
Beneficial_Ad2561: if you tell YOUR friends GF ..then you are breaking major codes here bro.
InternationalBad7044: Was never planning on doing that when I said I don’t know what I should do I was more thinking confront him about it, I’m probably just gonna ignore I ever saw it though

1661163843 | 1661177568 | t3_wupvia | t5_2to41 | 51 | L0WEffort: TIFU by watching extremely graphic videos
This was actually yesterday but my head feels like it’s up my @ss cos of this. I found myself on a page where people were sharing a lot of gruesome videos. Stuff that isn’t allowed on your mainstream platforms.
I love true crime documentaries, all I wanted was to find out a little more. After the first vid it felt like my mind shut down. It didn’t feel real. It was like watching a slasher movie but then seeing the victims face on tabloids and knowing that it’s real just made my stomach turn.
I don’t know why I didn’t just stop there, why I went and dug around, why I stayed in that page for so long. Watching video after video of monstrous acts done by humans towards others and to themselves.
I don’t think I’m allowed to go into any detail of any of these videos but it was horrific.
I was kinda glad that I reached the end of the page but at the same time it felt like a first hit of a drug. Not pleasant at all but the urge to be disgusted, shocked and terrified is still there. It’s haunting. I’m not sure if I even got much sleep.
A lot of them keep replaying in my head and they’re nothing like any of the gore movies.
I don’t think I can tell anyone in my life about this either… I mean it’s just so f*cked up. Most messed up thing is that I feel like I could push myself more, see what really gets under my skin. Maybe I should just get myself into therapy…
TL;DR: watched messed up vids, feel traumatised but I almost want to see more.
Random_Guy_47: I recommend paying a visit to r/eyebleach
North_Owl8536: No, major Haram alarm ringing
Random_Guy_47: No the alarm should be ringing when you see r/ eyeblech.
That's the one you don't want to click on.
I broke the link when I typed it for good reason.
North_Owl8536: I have been there once, saw the Funkytown video, and went into breakdown
nunrai: As a 13 year old, I'm not affected by the gore I watch daily, but later in my life i will probably regret it. At least i get a kick out of it.
North_Owl8536: Wtf 13 and enjoy the kick!?!?!!
nunrai: I promise im not a edgy teen lol
North_Owl8536: Idgaf if you edgy, how tf do you enjoy that shit
nunrai: Its just curiousity mixed with emptiness
North_Owl8536: 😦
nunrai: It's good in a way because I dont want to die anymore, because I have seen the trauma that people around you go through.
North_Owl8536: 😦 (still shock)
nunrai: Why? I's a good thing

So there I was running errands with my husband. I'm a former teacher but now work in a different industry and I realized one of my former students was working as a clerk at our bank. We visited a while and then had to go.
Our next stop was the grocery store. I'm in produce picking out veggies when my husband points out that our daughter's girlfriend is also shopping there. This is strange because our daughter's girlfriend is supposed to be traveling abroad right now. We ask her what she's doing home and she tells us her trip fell short because of a family emergency wedding which seems strange but we shrug it off.
We leave the grocery and my husband says he needs to stop one more place to renew one of his work licenses. It makes no sense to me but I say sure. We wind up at this massive office building and he's called to another room to take a test. I wait then decide to use the restroom.
I wander the hallways forever until I find one then I sit down on the toilet. I am on a new medication for a neurological condition and it dawns on me that everything going on in the day has felt strange and otherworldly. I remember one of the side effects to look out for is if it starts to feel like things aren't real.
I send my husband a text telling him I think the meds are messing with my head and I'm in the bathroom so if I'm not in the lobby when he gets out just wait for me.
I pee. As I'm peeing, the stall door swings open and my husband is standing there.
He asks "Are you peeing?"
I ask "What?"
He asks "Are you fucking peeing right now?"
That's when I wake up, realize it was all a dream, and I am big spooning my husband as I pee on his back.
Happy Monday!
TL:DR dreamed I was peeing. I was really peeing. Peed on my husband.
RedemptionXCII: I feel like this is most, if not all bed wetting scenarios go.
Admittedly I've done the same thing multiple times from a young child till I turned 20.
I suffer from sleep paralysis too, so I'm very quickly able to realize when I'm in a dreaming state soni don't lose my marbles in those situations. Every time I dream, and I'm about to go to a bathroom I realize that I'm dreaming and force myself to wake up.
It's crazy but I've never had a better pee in my life than in those dreams lmao. It happens though.
ConfidentFruit58: Peeing in your sleep is 100% the best pee I have ever experienced. I feel like it has something to do with being completely relaxed, but then you wake up in a panic, haha.
someguy7734206: The relaxation is one reason I believe peeing sitting down is better even if you're a guy.
Squigglepig52: I dunno. Peeing while standing is pretty nice.
thatdlguy: Depends on the situation. Already naked and can just flop down? Sit down. Wearing 2 shirts and dress pants? Easier to just go through the zipper and stand
PhobicBeast: you wear 2 shirts???
thatdlguy: Dress shirt, undershirt

Today, I lost all my savings to my business investment. I'm already 27 years old with only 1500 pesos on my bank account. 0 savings coz I invested my money to a business where I don't have a knowledge, Yes its my fault I already knew it. There's nothing to blame, only me.
I can't move, it's hard to breathe, It's so painful. My head is now shallow, I can't even cry. idk what im feelin right now while typing these my hand is so shaky I can't believe my 6 digits savings lost in a month feels like all my 5 years of saving got wasted in a blink of an eye.
And now I'm going back from the start, and from the scratch. I'm tired.. But I can't stop here. I know someday my hard work will pay off. But what I'm feeling right now is different this is the first time i feel this kind of sadness + disappointment.
TL;DR: DO NOT INVEST ON THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH.
IndyPoker979: You're 27. You have a long ways to go.
If you aren't anchored to your location consider moving to a more lucrative area.
You'll be fine. Sorry you got burnt but just keep on moving forward!
blurryface028: I'm already in the CBD in my country..
ShinyJacket9875: it means going OFW or migrating. and I'm guessing you invested in Axie and is from the Ph
blurryface028: Not axie, I tried futures in Binance and got liquidated.
Plus I have this small store with modern lightings. and The factory we're ordering got closed. and I got scammed by my partner.

1661170701 | 1661171532 | t3_wus498 | t5_2to41 | 7 | M12XD: TIFU for getting in a motorcycle accident
I'm a 15 years old male, today i fuked up by going to throw the trash in a trash bin thats not very far from our house, i was able to go on foot but i like to go with the motorcycle cus its the only time i drive, today when i went to the trash bin, i decided to go another one that wasnt very far but was further than the one i usually go to.
So...I went threw the trash and on my way back, mind u i was only going about 35/30 km/h i saw a car passing from the road from my right to left, i started braking and this is where it all went south, from some reason when i braked the motorcycle fell down with me on it the the car hit both of us (the car was braking too so it wasn't a very serious hit), now my motorcycle wasnt badly broken, only the transmission paddle that broke and is refusing to move, the problem is me and the person's car
I am badly injured both my knees heavily wounded, they feel like absolute hell, and my elbows and my waist are injured too, they are not wounded as much as my knees but they still hurt very bad, I'm in an amount of pain i never felt before, and my dad wants to disown me, my mom and siblings don't know yet but if my mum knows i will never see social media for my entire life, so what can i do now?
TL ; DR : I'm in my house having a traumatizing amount of pain
Maddoggacino: You say the problem is the car, but there is mention of any damage you WILL need to pay for. You also ask what you can do. Here’s some tips:
1. Man up and own your decision that led to this FU;
2. Quit whining about how much pain you are in, thankfully all you seem to have is some scrapes and bruises; and
3. Don’t be stupid in the future and do it again.
M12XD: All damage had been paid for with my money, one of the reasons i came here WAS to whine about my pain since i am after all a child, or a minor to be precise
The damage cost was 1000k m.a.d(100 euros)

1661171826 | 1661195310 | t3_wusicg | t5_2to41 | 12 | Kuchisabashi: TIFU by bragging about having sex
I (16M) thought I was bisexual and got with a boy who was also 16 after a few weeks of talking via Snapchat. We both showed interest in each other however he showed much more in than I did with him. He wanted me to meet his best friend (16F), so we did and it was great, until I went back to my house at around 5PM. I'd been out all day and hadn't told my overprotective mum that I was going out. Now, I decided to come clean and tell her I was with my boyfriend. She clearly was suprised to hear that I was dating another boy but I didn't think anything of it. Until she noticed the hickeys. There were a few on my neck which I had forgotten about and she clearly was pissed off about it. Anyway, cut to half an hour later and I decide to go back out and my mum out of nowhere messages me saying she locked the doors because of how disrespectful I was being to her by not telling her when or where I was going out. So, I decided I could probably stay at my boyfriend's house that night and went over to his. However, his parents disagreed and said I had to leave by 10:30PM. This is where I fucked up. I decided not to bother any one out of my house to let me in and avoid awkward conversations about my sexuality, so I asked if he would let me stay round at one of his friends. Reluctantly, he agreed to ask his best friend if I could stay at hers. She said it would be fine however when I arrived at her house we went straight up to her room. I clearly wasn't allowed to stay over in her room as her mother when she found out I was in her room kicked both of us out of her house. I don't know why she didn't just kick me out but she kicked her out too. So, she decided we could go to her Uncle's house because this had happened before and it worked last time. So, we walked round to his house and he let us in. We explained the situation and he said it was fine. Now, he said we would have to share the sofa, which I thought would be fine. Until she came down in just a shirt and thongs underneath as we were both drenched from the rain whilst walking. When he went up to bed I took my shirt off and my jogger bottoms and decided to sleep in my boxers. For 10 minutes she complained she was cold and she then asked me if she could lay next to me to warm up. I said it was fine and we ended up spooning. Not to my surprise I got a pretty big boner and she clearly noticed too as she asked what was digging into her ass. I decided to say it was my hand and she just said "yeah, sure it is" and then she proceeded to back up into my. After alot of teasing and both of us being extremely horny we ended up having sex and we both said we wouldn't tell anyone about it so as not to upset my then boyfriend and her bestfriend. I did an awful job at keeping it quiet as I was proud to lose my virginity and which I found out a few days later that I took hers also. Anyway, I ended up bragging about not being a virgin to my best mate and he then ended up asking who and I decided to tell him when, how and who. He didn't seem to care until I fucked up by laughing and messaging her saying "You pulled ... 🤣" and she messaged him saying what is he on about but I believed him that he did. Now, here comes the true fuck up... Kyle then asked her if we had shagged and she said we hadn't and asked where he got that from and he said I told him but he wouldn't say anything. Instead of just telling the truth, no she decides to lie her ass off and say I just had a wank in the morning while she slept. Now, a lot of people think I am a pervert whereas some of my mates believe me. However, me and my boyfriend broke up due to me figuring out I wasn't into guys which made this a whole lot worse for me as she says I'm only saying it because I broke up with him. I think I did fuck up myself but am I really the one to blame for this?
TL;DR I (16M) got with a lad I met off Snapchat (16M) who lives close to me and met his bestfriend. I got kicked out of my house due to my mum thinking i was disrespecting her and i ended up sleeping with his bestfriend (16F) at her Uncle's house and then bragged about it to my friends. The story was twisted because she lied to cover it up so as not to hurt her best friend and I am now known as a pervert to some people as she said I had a wank whilst she slept.
pr0jektile: Word of advice: There's still quite a bit of baggage for women and girls around being sexually active. They get shamed for it quite a bit and while you may want to "brag", she will probably much appreciate you not. This residual puritan expectation for women still won't go away.
Being more discrete about your experiences will open more doors for you with people who are maybe into you but would otherwise avoid hooking up because they worry about it getting out and being judged for it.
Kuchisabashi: Oh, I see. But, was I entirely in the wrong for telling one person about it who I trusted? Also, I don't see why she would have gone all that way to make it out that I was lying about it just so as not to be embarrassed or people finding out.
gastrognom: >Also, I don't see why she would have gone all that way to make it out that I was lying about it just so as not to be embarrassed or people finding out.
Well, that's none of your business to be honest. You agreed to tell no one but you did anyway.
Is your friend an asshole for not keeping your secret? Yes. Are you an asshole for not keeping the promise between you and the girl? Yes.
Kuchisabashi: Yeah but maybe she is an asshole for lying about it and making me out to be a pervert?
gastrognom: She wouldn't have to lie if you kept your agreement. Sure she could've just said 'no', but you put her in that situation.
Kuchisabashi: It's not like I backed her into a corner and gave her no other option. I told one friend who I trusted not to say anything and she decided to lie and say I had a wank whilst she slept rather than just saying it was true. I don't see how she had to lie about me like that. I understand I shouldn't have really told anyone but it was one person I really trusted not to say anything and even then they weren't trustworthy.
gastrognom: You and the girl agreed to keep it a secret. You didn't keep it a secret. That's where all of this starts.
Sure, be angry at her for lying if you want to, but you're the catalyst here. Obviously your friend fucked up as well, but you were the first.
Kuchisabashi: Yeah I get that but surely she shouldn't have lied like that about it just to avoid maybe embarrassment or to keep a friendship
gastrognom: I am not going to tell you that it's her fault, sorry.
Kuchisabashi: I understand that it's not entirely her fault, she initiated what happened and I complied out of stupidity and horniness. I know that I clearly broke our promise and my friend stepped out of line. But, I blame her for making me seem like a fucked up person because I told 1 person about it.

SgtNibbleTiddies: Wow. How do people like you manage to get up and dress themselves?
gullyfoyle777: Why are you being so fricken mean? This comment doesn't help op and you don't provide support, information or advice. Does your comment make you feel better about yourself? Wtf? Why even comment this at all?
SgtNibbleTiddies: Because OP deserves to know they're a fucking moron. If that was the only lesson that was learned from this whole event, it's a great one. Change.
OP posted it online so they obviously wanted some public perspective. You can be the loving shoulder that enables the same type of behavior.
gullyfoyle777: You do realize negative reinforcement doesn't work as well as positive? But even if you do, it won't matter because you're unlikely to alter your behavior.
SgtNibbleTiddies: Neither negative nor positive reinforcement are going to work every time and both should be applied when appropriate. It's sort of like differentiated learning styles in Education. You expose learners to all styles so that you identify what works best (or what the learner prefers).
There's a whole comments section of people telling OP that they did nothing wrong and reinforcing behaviors that are likely to get them killed (or worse) and you're here whining because I had the audacity to suggest that it's unfathomably stupid to get wasted and let a bunch of anonymous foreign dudes gangbang you.
Fruitlingus: You can argue semantics all you like but the energy you're giving off right now is that you like to bully rape victims and that's pretty fucked up. Just not sure why you're cool with coming across like that.
SgtNibbleTiddies: OP is in no way, shape or form a "rape victim". OP just made a bad decision that OP regrets and now OP is dealing with some unfortunate consequences.
You sound right on-par with OP. All you managed to do was prove you don't know what "semantics" means.
Fruitlingus: Look I'm not trying to argue with you, in fact I'll probably block you after responding here-- I'm just trying to give you an honest message.
Your comments are giving off the energy that you like to bully rape victims.
Options are:
1. Choose this hill and die on it (weird choice)
2. Delete your comments and reflect
Additional_Yogurt834: Jesus, the moral grandstanding on display here.
And what is it with you types and replying *and then* blocking? Do you think that it makes your point look better when you plug your ears and abuse Reddit's crap system to prevent the other person from responding?
In b4 "I don't like anyone highlighting my bad behaviour so I'm blocking you too!"

1661177079 | 1661180019 | t3_wuujfc | t5_2to41 | 331 | Unlikely_Condition92: TIFU by passing gas in the bathroom
Obligable this happened yesterday, but TIFU by farting in the bathroom. Throwaway bc my boys know my account and I’m not ready to tell them this story.
So there I was in the bathroom, getting ready to take a shower with my girl after the nightly activity…giggity. While waiting for the shower to warm up, the gf went to pee. As I was standing off to the side of the shower, I farted.
Now my farts aren’t usually bad, but we had eaten some very tasty Indian food and I’m lactose intolerant, so these were honestly the worst smelling farts I’ve ever had. And that’s when I saw/heard her start to gag. Me being the child of the relationship, I started to fake gag/throw up, which prompted my girl to say, “please don’t I’m going to throw up”. Bad idea as I like to toe the line, so I fake gagged again. It didn’t do anything and I didn’t actually want to see my girl vomit her butter chicken from our earlier meal.
However, once she composed herself and stepped into the shower, I farted again. The smell was somehow even worse than the first fart and it hit my girlfriend. It reminded me of the scene from SpongeBob where he walks into the theatre and you can see the smell go into the nose of one of the fish. Well this was apparently the tipping point for my girlfriend.
Next thing I knew, and to my horror, I watched my girlfriend projectile vomit orange into the shower, then again, and again….and then she promptly shut the curtains. So I went to her and started rubbing her back when the smell hit me. The horrible fart and horrible smell of vomit sent me into a frenzy.
In two quick steps I make it to the toilet and just start aggressively puking into the toilet, orange spray being violent ejected from my mouth to the toilet. At first I was like, no big deal, but then I started to see red. Another violent spray leaves my mouth, only this time it’s all dark red, pain and a burning sensation coming from my throat. I’m starting to freak out a little, another spray and more blood….
My girl has composed herself at this point and is now checking on me, honestly what a legend she is. She sees me freaking out about the blood, calms me down, but yet, I throw up again, no blood this time.
I honestly got scared for a second thinking I might need to go to the hospital, but since no more blood, stopped worrying about it.
Eventually made it into the shower(which had no hot water at this point), dried off, and went straight into bed like a traumatized kid. We did have a good laugh about it though, and I promised I wouldn’t ever weaponize my farts or fake gag again.
I can still see the orange spray leaving her mouth and I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
TL;DR: farted in the bathroom which made my girl throw up, which caused me to throw up blood.
youforgotitinmeta: you should absolutely go to the hospital, an esophageal tear can kill you. the blood will drain down into your stomach. you won't see it.
Unlikely_Condition92: I was afraid someone would say this, I’ll let my doctor know and if it happens again, will go to the big H
youforgotitinmeta: just do whatever the doc tells you to do, to be fair. if they say you're good, i'd take them at their word. but if the doc says something like "you should come in to get that checked out" get your ass in there. major blood loss ain't nothin' to fuck with.
Unlikely_Condition92: Yeah, v true. I appreciate you.
youforgotitinmeta: just lookin out, homie <3

1661179816 | 1661248351 | t3_wuvolo | t5_2to41 | 1,033 | thisismyjournaltbh: TIFU by telling my mum my sibling won’t last the year
preface: my (22) sibling (16) is in a psychiatric unit and has been for around 7 months.
obviously everyone in my family is understandably upset. my mum wanted to know why recent updates about my sibling’s care haven’t really bothered me (treatment being changed, not being allowed off the ward, physical health issues). i said that i didn’t really know and she kept pushing so i turned around and said “because i don’t think they’ll be here this time next year”. i then continued and said they’re not getting better and i’d be surprised if they made it to xmas. then i said “at what point is enough enough and you stop making this kid live just to make yourself feel better”.
i know i really crossed a line, my mum cried for hours after then asked if i really felt that way. i do but i shouldn’t have told the mother of a severely unwell teenager that. i’m too angry at my behaviour to tell my friends but i had to get it out. my sibling is also my best friend so maybe i’m protecting myself by being pessimistic but my mum didn’t need to hear that, should have kept that to myself.
TL;DR: told my mum that i don’t think my sibling will be here this time next year and made her cry for hours
ouzo84: Apologise for the way you said it and explain your reasons.
Your mum probably already knows it as well but has been trying to avoid it and the way you said it is going to hurt a lot.
You need to be there for each other now.
thisismyjournaltbh: thank you for this, we have talked and it’s okay, she understands my reasoning and i understand hers and we’ve decided she won’t push and i’ll tell her when i think she doesn’t want my answer
ViiDuquette: That's a very good boundary for you both to come to. Nice job.
LittleImprovementd: I am sorry your family is going through that. Mental health is incredibly hard to maintain. Good luck for you and your whole family.

TIFU by eating my neighbor's food
Me - - 43 year old married white lady, no kids. Best aunt ever haha. Neighbors: Y is Punjabi Sikh. Z is middle eastern (I will ask specifics when appropriate) but I'm guessing Muslim? They are mothers of charming kids! I would have gone into teaching if my career path was different. I love kids, and kids seem to think I'm funny and fun. So I've gained a relationship with both these families. It's really nice. Being close to your neighbors IMPORTANT.
The problem. They've both decided to start feeding me. At first I was stoked. Hand made Punjabi style dishes handed to me as I head out the door. Huge plates of rice with spiced chickpea and some sort of meat. Pumpkin curry. Eggplant who knows what that was give me more!
Well now I'm worried. Like I've accidentally booked two dates at the same time and I don't want either one to know I'm seeing the other one. Hahaha. I don't want them to think I'm hanging out with other moms!
Ps I'm not a total letch, I made chocolate chip cookies for both families last night after doordashing.
TL:DR Two different moms have been feeding me and I don't want them to think I have a favorite.
PlantaSorusRex: Why cant you be friends with both? Or introduce them and yall can all hang together. I dont see why this is an issue
vanity1066: I'm sure I could. They've been neighbors as long as I have though. Maybe they don't like each other? Not my place ya know. I think they may have cultural differences that I'm not ready to wade through.
[deleted]: Their differences should not be your differences though especially if you get on with them both!

Granted this was not today but last night. This guy at work was taking about it and how it made him physically sick to watch. Being the horror fan I am I made to sure check it out when I got home. The fact that it was apparently pulled from theaters before release due to its content made me even more excited.
This was by far the most disturbing movie I have ever seen and I frequent many NSFW subreddits. No spoilers. It’s a found footage pseudo-documentary about the team investigating a house that was discovered to have a bunch of video tapes recorded from a serial murderer in New York. The bad acting made seem even more real. My roommate and I basically watched in stunned silence for the duration. If you like horror movies I highly recommend 10/10. However it will leave you questioning humanity for a while after. I was barely able to sleep last night. You can find it on prime and paramount+
Tldr: watched a terrifying movie and I think it gave my ptsd.
DannySaurusRexx: This was nothing, really. If you want more disturbing, watch "A Serbian Film" it's subtitled, however. That one f'd me up for a while.
JohnnyRico92: Ohhh know where I can find it?
DannySaurusRexx: I think if you search for it online, a few places are showing it. Otherwise, it's available to rent or purchase

1661185450 | 1661192547 | t3_wuy2mf | t5_2to41 | 23 | SoRedditHasAnAppNow: TIFU by almost burning my house down
In this story, the FU actually happened last week, and I learned about it two days later. Today, I'm telling you IFU.
>Time: 48 hours post FU
I was driving to pick up my toddler. While driving I was listening to the new Collective Soul album (whatever, I like them) and my wife kept texting me. Now, my car makes a huge deal of every single text message. If shuts off the audio, displays a message that says, "New Text Message," and doesn't let you actually read the message.
This was annoying me because I was trying to enjoy my tunes so I decided to call her to find out what's up and put an end to the messages. It was literally nothing of consequence (actually, I don't remember what it was all about).
Finally, with the nothing burger addressed I was free to soak in my new tunes. Not two minutes later, she calls me back. I debated declining it, but knew doing so would just create further disruption to my audio euphoria. So I picked it up. Her voice was firm and calm, but filled with anger.
>Wife: "I'm going to try really hard not to yell or swear right now"
>
>Me: "OK"
>
>Wife: "I just stepped outside and almost burned my foot on the back patio."
>
>Me: "What? How?" (it was a cloudy afternoon)
>
>Wife: "The barbecue was running on high. It was at 600. Two burners were on max. The outside cover is caked in white and the cladding on the house is hot enough to burn your hands"
>
>Me: "Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuu"
*record scratch*
>Time: day of FU
So, it turns out I'm not that diligent. We have a natural gas barbecue, meaning that unless you turn it off, it doesn't turn off. If the wind blows out the flame, it's a problem. If a line ruptures, it's a problem. This is why we have a 2 step process to ensure the grill is off and covered.
On the day in question, my toddler wanted to help daddy cook while my wife was out. I put him with me while I tenderized the steaks, and carried him outside each and every time I managed the grill. After cooking, I carried him in one arm, the steaks in another arm, and left the cooking utensils outside for later cleanup.
Now, this is where the two step process comes into play, AND where I did the FU. Yes, I forgot to turn off the grill. BUT, when I cook on the grill I ALWAYS come in right after and loudly announce, "Alexa, remind me to check the grill in 10 minutes." I do this to give it a scrape with the plastic brush after it is cooled (I use a wood one when hot) and as a double check. On this day, however, my kid was messing with the Echo so I had unplugged it and moved it. I didn't set a reminder to double check.
To make matters worse, when putting the kids to bed that night, I had asked my wife to cover the barbecue. She didn't want to go outside, so naturally she didn't. I'm not blaming her at all - this was totally my FU - I am just pointing out that we could have noticed the FU 5 hours later instead of nearly 50.
>Time: Present Day
Our house still stands, and I got insanely lucky. I'll be finding ways to make this one up to my wife before I grill again. And I'll be doing a bit of research to see what kind of damage I may have done to the grill before lighting it again, but on initial inspection it appears to be no worse for wear except for loss of seasoning on the cast iron.
TL;DR I left the barbecue on for 48 hours straight. On high. And it would have burned a lesser house down.
Gogo83770: You got so lucky... Damn.
SoRedditHasAnAppNow: Insanely. Lucky because we somehow got away without so much as an ember (our bedroom is directly above where we have the grill, so a nighttime fire would be extra dicey) and lucky that my wife is still talking to me.
Gogo83770: My husband and I both have ADHD.. but I'm usually the one that does the remembering.. I'd be pretty pissed at you.. but I'd also just be glad that nothing terrible happened.
SoRedditHasAnAppNow: I guess, your welcome for your ammunition if your husband ever says, "for the 100th time, yes I turned off the oven."
Gogo83770: He doesn't get upset at me for checking.. he knows he forgets.. I do most of the cooking anyway. Sometimes I forget to turn off the warming burner, because I'm exhausted.. that's happened a few times since getting the new stovetop.. no kitties were burned from accidentally jumping on the warm cooktop.

Was he noticing you missing work?

iampatmanbeyond: I think it was more the lying about how much you played then proving you've been lying by playing so well not so much out playing him. Sounds like he really likes golf and wanted you to play with him instead you lied the entire summer then show boated how much you lied
mcbelden: Depends. He doesn’t watch my every move. If I didn’t tell him I’d been golfing a lot, does that mean I lied?
iampatmanbeyond: Also you did lie you point it out in your post that you go driving twice a week then tell your dad you've only went two total times
mcbelden: Good point.
itsyourmomcalling: Yeah, I'd even expand on this and that it's you play so much but never asked him to come swing the clubs with him... It sounds like it's a fairly importang hobby for dad and yet you have yet to play a round with him until now?
This is kind of the opposite of the old "parent is too busy with work to spend time with their kids" trope. You said he's been trying to get you to go for 10-ish years, your gf gets you into it, you've been having mutilple games a week with I'm assuming your gf, friends and pick ups... but never once your father?
If this was an AITA post I'd say ya were. He's not really hurt about losing, or that you're good from playing. I think he's hurt you never reached out to him to play

My dog is ten and I know it's gonna happen one day, but I'm not going to be ready
klimb75: It's no fun. He was pushing 16yo and had a good life though. Not my first rodeo... do yourself a favor, when you first think it might be time, take them to the vet for a checkup and tell them. They do this all the time and can give you advice to not prolong suffering
whiskeyjane45: That's the plan. To give him the best life possible, until prolonging it is no longer the kind thing
He got a new hip last year and got a new lease on life. It was amazing what a difference it made. I'm calling up this week to make plans to do the other hip in December. He's going to be so happy

[deleted]
NekoKYN: This sucks.
I can't call myself a nudest but I'm naked at home most of the time. If I'm in the garden, I usually wear panties but that's about it. It's just more comfortable. A lot of people usually wouldn't have a problem with this.
I think the term nudist has bad connotations but you didn't fuck up. You just didn't find the right person. Being your true shelf shouldn't come with negative back lash when it's something as harmless and legal as doing what makes you comfortable.
Please don't take this experience badly. There's a lot of people out there who don't think this is a bad thing, and as long as its in legal situations, don't care about being naked.
Just do you, keep looking. A lot of us just don't care. Be yourself and find yourself a good partner that'll accept and love the way you live your life.
Kayback2: Well put.
My wife and I are far more comfortable naked as well
We will make allowances for temperature (our houses aren't that we'll insulated) and having our kids around. When we're home alone and it isn't freezy and depending on the size of fire even sometimes then we're naked.
OP : You'll find someone who's willing to accept it for you, or is not bothered by it themselves, and into you. Don't worry too much and don't hide who you are. That leads to resentment in the relationship.

1661195359 | 1661196731 | t3_wv29mu | t5_2to41 | 21 | EmperorCrimson1: TIFU by getting my first BJ
So this happens not today but 2 Weeks ago…
I recently started trying to date so I(m20) meet M(W19). We get along well but I soon figured out she wants only F+ while I was looking for Something serious.
While we meet she trier to kiss and hug me and while I thought about maybe going casual with her it was pretty obvious this is not for me… and she figured it out as well.
So she ask me if I want a Bj knowing this won’t end in F+. Here come the FU
Normally I’m Pretty reserved about this kind of think and I want to save my Kiss and First Time for someone special. And I denied this Kind of offer but I‘m a horny Idiot so I agreed to my first Bj and what do I say it was not as aspected. I didn’t feel good and she used to much teeth. I always thought I would cum as fast as possible but I didn’t cum at all. Just when I used my hand.
So now I got bad Bj what I always thought would be like a dream and feel like shit.
I always thought I would cherish something special for someone special. Now I’m here and feeling cheap…
Ps: I always was nice to her and told her it was amazing, but it wasn’t. I just didn’t want to hurt her
Tldr: Got my First Bj because horny. Wanted to save something like this for someone special and now I feel like I betrayed that idea.
Azatarai: Gotta slay a few dragons to find the princess mate, Its no big deal.
The best are from people with experience but it doesn't sound like you want to go cougar hunting either. Don't worry about it so much and just go with the flow.
EmperorCrimson1: Yeah I now know I’m not meant for something casually the problem is I know what you mean most women prefer man with experience…
Eraevn: Can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs. Experience is good, yes, but communication and comfort will go a long way. Experience with one partner might not translate to another. If both parties are comfortable with each other and able to communicate with one another, it will be far more enjoyable to both.
(Note: this is more applicable towards relationships than for random hookups, random hookups will give you a baseline, but won't necessarily translate well to a regular thing.)

Well it wasn't today but it was in January when I was picking my classes for the school year. During that time I was a junior worrying about my GPA because I didn't finish the previous grade too well. So a couple of months we picked our classes for senior years. At the moment I was less intimidated than honors classes so I was like I'm gonna change one of those classes into a honors. Until our school forced us to pick honor level for the required classes. I went to my counselor for help to pick my classes and she persuaded me to take the classes I was interested in. All of them was either honors or advanced placement. When I notice that I was like okay well I will have to put in a bunch of work for this. Until she told me to take an.... IB MYP CHEMISTRY 🧪 class because she told me it would look better on college applications.
Fast ⏩ forward I'm trying to change my class on the school website until I see these words "Schedule changes based on personal preference will not be granted."
TL;DR : TIFU by choosing an IB chemistry class for the senior year. I Need to graduate. I'm dead meat.
windexguy369: Chemistry is rough. I was in the exact same boat you are in right now when I was a senior. It’s hard but try to approach with a better mindset. It helped a lot for me and while it may not help for you, just try. I made it only because I got a lot of help and put in the effort. This isn’t bad at all. Only a FU if you make it one. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for extra help.
Material-Canary-5039: Thank you

1661198310 | 1661266931 | t3_wv3hit | t5_2to41 | 65 | SoftJigsaw: TIFU by asking for a conversation to hurry up
I'm really confused and want some advice. All fake names for this cause privacy. And quite unhelpfully, I don't remember the exact order of what happened but I'll do my best to give a truthful account.
So as of writing this, I (15F) am on the first day of my period (this is relevant.) For me, the first days are always the worst, and I am in a lot of pain and discomfort. My (33F) mother knows this.
She has been having relationship problems for a while with her current boyfriend. I don't know the full extent of it, but I do know he's been struggling a lot but, again, I don't know what with as I am not told about it. He left for quite a few days, and then a couple of days ago came back. I do know my 'attitude towards him' has been one of the reasons why he left, but as he is quite often provoking me, I am obviously going to have an 'attitude'. I admit I do swear at him a lot, but he has a habit of calling me a window-licker and a r-slur.
After I had finished eating my dinner 'P' told us to sit at the table so we did. There was some silence, with him not speaking while we started at him. This is where I may be the A-hole. I said 'with all due respect, please can we hurry this up because I'm in a lot of pain.' I wanted to be as polite as possible so that I would actually be listened to. Well this comment kick-started a whole drama. I don't remember his words exactly but he stormed off upstairs with my mother following him. There was some yelling, and I heard him leave.
My mum came back down and started yelling at me, saying 'you just had to open your mouth didn't you.' I argued back that I didn't tell him to stop talking, all I said was for this to please hurry up. She also said that I wasn't listening to him which I countered back with 'he wasn't speaking so I couldn't listen'
She went back upstairs after this and I heard her on the phone but I couldn't hear what was being said. After a short while she came back downstairs and said 'you just had to make that comment didn't you' . I don't remember what happened after that but she left to go on a drive soon after. I've been texting my friend about this and she says it's not my fault but agreed that I should post it here to see what others think.
I just know mum will twist my words around if she tells my nan about what happened and everybody believes her and if I try to explain what actually happened I'd get interrupted or nobody would believe me.
TL;DR. I asked a convo to hurry up and caused a whole backlash? Dunno what to call it
Edit: I've read all your comments and I wanna just say tysm I didn't think this would get read, it's all sorted now thankfully. Me and 'P' are getting on all right at the moment. I do wanna clarify that my mum does tell 'P' off when calling me names.
Incase you haven't been able to tell, I have no clue what I'm doing on Reddit tbh, and a TL;DR is really confusing 😅
Gilded-Mongoose: It’s not your fault, and it’s not a “right” or “wrong” situation here. There are a lot of imperfect people in this scenario and it looks like everyone is struggling with something. In a perfect world it with more secure, settled, and mature people (or in a healthier scenario):
1. Bf would have opened with what he wanted to talk about, especially if it was something important
2. Mom wouldn’t be in such a situation where she had to appease someone she’d brought into the household against you
3. (The less reasonable middle ground/less tense scenario): You’d be “”mature””* enough to read the room and have the patience to put off your discomfort enough to deal with whatever it was he wanted to say.
*(mature, meaning OLDER. Because again it’s not your fault, and you’re effectively still a kid surrounded by what seems like kind of impatient adults who are responsible for you, yet who are putting themselves a little bit more ahead of you than they should. That maturity comes with age and teens make decisions and cope with things in ways that adults don’t…and adults are supposed to understand that and guide, not react. From my armchair they’re not accommodating flexibly enough for a teen going through adolescent hormones & girl pains.)
4. The more reasonable/less intense scenario: or you’d have explained/conveyed how you’re feeling and said in more amiable terms said that you’d like to get back to your room. But even that comes with more age and maturity and experience and shouldn’t be fully expected in a teen’s household, much less a stressful one with new and less familiar parent figures.
5. In said better scenario, the adults would at most roll their eyes and/or emphasize that they have something important they need to say, and not judge you so harshly or emotionally, and try to impart the importance of patience or more social diplomacy. Bf did neither and your mom is in tough scenario of caring for you and finding her own comfort in a guy that’s not great for the household.
The biggest thing that I’m trying to illustrate is again that it’s a scenario if imperfect people, unfortunately - but nothing you do warranted such actual or anticipated blowback. Don’t blame yourself for whatever happens. And even though they SHOULD be more responsible, try not to blame your mom or her bf too much for this. Splitting it into right or wrong makes things brittle, and sometimes it helps to understand (or an extent) that sometimes people just suck. And we all screw up, some more than others - and that’s them in this situation and not necessarily you. They should do better being adults, and you will do better as time goes on in navigating scenarios to *get the outcomes that you want* as you get more experience. That’s the subjective reality, really - getting the best scenario, independent of perception of right or wrong.
This situation sucks, and I hope things get better. It might feel lien a FU but try not to put too much weight or too much thought in this scenario alone. Hope tomorrow’s better.
Ayowolf: lol wheres the tl;dr according to bot rules
Gilded-Mongoose: tl;dr: don’t worry be happy

1661197385 | 1661393335 | t3_wv33rh | t5_2to41 | 125 | norragthestupid: TIFU by trying to masturbate
So here's a little background for this story, I live in a 2 story house with a bathroom downstairs and 2 upstairs. I recently got diagnosed with COVID and have to stay home a couple weeks. So after a couple days I was feeling a little cheeky and decided to enjoy myself this morning
I grabbed all the stuff I needed and sat down on my toilet in my upstairs bathroom. I personally can't lay down on my bed or couch to pleasure myself because I'm to worried I might make a mess.so to compensate with that I yank in my bathrooms.
I was getting ready on the toilet, I had the video playing I had lotion on and when I leaned back on the toilet seat CRACK. I didn't have time to look back but all I felt was a ton of water soaking my back. I sat up and the toilet was destroyed, it was cracked everywhere and water was flooding my bathroom. I panicked and turned the water off and ran to get the mop I have to stop it from leaking into the hallway carpet. As I was mopping it up I bumped into the toilet and then I heard it again, CRACK I jumped back and the toilet tank just fell forward and shattered the bathroom tile. Now my toilet is decimated and there's water flooding my house.
I picked up the pieces of of broken toilet and threw it away. And then I finally managed to mop up all the water. I did a little extra cleaning for the carpet because I didn't want mold on mildew to grow in it. After finishing cleaning up my mess I went on my phone and called my dad to see what I should do. My dad is a plumber and he didn't seem to concerned. He just said to order a new toilet and he will come over later this month to help me install it.
After about an hour of work I sat on my couch and tried to watch a movie when I realized it, I was still horny. I just said fuck it and sat on my toilet about to jerk it dry when I heard it CRACK. You would have though I would have learned my lesson but I didn't. This toilet had the same fate as the upstairs toilets because of my hornieness.
I stopped the water and mopped it up but I didn't get rid of the broken toilet because I'm too tired and angry right now.
TL:DR I was horny and tired to jerk it in my upstairs bathroom, toilet exploded and had an hour of work to do. Tried to jerk it again and toilet exploded AGAIN.
PracticeAsleep: I'm afraid I don't understand this? Do you have a dick of iron you were beating it against the toilet? Are you sitting on it leaning back and jumping up and down as opposed to just letting the hand do the work? It's just all too confusing.
norragthestupid: Honestly, I also have no idea what happened I just sat down leaned back and boom.
Nathan-Stubblefield: The sequel to "Don't look up" will be "Don't lean back."

So I moved into college a few days ago and didn't have a roommate. I was like fuck yeah baby whole dorm room to myself this is chill. Next day I found someone else's stuff on the other half of the dorm room. I didn't mind, I wanted a roommate I guess anyway.
So I meet the dude, total stoner, he's cool as fuck. We immediately knew it was gonna be a good year, we were chiefing a THC cart for hours.
Here's where it all went wrong... I left my dorm while he was still in there to go hang with my girlfriend for a little bit. I was gone not but 45 minutes and I was going to bring my girlfriend to my dorm to meet him. I did the whole keys jiggle, talk a little bit, y'know just let him know I'm about to come inside in case he was doing anything "private." And oh boy he was. His bed faces straight ahead so I walk in and see his leg on his bed, I assumed he was just sleeping. I walked in farther and saw him going absolute fucking mad on his dick beating the fuck out of it. He had airpods in and didn't notice me so I just walked back slowly in shock. My girlfriend didn't walk in yet and was like what's wrong and I just said "holy fuck he's beating his dick."
&#x200B;
TLDR: Left my dorm room for a while. Came back 45 minutes later, "announced" that I was walking in "jiggling the keys, clearing my throat," and walked in on my new roommate I met 3 hours prior going absolutely X games mode beating his dick.
BigPhilly1985: The fact you didn't pull yours out and start beating set the tone for the year. You fucked the vibe all up. The only way to make this right is while hes sleeping one night, stand in the middle of the room and start pounding....vigorously, talkin Lotion everywhere and all...crying. you owe him this.
Quqidjs: r/suddenlygay
TheConboy22: It's not gay to fap at your new roommates motionless sleeping body. He's gay for sleeping like that.
Quqidjs: I mean he'd be essentially fapping to the sight of another guy, how is that not gay
USACreampieToday: Masturbating to another guy isn't gay. Hell, me and my bro have straight sex with each other all the time. We've shared the same bed for years, so sex is bound to happen. But it's not gay, we're just bros being bros.
Quqidjs: Still worthy of placing it under the r/suddenlygay subreddit but hey, that's just me. BTW r/usernamechecksout
throwawayzdrewyey: It’s not gay to help my bros off.
Quqidjs: Whatever, can I be a bro?
a_lit_bruh: My brother in Christ, are you new to reddit?
Phyrexius: Your brother was in Christ or is that some sort of spiritual thing... it's a gay thing isn't it...? Isn't it..?

TLDR at the bottom.
This happened on Saturday evening, technically isn’t only MY TIFU but I received all the blame, sorry for my typos and misspelling English isn’t my first language and im on my phone.
I was doing some mechanical work on my mountainbike right outside my home, I don’t have a proper space inside and no backyard or anything, so I had to get on work right on my entrance porch.
Me and My little brothers (now adults) have (had) a water turtle 🐢since 2012, he was always on his water tank and sometimes in the day my mom used to let him roam around the house, his size was quite big almost like 17 cm Long and 14 cm wide.
My FU was not putting attention to the turtle, and letting him scape my home, now everyone Is kinda mad and disappointed and blaming me for letting him run (or slowly walk) away.
For my defense I wasn’t the only one outside and first of all I didn’t let the door wide open in the first place
Now I’m sad because my turtle is gone 😞
TLDR: I was working outside my home and my turtle ran away
RandomFakeGuru: Heyy..i just wanna say your turtle can be found, don't worry
Mine was suddenly missing during a bathe (have multiple, 1 crawled away) and 2-3 weeks later was found and still alive in a room adjacent to the bathroom (idk how) with no food and water o.o
soyrendel: Thank you! I hope we can find him! I really hope he still around at my house, we already lost him for a few days when he was like 2 years old but we found him sleeping bellow the couch (we already look there) so I’m hoping the best
Thanks 🙏🏼
binmaster187: Maybe a good use for an air tag or other low powered Bluetooth tracker?

I (13 m) love my gf (13 f) more than everything, but like an idiot I uploaded to TikTok a video of her that she thought was embarrassing.
When she asked me about it I lied to he by telling her I didn't upload it and it was someone else, now she got a notification from TikTok stating that I was the one uploading it, and now she's angry at me and won't talk to me.
And I still went on with the lie and ask her friends what to do telling them I didn't upload it.
Now, I am so in with the lie that I can't justify myself.
I know what I did was wrong and I really regret it and don't know what to do.
I really love her and she's the most important girl in the world for me and I hurt her, I am crying while writing this.
So, people of reddit do you have any advice for me?
TL:DR I lied to my gf and I don't know what to do.
EDIT: we broke up 😕

1661203194 | 1661209689 | t3_wv5jei | t5_2to41 | 38 | GGPhilly: TIFU By Realizing I gave my Landlord my THC Vape Pen
Last week, my landlord arrived early in the morning at my apartment to do some minor repairs to my washer and dryer and the ceiling fan. Being half asleep, I threw my vape pen in my pocket, and forgot I put it in there. A few hours later, he called me and asked me to bring down a wrench set for him on the first floor. I grabbed the set, put it in my pocket, and went downstairs. Without thinking, I grabbed everything in my pocket and handed it to him not even realizing my fatal mistake. A few minutes later, he called me back down and thanked me for the tools but said "that's an interesting gadget you gave me" and I remarked that the wrench set was for jewelers and a bit rare. Fast forward to that afternoon, I can't find my pen anywhere. It wasn't until last night I realized his comment on the interesting gadget was actually a remark towards my vape pen. I checked the wrench set and the vape pen is not there nor is it anywhere in my apartment. He was supposed to come today and do some more repairs but he never reached out. I live in PA, have a MMC, and legally purchased everything on said pen, however, it is still a federal crime and is an evict-able offence. I now anxiously wait in limbo to see if my landlord decides to evict me or not. Happy Monday.
[**TL;DR**](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/wiki/flairs#wiki_tl.3Bdr) **I gave my landlord my vape pen by accident and now will probably get evicted**
&#x200B;
Update: Landlord was here today and let me know a package arrived for me but didn't mention anything about the pen or eviction. While I am really trying to stay optimistic here, I hope that he isn't getting the paperwork ready.
pyrohydrosmok: Yo. Tell him it's a fucking nicotine vape if he even asks. Jesus dude.
Alberta_Flyfisher: I'd use the same excuse except where I am, any legal canabis is labeled as such.
I prefer to take the stickers off mine so it's more like a nicotine pen but if OP didnt do that he's hooped.
What I don't get is how is it an eviction worthy offense? If it's legal, it should be no problem. It's not like OP was caught smoking/vaping in the apartment. That I could see, just like getting caught smoking cigarettes in a non smoking building.
But if it's legal and there is no evidence of vaping in the building I have a hard time seeing them getting evicted.
Plus even though the vape batteries are pretty cheap, I'd simply ask for it back. Was a mistake etc...
If the landlord was THAT concerned about it, I doubt they would have sent a text about it. They would just simply serve an eviction notice and leave it at that.
GGPhilly: According to rental laws in PA, and the lease, breaching a federal crime is an offense that can merit eviction. I guess I'll just have to wait this one out as I can't text him and be like, "hey, did I accidentally give you my weed vape?" lol
Alberta_Flyfisher: Oh man that sucks balls.
I feel for you. I hope it all goes well.

1661203716 | 1661500101 | t3_wv5r82 | t5_2to41 | 28 | oishii_sushii: TIFU by hosting a sleepover
I am so devastated, I've been crying for half an hour.
I live in a big city, so on weekends me and my family usually commute to our house on the countryside.
I am introverted, I hate going to my friends places and often excuse myself by saying I'm not in the city right now. But sometimes they manage to make me visit, and despite not wanting to go, I am often happy that I eventually turned up afterwards. Still, I am fine with it being the first and last visit.
During school, my two friends kept asking to do a sleepover at my house. They wouldn't stop, and after quite a while I told them "maybe during summer holidays..."
They remembered my words, and now, it IS summer holidays.
Tomorrow they will show up at 10am and stay until late afternoon the day after tomorrow. I've already tidied up my room and prepared snacks and bedsheets, but now I feel so insecure about the whole thing.
This house was my safe space, my wall protecting me, and now I feel like I'm going to be invaded, there is no place left to flee. I am so scared they won't like the smell of my house or think it's dirty or be bored. I've already made a list of things we could do but what if they didn't want to do that?
Also, I'm currently dealing with different medical problems such as stomach aches after eating and intense sweating and I don't want to smell bad infront of them or having to go to the toilet multiple times or appearing as gross.
And what if I'm getting nauseous? I'm scared of throwing up, but what if it happens tomorrow? What if THEY have to throw up?
I can't cancel the sleepover and I am sure tomorrow will turn out fine because they seem to not care about such things at all but right now I am panicking because I'm overthinking everything and the thoughts won't leave me alone.
I wish I didn't accept their request.
TL;DR:
I technically promised my friends to host a sleepover at my house outside the country and my introverted ass is panicking because I'm overthinking everything and my safe space is going to be invaded.
totcczar: Regardless of whether or not what you are anxious about is rationally likely to happen (it's not), your anxiety is real, and I'm sorry you're dealing with it.
*But*... here's the thing. You probably don't want to spend your entire life isolated from people. I'm not saying that, as an introvert, you won't *usually* want to be alone, but you probably don't *always* want to be alone. Part of the path to allowing yourself to sometimes share your life with people is this sort of situation: opening your home to friends.
And here's what's important: you *know* them. They are your friends. You *know* they want to visit - they begged for it. You *know* they won't care about specific plans and food and scents ad whatever - they are coming to visit *you*, not \[*insert some specific thing about your house or plans*\]. So this is an ideal way to venture out of your comfort zone in the hope that it might let you do a bit more next time, when you see that all turns out well this time.
Also, I just want to reiterate that these are your friends. If one of them mentions that they're thirsty, it doesn't mean they were literally dying of thirst and you forgot to constantly ask them if they wanted to drink. If you're all eating \[food x\] and they also mention they like \[food y\], it doesn't mean you messed up by serving the wrong food. You aren't psychic, and neither are your friends, and no one expects anyone to perfectly do everything. So stop worrying if this or if that, because they *will let you know* if there's an issue and they *will let you know* if they need something.
Just be sure they know: where the toilet is, where they can get water, etc., and probably when they can expect to eat, and *to just ask if they need anything.*
This will be a fun time, and I suspect your friends will "force" you to actually enjoy yourself. Please understand: I empathize with your anxiety. But you and I both know that it's rooted in your own fears, and not reality, and even if *everything you worry about* goes horribly wrong, they will *still* enjoy the visit.
oishii_sushii: Thank you for your reply.
Its true, I dont want to be isolated for the rest of my life. But my fear of messing up infront of others keeps me from enjoying our friendship to the fullest.
My social battery often runs low, but often I still enjoy the time with my friends. In school, there is enough that could go wrong by me smelling weird or feeling nauseous, but I can save myself by going home after classes.
At home I feel responsible for everything that could go wrong. I know they wont notice the small amount of dust at the floor, I believe they wont question the variety of food at home, but thinking about possibility of one of them experiencing an unpleasant situation in my house when I am responsible for it just makes me shiver in fear.
I once had a friend over, my best friend to be excact, and it wasnt the first time she stayed at my place, but knowing I cant fulfill her expectations when she wanted to do more than just watching movies and going for walks did it for me.
I believe she still enjoyed the visit, but I dont know what she was thinking when she kept playing on her phone and asking what to do now.
Yes, she is my best friend and she wouldnt talk behind my back, but maybe the situation it left an uneasy feeling bout my place.
Haaahh I wish I could jump forward in time to skip the visit, I am sure it wont turn out to be bad but all I can do now is trying to make the sleepover the most enjoyable I can for all of us so they wont feel like a burden.
totcczar: You know, it's not too late to ask them to bring some games - then they get/have to decide what to play, so that's one less worry - if they *each* bring a game, that should take *hours* to play through, right?
But regardless: they're going to have a good time and/or a relaxing time. They don't need/want every minute planned. They won't think they're burdens. And they won't think you're a bad host. I know you *know* this but can't *believe* it deep down. Good luck in the time before they arrive, because I know you're nervous, but I'm sure the time they're there will be fun for all!
oishii_sushii: They will show up in one hour, I feel distressed but a bit better than yesterday. It feels like through whatsapp texts that they are thrilled about it but are being too excited, I can't handle all that energy..
They do bring some games, but some of them are for Wii and I hope my console still works.
I guess I'm gonna drink a cup of tea before they arrive to calm my body and mind down.
bobstay: Hey, how did it go?
oishii_sushii: When they arrived, I was kind of relaxed, just like when I would meet them in school. We went to my grandmas house and were playing with my aunts dogs for about an hour. Then, my aunt drove us to my house (about 10 mins away, its a small village).
I showed them around and they made comments about how they hadn't expected the house to look so modern and stylish which made me feel really proud. I feared they would be disappointed after seeing my room, its really small, but they didn't mind sleeping next to eachother on the floor (ofc on matresses). We started playing different games, and after a while we started cooking for dinner. We made a pizza and watched movies until 1am.
Unfortunately, as expected I got a really bad stomach ache after dinner (I still dont know why, either stress or because of the food). I tried to hide it and I think they didn't noticed, but it was really painful moving around so I was glad we kept watching movie after movie.
Before going to bed, we watched the stars outside. I think that was the best part of the whole visit. We just stared into the nightsky and talked about useless stuff, but I really enjoyed it.
In the morning, the ache was almost gone. Then, things kind of escalated. I despise those peel-off face masks and those slimy pads to prevent eye bags, they feel gross and the smell makes it worse. They tried to convince me to try it out and I kept telling them I didn't want to. Then they proceeded to tickle me to surrender. They wouldn't stop, so I locked myself into the bathroom. After a while I came out again and luckily they didn't try to convince me again. To be honest, I was kind of angry at them but I understand that they just wanted to do fun things just like every girl would do at a sleepover, it wasn't my thing though.
We continued playing The Settlers Of Catan, and even though the one friend has never played the game before, she won hands down.
My aunt came over for a visit and brought one of the dogs, so we did a little walk and took the dog with us. It was really relaxing, we went to a park nearby where the good boy took a bath in the river next to the path. After an hour we returned and then drove back to the town.
So overall it was a nice time, but I want to go to the doctor before ever hosting a sleepover again, I didn't enjoy it as much because of the stomach ache.
Surprisingly, the time with my friends wasn't as bad as expected, they were really relaxed and liked playing games as much as playing outside, so I could bring up any idea and they would just go with it. (Except the face mask thing, that was scary)
Thank you guys for helping me out, even though I couldn't change the situation, I did enjoy the visit, and your kind words made me sleep a bit better the night before.
bobstay: Glad to hear it went largely well. Having done it once, I'm sure it'll be less stressful for you next time. I think it's good to realise that these are your friends, which means they *like* you, so they're not going to judge or criticise every little thing in your house :)

TIFU by not checking my Netflix settings for 4 years
For the last few years I've been very disappointed in Netflix. I've got the 4k tier but the quality was always consistently quite bad. Amazon Prime and Disney+ looked far better, and I just assumed it was due to Netflix's poor encoding and bitrate in their content. It annoyed me enough to the point where I generally wouldn't watch stuff on Netflix often. Hell, I even bought movies on blue ray if they were on Netflix because I couldn't stomach the poor quality.
Anyway, I was recently going through the settings to see if I could disable autoplay (kinda could, kinda couldn't?) and I spotted probably the biggest fuck up I've made in a while.
My profile was capped to Standard Definition.
No idea why, but I must have set it years back. So for the last 4 years, I've been paying extra for the 4k tier but essentially receiving the quality of the lowest cost tier. That's a lot of wasted money with nothing to show for it.
The good news is at least now I'm watching TV in 4k and the difference is night and day.
TL;DR: Netflix was set to 480p for 4 years while I was paying for the most expensive 4k tier.
because_of_ghosts: To be fair, I like having physical media. Especially because even when you buy a movie digitally (from Amazon, etc) you don’t actually own it, you’re just licensing it. Amazon only owns what they produce. Everything else is just a licensing agreement and if/when that agreement ends, if the content is no longer available on Amazon it’s no longer available to you.
MukkeDK: Wait till you find out how modern cpus can no longer decode 4K blueray..
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-intel-chips-wont-play-blu-ray-disks-due-to-sgx-deprecation
because_of_ghosts: Doesn’t effect me or roughly 50% of PC users. What with AMD being a thing.
TheOptimisticParrot: Fun fact, intel has around a 70-75% market share, although it is dropping as AMD rises.
Not sure how that works when you narrow it down to recent purchases of modern CPUs though.
because_of_ghosts: Cool story bro. Tell it again?
dcreeper2: ELI5 Please
because_of_ghosts: It’s just that persons way of pushing back when I pointed out his fact was useless. Same as the more recent comment. Doesn’t use computers so googled how many people use AMD vs Intel and had to come back to make sure they had the last word. It’s tiny-penis syndrome.
Too busy looking up stats to try and win arguments to realize how many computers are in office settings without a blu ray drive, or the fact that most people I’ve come across don’t even have optic drives in their machines, let alone watch a physical movie on it.
Tl;dr that person wanted the last word and went and looked up a statistic they *thought* shored up their argument.
TheOptimisticParrot: Who crawled up your ass and died? What argument are we even having? You know I'm not the original poster right?
I just saw your comment and was curious to the actual market share and figured someone else might be interested so posted it with zero snark or malice.
You've got some issues, maybe reflect on why you're so wound up about this.
because_of_ghosts: I’m not talking about OP. I’m talking about some idiot in the comments whose thirst for the last word is so so so so so so so high he had to go look up a useless, nearly incorrect fact to support an argument that didn’t need supporting. Go ahead. Go google whatever stat you need to respond. Look up what market share means next time. Or do you….do you really think every intel chip made goes into a PC? That’s fuckin’ adorable.
TheOptimisticParrot: Yes it was me who posted the market share.
What argument are we having?
Why are you so offended I looked up the market share? Like, are you so invested in AMD that me suggesting theyre not 50/50 in the market bothers you? shit I even pointed out AMDs share is growing!
Shit man, I'm just sharing facts I thought were interesting.

1661205057 | 1661211628 | t3_wv6b8l | t5_2to41 | 20 | AnotherFakeAccount69: TIFU by trusting my parent
How to get scammed by your mother in 10 easy steps:
Step 1. Mom and emotionally and verbally abusive, drug addict dad have a falling out of the century
Step 2. Mom calls me, telling me that her marriage is over and can’t live in her house. Even though my dad and mom are codependent and can’t be separated from each other 99% of the time.
Step 3. Mom pressures me and her parents to taking her in by saying “she is going to admit herself into a woman’s shelter and get abused there”
Step 4. She guilt trips me into signing a lease to a $2,500 a month 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment for us. She invites herself to be my roommate. I am a nice daughter and offer to pay 90% of the rent.
Step 5. She instills trust by saying how nice it will be. Mind you, I still am paying for two apartments to live in right now. My own lease that is coming up soon and the ultra expensive one my mom made me get us.
Step 6. She doesn’t move in on move in day.
Step 7. She says her and her husband are going to watch the new GOT series together. At their fucking house she says she is now safe in.
Step 8. She says she is going to give him 1 year to sober up. THE NEW LEASE IS 1 YEAR.
Step 9. She ends the divorce proceedings.
Step 10. Tell your daughter it’s “all gonna be ok”
TLDR: by letting my mother become my roommate against my will, letting her take over finances and signing a lease with the most expensive, luxury rent she could find for 1 year, then abandoning me with an apartment I now can’t afford by myself, for her to go back to her abusive husband for no reason.
InflamedLiver: I'm not usually the internet person who says this, but: sever ties. At minimum anything to do with money.
She's not ready to change yet, and until she is there's a thousand more times she's gonna pull the "I'm leaving, nah, I'm leaving, nah, I'm leaving, etc."
AnotherFakeAccount69: This is a thing I need to hear tbh. I am so uncomfortably close to her and have been raised to have no boundaries whatsoever towards her and that shit ain’t healthy. Thank you so much for your comment. You might not believe it, but that is probably the most applicable thing I can do right now, severing ties.

1661203294 | 1661213281 | t3_wv5kx5 | t5_2to41 | 22 | panadolgay: TIFU by not confessing
Hello. I feel like I had made a mistake and im now poundering on the what ifs. For context, Im a student (17M) and I had a general module this year. It lasted about 4 months. From April to August.
On the first day, I met this girl (17F) in my group. I instantly liked her. But shes not so the outgoing type and if she is, shes not talking to me. I have a feeling shes always singling me out for some reason.
But there are occasions, where she shows some interests such as copying my actions, for example, I like to hug my bag in class, she does it too. Wearing the same shoe as me. I've been wearing it since the first day of the module.
She has a few times sparked conversations with me such as apologising for not coming to team meetings over zoom cos she didn't see the message, and asking me things about the project, and wanted me to demonstrate how she should present it.
On presentation day, shes also the only one who remembered that I had a paper prior and asked me about it. I really should have just asked her out at that moment.
I feel like she has some interest? and tried to make some moves. But being the coward and introvert that is scared of rejection. I did not confess/ even ask her out. Which I really wanted to do on the last day of our project.
Now the project has ended and realistically, I do not have any reason to meet/talk to her anymore. I'm now poundering what I have done. Why didn't I take the chance? so what if I get rejected? I'm not gonna see her again. And now I made a choice I will regret.
TL;DR, I screw up. And now I really do not know what to do. I just feel really empty and I really miss her. I'm hoping for a miracle in which she asks me out but that's probably not gonna happen and me asking out of the blue may put me in a position where I act and look like a creep.
What should I do? should I put on a thick skin and message her out of the blue or just let her go?
Thanks for reading up till now. Please leave any advice below.😕
Q-Inane: Message her! Even if she says no, it won't sting as much as regret does.
Also you might consider mentioning some of those things that you've noticed that you two have in common in your message revealing your interest. It could show her that you care in a more meaningful way than just being 'liked' :)
moleware: This! Life is too short to not go for it. ESPECIALLY at that age.

1661201873 | 1661312275 | t3_wv4yya | t5_2to41 | 4 | anotherrandom_person: TIFU driving four hours for a scam
Obligatory this happened over the weekend and not today but I am still thinking about it and trying to figure out how it happened.
So a bit of backstory, I am currently trying to buy a new car and I am pretty set on a specific model but the one thing I want to do before going in on it is test drive it. This proves to be a challenge as even before the whole chip shortage/supply chain issue this car wasn't at every dealership, so I have been searching around all the dealers in the state to try and find one that I can drive and make my final decision.
This brings me to my story. I was searching on the manufacturer's website which was linking me to various dealer pages. All very official and nothing fishy. I finally found a dealership that had one of the cars listed on their website albeit it was marked as in transit to dealer which should have been a sign but I was just happy to find one. I filled out the form on the dealer's website to request a test drive and gave my email/phone but marked email as my preferred contact method. This should have been another sign based on what happened next.
Not even 20 minutes after I submitted the form my phone rang. Google identified it as a scam call but I answered anyways since I sometimes enjoy messing with scammers and was bored this day also it has said that when I called from my work phone before so obviously the system isn't perfect. The number also looked like one of those spoof numbers that use your area code to trick you into answering it which is weird since I have moved states since I got this number so the area code isn't even close to anything I was doing.
Once I answered I heard a woman say "Hello, I am calling for \*my name\* from \*something I didn't catch\* on behalf of \*dealer I just sent a request to\* about the \*car I want\*." She then went on to talk to me about the car and other things about the brand and dealer such as where it is and stuff like guaranteed trade-in because I own one of their cars already. This all told me that this was legit just based on all the information she had both about me from the form and about the car and brand. She asked me when I wanted to see the car and since this dealer was about 2 hours away from me I said I would probably need to do it on a saturday and I asked if this weekend would work. She said yes and said she set me up for an appointment. "Just walk in and tell the receptionist you have a VIP appointment". Weird but ok.
Everything seemed good and I was planning the drive for the next day until later that day when I got an email from the dealer saying they got my request and would like to talk to me about availability. This is where I fucked up because I chose to ignore this email as I thought maybe it was just a duplicate answer to my request.
Fast forward to the next day, I drive all the way there and tell the receptionist I am there about that car. She looked at me for a second then went and got someone else. After conversing with them I found out that they didn't have the car on their lot yet and they have no idea who called me. I was pretty SOL at this point so I just drove 2 hours back and considered the whole day a waste. I'm still not sure who called me or how they got my info from that dealer.
TL;DR I tried to test drive a rare car so I drove 2 hours there after talking to a mystery person on the phone to see a car that wasn't there yet
31spiders: Ok allow me to help you out. I worked at a dealership for a little and they all have databases that tell them EXACTLY what models are at other dealerships of their make (ie Ford dealers know what other Ford dealers have but if YOUR Ford dealer has Land Rover but not Lincoln they probably can’t check other Lincoln dealers). Usually what they have coming in even. They make trades etc between dealerships etc. All that is to say….walk into your local dealer….find a salesman you like…tell him exactly what you’re looking for and ask if he can either get you one or tell you where there is one that he might be able to trade for that you can see elsewhere. If it’s (REALLY) worth his time he might even borrow a rental from their fleet and drive with you to the other dealer to check it out.
I know Chip shortage changed things a little but this shouldn’t be this difficult.
robotnique: Yeah, sounds like the dealership biffed it, not OP. Shitty handling of their own inventory and procedures.
After all, there was no scam because there was nothing to be gained.

1661209712 | 1661231768 | t3_wv87rg | t5_2to41 | 28 | Designer_Badger_416: TIFU by lying to my GF
I wish this was one of those flashy titles that were about something completely different but it isn’t.
Six months ago I met my current GF and she is as good as you can think and even more. We dated for a month and then started with the relationship because even though we both knew there were risks involved in starting too soon we were happy with each other either way.
The day we officialized the relationship is the same day this whole problem started. That same day, a friend I had for over a year before I met her confessed she was attracted to me but didn’t make a move because she thought the timing was right, so I was in the weird possition of having to tell her that I was flattered but seeing someone. (I think I need to add that I wasn’t attracted to my friend). I told my current GF what happened and she started crying and having second thoughts because she has serious insecurity problems result of her past relationships.
Then, like a month without talking to my friend after that happened we ran into her in a concert, which I just said hi to because of manners. However, my GF told my when we got home my friend was looking at her weird the whole time. I didn’t really care in the moment and told her it was probably nothing. A week later my GF asked me to stop following my friend on social media and talking to her because it made her anxious and it was a really big deal for her, and after arguing after a while I finally accepted (I wasn’t very happy about it but I didn’t want her to feel like that).
Since that moment I didn’t have any kind of interaction with this girl, after a couple weeks or so it wasn’t an important matter because I understood where my GF’s point of view came from.
Fast forward three weeks ago, this girl sent me a tiktok. As I didn’t think it was a big deal I just replied with a laugh and continued with my day, she didn’t say or add anything else either. Three days after the first tiktok she sends me a meme, which again, I replied with a laugh and everything stopped from both sides. Another three days pass by and I get another tiktok from her. This time, out of stupidity I asked her how was it going and we exchanged like 3 messages each and then stopped again. I archived the chat because that same day I was with my girlfriend and I didn’t think three tiktoks were worth a fight if by mistake she saw I had that conversation open.
She asked for my phone because she usually plays a couple paid games I have in it and I gave it to her. As I normally don’t have anything to hide from her I left her with my phone and went to the bathroom. When I came back, she was completely different and seemed mad and told me she saw the conversation but didn’t open it. Also told me that she wasn’t going to read anything and wanted the explanation I had to give.
I explained everything to her, I told her the truth, that I have replied to three tiktoks my ex friend sent me and didn’t tell her because I didn’t think it was a big deal but apparently it was. The archived chat also doesn’t help my possition but I just did it out of fear anything like what happened could happen.
Nothing has been the same since then (her words) and we haven’t broken up yet. She told me that day that she forgived me but that she didn’t know when would the trust be the same again, which obviously I understood, but three weeks after all of that happened she still cries and tells me the idea she had of me doesn’t exists anymore and that she can’t trust me or get through the situation.
I know I fucked up but I don’t know if I deserve all of those words, I really like her and feel like the relationship could have been great if I wasn’t dumb enough to reply to those three f**** tiktoks. I’m doing this just for venting but I don’t know what do to now.
TL;DR - I hid a conversation with someone my GF told me not to talk again
redwolf587: Kinda sounds like you've gotta decide, is your friendship or gf more important?
respectfulpanda: Gf goes through his phone, into areas that she didn't have any business going into. There is no justification, and then goes into archived chats that have no sexual context from what I read.
No... the gf may not be worth fighting for.
Designer_Badger_416: As I told a guy above you, she didn’t go through my phone, I personally gave it to her to play games and watch tiktok and when she tried to send a video she liked to herself on my phone she saw the conversarion in there. That’s what she told me so I chose to believe her.
respectfulpanda: She went through a conversation, it was a non-sexual conversation? She is showing her controlling, abusive side here.
If it was an archived conversation, that is even worse.
redwolf587: Based on what OP said it sounds like she wanted to send herself a video and the recent contacts came up, apparently she didn't open it and wanted OP to explain. I'm not saying I completely side with the gf (this is infact controlling) however, this relationship can be salvaged. OP needs to prove he won't actively hide things, and GF needs to work on her trust issues.
Designer_Badger_416: although this is what happened she did open the conversation and there was nothing that could be misunderstood. even then she got mad at me because she told me a couple times my friend was a person she didn’t want in my life because of how insecure she made her feel.
redwolf587: I think your gf needs to accept her insecurities are hers, you aren't responsible for them. If you want to love and support her through them, that is your choice, but she needs to also consider your feelings. Goodluck OP I hope she realizes she can't control you to avoid dealing with her insecurities. I recommend talking to each other or maybe discussing and comprising until you both come to an agreement together.

I had quite the morning.
I walked over to my adult Mourning Gecko tank and spotted a hatchling on the lid (inside). "Hey, where'd you come from?" - I usually pull out the eggs and have them hatch in another container.
I open the tank to grab it and another hatchling drops from the door onto the stand and quickly crawls under the tank. It's now wedged itself into a corner under the tank. I've yet to locate it ugh.
Anyways, I go to grab the other gecko in the tank and it jumps onto my hand, runs up my arm and right onto my bare back. This all happens within a second. So here I am, shirtless, home alone with a gecko on my back that I can feel running around but I cannot reach. [Mourning geckos are tiny](https://imgur.com/aBfnxZC), and FAST. So all I feel is these little feet doing laps on my back. I need to be careful even swinging my arms while walking as to avoid crushing it accidently.
It finally does a death dive onto the floor (it's ok), and I put my hands around it. Now I have my hands around a gecko who refuses to crawl onto them and lots of hiding places just beyond my hands.
The only thing I can grab is a full trash can. I flip it's contents onto the floor and cover the baby with it. I get a tupperware and am finally able to control it, and put it with some other babies. ([The little monster herself](https://imgur.com/a/Zxfp6AU))
Now I'm tired, and it's a waiting game for the other one.
TL:DR Baby gecko ran onto my bare back and I couldn't grab it and was home alone so I had no help.
DovahFerret: Hold up. That first picture linked. Is that an adult or baby?
Also. That "monster" is freaking adorable. Cutest tifu ever.
BlazingCondor: Both pictures are babies. Adults stay about 3"
DovahFerret: So precious <3 thank you for sharing these lovely creatures with us, even if it is in this context.
BlazingCondor: Thanks for the kind words!

1661214688 | 1661238315 | t3_wva3e2 | t5_2to41 | 359 | stempdog218: TIFU by letting my 85 year old grand mother drink too much
So this happened Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'm still recovering from it.
My younger brother's birthday was this weekend, he lives in New Hampshire, I live in Florida, so it's was a treat to have him and his GF visit. It was also the baby shower weekend for my older brother and his wife. So my gram came to visit for the event. She lives a few hours north, my mom went to get here and I offered to let her stay with my wife and me so my little brother could enjoy my mom's house.
It was supposed to be a nice weekend.
Saturday afternoon we went on a floating tiki boat, where Gram had 2 glasses of white. Cut to dinner and the restaurant messed up and brought her two extra large glasses of wine, which she handled. And all she ate was a salad. Now she's getting drunk, but hey, she's 85, raised her 4 kids, helped with all her grandkids whenever she was needed, so who was I to judge.
Some signs she was drunk included hitting on older men she thought were single, falling asleep in the car ride home from dinner, and retelling the she stories. But she went to bed early so my wife and I cuddled up on the couch and threw a movie on. Half way through we hear her bedroom fling open and see her run to the guest bathroom in nothing but her bra and underwear. Which was horrifying but not the fuck up. We snickered, though a little grossed out, and shut off the TV and ran into our bedroom just so we wouldn't have to see the old lady from Legion come back through again.
The fuck up was the next morning where she told me she threw her sheets in the wash due to her eczema bleeding but didn't know how to start it. So I went out to start it and it was not blood. It was doo doo. I was 95% sure but couldn't be sure. She left to go to the baby shower with my wife, who is now aware of the situation. Then I went into the guest room. Cue Bob Saget 'there's shit everywhere!'.
I have tile floors. It was in the grout, the bed skirt, on the pillows and cases, it the hallway, and then the bathroom. There was poo all over the toilet. And not just IN the toilet. I mean on the front, sides, seat, lid, it looked like a fire hose of shit was deployed. I just grabbed a bottle of bleach and began spraying. I have a steam mop that I used with the bleach first. Then I have a tile vac which was up next. Then the robot mop. I had to wash every part of that room and items in it. My washer has never ran so many times in a day.
After CSI'ing the crime scene, the only way this worked was she got up to pee and trusted a fart that was not. And then didn't stop.
The rest of my family found great humor in this. I haven't been able to look my gram in the eye ever sense.
She never admitted to it and I will never ask her about it.
TLDR - let my gram get drunk, she poo'd all over my guest room and bathroom. Now I have PTSD, post traumatic shit disorder
saladmunch2: How did she get up and get ready to go to a baby shower in that condition lmao. Shitty situation indeed
JumpyLolly: No idea but how many glasses of wine did she have at the baby shower
RetroReactiveRaucous: Wine at a baby shower? You must know my family.

1661216455 | 1661268191 | t3_wvar4q | t5_2to41 | 105 | Content-Grape-: TIFU by believing my roommate when he said how dirty his room was
This actually happened today, and I’m going to be thinking about it for a long time.
I have a nice penthouse apartment in nyc, and rented out two of the rooms to friends of mine for a steep discount. The building was bought by venture capitalists who want to gut renovate and increase the monthly price, so I’m unable to renew my lease. This means we all have to be out by September 30. I asked my landlord if I could use my security deposit as last month’s rent because it’s so much more convenient, and he said he’d swing by today to look at the place to give me an answer. The rent is very high, so this would be a big deal.
My one roommate, S, has a girlfriend that lives in another state, so he goes an visits her a lot. In totally, he’s probably spent about 3 months here in the 7 months he’s lived here. He left a few days ago for a multi week visit. After I heard from the landlord I gave him a call, because the last time I saw his bathroom (only peeked in because I had to grab a spare trash bin) there was hair on the floor from shaving his body.
He admitted that although he’d just cleaned up the bathroom and tub, he’d just shaved before leaving so there was hair on the floor again but that was it. He told me this last night. Foolishly, I believed him. He suggested I get a cleaning lady and he’d pay for it but from what he said it didn’t seem necessary.
The landlord was coming at 1;30, so I figured I’d go in around one to vacuum up the hair. What greeted me was one of the most clogged, moldy, hair filled bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life. The sides of the “recently cleaned” [bathtub](https://imgur.com/gallery/zcCTqTX) where thickly coated with brown goo. The drain was clogged with black hair, the sink and floor matted with the stuff as well. I can’t imagine how anyone could step foot in that shower and think they came out cleaner than they went in.
What followed was an intense thirty minutes of cleaning from my roommate and I as we used toilet blushes to scrape the layer of mold and grime from the sides of the tub, a lot of dry heaving as we cleaned up all the hair, and a depressing moment where I contemplated my past, present, and future as I cleaned the toilet of a twenty seven year old man with a six figure career in private equity. The whole time I couldn’t help but wonder what his girlfriend (who just graduated from a top tier PA program) would think if she saw his living conditions.
As pissed as I was about having to clean up this grown man’s mess, the most insulting part was how he had let this stunning apartment with a literal en suite jet tub get so disgusting in the course of half a year. Was he rolling around in mud before taking a shower? Has he never cleaned a day in his life? How do you let a room you’re renting from someone else get like this?
When the landlord arrived I was a sweaty, panting mess as I processed the trauma I had just endured. Luckily he seemed more interested in measuring the kitchen for renovations than looking too closely at the bathrooms, so I managed to save my security deposit. But never again will I trust a roommate when they say they’ve kept the rooms clean.
TLDR; believed my roommate when he said his bathroom was clean, was forced to clean the horrendously disgusting dirty bathroom myself the next day as a result
YoshiandAims: Oh ugh.
I dated a guy just like that. Yep. To this day, I can't get over just how filthy everything could be. How did it get like that? I'd do what you did and then turn around a few weeks later and his toilet would be blackened all over again... He lied. It was not like that when he got there, He had never cleaned it or attempted, and it was never just his beard hairs everywhere... I can't believe he said those things with such confidence... and the rest of the apartment wasn't much better.
My skin is crawling in sympathy! Next time he suggests to someone he needs to hire a cleaning lady... I hope they take him at his word and just run with that idea first!
Sharpy74: I had an ex that was like this too. As normal functioning adults we are used to wiping up small messes, throwing out bits of garbage, and doing quick little tidy up sessions... this on top of fully cleaning every once in awhile.
Some people do none of these things, I often find its entitled people who grew up with maids and servants that do this. It still baffles me, but I guess I get it.

I’m sixteen and today I had to the doctors for my physical exam.
The doctor asked me if I was sexually active, and when I told them was.
They then asked if I wanted to take a std test and stupidly I said yes not knowing that my parents would be able to see it on their insurance.
I know I could’ve just gone to a free clinic or something like that but this was just much easier.
I come from a really religious catholic family, and I’m not supposed to be having sex until marriage.
So when my parents found out, they took my phone and went through it. I also have to turn my phone in every night before bed just so they can go through it again. I’m also grounded for the rest of the summer.
TLDR: My religious parents saw I got tested for stds on their insurance, went though my phone and grounded me
Itchy_Budgetz: Tell them you thought you could get them from the toilet seat... hopefully they'll realize how royally they fucked up by sheltering you from perfectly natural things! But if you're mature enough to get tested you're mature enough to wrap it up! Not assuming you don't nor saying you shouldn't get tested because of that fact tho!
VagrancyHD: Do it, they're religious they'll believe anything!
pistol3: How did you come to the conclusion that religious people will believe anything?
VagrancyHD: The guidance and values of my Magical Sky Captain (Who is also better than yours) allowed me to.
pistol3: So are you a religious person?
Ryansahl: No because humans are stupid and especially 2000 yrs ago. However, religion is the cure for evolving.
pistol3: You get one skeptical question about your world view, and the cringy sky daddy memes come out. You don't know why you think religious people will believe anything?
Ryansahl: Maybe not anything, but a book written by the Romans with constant un-authorized editing about things constantly being proven wrong by science is not a healthy reference for living your life. Yet even with all the corruption and sexual abuse, the church still holds these people and their lazy thinking. Sorry to disagree but religion harbours the unthinking.
pistol3: What constantly edited book written by Romans and disproven by science are you talking about?
laplongejr: The Bible?
Besides the religious, all non-proven parts of any religious book.
pistol3: The Bible wasn’t written by Romans. Claims that it has been disproven by science should come with some more specifics.

Too much and you'll be in there quite some time with many many flushes.
PrestigiousGuest3820: What does it do and where can I buy it?
Edit: nvm they sell it at a grocery store near me. I’ll grab some on the morning. Thank you life-saving Redditor
ShrewishFrog: Simply put: It will loose your bowels. Found at almost any pharmacy.
Magnesium citrate liquid will open the gates, and if you drink too much, they will become flood gates. It is frequently used pre-surgey to empty bowels or afterwards to relieve constipation.
It works fast so go easy

1661227220 | 1661304274 | t3_wvelyj | t5_2to41 | 138 | Sweet-B: TIFU: By asking my wife to sit on me
Never posted before, but this was too easy to post about.
This week I am ripping out carpet and installing hardwood under my in-laws business. Not normally too taxing, but for context, I work from home full time as a web developer, my wife works from home doing graphic design, and both of our primary hobbies are video games. We’re not the most fit people on the planet.
This leads to a sore back, and my loving wife offers to massage it. Her being tiny and not very strong though, I need a little more weight behind it and ask her to just sit on me. Which she does! It feels great! … for the 2 seconds before she falls straight back and lands lumbar first on the floor. Also not normally too taxing on a 25 year old, but for context, she has a rare nerve disorder that flares up in extreme pain when her lumbar get enflamed. She’s not the most sturdy person on the planet.
She’ll be basically laid up for anywhere from a couple days to a couple months. Eh, at least we love video games.
And don’t worry, we have frozen gochujang down her pants. Works surpisingly well, so, free LPT for ya.
TL;DR: Asked my wife to sit on my sore back from installing flooring all day, she fell backward, injured her lumbar, potentially putting her up for a while.
Technicolourhero: Oooh I totally feel for her. I have a broken coccyx at the moment and it’s a nightmare!
sebluver: My condolences! I bruised my coccyx as a kid hitting a rock sledding on a broken sled. As a mostly sedentary computer nerd it was brutal. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Technicolourhero: Thanks friend! I’m a firefighter and a toddler mum so it’s pretty much stopped me doing everything haha! The worst part is that I don’t even have a cool story like you do! I tripped over my baby gate!!
robotnique: Tripped over your baby gate while taking a bullet for the Prince of Monaco, you mean.
Technicolourhero: I like you!
robotnique: Of course you do. That's why you saved my life. I'm a grateful monarch. Come by the principality any time.
Technicolourhero: Gladly, and with honour, Your Majesty :)

Mechanic-Beast7: Nah u didn’t fuck up. But u could’ve choked him back to reality that this was a date and not BDSM meeting.
hrakkari: Yeah it feels like OP dodged a bullet. Better find out he’s a freak now than later when she’s invested.
-Kerosun-: The way she described it didn't give me BDSM vibes but rather "a woman couldn't choke me out" vibes? Did I misinterpret it?
remotetissuepaper: That's how I saw it. His fragile masculinity couldn't handle the thought that a woman could possibly beat him up
Ok-Emotion-1131: Me, too. Just another example of how masculinity becomes super homoerotic when carried out to its extremes: "Only a MAN can choke me into submission!"
bpwoods97: >Just another example of how masculinity becomes super homoerotic when carried out to its extremes"
LMAO what? The guy is a douche bag, but nothing about this situation says "erotic". It's a guy whose ego was damaged at the thought of a girl beating him up. This has nothing to do with "homoeroticism of masculinity" lol, how asinine.
Ok-Emotion-1131: Idk, man. There's just something very gay to me about being super comfortable with a man choking you out and super threatened by a woman doing it.
And to be clear, there's no pejorative connotation in my use of gay here. I'm using it purely as a descriptor.
Sub7Agent: There's something homosexual about not wanting to be submitted by someone who's gender puts them at a major physical disadvantage?
Ok-Emotion-1131: No. There's something homosexual about reserving a particularly physically intimate activity that requires a great deal of trust and submission for another man.
Sub7Agent: I don't believe they were discussing choking in a kink sense but in a wrestling/grappling sense given the topic was on how she did martial arts.
Ok-Emotion-1131: Yes.
Sub7Agent: And in any case - he wasn't reserving it for only men, he was wanting to engage OP in being choked out.
Ok-Emotion-1131: For the purpose of proving she couldn't do it.
Sub7Agent: So then it isn't about an eroticism but purely machoism?
Ok-Emotion-1131: Extrapolate that out. What is machismo? Why does it exist? Does it actually appeal to women? Is it even directed at or toward women?
Or is it just a bunch of dudes trying to impress other dudes with how dude they are?
And at what point does completely ignoring what women find attractive in favor of a socialization style that appeals specifically to other men not come off as rooted in some kind of homoeroticism?
Or at least an intense desire for other men to be attracted to them?
Combine that with a less-than-generous attitude toward women that delineates activities along gender lines and excludes women, and machismo starts to seem a lot like a way for men to create spaces exclusively to perform masculinity for other men.
When those activities involve being scantily clad, grappling, dominating, and submitting, and these dudes are like, "Women CAN NOT do this with us because they're inferior." it kind of comes off as, "I'm actually repulsed by women and don't want them in my male spaces, where we also happen to be embracing, dominating, and submitting to one another."
It's Mac's character arc from It's Always Sunny, basically. This whole economy between hyper-masculinity and homoeroticism is the blueprint for his character.
Sub7Agent: Do you feel the same way about women with elaborate makeup, nails, etc that men generally don't care about? They are actually gay and wanting to be attractive to the same sex?
Ok-Emotion-1131: I don't think the performance of femininity is as exclusive of men and as intragendercentric as the performance of masculinity.
But both do reach a point of diminishing returns in attracting the opposite sex, though, which is worth noting.
However, I'm also not saying these dudes are always literally gay, more that, past a certain point, that's how it comes off to others.
Like, you can't tell me the volleyball scene in Top Gun ISN'T homoerotic, but many dudes try to emulate those kinds of depictions of masculinity IRL without understanding how it comes across to others.
Sub7Agent: Fair enough and an interesting POV I haven't thought too much about.

1661236469 | 1661623538 | t3_wvhdgp | t5_2to41 | 25 | purplehairedbandit: TIFU -almost poisoning my family
Every year I make special birthday cakes by request for my kids. My eldest wanted a fancy cake with gold leaf on it.
Off I went and ordered some gold leaf.
Was surprised when it arrived it didn’t come in the format I was expecting.
Whatever I thought bags instead of bottles of gold flake whatever.
Began working on fine details today covering chocolates with gold foil for the greater part of the afternoon.
Tonight I go on Amazon, and check my to see when something I ordered is supposed to arrive. I notice the product I ordered was in fact gold leaf in a bag.
I think weird, I really don’t remember ordering that and it being so cheap.
So I read the details - not food safe - craft use only - may cause diarrhea.
Now I’m concerned as I have ingested a small amount.
Ugh.
TLDR:
So I might have massive diarrhea with gold flakes, I wasted about $30 of supplies and an afternoon of my time, but at least I didn’t poison my family.
AcrobaticSource3: “Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy diarrhea!”

So today (Aug 23) is my 3rd anniversary with my husband. In our past, we have had few 3somes, and my husband has been itching for another one. Not me though; I'm fine with just the two of us.
Knowing what he wants though, I offered to try to find another woman to join us. Inside, I'm kinda falling apart. I want to make him happy, but looking for another woman on your anniversary just doesn't hit the right way yknow? Now it's almost like the day is a bust because I haven't found anyone to join us yet. I am sure a lot of people might think "well you did it a few times before, so I don't see why you're upset now" and I get it, I do. For some reason I'm more afraid of losing my partner now than before. I also get very insecure and can get jealous.
All of which I've let my husband know about.
Unfortunately for me, my husband will never NOT want a 3way. So idk what to do.
TL;DR anniversary is today and now im looking for another woman to join us, feeling like shit, instead of enjoying the day for what it initially is.
murnworb: You need to really talk to your husband about this, you can't keep going on like this. Loads of people want a three-way and never get one. You're in a couple, not a single. If it doesn't work for the both of you, it can't really continue in a healthy way.
Joursdesommeil: You can’t do that behind their back and then tell them that’s legitamently emotionally cheating on your person if they’re under the impression you’re in a closed relationship with each other man
BigChunk: Did you reply to the wrong comment?
Joursdesommeil: No! I know how to use Reddit I replied to the OP
silentsnort: Oof. You didn't reply to OP though. You replied to a comment.
Joursdesommeil: If OP sees the comment and was curious what my intention was by even replying they could easily look at my extensive post history on this thread for the last week as I’ve been trying to figure out why my relationship completely imploded for what I thought was NO reason I was reaching out for help and advice and through a lot of searching and calling on…family I found out
Ghengis1621: Looking at the way you talk to people, I've got a few ideas as to why
Joursdesommeil: You have no right. The stress this has caused my family is tearing us all apart. My mother is fighting with her father over this and blaming me for inviting a bad guy into our lives Im under immense pressure and guilt
iamwizzerd: Bruh wtf is going on
Joursdesommeil: Google local news in Archdale NC and Thomasville I’m tired of telling people about the crime I’m seeing on my Neighborhood Watch app. It’s serious and it’s all being reported to police by the week. High Point and the surrounding areas DO have high crime rates and they’re college towns essentially it is what it is but I just moved here and it’s jarring for me and my family tbh
iamwizzerd: ....... your in the post or your sick and need to go to the hospital
Joursdesommeil: Uh lmao are you gonna pay 400 for the ambulance? Bc I’m on the phone w my therapist right now talking abo it what’s going on and even she’s telling me I need to be considering pressing charges for all this
iamwizzerd: This is r/sex
Joursdesommeil: And ummm I just found out my ex was cheating and potentially gave me something he has from someone in his town because he let someone wear my clothes apparently which is nasty and idk I didn’t deserve that idc what anyone says but it is related to sex so people I hope it’s taken as a warning if anything when people show you who they are by how they act…believe em.
elefrhino: ... you don't get stds from wearing clothes.
Maybe crabs if it's underwear, but still.
Joursdesommeil: And I think he did..ugh I don’t even want to think about it we hadn’t even touched each other in weeks so ew.
elefrhino: Oh
Oh no
reverick: Dude you want a fucking trip? Go reading through her profile. There's a real person behind these word salad posts from the absurd. I found what I'm gonna do while smoking a bowl before bed. I feel like I won the lottery when I find profiles like this to read through.
ScabiesShark: Damn that's a weird ride. Glad you said something

1661257174 | 1661305884 | t3_wvnc6d | t5_2to41 | 14,435 | SteveRogersFucks: TIFU when I convinced my parents to do an intervention
Throwaway account.
What I'm about to share happened more than a month ago and at the time there was nothing funny about it. Now it cracks me up and makes me cringe whenever I think about it.
I (18m) still live with my parents and Christianity plays a big role in my family. I'm not sure if I believe what they believe, but one thing was certain, my brother (25) believed there was only one God. Drugs. At some point in his life, getting high was no longer about having fun, it was about feeding an addiction. When he started stealing from my family to support his drug habit, that's when my dad called the cops and had him arrested.
My dad's plan was not to send my brother to prison, he was just buying time to come up with another solution. He called a family meeting and we brainstormed. Besides praying and hoping that a higher power magically makes my brother stop using drugs, rehab was the next best thing. My dad wanted to literally drag my brother to the nearest rehab center and force him to check in. I suggested that we try an intervention just like the ones on TV where the loved ones confronted the drug addict with letters they wrote to show how much they care and hopefully inspire the addict to seek professional help.
My family agreed to do the intervention based on my passionate pitch. We wrote our letters and waited until my brother got released from jail the following day. When my brother entered the house, the living room was occupied by family members, church members, a few of my brother's friends, and one of his ex girlfriends. I never expected my parents to basically invite the whole town, but there they all were. My mom explained to my brother what was happening before volunteering to be the first person to read a letter.
My brother was not about that life. He told my mom to stop reading and allow him to go upstairs or he was gonna get upset and say some shit he can't take back. My mom kept reading, which prompted my brother to roast the shit out of all of us. He made fun of my mom for being addicted to botox and always running on the treadmill with her arms straight down. He asked my dad what God thinks about him paying for porn. He accused me of sucking another guy's dick and literally pointed to the person who owned that dick (he was right). He advised my uncle to lose 200 pounds before trying to save anyone else's life. He said his ex girlfriend's belly button looked like a butthole, which was the real reason he broke up with her.
It went on and on until an argument broke out between my brother and everyone else. If my brother was not the tallest person in the room, my guess is someone would've punched him in the face long ago. Luckily it didn't go that far. My brother eventually went upstairs and didn't come down until there was no one left but my parents and I. It was awkward between all of us. My dad and I were unable to look at each other for the rest of that week and what made it even worse was the fact that neither us denied what my brother said about us. It was never mentioned again.
Since then, my brother agreed to go for rehab. He's been clean for 22 days and it seems like he's doing better. My mom stopped using the treadmill and is now running in the park early in the mornings when none of us are awake to see if she's actually moving her arms or not. It's still unclear if my dad watches porn, let alone pays for it. I'm dating a girl and she knows I've sucked a dick. I can't provide updates for the rest of the people my brother insulted. I think they're all done with the drama in my family because I don't see much of them anymore lol.
TL:DR I convinced my parents to have an intervention for my drug addicted brother. The intervention went sideways when my brother got angry and roasted everyone.
DylanusMagnus: Lmao he broke up with her because her bellybutton looked like a butthole? XD
SteveRogersFucks: Lol they were together for 3 years, so the belly button butthole must not have been that bad. But what do I know. I like buttholes.
Vanleon1s: apparently also dicks. But the great thing is, you don't have to choose.
FinFihlman: >apparently also dicks. But the great thing is, you don't have to choose.
He said he had sucked a dick. That's not enough to determine if he likes it.
Clovermunch: How much sucking do you have to do to realize you like it or not? Just the tip or the whole shaft or do you have to just keep going till you finish to really know?
Onion5253: 20 times is the minimum to see wether or not you like it. I’m safe at 19 so one more to go
Justwaitillfuckitup: This should be a reality show. “19 dicks and counting.”
LucySaxon: "Thirty-seven?!"
Justwaitillfuckitup: Lmao

1661261400 | 1661262666 | t3_wvovr9 | t5_2to41 | 4 | Serenity-bliss111: TIFU about using a horrible excuse to call in
So my guilty conscious is really setting in. Today I woke not really feeling like I wanted to go to work. I just couldn’t get myself to wake up on time and get ready.
I work as a mental health specialist at a nonprofit and I do a lot of mental and emotional work and I felt like I just didn’t have the capacity to support others right now.
So this morning I texted my director a terrible terrible excuse. I told him that my grandma was in the hospital and that I wouldn’t be coming in.
I’m not sure why I said it. I felt the need to come up with this dramatic excuse because i didn’t want to use the “I’m sick” excuse and really the only reason is because I just don’t have the energy. I am fully capable of working but I just sort of panicked. I’ve never done something like that before.
I trust my team and we always talk about self care and making sure we are stable to perform but something just didn’t feel right and I didn’t really know what to say.
I know if I just told them the truth they would have been confused as I’ve seen it happen with other people when they call out. We are very open and honest but there is some toxicity and judgement still from others and I just didn’t want to have to deal with that.
Also I’m a firm believer that whatever I say or think can potentially manifest and I’m scared that it will as I “predicted” or had an inner knowing of things without realizing it and that I just came up with that excuse out of nowhere. But I’m prepared for any karma coming my way for lying and putting my grandma at risk.
Has anyone else done this before?? Please tell me truth. I just feel awful about it.
TL;DR I told my director that my grandma was in the hospital to call in for work and my guilty conscious is getting to me and I am expecting and preparing myself for any karma coming my way from the universe.
tr14l: Why didn't you just say you were taking a personal day and leave it at that? No real reason to feel bad, karma isn't real. But, you felt the need to lie, which means you've positioned yourself in a situation where you aren't able to be a good person for one reason or another. Perhaps you need different work.
Serenity-bliss111: I get that. Thanks for your honesty. But every human lies and all we can do is learn from our mistakes. The thing is I know what I did was not right, but did it anyway out of fear. It’s a fear within myself that I need to work on. So we cant necessarily say just a personal day. I wish we could but not with this organization. I know I am still a good person despite this rare mistake.
tr14l: If you aren't allowed to take a personal day, then how is lying your fault? Seems like you definitely need to work on your career if you aren't at a place where you can be treated as an adult. Though, next time, make up an easier to dismiss lie... Like just that you god food poisoning or something so you don't feel so guilty. There's a million ailments. Pick one. Tell them your Crohn's is acting up. Who cares. Honestly, if you are in America they're not even allowed to ask why you are calling in if you just say "I'm sick".
&#x200B;
But it's fine. Seriously. Did this all the time at shitty jobs. Shitty jobs MAKE you do things like this. They don't realize they are perpetrators of their own culture.
Serenity-bliss111: That makes sense. Honestly this organization is the best thing that’s happened to me but I do see where it’s leading me to do some shitty things to avoid work. So maybe it’s time to look elsewhere. I think honestly my intuition is trying to tell me something and that how I reacted. Thanks for your honesty.

1661261594 | 1661309792 | t3_wvoyhv | t5_2to41 | -1 | liberal-aka-kmpb: TIFU my relationship with my friend group
I (18 M), have a drinking problem. Amid the 2020 pandemic and my drepression and personality disorders, I started drinking guessing I could kill time faster this way and thought it never would hit back. Guess what, it indeed hit back, and pretty hard.
Last Saturday my friends and I went to a party. Everythings was fun and all till I had a bit more cups then i should have, and things started go south. I think I am a decent person, but when i drink my personality goes 180, I became a mean idiot and my filter just disappear.
I was talking to a friend of mine and his gf, whom i had a beef with. Don't remember exataly what i told her, but a lot of slurs and name calling I assure you. He punched me three times in the face and told everyone of the shit I talked to his gf.
I really can't go on with myself. Wich scares me the most is not knowing if in my core I am just like this, or its the alcohol effect.
Well, its my fault anyway, for neglecting my friends advice to stop drinking, cus it isn't the first time i drink too much and I became another person.
I still feel they have some kind of affection for me, but its like the line is so thin any mistake any last piece of it will just disappear.
I don't want 'em having to choose sides, so I think i'll just let then take some time to evaluete my mistakes and decide if can go back to the group.
TL;DR drunk too much, told shit do friend's gf, got punched and don't know if i have friends anymore.

Not very big fu
Disclaimer, this happened last year but I just remembered now when I read another post in the r/relationship about how one would feel if approached by a guy in the street who asks for a phone number.
I was walking in the city, with headphones on, and one guy stops me. I thought it might be a tourist (full of them here). I take my headphones off and he says he really likes my dress. I say thank you and that I have to rush and start walking. I was actually really surprised and finally relieved at how easy I got off. I dont get to finish my thought since the guy came after me and started bumping me on the shoulder with his finger. He then he asks if he could get my phone number. I say no thank you, I’m not interested, and as I try to walk away he tries again - this time asking me if instead I want to go for a coffee. I was pretty pissed at this point and barely politely declined again and took off.
I find myself sitting on a bench waiting for some friends later still a bit pissed about the first dude - headphones on, scrolling on my phone when this guy on a bike shows up and stops in front of me. I looked up and his hair was pretty disheveled, clothes were wrinkly and appeared to have some stains on, overall the guy was not in his best shape. I tell him “I’m really sorry but I honestly don’t have any cash” (which really I didn’t) hoping he would leave me alone when I hear him at the same time ask if he could get my number because he thought I was cute or sth.
I was mortified. He looked at me for another second and then he got on his bike and took off. I honestly felt soooooo bad but also I was already done with strangers bothering me for the day. I am kinda glad I didn’t have cash because I might have handed it to him as well. There are quite a few people begging on the streets in my city as well and it’s common for this to happen. I still felt like shit for making such a quick decision in a split second which I try not to but I really wanted to be on my own then.
Random dude, wherever you are, I hope you find the courage again to walk up to a girl - but maybe also read the room a bit beforehand and know a clean/wrinkle free shirt goes a long way.
Tldr: guy asked for my number and I declined by saying I don’t have spare to give him at the same time.
Kwen_Oellogg: Don't worry about either of those guys. We throw out a hundred lines and are happy if we get one bite.
robotnique: Yuck. Not all of us, man. Hollering at random women is for morons.
Kwen_Oellogg: There are thousands of ways to try and make the acquaintance of women.
I don't recommend cold approaching any women on the street. That wasn't what I was implying.

1661266982 | 1661354448 | t3_wvr4m4 | t5_2to41 | 2,221 | MadNic1215: TIFU by inviting a guy over to my parents house to lose my virginity
So throwback to me just turning 18. I was still in high school, still lived with my parents, and still was a virgin. I was very sheltered growing up. I was the baby of the family and held at a higher standard than my brother. I usually never rebelled against my parents but I was at that age where my hormones were raging and I just wanted to experience what all the hype was about. I’ve always been a bigger girl and not too many guys were into girls like me in high school. So I decided I should join tinder. I matched with a few guys here and there and nothing really came out of those matches. But eventually I matched with this one guy who was 18 as well. We hit it off instantly and talked for a few days. One night we were getting really into it and our conversation started getting a little spicy. We sent each other pictures and were super into each other. We’ll call the guy Joe. So, Joe decided one night at 2 am that he wants to take it to the next step and help me lose my virginity. Me being all hot and bothered agreed and gave him my address. Keep in mind that I’m still living with my parents and they still pay all my bills. Our rooms are also attached, to get to my room you had to go through my parents room. Well it’s now 2:30 am and Joe shows up. He’s a bigger guy and about 6’3. The only way of getting in the house without anyone knowing/hearing would be to climb through the window. He manages to make it through with a few bumps and noises, but the dogs and my parents didn’t seem to hear. We thought we were in the clear. He gets in my room and instantly starts making out with me. We didn’t do much foreplay and he just whips it out. Of course I picked a guy that was… gifted for my first time. I wasn’t as ready as I would’ve liked to have been but I was too nervous to stop him. He gets in and it instantly hurt. I being the SMART person I am, jerked my arm out of reaction and end up knocking my lamp off my bed side table. It shatters and the dogs start losing it. Joe jumps up, fixed himself back into his pants and runs towards the window. I was smart enough to lock the door, however, my stepdad managed to bust through the door and get a glimpse of Joe jumping out my window. My dad runs out of the room and grabs his pistol as I stick my head out the window to tell Joe to run. He makes it to his car and you could hear the tires screech as he sped off. My dad was on the porch, gun in hand, watching as he sped off. That night I got chewed out by my parents and was grounded the rest of my senior year. My parents bring up that story for a good laugh since they find it hilarious now. But I’m still embarrassed. And to top it off, Joe never spoke to me again.
TL;DR : TIFU by inviting over a guy I just met to lose my virginity in my parents house. Probably should’ve just waited until I was out of high school
Newmanuel: Its so profoundly weird that in America the go-to parent reaction to catching your daughter having sex is to bring out a gun and threaten to murder the guy
MadNic1215: I mean you’re not wrong
heyitsvonage: What’s up with your getting to your bedroom requiring walking through your parents room? Sounds hella weird.
MadNic1215: It’s a super old house. It was meant to be a nursery for the family that built it
Adk318: This is not super uncommon in old houses. My first home I bought was built in 1910. Had the same thing. I turned it into a huge walk in closet. Lol. The actual closet was tiny, so it worked.
agentsnace: TIL old houses in America are from 1900s
AdEmbarrassed8228: Bro the USA as a country was founded in 1776, so if it’s from 1910 it’s 1/3 the countries age…
agentsnace: Yes, I would've expected 'old' to be more in the region of 1800s even. My local church is from the 1200s - that is OLD. But yeah like the previous commenter said, all relative

1661274049 | 1661314661 | t3_wvu1qe | t5_2to41 | 47,659 | Main-Kaleidoscope999: TIFU by asking my high school crush to have sex with me
I've always had a crush on this girl but we graduated a few years ago and I never had the courage to ask her out. Fast forward to a week ago when I saw a post of hers on Facebook. I clicked on her profile just out of curiosity and saw that her relationship status was single. I'm single as well, but not looking for a relationship right now.
So I sent her a message to ask how she was doing and we exchanged a few messages just talking about our lives and such. Then I asked her if she was really single and she said yeah why. I basically said that I always found her attractive and would love to have sex with her if she was interested. I wanted to be honest and blunt about my intentions (other redditors have reported using this approach successfully.) I let her know it was no big deal if she wasn't interested.
She said "why would you even ask that" and blocked me. I've been thinking about it for the last week and I'm kicking myself that I said that. I really wish I could go back in time and redo that whole conversation. I know that I came off as creepy and it makes me cringe just to think about it.
TL;DR: I asked my high school crush if she would have hook up with me and she blocked me.
RetroBerner: Maybe don't take advice from THAT subreddit anymore 🤣
Dawk320: The madman actually went full Andrew Tate. You never go full Andrew Tate.
Unikatze: Second time today I hear this name. Who is he exactly?
I googled and he seems to be a kickboxer but I need some context xD
TheawesomeQ: Self proclaimed misogynist who moved to Romania so he could rape and kidnap/traffick women with fewer consequences. Somehow there are a nunber of men who respect him.
xgamer444: So I looked into the guy and there hasn't been any proof that any of this happened.
It's shameful how people jump to conclusions over claims made against someone they don't like.
You don't like his ideas and so now he's a rapist that trafficks girls and beats them - even though there's no proof.
Sad. Just sad. That's how people are though.
hearke: Any proof? He confessed to it! It's literally from his videos. Come on, man, this is not the hill you want to die on. Defend someone worthy of your time.
Here's a link to the trafficking and captivity stuff: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/06/andrew-tate-violent-misogynistic-world-of-tiktok-new-star
xgamer444: LOL that's exactly the first thing I found on google when looking him up. Again, zero *proof* of anything.
He talks tough on the internet about women - not proof.
The cops went to his house and funny enough found nothing - also not proof.
A girl said he kept her in his house - also not proof. Especially since the cops found nothing.
Video of him hitting a girl with a belt - could be bdsm kink, she had all the opportunity to accuse him and didn't - also not proof.
The bar for what people find to be damning evidence is incredibly low. I hope if I'm ever on trial it's not by jury. My life would be in the hands of a bunch of guppies.
Toastburger: >He talks tough on the internet about women - not proof.
"He's not actually a rapist, he just tells people he's a rapist" isn't exactly a stellar character defense, dude.
xgamer444: And yet it's still not proof.
And when did he say he raped someone? You're just not even paying attention.
MisfireCu: That's like saying " They had no proof Capone ever murdered or ordered the murder of anyone". Yeah they didn't have the legal definition of proof but yeah... he fucking did it. That's why they threw the book at him for tax evasion.
xgamer444: You mean they got him on what they actually had, which wasn't proof of him actually doing anything besides tax evasion.
MisfireCu: Yes. They did. Doesn't mean that even though they didn't have the evidence to overcome the burden of proof that it didn't fucking happen. And everyone including the authorities knew it fucking happened.
xgamer444: Authorities always know what happened- except they just can't prove it. Darn. Kind of like how the election was stolen, right?
Everyone knows it happend, but they just can't prove it in court. Darn. Definitely happened though.
MisfireCu: There's evidence... but no evidence that passes the burden of proof. At least Biden never got up in front if a huge audience and said "WE DID IT GUYS WE STOLE THE ELECTION"
xgamer444: Other dems did though, lol
[Time magazine even put out an article detailing all the efforts to do so](https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/)
> Democracy is not self-executing.
How criminal.
I believe it was Pelosi who admitted publicly they did absolutely everything they could to manipulate votes so they could "protect democracy" (by manufacturing consent, imagine that).
And yet, nobody's gonna do a thing about it.
So then, did the election get stolen? Do you know it did? Can't be proven in court. So was it?
MisfireCu: You're linking to an article admitting that the dems worked around the clock to achieve a fair election. That's what it literally says. Not that they changed or hid votes.
xgamer444: > For nearly a quarter-century, Podhorzer, senior adviser to the president of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union federation, has marshaled the latest **tactics** and **data** to help **its favored candidates win elections**.
> Among **Democratic** insiders, he’s known as the wizard behind some of the biggest advances in political technology in recent decades.
> A group of **liberal** strategists he brought together in the early 2000s led to the creation of the Analyst Institute, **a secretive firm that applies scientific methods to political campaigns.**
I'm sorry, that's not the democracy I was taught about in school. If that's what people consider modern democracy, burn it to the ground.
MisfireCu: When it could down from the scary language: that's just market research firm with a guy in charge that's really really good. They're not changing ballots they're doing things like ad revenue and advanced algorithms on places like Facebook ...at the worst they can be compared to Russian bots.
I agree that that kind of advanced marketing goes above and beyond commercials and similiar(which is what the current restrictions are designed for) but there's nothing inherently illegal about it. I agree we should probably look into more restrictions around that but they don't exist now.
Just like crape laws are lighter in Romania;)
xgamer444: Keep in mind, though, that in the west, an accusation of rape, without evidence, is enough to ruin people's lives.
This is the reason Tate has given. And people are conflating that with him admitting to rape.
I would also prefer to live in a country where a girl can't randomly accuse me of rape and ruin my life because she's vindictive, jealous, crazy, regretful, or manipulative.
These kinds of laws are part of the reason guys are slowing down on marriage, dating... even approaching women and simping are declining.
MisfireCu: Your comment looked at in isolation sure. I mean there's agurements about how that happens way less then you are worried about but that's not worth fighting.
Outside of isolation as a set with every other comment Tate has said about women: is alarming at the least.
xgamer444: And we come full circle: alarming, perhaps. Proof of a crime? No.
MisfireCu: BUT back to the point. While it's not enough evidence in court saying "I like to groom women then use them like objects" and "I'm not a rapist but I like forcing women" is very much an admission.
Saying "our market research wizard is better then their market research wizard" is not anywhere close to an admission of election fraud
xgamer444: Listen I've taken a lot of crap today for my hot takes, and you've been really respectful so I'm saying this in an amicable way:
The frame you've built here about market research is something we can argue is correct or not. The point I was making a few comments back is that plenty of people publicly did come out and say very suspicious things about altering the election. Again, we can argue whether what they said falls into my understanding or yours, but in the end no further action was taken.
You said biden never came out and directly said he stole the election. And yet, from a lot of people's perspectives, many dems did come out and flaunt it publically. That doesn't mean that it happened.
Besides, you can't expect someone to come out and literally admit they stole an election, can you? No politician talks like that.
*I've read this comment a few times and man it's all over the place. Let me see if I can clear this up better.*
Many people have confessed to crimes they haven't actually committed. There's a range of motivations for doing this. One of them is machismo, which is a big deal for Tate. I can absolutely see him claiming to do something he didn't do. For clout, for clicks, for fun, for his ego.
Another confounding issue is people twisting what he says. I've heard people make all kinds of claims as to what has come out of Andrew Tate's mouth. When I investigate these claims, they often flat out put words in his mouth or assume his meaning.
Politics and social issues are complicated, and people are getting emotional and making assumptions about the guy. In the process, they're condemning someone who might be innocent but that has made himself look bad.
Maybe I'm just a bored redditor with nothing better to do, my crusade falling on deaf ears. Maybe I can't convince the masses to slow down and wait for the facts to come out. It just frustrates me when misinformation is spread this way.
People formed factually incorrect opinions about Rittenhouse, Trump, and who knows who else before the facts came out. People have rioted, burned, and killed in protest before, during, and after court proceedings without even knowing what really happened.
It's painful to watch the court of public opinion act as judge, jury, and sometimes executioner, with a seemingly total disregard for the truth.
MisfireCu: I always try to start respectful. Even when I swear it's as a adjective or adverb applied to a point not the person in talking to lol
I admit I came into this debate thinking you thought one thing and was interested to see that you thought different and what that was.
Not to say I agree with you on anything but it was a way more pleasant debate then I was anticipating and I like having them because it reminds us all not to live in either side of echo chambers.
If you read an off branch of this conversation I talked about some of my experience working as a market research analyst. Some of what you raise i do find alarming. But it's unfortunately legal and everyone ( dems, cons, private sector,) does it. It's why it's very very important to get views from anyone that's NOT in your selected bubble.
xgamer444: The conversations I've had today have taught me some things about myself, and I enjoyed ours in particular.
MisfireCu: Glad to here! And everyone is learning till the day they die.

1661274258 | 1661274919 | t3_wvu4v5 | t5_2to41 | 7 | Airballoon69: Tifu by telling my family that i hate living with them
I just need to get this off my chest, i didn't want to vent to my friends so here i am using reddit for the 1st time.
Here's the background. I'm a highschool student 16f the 2nd oldest among 3 other siblings 18m "B", 14f "M" and 11m "D" that's just how I'm gonna call them. As most of us know the oldest daughter in poc families are overworked and under appreciated but adding on that, my older brother has a disability which makes him act so much younger than his age (that's how mom explained it to me) so besides being the middle child I'm expected to act like the oldest to the point i starting developing anxiety at a young age. Oh and that leaves my younger sibling being spoiled to the max.
So here's what happened, 2 days ago the whole house got sick, me and my younger siblings got our temperature increased and all. M recovered quickly. But me and D got really sick to the point we were shaking and unable to eat (looking at the bright side, i lost some weight hehe) . So today i woke up to my mother telling my father to take my brother to the hospital, i didn't comment on that but i complained that i couldn't even drink water without feeling disgusted. My father looked at me frowning and then says the dumbest shit i heard today, he went "wait,you're really sick?" like bro weren't kicked out of your bedroom so mom looks after ME and my youngest brother? Then mom goes "oh and i think ash needs to see a doctor" YOU THINK? So i went to see a doctor, my father assumed that whatever the doctor prescribed me with applies to my brother so i was the only one who went to see a doctor. When mom found out she went NUTS complaining about how her little baby boy is suffering and went on about how he deserved being checked on instead of me. I felt hurt because she didn't really care about the fact that i rarely get sick like that, we do have financial issues rn so i excused her but i lost it at some point when my sister was running away from her chores, i had to leave my bed from an annoying headache and prepare lunch for my father. I woke up my sister who was already doing well, i told her to quickly get up just for that little spoiled brat to go to the bathroom and spend over 30 mins in there. She exactly knows what she's doing. She knows that my parents will start cussing at me even though it's her task. I felt so frustrated so i yelled at her when she showed up, asked her for an excuse and she went with the usual one "i was shitting" well okay. My last straw was when my mom took her side and here's how the convo went
Mom: stop yelling at her she's sleeping and she's really tired.
Me:you know I'm really tired as well, and M should be fine.
Mom: but she stayed up until 5 am to make breakfast for your father, she's not a lazy brat like you.
Okay that's where i lost it and began to complain about the way they all treat me. I told them i will try to move to my own apartment when I'm in college so that they can carry themselves,maybe they'll learn. I don't hate my family. I have some issues with my father that I'm trying to fix but overall i don't hate them.
TL : DR : i hate the fact that my parents put me last and my younger siblings are using that against me
AmbroseRotten: "TL;DR" is basically where you put a very short summary of the story - it stands for "too long; didn't read"

1661273086 | 1661317093 | t3_wvtn6f | t5_2to41 | 180 | calmbook_24: TIFU by responding to someone on Ancestry.
A few years ago I took an Ancestry DNA test kit because I wanted to know my different ethnicities. I didn't take it to find any relatives or missing family, because my family is already pretty big and we keep in touch with just about everyone. I'm also not adopted, and my biological parents are still together.
I don't frequent the website much, however, they will still send updates to my email about new ethnicity results and messages that I get on my account. I opened my email and had a message from someone who I didn't recognize. She didn't have any last names that would indicate that she is apart of my close or more extended family. For the sake of this story, I will call her Claire.
Claire didn't take her ancestry test until February of this year, so I'm guessing that she was still navigating the website until she found me and my dad. My dad and I share the same last name, which is one that Claire didn't recognize from any of her close or more extended family either. According to the ancestry website, Claire shares enough DNA with my dad to be his second cousin, and she shares enough DNA with me to be my second or third cousin. When Claire messaged us, she told us that she was trying to find out who her grandpa on her father's side was, because her dad never knew his dad. I will call Claire's dad Tom. Upon looking at Claire's profile further, I found out that she and I have shared DNA with people whose last names are the same as my grandmother on my father's side maiden name.
As I began researching further, Claire told me that Tom's mother, who I will call Maxine, traveled in my home state for a bit in 1950. Claire told me that Maxine liked to mess around with navy men, but during her travels she fell pregnant and went back to her home state. She wouldn't tell anyone who the father was, and she also never told the father that she was pregnant. Through my grandmother on my father's side, I found out that my great grandfather (my grandmother's father) was in the navy in 1950 while in our home state. My great grandfather went out with his navy friends and they drank a lot. During this time, my great grandfather was also two years into his marriage with my great grandmother.
Looking at the timelines that we have and the DNA and shared matches as well, Claire and I highly suspect that my great grandfather had a child with Maxine, and that that child was Tom. Because Maxine never told my great grandfather, he had no part in Tom's life and couldn't have known anything about this, which explains why no one in my family knows about Maxine at all. Apparently, both of my great grandparents were alcoholics and were not always aware of what they were doing. Both my grandmother and her cousin said that they wouldn't be surprised if my great grandfather cheated on my great grandmother. My great grandmother had also once said that even she wouldn't have been surprised if he cheated on her while in the navy. We also compared a picture of my great grandfather with Tom, and they have similar features, as well as features that other people in my family share with him.
Although it could have been one of my great grandfather's brothers who slept with Maxine, the DNA that Claire shares with my father and I seems too close for any other possibility. Everyone's ages in the stories match up (Claire is only two years younger than my parents.) My grandmother is now keen that she had a half brother. Unfortunately Tom passed away over a decade ago so she can't meet him, but luckily enough we have Claire to talk to.
So, how did I FU? Well, now that I have uncovered this discovery with Claire, people on my father's side of the family are pissed off now knowing that my great grandfather had an affair only two years into his marriage with my great grandmother. He went on to have five kids with her, and now we are finding out that he had a whole other child with another woman. Claire mentioned to me that she would like to travel to come and meet us since her father, Tom, was so keen on meeting his biological dad and his side of the family, but when I mentioned this to my family they seemed very indifferent on that idea. To sum things up, some of my family is now pissed off and doesn't want to believe what may be true. I now feel like I am going to be blamed for uncovering my great grandfather's scandalous past, even though he is the one at fault for cheating. I already had one family member tell me to stop talking to Claire and leave it alone, but at this point I am too far in and want to know everything that I can.
TL;DR: I messaged someone back on ancestry about her dad who never knew his own dad, and I most likely uncovered an affair that my great grandfather had two years into his marriage with my great grandmother. Woman wants to meet my family, but now my family is indifferent and most likely are upset.
Edit: I forgot to add that Tom's birthday is in February of 1951, so conception checks out as well.
froot_loop_dingus: The only one here who fucked up was the great grandfather who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. If your relatives are unhappy, he’s the one they need to be unhappy with

( I'll try to keep this as short as possible)
I don't know why I am uploading such a topic. But I just felt like i wanted to let my my early life story out to the public. I don't know if this seems like I am self obsessed with myself.
So basically, I am 13 right now. My dad is 51 and my mother 45.
They met 20 years ago, and my mother had many successful skin and self care centers as her business. Until she met my dad. He was a nobody. Just a random person.
After a few years of being together, my mom finally let up about 30 percent of her main company to my father. They haven't even married yet. She sold her other companies when she was pregnant with me because my dad told her to "stay more at home because of the pregnancy" and that she needs "to rest", although my mother insisted she was completely fine and fit enough to run her businesses. With my mother's last business, which was now the only source of income for the both of them, my father secretly signed some documents while forging my mom's signature which changed his share of the company to 50 percent without telling her. Obviously they gought about that, but in the end my mother put the arguments to a halt.
Anyways, my mother told me that my father beat her while she was pregnant with me, and also until I was 3. One day, after all the arguments, she got tired of all of it and just snapped and hit my father back. She told me she really got him. She left the house, alone, so I was with my father. She came back to the house the next day, only to find that she was locked out. She got kicked out.
I'm going to skip some time here.
For the next 4 years, until I was 7, they fought against each other in court, but my father was granted full custody of me as my mother was alone and had no one else. Her presentation was not good. My father still beat me too.
Keep in mind they weren't married ever, which makes me an illegitimate child.
Oh I forgot to mention that my dad met someone else, who is my stepmother as of now, when I was 5. She (this is the only part from my own memory) treated me really well when my father was around, but when my father left for "work" to his company, which was previously my mother's, my stepmother treated me like absolute dog shit and she manipulated me alot.
When I was 9, me and my mother made a plan for me to come back to her, this was all in secret. I packed packed my stuff and my mother secretly picked me up.
My parents fought for me in court again, and right now, I am living with my mother, and have been for the past 4 years. We are struggling quite a bit financially though. My mother only has temporary custody of me right now as they are STILL fighting for me. My father isn't paying for child support and is trying to escape that.
It may seem like my father is the only bad one, but my mother also seems to be a bit crazy. She seems to have a bipolar personality. Randomly she just screams at me and hits me and chokes me and punches me. She gets angry very easily, and I don't know how much of this fucking bullshit I can take anymore. I feel like ending myself.
Yeah I think this is the end for this story, it's already quite long. I just felt like sharing my story. Im not expecting for people to comment here and feel empathetic towards me. I just wanted wanted let this shit out, yk?
TL;DR my dad fucked my mom over and now I'm getting fucked over
Senior_Air6397: Things will get better my friend, speak to your teachers in school and tell them everything. I’m sure they’ll help
robotnique: She definitely needs a confidante, but she should think before blindly trusting just any teacher. She should do what you said, but choose wisely. She would be best off if she can get her parents to have her see a professional.

1661285696 | 1661420795 | t3_wvytvh | t5_2to41 | 338 | Dr-Gonzo69: TIFU I have crippling social anxiety but now an old job wants to hire me as a manager.
[removed]
rockyp321: The only way to get over your fears is by facing them head on. You can obviously do the job. Take the job and go crush it. In meantime take some baby steps as mentioned by the other poster. Also try some melatonin if you truly start freaking out. You have no problems expressing yourself online , So I have no doubts you can smash it in the real world. It's really not that hard most ppl are sympathetic it's human nature. The other 5 percent don't even let them phase u, Just let it bounce off and don't take it to heart. Also if you have some true friends pls don't shut them out because if they are true friends you will be kicking yourself later in life as true friends are very very hard to comeby. Good luck and go kill it I know u can do it. Will be watching for an update.
dragomirgage: No. Facing them head on does not work for everyone/every fear. Go see a therapist. They are trained to help YOU figure out the best way for YOU to deal with it.
rockyp321: Never once seen a therapist heal someone completely. They just create more attention on the issue. It may not work for everyone because they can't bring themselves to go for it. But once you stop overthinking and just go for it. You realize how easy it really was and overcome that fear.
dragomirgage: Therapy may not work for everyone. And your way may have worked for you. But you portrayed your way as the only way, which is patently false, and far more likely to cause lasting harm than therapy is. Therapists are trained in helping people to deal with anxiety and know what drugs can help.
I have a phobia of heights. I have exposed myself to a number of situations that have scared me, and to some extent, I can push myself through, but only to a point.
rockyp321: Therapists are useless. I never once said it was the only way. Wtf are u talking about. Therapists coddle ppl and just prolong the fear. Like I said I've never seen one actually fix anyone. Positive encouragement is what I was trying to do. Maybe it's just my area of the world but we have some large cities around and know dozens upon dozens of ppl going to physiatrist's as well as full blown physcologist's and never once have I seen them fully healed. Temporary bandage maybe. Nothing cures anxiety better than overcoming whatever triggers it. And fears of height? I fell 45 feet and shattered my pelvis, broke my back in 2 places and my foot. And I was anxious as all heck to get back on a roof and even had night terrors about. I was airlifted to the city and spent the next year and a half learning to walk again. The first thing I had to do when I got back was go up on the roof and finish my contract and retrieve my tools etc. Yes it was brutally difficult and very scary but I took my time and got it done. By the fifth roof my fear had completely gone away and I work with heights almost everyday. Pushing through can do extraordinary things. A heck of alot more than any councillors or physcologist's have done for me that's for sure. Do whatever works for u. I was merely trying to explain what has worked for me and countless others I have helped cross the line. P.s. keep working with heights and your fear will eventually dissapear.

1661288697 | 1661296777 | t3_ww022e | t5_2to41 | 35 | Nearby-Revolution-24: TIFU by asking my date to show me their cold sore
I’ve been chatting with this guy who lives two hours away for like 6 months on and off. He’s extremely cute and a bit of a micro-influencer type. He seemed interested, we did some cyber sex several times and whatnot. But trying to get to know him was so hard because his texting was often really cold and I just didn’t know the right way to try to build the connection, so I was really eager to meet him in person and find out if we actually liked each other for real and maybe push past that roadblock.
He suggested I come to visit and eventually I found a day that worked. The plan was to get dinner, and he told me I should book a room in case it led to more. He ended up canceling several days before and gave an excuse why. I ate the cost of the room and was disappointed but still wanted to meet him. We’ve both been busy so I tried to stay in touch and he seemed like he was still interested in me visiting. It took several months before we were able to set a date again and it was very frustrating because I had a big crush on him and really just wanted to meet him in person to get over the intimidation factor.
There’s a contest I go to every year in his city, so I asked if he wanted to meet that day and he said yes. We arranged dinner and I booked a room again. He unfortunately accidentally showed up for the date one day early, but said it was nbd and we would still meet the next day.
The next morning right before I leave, he tells me he has a huge cold sore on his lip and cancels our date. I’m disappointed but don’t blame him and say it’s nbd. I relayed that I also get cold sores so I understand, and I playfully asked him to show me to try to signal I wouldn’t judge him for it (this was on Snapchat). He refused. I know this isn’t weird at all, but in my mindset at the time of being very unsure about how much he actually likes me, and the previous canceled date, it made me ponder whether he was lying about the cold sore and just wanted an excuse not to go through with the date.
I didn’t do as well as I hoped at the contest and was in a bit of a shitty mood about it.
Afterwards, I offered to pick him up so we could just grab Starbucks quick, just so I could meet him for like 20 minutes or so. He said “I’m not leaving the house looking like this”. I suggested he could wear a mask but stopped pushing after he refused. I skipped the Airbnb and just drove home that night.
After 6 months of trying to connect with this guy, I was really frustrated not knowing if he was lying or not. If he was, I would just block him and move on knowing he wasn’t interested, but if he wasn’t I still wanted to meet him. I was really sad at the idea that I might have spent all this time, money, and energy trying to connect with him when he maybe just wasn’t interested and couldn’t tell me for some reason.
Well the next evening, he posted a selfie on his Instagram story with no cold sore to be seen. I felt crushed. I usually don’t get emotional about things like this, and I don’t think I realized how emotional I was in the moment.
I should have just pretended I didn’t see it and moved on. But I instead replied with an emoji. He responded with two words: “old content”, but I didn’t know what to believe. The photo was posted around 7pm, and you could clearly see the sun low in the sky exactly where it should have been if he had just taken the photo.
I foolishly decided to be open about my emotions with this guy I barely know. I asked him to show me the cold sore again, and said something like “I just felt kind of played when I saw that photo pop up and I would rather feel silly and embarrassed for asking than have to keep wondering about it”.
Big mistake.
He responded very harshly and defensively saying he doesn’t owe me anything. I tried to backtrack and say sorry for asking and explain that I was just a bit emotional about everything. He just said he’s no longer interested in pursuing anything with me.
I spent the next several hours convinced he was just lying to me and that’s why he got so defensive. Thinking he’s just a jerk who was playing me.
And then I cleared my head a bit and suddenly realized how ridiculous I was.
I thought it was a red flag he wouldn’t show me his cold sore the first time, because that’s the kind of thing I would have no problem with, but obviously some people are very self conscious of their appearance.
I thought it was weird that he didn’t want to see me even with a mask on, but if maybe he was just nervous to meet me too and wanted it to be perfect.
I was convinced he was lying about the photo being old because of the sun, but he’s like a mini-influencer, so of course he would want to still post selfies regularly even when he has a cold sore. And it was fucking **golden hour** when everyone takes selfies, so of course he would have had extras taken at that time.
I’m usually not so emotional about people and consider myself fairly clearheaded, so when I realized all at once I was the dumbass here and I ruined it all by myself I just started sweating so much and wanted to cry.
I still don’t know whether he was lying, but I know I’m the one who ruined any chance of us getting to meet.
TL;DR A guy canceled our date because he said he had a cold sore. It was the second date he’s canceled and he lives 2 hours away, so I got suspicious he was lying because of emotions. He later posted a selfie where he didn’t have a cold sore and when I reacted he said it was an old photo. I was so emotional about the thought of being lied to that I asked him to show me the cold sore. He blew up and is no longer interested.
Unl0vableDarkness: He was soo lying and you've dodged a bullet.
Seems like he was using you to get off over the phone when he was bored and had zero interest in meeting face to face, infact it wouldn't surprise me if he has a GF and didn't want to be seen with you in his hometown incase someone recognised him with you and blabbed.
Find yourself someone who deserves you.
Nearby-Revolution-24: He’s single. And gay. He actually knows some people who I know which makes the whole thing even more embarrassing.
I fumbled the bag.
But thanks for your nice words.
I wanna get out of this shitty state and move to a city so I can meet people who don’t live 2 hours away lol.
Unl0vableDarkness: Oh well it could be a slew of other things then. He could still have a secret relationship though. He's not going to exactly be like well I'm in a LTR but I want you to strip on cam for me is he. Cos that would be exceptionally c*nty.
But yeah. You get yourself somewhere with decent people. People who treat you like you should be treated. People who pay for the hotel room and champagne and strawberries and canned whipped cream (for licking off bodies not the strawbs ;p)
Good luck.
Edit to say. I did assume gender when I saw hormones. I immediately thought, female, period, because I relate to that ha ha.
Nearby-Revolution-24: I didn’t say anything about hormones lol.
Unl0vableDarkness: Emotional = hormonal to me haha. Like I said, girl haha.

Obligatory, this happened around 5 years ago.
I was trying to set my email on a microsoft account and accidentally deleted his. He forgave me and said all was good. No big deal right? Recently his phone has locked his apple id and the only way to unlock it is by looking at a email sent to his deleted email.
This is really bothering me, he cannot update apps. Everytime i try to fix it he wont let me and just says it will be ok but j want him to be able to enjoy his iPhone. currently balling my eyes out over it. i feel terrible.
I want him to have quality to his life but he just doesn’t care that much for his iphone but i can tell he’s frustrated with it. he says i need to let go about it but i want to help but he doesn’t want it. can anybody please reassure me i don’t need to do anything. i have some mental issues and it’s really fucking with me. it’s not his fault he just literally doesn’t care that much. I know he loves me but i feel awful.
TL;DR Deleted my fathers email and i still feel like shit because he won’t let me help him with it.
Sagail: Just call Apple support. Or try recreating the email
feelbadzinc: I have tried but he will not let me. I just want some sort of comfort. I hate this.
robotnique: Explain to him how you feel and that he would actually be doing you a favor by letting you take him to the apple store or whatever.
If you make it out that he would be doing this for your benefit it might be easier for him to make time to do.

MagicToolbox: It's the right thing to do, and as cool as the janitor was to help you clean up, you don't want to give them a way to hold this over you.
SteakMenu: Agreed not only would I not have used a pistol grip sprayer (unless my boss directed me to)I would have kinked the hose and carried it with me to the spigot while I turned it on to avoid this whole thing but you live and learn just make sure you don't try to hide it because if the janitor mentions it to someone who mentions it to someone by the time your boss hears they may think you just sprayed the hose in there for the fun of it and it's a way worse situation at that point

The_Razielim: Seriously. Btwn shit in grad school not working + big breakup in the middle of all that... I was a fucking mess for several years, and it really was only the very persistent caring of several friends that pushed me to get help, start seeing a therapist, and extract my head from my own ass*. I say with 100% certainty and gratitude, they saved my life.
*specifically referencing myself and my journey/demons, not the process itself. I'm fully aware of how difficult it is to finally take the step to seek therapy/help; and sometimes said therapy finally allows you to take a step back, and gain some perspective. In my case, I really needed to get the fuck over myself and stop wallowing. Everyone else's mileage/baggage may vary.

1661291949 | 1661294251 | t3_ww1dpn | t5_2to41 | 99 | ohgodwhydidisaythis: TIFU by thinking a girl was dropping off a foster kitten for adoption.
I literally created an account just to share my embarrassment. I ( 30 F ) work at a pet shelter where people can adopt, foster, etc. We take in animals off the street, and then if they don’t belong to anybody, we set them up for foster. We have these two lovely people, a father ( 47 M ) and a daughter ( 15 F), who foster regularly. I came in to work this morning and saw the daughter hugging a carrier and crying.
This is where I fuck up. I sat next to her and rubbed her back, and said: “ I know it‘s hard saying goodbye to them, but just think. They get to go to a forever family where they can live a nice, long and happy life. “ She looked at me in silence for a moment before quietly saying. “ We’re here to drop her off for cremation, she died last night… “ I. Was. Mortified. I sputtered out an apology and a “ sorry for your loss “ before I left to just walk around the kennels. I can’t even think about them anymore without cringing, because I know they’re coming back to foster as soon as there’s an opportunity, and I’ll have to talk to them. Someone please cremate me too.
TL;DR: Thought a kid was dropping off a foster kitten for adoption, turns out it was for cremation.
fonebone819: You are being too hard on yourself. It's an honest mistake. I'm sure they will "forgive" you. Next time you see them, see if you can just say sorry again. Maybe explain that you couldn't see in the carrier, etc. I get where you are feeling cringy, but you didn't do anything wrong
Good luck!
nuraman00: Good advice, agree.

1661293774 | 1661303038 | t3_ww242l | t5_2to41 | 11 | sybyrrr_: TIFU by not caring about my mom’s dinner
I, (15f) fucked up by not caring about my mom's
dinner.
So i decided to post here because i don't know what
to do and to really just spit out about it since i'm an only child and i could never talk to anyone about the problems with my family and i felt that here i could.
This didn't happen today but yesterday. My mom made dinner yesterday, she made 50% of it and i was in charge of doing the other 50% for myself (since its
summer break and i spend the whole day alone in my house) and for my parents once they get home. I was
in charge of the rice and the chicken.
Well i cooked everything for me very well and everything was really good, since i'm not used to
cook that much by myself i sent a picture to my parents and my mom replied that she was excited to
eat it and etc.
Time passes and my dad gets home.
He says that he will do the chicken this time, i say “ok, sure”. I thought he was gonna prepare the rest for my
mom and everything would be ready once she came home. Unfortunately, my dad just did the chicken and
nothing else, my mom got home and saw that the table wasn't ready and the chicken was raw inside.
She got really upset because she always made sure everything was well put on the table for my dad and I
during dinner, she cried about how we don't do that to her and that she felt like she didn't deserve it, how my dad was never caring and that this was a small act of showing you
love and care for someone.
I would like to keep in
mind that my dad is never caring, ever, and i know how this affects my mom, since their relationship is so balanced on one side and I'm the one that usually does things for her.
She was very upset and angry to the point of almost crying while my dad told her she was being dramatic
and it wasn't that deep and other bad things.
I feel awful because i knew it was my duty to do that for her and i failed and now she is terribly upset with me like she never was before. My mom has always been my favorite since she is always the one who
makes me laugh and actually wants to spend time with me unlike my dad, so having her so mad at me like that has been awful. She hasn't spoke or looked
at me or my dad for the past day.
l also tried talking/apologize but she doesn't reply. I need to leave her alone for awhile, she has all the
right to be mad and me trying to talk to her will only make things worse.
TL;DR : Today I fucked up because I didn’t care about my mom’s dinner and now she won’t even look at me.
UPDATE: Talked to my mom and we kinda ranted for awhile and she told me to just reflect about things, to be grateful and to learn to not be like my dad. It is sad that their relationship has been low for awhile and i’ve picked my dads worst habit about not doing the most for the ones i loved. She told me it wasn’t mostly about the food but how this has been going on for years, the lack of consideration he has for her since he doesn’t know any better. I know about the previous mistakes i’ve made and will change to be a better person to my mom, someone who deserves all the best and more. Thank you everyone in the replies. 🫶
fenriq: This reads like your mother is emotionally abusing you.
D3vilUkn0w: Oh come on. We've all had our moms wig out like this from time to time. OP and her mom will be just fine...just gotta wait out the emotions for a bit. Then go back and try to explain/apologize.
fenriq: She hasn't spoken to or looked at her 15 year old daughter for a day over a miscommunication about dinner. You don't think that's abusive?
At the very least, OP's mom has some anger issues. Or expectation issues.
Better communication would probably resolve alot of these problems though.
D3vilUkn0w: Her mom is mad at her dad and the situation she is in. OP made the mistake of trusting her dad, and dad didnt come through. Mom probably knows how it went down but the pent up emotions are spilling over. But given OP usually helps her mom and they have previously got on well this has got to be a one off, her mom will come around. Of course I'm just a random internet stranger making guesses but based on the info provided I'm pretty convinced OP will deal with a day or two of upset mom, then things will likely get back to normal. She can help things along by looking out for ways to help her mom and try to cheer her up in the meantime.

I (32 male) have been with my husband (28 male) for a total of six years, married for three. Earlier today we got into an argument about me staying out late last night after promising I’d be home to spend time with him. I’ve been busy with work lately and I haven’t been able to see him often. I tried explaining to him that I got caught up in a mandatory meeting so I had to stay behind. Every time I tried speaking he would speak over me. I wasn’t angry or frustrated so I don’t know what came over me, but I just wanted him to be quiet so I could speak.
The next time he interrupted I just punched him.
He stumbled back and fell into the wall. I never want to see him in pain or be the reason he’s hurt. When I tried to apologize and comfort him, he wouldn’t let me touch him. I’ve never seen him so afraid. All I could do was say I was sorry. When he stood up, he just walked out crying. He wouldn’t make eye contact with me. Later his mom texted me to inform me that he’ll be staying with her for a while. I feel horrible and I honestly don’t know what to do. I love him so much and if this will be the reason he leaves me, I will never forgive myself. Please help! I don’t know what to do.
TL;DR : Long story short I really fucked myself over by punching my husband during an argument. I don’t know what to do.
asavage1491: This is why we keep our hands to ourselves. Theres nothing you can do now. You crossed the line. You can be sorry all you want. The man was trying to get some attention and you punched him for it. If he comes back, it would be a miracle and you best believe theres going to be ultimatums.

1661302859 | 1661374522 | t3_ww5jn4 | t5_2to41 | 2,402 | JGWentworthgetNOW: TIFU by giving my wife a brief view of world politics.
I never thought I would be posting here as I (50m) have been together with my wife (51f) for almost 30 years and have a very trusting and fun relationship. Yet today I fell for one the oldest tricks in the book, expecting a laugh, perhaps even a "You Wish" reply from my wife.
So to begin, my wife does not like politics. Whenever a conversation starts about it she will always bow out or try to change the subject. She definitely knows what is going on and is very knowledgeable of current affairs, but does not enjoy discussing the reasons behind it. I am a middle of the road democrat and have no trouble debating back and forth on any subject. So on the fuck up.
I was looking over the popular Reddit posts when I came across the video of the Finnish PM Sanna Marin dancing at a club with some singer guy. I audibly said, "Uh-Oh, now she's in trouble". My wife, sitting not far from me asked who was in trouble. So I told her. I then proceeded to tell her about the flak that Sanna Marin has been taking about partying and pictures and videos of the same, and her taking a drug test and all of that. But the fuck up came when I showed her the video of her dancing with the singer guy. She agreed with me that the video is going to cause problems with the very least her home life, but then she asked to watch the video again and that is when she asked THE question. "Do you think she's attractive?"
Over the course of 30 years I bet I have been asked this question at least a few dozen times. Depending on the circumstances I have had a variety of different answers. For example, when in our twenties and early thirties, if we were out at a restaurant and an overly flirty waitress was trying to obtain a better tip and I was asked I would answer with something along the lines of, "She is ok looking, but not near as beautiful as you". If the same situation presented itself while in our late thirties or forties, I would however answer with a little more playful ribbing. Such as "She is ok looking but not as beautiful as you. Besides you know that I hate a woman with breasts that large". And my answers were always met with laughter or a playful smack to the side of my head. So when presented this question about a woman in her mid thirties who lives thousands of miles away and even without the age and distance difference would be totally out of my league, my tiny brain tells me to say, "I'd do her".
No laughter, no playful smack, just a hmmmm and a frown. I have been around long enough to know this means I sleep on the couch tonight and will probably be shot down next time I try for fun time but I swear I only said it as a joke and thought she would laugh. I will be ordering flowers tomorrow morning making sure she knows that she is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me.
TL;DR Told my wife I would have sex with the Finnish Prime Minister and now I am in the doghouse.
Edit: I guess I need to do an edit to address a few common remarks. I believe that is proper Reddit etiquette anyway, although it may just be easier to delete this account and start a new one. Anyway number 1: For the people who suggested that my wife is immature and/or somehow jealous, distrustful, or lacking self-confidence you are wrong on all counts. I believe as someone commented it is healthy to ask and talk about things like this. My answer to the question was a little crude and the PM is 36 years old and that's why I got the response I did. She fully recognizes that I find other people attractive as I know that she does too. We are committed to each other and have a healthy relationship. If you can't have fun back and forth then it's not really worth it is it?
Number 2: For the folks that pointed out that my title is shit. Thanks. But seriously it's my fault for not being a good story teller or writer. My only point was supposed to be that she tries to avoid politics in general, and did not have previous knowledge of the situation. And that's why I went in depth explaining and showing the video. So my fault but you don't have to be rude.
C: I apologized last night and was able to sleep in the bed, so all of you who were saying be a man and have her sleep on the couch, I did be a man and apologized and we both slept in the bed.
IV: I've always wanted to list things like this.
Desalonne25: We have a rule in our house.....don't ask questions you don't want to hear the answer too...but also when the wife asks if another woman is attractive the answer is always "I don't know I only have eyes for you" because we don't fall for the bait on those questions sir.
7deuc2e: That's why you date/marry a girl that's bi, that way you can both appreciate a hot lady together
91901bbaa13d40128f7d: Did that. Enjoyed it. She came out as completely gay. Stopped enjoying it.
SignificantMonk6141: Ross is that you?
joos1986: **WE** WERE ***ON*** A *BREAK*!
SignificantMonk6141: Just so you know, it's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy....and it is a big deal!!

1661307417 | 1661351031 | t3_ww76wy | t5_2to41 | 12,126 | Jonnythecontractor: tifu: drinking water gave me kidney stones
I gave myself kidney stones drinking water
So. I'm 35, i go on a health kick. Trying to slim down my dad bod.. I drink a lot of water because I do HVAC, outside.
Of late I've been drinking the high alkali water. PH 9+ stuff. Smart water, 7-11 water, etc. Usually because I'm lazy, and also because I lack ice, and the space necessary to cart around a barrel of fun (80's throwback)
So I noticed some pain in my lower back, on Sunday, I thought it was muscles, the whole, new workout, get fit.
End of the day I was in excruciating pain from mid back around to the front and all down my left side, then the right side started hurting. I also noticed I hadn't been peeing much.
Went to the docs on monday, it's kidney stones. They assume it's calcium oxalate, the common type. Weird I haven't been upping my calcium intake aside from a 1 a day vitamin.
Proceeded to drink 3 gallons of water and 2 gallons of limeade in a day.
Still hardly peeing given the MASSIVE fluid intake.
Wakeup this morning with a bursting bladder. Sprint to the bathroom.
It's a firehose, but not just a regular firehose, it's pouring out me with force, splashing against the toilet so hard it's spraying back against my legs.
Then the pain hits. With emphasis. I regret my life choices. I feel the stream lessen, and what feels like gravel start tearing through my urethra. #Ohno. Oh yes. Out comes what feels like gravel tearing through my shaft and tip. Ever wondered what peeing gravel feels like? It's gross. And not fun.
Try and catch them with strainer.
Success, drop off to lab.
But hey, my kidneys don't hurt, and my back isn't in agony from just existing.
Go to gas station for my coffee, breakfast, and waters, look at the ingredients on the ph 9+ stuff. Water, calcium carbonate. FML. I've been drinking this stuff for like 3+ months straight, there's my extra calcium intake.
Call doc's office, explain to nurse I won't need any extra procedures for stone breaking. Explain what happened, she laughs, says it's good news, stick to regular water.
DOH
Here's your PSA: don't drink the koolaid and by that I mean the mineral laden water, for months on end.
TL;DR:
Drank ph 9 water for 3 months. Gave myself kidney stones. They increase PH via calcium carbonate that leads to calcium oxalate stones.
****update:
Yes, I borrowed my dad's strainer, he gets calcium oxalate stones, from too much calcium in his diet, he's been getting them for 20 years. You get to learn a lot when family has already gone through it.
After I get my stones back from the doc, we'll know for sure what mine are. I'm currently logbooking everything for the doctor, so that they can identify precisely what it is. There were a half dozen 3-4mm-ish stones from imaging. So just a little wider than the ureter, causing just enough blockage to cause problems.
It's more than likely a combination of factors, and not just water, I'm aware, but hey, I thought it was funny, and it has been my only real calcium intake.
anthony_is_: You thought you knew pain, and then you pissed a glass asterisk.
rasich: Oh god at first I was afraid, now I'm terrified
_large_skillets: Oh dude it’s the type of pain that morphine doesn’t touch. It’s so terrible that your brain will never let you remember how bad it really was.
So when people say it’s bad just know it’s so so so much worse than that.
phroug2: The way I describe it to people is to have them imagine one of those 3-pronged fishing hooks being pulled by a line all the way from the kidneys to the bladder.
That's the closest I can get to describing an undescribable level of pain.
BeneGezzWitch: I had both my kids without pain management. 8 hours for one and 13 hours for the other one, just me and my husband. I’d do that again tomorrow if it meant I’d never have to have another kidney stone. When I had a stone I screamed for my mom. Kidney stones are terrifying.
SaintUlvemann: >I’d do that again tomorrow if it meant I’d never have to have another kidney stone.
You know what? Thanks. ~~I was never afraid of kidney stones thinking "women do pregnancy, and babies are obviously bigger than kidney stones".~~
~~Now~~ I'm drinking water. That's gotta be a good thing.
EDIT: On second read, this comment sounds like a shitty belittling of women's pain.
My brain was thinking something more along the lines of "I've seen how painful pregnancy looks, and I always assumed kidney stones must be less painful because they're smaller, but if kidney stones can actually be *worse...*"
This will be my daily reminder to myself that words have nuances.
Perfct_Spelling: See you think it's bad because you're pissing out stones right? I thought that too. No. It's not the pissing that hurts. It's the small, jagged, spikey rock that gets pushed through your ureter (which is that small pipe that goes from your kidney to your bladder) as slowly as you can imagine. Imagine a lower back pain that doesn't go away no matter how much you move or stretch. It's just this ceaseless, unending pain. A solid 11 on the pain chart.
The pissing hurts too I guess
BeneGezzWitch: You are absolutely correct. I didn’t even feel it when I peed it out but I sure as shit felt it leave my kidney. I was weeping and bent in half when I went to the urgent care and they stopped me at the door and said “whatever this is, we can’t manage it here. Go to the ER”
Perfct_Spelling: Lmao this is a kidney stone support group now. Yeah when my doctor came in, he saw me crawling around on the floor from the pain, and immediately said "yeah you have a kidney stone." He told me that most people were either on the floor or pacing around when they had one lol.
"We're gonna put you on dilauded and scan to see what's in there."
".....I think I love you?"
BeneGezzWitch: Dilauded is just a delight at that point. I got so much of that when my gallbladder gave up the ghost. Dilauded and ice chips, that’s a diet a girl could stick to.
Perfct_Spelling: I can't imagine a better meal plan than that lol. I remember talking to my mom on the way to the ER, and I told her, "listen, i would rather have a paralyzed lower body for the rest of my life than feel this. Please sever my spine and put me in a wheelchair."
Of course, this came out in unintelligible groans of pain as I struggled to sit still in the seat of the car.

1661306447 | 1661316578 | t3_ww6uq7 | t5_2to41 | 18 | Livid-Challenge-6293: TIFU by cyber bullying
During my freshman year of highschool I had no friends. Because of quarantine it was basically impossible for me to make friends so I kind of went insane. I started harassing students from my school on
Instagram with an anonymous account. I stopped before the year ended and never did it again. I accidentally told one of the people from the friend groups I was harassing my real Instagram. During
sophomore year we were in person and I was able to make friends. Now going into my junior year one of my friends is becoming friends with the friend group I
harassed. (the one who has my real Instagram) Somehow despite all the people I harassed no one seems to know it was me. I feel like if people find out now I'Il lose all my friends and my junior and senior year
will be hell. Do I talk to her and apologize ( which could still cost me my social life) or do I keep trying to keep it a secret. I regret what I have done it is coming to haunt me.
TL;DR I cyberbullied someone and now they might tell everyone what I did.
MeSlashy22: That really sucks for both you and that friend group. You live with the guilt of bullying them, and they're now friends with their ex-bully.
Regardless, my suggestion to you would be to keep it to yourself. If the bullying was extremely serious, then it could result in your school taking disciplinary action against you.
The problem that now arises is the fact you told one of the people you're harassing your real Instagram. You could play it off as a lie from the bully. I mean, logically speaking, a cyber bully who's bullying anonymously wouldn't reveal their true identity. And while this may sound suspicious on your part, they'll most likely believe it.
Another suggestion, take your bullying account, and send harassing messages to yourself. That way, you'll seem like a victim too, further taking the blame off of you.
What I said is probably an unpopular opinion, because the belief is that you should be owning up to your mistake and apologizing; however, the fact remains that hiding what you did is in your best interest.
SubtleName12: >What I said is probably an unpopular opinion, because the belief is that you should be owning up to your mistake and apologizing; however, the fact remains that hiding what you did is in your best interest.
This is how you raise children to be dysfunctional POS adults.
Guess what, piper always gotta be paid. Not saying Op should lay down on a sword but they f&@$ed up. Time to accept responsibility.
Apologize and move on, doint be a shitty person from now on. Call it a learning experience. Do it from the bully account and pray to God they don't add 2+2. If they do, well... its still Ops fault. Still gotta accept responsibility and become a better person.
We're not talking jail time, we're talking about being the unpopular kid for a year or two then going away to college.
Better to learn this lesson young.
MeSlashy22: It's a dog eat dog society. When observing how humans behave in social settings, they always make the decision that benefits them. Whether that be emotional pleasure, through helping someone, or financial pleasure, by stealing from someone, or something else. You do what's best for yourself at the cost of others. It's best to learn this lesson young.
I already said that it'd be an unpopular opinion, but like I said, it's what's in OP's best interest. This isn't a learning experience. This is something that could hold OP back in life. And yes, depending on the severity of the crime, OP could face criminal charges, which could prevent them from going to college.
SubtleName12: >You do what's best for yourself at the cost of others. It's best to learn this lesson young.
Exactly, best to stop fucking up, learn personal accountability, and take some ownership of your life so you can learn not to be a shitty person before becoming an adult.
Hate to piss on your parade but the world eats up assholes if they're adults. Learning to not be an asshole is a much better lesson than learning to not to hide it once.
Op's not gonna miss a scholarship because they were mean and sent somebody to the cry closet.
Let's be real about this. If they face charges then it's a lot more serious then they're (Op) letting on to and being dumb enough to confess a crime to random friends and acquaintances then asking the internet for advice is a dead ringer that they're not going to be able to keep a lid on this secret very long so you're wrong either way.
MeSlashy22: > sent somebody to the cry closet.
Perhaps you're not familiar with cyber bullying and its consequences. Suicides among the youth have happened because of online harassment. That's why schools treat this very seriously, regardless of the severity. My advice is not related to making OP a better person, because, quite frankly, there is no good or bad in life objectively speaking. These notions exist solely in the subjective mind, therefore, the ideal way to live life would be to behave in a way that benefits you the most.
Also, the world never eats a holes up if they possess enough power. I don't know what world you woke up from where it's all rainbows and glitter with unicorns flying everywhere, but over here in real world, power counts. And to get power and maintain it, it's necessary to put other's down in society. Success comes at the price of other's failures.
Teaching today's youth abstract notions such as not being aholes and being nice people won't get them anywhere.
SubtleName12: >Perhaps you're not familiar with cyber bullying and its consequences. Suicides among the youth have happened because of online harassment.
You're correct. Largely due to a lack of interest. What I am familiar with, however, is comprehension of the English language in its written form.
That's a tongue-in-cheek way of suggesting you reread the end of my previous comment in specific context to your opinion if you missed it.
If Op's harassment is worthy of criminal charges then Ops decision making skills aren't advanced enough to sweep this under the rug.
Also, since you brought it up,
>Also, the world never eats a holes up if they possess enough power. I don't know what world you woke up from where it's all rainbows and glitter with unicorns flying everywhere, but over here in real world, power counts.
The total number of 15 yo online bullies with enough power to amount to anything resembling relevance to society is, exactly, zero.
>I don't know what world you woke up from where it's all rainbows and glitter with unicorns flying everywhere
This is just the result of poor reading comprehension... I've alluded to exactly the opposite.
>Teaching today's youth abstract notions such as not being aholes and being nice people won't get them anywhere.
I didn't say nice, I said personally accountable. Fuck nice, world eats them up too. Personally accountability and good decision making skills along with some responsibility are all going to be required if anyone is going to be successful.
Put into perspective, drug lords and mob bosses aren't nice. They are however successful. Crack addicts and petty larcenists get arrested. They are not successful.
I'd say no offense but taking a ding to your ego might be benefiting you so interpret this as you will.
Your advise is piss poor and you have no business guiding "today's youth".

Ok-Watch8193: Dude, this is sickening, do mods allow this type of stuff?
I don’t really wanna report it but dude take out the graphic details. I get your traumatized but don’t traumatize us
TallChick66: Apparently, the mods do allow graphic details about sex with minors. I reported it and got a "thanks for reporting it but it doesn't violate our rules."
Ok-Watch8193: I GOT THE SAME THING! I read it and I was horrified

Klumpenmeister: Damn i can't even remember if and when it was possible to log in to a banking system without some kind of 2 factor authentication.
It sounds like a huge security concern.
Congrats though, this was a somewhat wholesome tifu 😊
firstbreathOOC: Users get a “score” every time they hit a secure site. If for example, the IP and browser cookies match a previous session, they have a perfect score and they can bypass 2FA - only if they don’t have it enabled by default.
Klumpenmeister: So if you had a hacker compromise your PC ,they could actually just log your password input and then use your own computer remotely to log in to your bank account. That's pretty easy.
Until recently we had both a paper version and an app version of 2FA to use with all banking, credit card payments online and all government/personal communication like taxes, medical info or really anything where personal identification is needed.
Now it's only an app or a small physical key generator.
So to access my online banking on my PC for example i would need to enter my login for the 2FA which is a country wide system used for everything. Then i need to open the app on my phone and log in with fingerprint or pin to authorize the login on the pc.
Now i can see everything i need to, but if i choose to make any transfers or changes to my budgets or anything then i would need to authorize it on my phone again. This prevents any hacker from quickly abusing an open window left by a victim as every action requires authorization.
Now banking on my phone is a bit less secure as all it takes is actually a pin to access all my banking. But then i can only read stuff, any action would require authorization again from the other app/key generator.
And this same procedure is also needed every time we use our credit cards online to prevent fraud/theft.
Remocracy: This is why my parents refuse to use any sort of digital banking whatsoever. I agree with them honestly.
Klumpenmeister: Beacuse of the 2FA being a bit cumbersome or because of the lack of security in their online bank implementation?
I mean i have taught my grandmother at 88 how to use 2FA with her banks, doctors and government communication. Of course i support her now and again, but mostly she handles theses things just fine.
Remocracy: My dad is the type of person who believes that if you never use online banking you can't ever have your bank credentials stolen. Like he never created an online bank account. And he also doesn't use his credit card online that much because it could also get hacked.
As for 2FA, his job requires it but it's very annoying to use since it has to call his work phone.
Klumpenmeister: Ah ok thats a bit of a weird implementation of the 2FA.
To be honest the banking sector in Denmark is pretty much entirely functioning online. They have cut down so much on local face-to-face help that it is hard to actually find a place that you can deposit cash to as lots of the local bank branches are entirely cash-free.
Even bank appointments are mostly online meetings now i think.
Remocracy: That’s weird. My parents deposit their checks and write checks to utilities or (rarely) pay online with credit card.
Klumpenmeister: We stopped using checks many years ago 😊
Remocracy: Then how do you pay bills? Everything via credit card?
sensitivepistachenut: I'm from Finland and we have pretty much similiar situation as in Denmark. So if you want to pay bills, you have to have an online bank account. No smart phone required though, since you can still use code card combined with sms (during login or a payment in your online account, a bank server sends you a code via sms, then you check the corresponding code from your paper card and type it in your browser and voila! You're logged in/payment was finished). Technically you can still go to your local bank office to pay your bills, but there's not many offices left and they have limited opening hours. That's why, in Nordics, even the most eldery people pay bills via online bank account.
Remocracy: That sounds really dumb. God forbid your wallet and phone gets stolen and now you need cash to buy a new one, how would you do that?
sensitivepistachenut: Well, if you were unlucky and lost your credit/debit card as well, then you'd propably borrow a phone to call your bank and order a new card. If you still have your ID/passport, then you'd have to go to the nearest bank office to depot some cash from your account and pay bills until you have a new phone. If you still have your debit card though, you can simply just go to the nearest atm.
Yeah, bit tricky if you manage to lost your phone, but so it is tricky for criminals to empty your account.

TIFU This happened about 5-6 years ago. Back when I got my first job I was a dishwasher at a local joint nothing big just some pizza joint anyway idk if you know anything about washing dishes for a restaurant but it can get pretty hectic so it was a pretty busy night im running all over the place when I brush past this waitress well I ended up touching her ass on accident and apologized profusely (I was trying to avoid a sexual harassment charge) but as I was apologizing she grinned and said "its ok I don't mind" which I took as a personal challenge so throughout the night when I could i'd cop a feel and she really didn't mind well when the night was about over she said "I bet your to much of a chicken to do it for real" so I slapped her ass right then and there that was the end of it until the end of the night my mom fell asleep and I ended up needing a ride home can you guess who ended up giving me a ride home? so she drove me home and through the whole ride we had a great talk nothing out the normal pretty innocent finally we get to my house and talk a little more but suddenly we both stop and just stare into each others eyes and as that happened I was just like "welp im pretty tired so I'ma head inside" not even 10 minutes later it fuckin hit me... she wanted to kiss!!! (I later confirmed this with her) Im an absolute dumbass 🤣🤣🤣
TLDR; I missed my chance because im A dumbass
beranmuden: So, let me get this straight. Your mom was also at your work, but she fell asleep and you just left without her?!
