[removed]
shadesofwolves: I'm gonna lean towards completely made up.
The dad took off your clothes and made you leave while filming? You never questioned her age when she never told you?
Just all round weird as fuck.
shaggy_e: Made up or not happy I wasn't charged with pedophilia and arrested
shadesofwolves: Not happy you weren't charged...?
*what*
shaggy_e: They had text messages that showed she never gave me her age and the account she used belonged to someone older than her
shadesofwolves: And you never once said "that's odd, why wouldn't my partner tell me her age on the internet"
shaggy_e: I have multiple times but just brushed it off thinking she'd Tell me eventually
shadesofwolves: And again, *that* didn't flag? How many red flags do you need before you don't drive 7 hours with condoms. This is how you end up on NBC Dateline.
SophisticatedTitan: It's made up cringe. Why are you getting baited into it lol
shadesofwolves: Didn't read my first comment?
SophisticatedTitan: Doesn't matter if you acknowledged it as made up. It actually makes it worse for you because you continue engaging in this pointless convo lol
shadesofwolves: Okay? Thanks for your input, I guess. I think I'll stop engaging in this one lol
SophisticatedTitan: Like I care lol
shadesofwolves: Enough to comment in the first place and then reply? Bit odd.
SophisticatedTitan: I was just wondering why you're diving deeper into what you already concluded is made up. You do you buddy xd
shadesofwolves: Because I want to? Because I'm not being baited if I know? Because I don't owe you an explanation? Take your pick.
SophisticatedTitan: You're wasting time therefore you've been baited. You do you bro
shadesofwolves: Who are you to dictate how my time is spent and if it's wasted or not?
SophisticatedTitan: No one, which is why I already said "you do you" buddy lmao. Why so mad?
shadesofwolves: 🙄

[removed]
Big-Maintenance-109: Bet he didn’t see that coming lol
In all seriousness I think he seems like a nice person. Even if it’s not the situation you were hoping for he could still be a good friend. Also who knows? Things certainly always change
[deleted]: I don’t know. I’m okay with being his friend just really embarrassed. Also I don’t think people change sexualities lol. I don’t believe in trying to change people. That’s weird 😂
Big-Maintenance-109: I think men especially can feel estranged with being comfortable in their sexualities. Also I never thought I’d be bisexual but here i sit. I wouldn’t overthink the embarrassment part, he seems chill af.
Eldryanyyy: It’s weird to hit on an embarrassed blind teenager who isn’t gay.
If he’s estranged, he can come out, but hitting on him when he’s clearly not gay/bi isn’t cool.
Big-Maintenance-109: I don’t think he was clearly not gay/bi , please specify visual traits that typically suggest this? Also OP didn’t know he was blind so one can assume OP was under the impression dude could see him? Agreed hitting on someone that doesn’t reciprocate that isn’t cool.
You know what they say about assumptions
Eldryanyyy: After the blind guy flirted like OP was a girl, OP said he was a guy, and blind guy got super embarrassed. That’s not how gay/bi people would react.
I think OP is in the clear. I’m more responding to the ‘things could change… men are estranged from their sexuality’ comment you made.
Maybe I misread
AngstyUchiha: Okay, but OP stopped flirting when he realized the misunderstanding. He didn't continue/try to change the other guy's sexuality, and since this guy didn't initially clarify his sexuality either, OP really didn't do anything wrong. Also, plenty of people react with embarrassment while still in the closet about their sexuality, and plenty of other people react completely different, because everyone is different. Not every gay/bi person reacts the exact same to things, so a blanket statement of "that's not how gay/bi people would react" is VERY wrong
Eldryanyyy: Do you understand what ‘in the clear’ means? Wtf.
He was flirting and asking questions as if it’s a girl. If he was gay, he wouldn’t be shocked and embarrassed to find it’s a guy.
AngstyUchiha: Do you understand what reading comprehension is? I didn't say anything about that, I addressed your comment about how "gay/bi people react", because, as I said, everyone is different and using a blanket statement about an entire group of people is, quite frankly, pretty rude. And by the way, OP never said the other guy was embarrassed, just that his face flushed. OP himself was the one stated to have been embarrassed. He never said WHY the other guy was flushed, so you can't just assume it was embarrassment. Perhaps you should reread the post CAREFULLY before making another dim witted assumption that everyone reacts like you
Eldryanyyy: ‘But OP stopped flirting when he realized’ - do you not know how to read your own post?
OP didn’t say that guy was embarrassed, but he DID say that guy was straight, and that he flushed. Strange how you trust OP except on this issue.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed eh.
ghost_victim: I'm embarrassed for you
Eldryanyyy: If you’re embarrassed over someone else’s Reddit opinion, you can find therapy online. You’ve probably got issues.
betterversionn: No, he’s not embarrassed by your opinion, but for your lack of critical thinking skills. No offense, my dude.
Eldryanyyy: My critical thinking skills are fine, but even if they weren’t, being ‘embarrassed’ by some else’s critical thinking skill level on Reddit is quite strange, and you may have issues.
betterversionn: Saying “I’m embarrassed for you” is not an indication that someone is actually “embarrassed”. See, this is what you aren’t understanding, it’s an expression that isn’t meant to be taken literally. I’m sorry that this is so tough for you to grasp.
And FYI, my last sentence was also an expression, as I’m not actually sorry.
Eldryanyyy: And you see, I’m not implying that it is real. I’m describing how using an expression that makes it sound like you’re mentally ill is indicative of someone being unintelligent at the least, and more likely very stupid.
Sorry you couldn’t catch that. Short of tools in the shed, I suppose… but, I already knew that.
betterversionn: You are so full of sht. You absolutely were implying that it was real and taking it literally. This is you just backpedaling, as you’ve done done this entire thread. You’re all over the place, and flailing hard.
Eldryanyyy: You’re really this dumb?
betterversionn: Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you l, but 2 posts ago.

TIFU and invited the whole class to a party
Sent out invites to my kids birthday party and based on what he says, most of the kids don't even speak to him or acknowledge his existence most of the time. He wouldn't give me a list of names so I sent one to each kid in his class. 40 invites.
Over half have accepted and we have a bunch of family kids coming too so the guest list is up to 35 plus there's 15 or so to let me know. Not sure how I'm going to entertain that many 5 and 6 year olds all at once but I guess I'll give it a good try!
Party games are a massive no no, most of them don't know how to play properly or how to take not winning (I'm blaming covid for that unfortunately)
Anyone have any idea how many sandwiches etc I might need to feed the masses? Is it the done thing to feed the parents too or am I ok to make a heap of stuff just for the kids? Should I be organising additional stuff? Any advice for me?!
I've got my fingers crossed the fallout will be wholesome and they'll all have an awesome time but I have a feeling I'll be updating in a few weeks to share the sh*tshow instead 😂
TL:DR invited more than 60 kids to a 6th birthday party thinking less than half would come. I got it wrong and heaps are coming
Okepolo: Time to get creative! Id load up on as many cheap snacks as possible. Maybe make tiny sandwiches? Is there a theme you can tie everything together to? As far as games go, water balloon fight? Tons of bubble soap and wands? If you have a backyard, you could set up random small carnival games where "everyone is a winner" and they can get candy for winning at the end? (that way you don't deal with the sugar high)
lanurk: Loving the idea of no sweets til the end! It's not at my house thankfully, it'll be at a local hall so no bubbles or water fights but I might see if I can figure out a way to incorporate some party games without a winner 😂 last party we were at half the kids cried their eyes out when they were out
Okepolo: I’ll keep thinking on games of no winners or everyone is a winner!

1674681278 | 1674758636 | t3_10l9xe2 | t5_2to41 | 333 | thr0waway795: TIFU by letting some kids think Bambi died
So I was talking to my brother this morning and he was in a good mood. He told me he had been hunting and showed me a picture of a really big buck he had killed. Now before I continue I should probably let you know that my family’s love language is insulting each other. There have been instances where people hear our conversations and stand up as if they’re getting ready to break up a fight. So when he shows me the picture my first instinct is to downplay it. I say “you probably just saw that deer on the side of the road and shot it.” He calls me a hater and we laugh and continue our day. About 2 hours ago we went to our cousin’s house and when my brother walked in this is the conversation that happened.
Brother: “Hey (cousin) you gotta see this.”
Me: “oh great”
Cousin: “What is it?”
Me: “He’s just happy he killed Bambi.”
I noticed my cousin’s 2 young kids were in the room but I didn’t think much of it. They know what hunting is and I didn’t think they would hear that and think my brother literally killed Bambi. They started crying. My brother had no idea what to say. My cousin didn’t realize why they were crying and the thought of letting them think my brother killed Bambi was so funny I couldn’t say anything because I was holding in my laugh. Luckily my cousin’s wife was in the room and took charge in the situation. After 30 minutes my brother and I had finished doing what we were there to do and we went back in the house. Now I feel guilty because while they had calmed down they didn’t believe my cousin’s wife that Bambi wasn’t dead. I feel like I killed Bambi. So that’s how my day has been so far.
TLDR: I said a joke and now 2 little kids think Bambi is dead.
ephikles: Photoshop a red nose on Bambi and tell them you mixed things up and actually it was Rudolph, so Bambi is still alive!
gray2on: Holy shit
razldazlbradybazzell: no, it's not. just facts. I can hear the aluminum gates clambering around trying to find open home, as their occupants all stare blankly at nothing.

Obligitory, yesterday. Ive been having a crappy year with my truck. My mechanic kept giving me excuse after excuse why he couldn't finish my truck so I said "f*ck it" I got a buddy that WILL fix it. While following my friend to our buddies house to fix it, we had to go downhill through town. While trying to apply my brakes my foot went through the floor and I wasn't stopping, my Emergeny brake wasn't working and I didn't know how to engine brake, so I was just rolling down hill laying on my horn with my emergency lights on. Trying not to panic I was looking for a tree or something to run into because I wasn't stopping and I was going 20-30mph. By a string of luck a gravel lot appeared on my left and nobody was in the on coming lane so I quickly turned left and drifted my truck into almost a donut and managed to stop. Heart racing I threw it in park, got out, and evaluated I had a leak in my brake line. I still get scared even thinking about how lucky I am that I didn't hit anyone, wreck into anyone, or do any damage to my truck.
TL;DR Drove my truck to my buddies to get fixed and almost wrecked with no brake fluid.
jeffinRTP: This is definitely a fuckup, you could have killed other people or yourself.
caseyfrazanimations: I didn't realize I didn't have brakes until going downhill. I was about 2 minutes into my trip. I got VERY lucky. Im also a UPS driver so my job would have been effected as well.

TIFU by Accidentally insulting a bunch of blind people.
Story time kids. Obligatory this happened about a year and a half ago during my 3 y/o daughter’s first dance recital.
We got there a little late just a minute or two before the first group was supposed to start. Thankfully my in-laws were on time and saved us some seats in the second to last row dead center.
As we scurried to our seats I noticed that the people in the seats behind us were a bit shorter than me and might have a hard time seeing the program. So as I sat down and took my coat off I semi-jokingly offered to duck down if they needed me to so they could see better. They didn’t respond in the least so I just took it that they didn’t really hear me or just weren’t paying attention.
A minute or two later, after I sat down, I hear one of them make the comment “what a fucking asshole” or something of the sort, just barely loud enough for me to hear but I caught it (and ignored it because ya know I’m an adult at a dance recital also I’m not from Florida). A little bit into the performances I noticed they were talking quite a lot, describing the performances and I was starting to get pretty annoyed so I started glancing back a bit and noticed one or two of the people had sunglasses on, then it clicked. They were blind, I had just offered to duck down to an entire row of blind people so they could see better. “What a fucking asshole” was the appropriate response to that, I deserved it.
I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about that.
TL;DR : I unknowingly offered to “duck down” to an entire row of blind people so they could “see better” during my daughter’s dance recital and it didn’t click until later how much of an asshole remark that appeared to be.
CyVas98: I’m blind, and I probably wouldn’t have responded to you that way. I probably would’ve let you know that I couldn’t see it anyway, and just moved on with my life lol.
SethMalcolm1: Blind, yet you can read and type..... hm. sure.
cyclops32: Yes. Another blind person coming in here to say that yes indeed. Reading, writing, dictating, listening. We’re in 2023. If your cars GPS or your phones GPS can talk, why not your phone or computer?
SethMalcolm1: How could you possibly navigate the mouse on a computer, or the touch screen on a phone though?
Fapple_: You need to broaden your world view mate. There exist cutting edge tools and technologies that allow all kinds of people to live independent lives.
I would recommend watching some YouTube videos by The Tommy Edison Experience. Not only does he talk about what daily life is like as a blind person, but he’s very entertaining and it’s some really interesting stuff.
SethMalcolm1: this was 2 days ago. Your late; your suggestions fall on deaf ears.
Fapple_: None of that makes any sense but I hope you figure things out one day.
SethMalcolm1: It definetly makes sense, your just a dumb fuck.
Fapple_: Right. I’m sure once you make it to 8th grade they’ll teach you the difference between “your” and “you’re.”
I’ll let you get back to your coloring books. Take care mate.
SethMalcolm1: I'm past 8th grade. have been for a while.

Hi, so I was at work on my line in a factory. I am a nobody there, just a worker drone like anybody else. Bob, another drone, comes to chat gossip and nonsense to me inbetween doing what he does. He told me he heard a rumor the factory will be closing down for good in july, though he doesn't know how legit that is.
A few hours later on break I always sit with Roger and Ann. Roger is one of those guys that knows everybody and everything in the factory, so I simply ask him "hey, have you heard anything about the factory closing down?" Ann chirps up "Who says this?" I reply, "bob"Roger says he has heard nothing about it.
Near the end of the shift bob is chatting to me like normal when the floor manage sally storms over to him and lays into him about starting harmful rumors about the factory closing and causing "scared women"
Bob is a guy that gets very angry at the drop of a hat, so instantly he's getting pretty agitated at this attack. Sally is like a dog with a bone and goes on and on and on at him for this. (interestingly she talked about the company contracts we signed and explained the company needs to give you 6 months notice of redundancy, and so it cannot be possible she said, but the original rumor was july which is just over 6 months away... and the forracity she came down on Bob with over a nothing burger factory gossip leads me to think there maybe some truth to this, idk... sounds sus to me)
Anyway, I'm just there doing my job thinking to myself "well shit, if Bob has only told me this then he knows I am the one that's caused this. And I've only spoken to Roger about it with Ann listening in..."So I spoke up, "was it ann who said?" to try and shut Sally up and change the subject.
"Yeah" she replied. She stopped attacking Bob and talked to me about it for a while, I didn't give it away that it was me who told Ann until after she walked away I turn to a furious Bob and I said "My bad, I sit with Ann and Roger on break and simply asked Rodger if he knew anything about it, I didn't expect any of this"
Bob replied "Yeah Ann's got it in for me, she hates me for some reason so she's used this to dob me in" and he stormed off to rage at Ann further up the line leading to a huge fight that dragged the whole line into it... The situation just got worse and worse and worse... And I caused the whole thing totally innocently and accidentally.
I feel pretty awful over it all, I certainly never intended everyone to rage on each other, my stress levels and anxiety are skyrocketing and I am dreading going to work again.
I am full of questions. Why did Ann go to the damn boss with this? What did Ann say to prompt the bosses response? and why did the boss go so nuclear at such an insignificant thing? I mean I hear this kind of talk often in locker room people bitching about the place and saying the factory wont last much longer the way it's going etc... it is not a new rumor so why the sudden panic attack over it?And why did Ann embellish the story to the boss, she told Sally things that I never said, just made it up on her own. Such as the factory is closing in 2 weeks time, and the factory is being repainted so they can sell it off. I never said any of those things!
My take away from this situation is: Don't talk to anyone ever again. Just go to work, do my job and come home.
TL;DR
I accidentally passed on a run of the mill rumor about the workplace and ended up with everyone I work with in a shouting match and hating each other.
AcrobaticSource3: Yo, see what other crazy rumors you can start, make work exciting as hell
ThrowawayAccount-Ant: Agreed, go big or go home.

1674702274 | 1674762091 | t3_10lhsnc | t5_2to41 | 14,419 | Bmc00: TIFU by joking with my wife.
This happened a few years ago. My wife is pretty crafty, always making picture montages and stuff like that. One day she made a pretty cool looking shadow box, and inside of it says something like "the best dates in our lives", and has four dates. The dates are our anniversary, and the kids birth dates. I didn't realize it, but here's the FU... I jokingly said "what about April 16, 2003?", I literally just threw out a random date. She asked what that date was, and I just said "think about it, you'll figure it out." A couple days later she asked me again, and my daughter was in the room. I said "you haven't figured it out?!". My daughter quicky caught on that I was just messing with wife, and she agreed that it will come to her why that date is important. A couple of days went by again, and wife has the shadow box on her desk about to take it apart. She was crying because she just couldn't figure out why that date was so important that me and my daughter had known about it. We felt really bad and fessed up that it was just a random date and we were messing with her. So now every April 16th, we have a little celebration for absolutely nothing.
TLDR: Threw out a random date telling wife it was important to our family, she couldn't figure out why and cried a lot.
marcyhidesinphotos: My cousin and her family have a similar day. The story goes that, like 5 years ago, she was completely convinced that she was forgetting some event and was freaking out about it for a whole day. At dinner, her daughter goes, "I remember now, it's Uncle Mike's birthday!" Cousin says, "We don't have an Uncle Mike" and her daughter says, "Omg I can't believe you've completely forgotten Uncle Mike!" At this point, the husband joins in with a tale of Uncle Mike, and they're all rolling. Cousin gets out the ice cream and they have an ice cream party "for Uncle Mike's birthday". A year from then, it's a family tradition where they make up elaborate stories about Uncle Mike's life. These days, there's an ice cream cake involved, as well as drawings of Uncle Mike and his adventures. It's a whole thing.
This is all posted on Facebook every year, and every fucking year one member of our extended family goes, "Who's Mike?"
Every year.
Specialist-Farm-931: It's me, I am Uncle Mike.

1672791677 | 1672794545 | t3_102ofok | t5_2to41 | 23 | NascentNik: TIFU by going grocery shopping with my brother.
Not sure if this is the best sub for this story, but i just needed to throw it out into the void.
I live with my brother and my boyfriend. 90% of the time my brother and I handle grocery shopping because he works from home and I come home for breaks in between seeing clients.
Today we decided to do a big Costco run because my mom sent us her end of the year membership cash back check so we had a few hundred dollars to spend (thank you mom).
We stopped at the tvs on the way in because my bf and I are thinking about buying a new tv for the living room at the end of the month. No big deal. Walker around the corner and see the Cox internet stand and a girl working there. I’m texting on my phone but she catches my brother and asks if we have cox or something else. I look up and we both say “Cox.”
Then she asks what our bill is, and my brother and I kinda look at each other and go “uhhhh….?” So I pipe up and say “honestly, I don’t know what our Cox bill is, we’re not the ones who handle that one”
She looks kinda surprised and goes “oh, who handles the bill then?” so I just say “oh my boyfriend does, but he’s at work right now.”
She looked back and forth between my brother and I and I can tell by the look on her face she has the wrong idea.
She just kinda says oh okay never mind then and averts her attention from us so we continue walking.
My brother looks at me as we turn into the first aisle and goes “you know she totally took that the wrong way.” And then joking says “don’t assume the worst!” as if he’s talking to Cox girl.
I don’t know why this always happens lmao. I get it - my brother and I look completely different. He has green eyes, mine are hazel/brown. He has dark hair and mines pretty light. He’s over 6 feet and I sit at 5’6”. But any time we go to the store or to the dispensary or out together anywhere everyone assumes we are a couple.
Sorry for giving you the wrong impression Cox girl. I’m not cheating on my boyfriend with some guy I go Costco shopping with. I’m just friends/roommates with my brother and we handle the shopping and cooking. 😅
TL;DR went grocery shopping with my brother, got stopped by the girl working at Cox and mentioned my boyfriend, pretty sure she thought I was cheating judging by the look on her face and the fact that she disengaged immediately.
AcrobaticSource3: “Between this guy and my boyfriend, I’m happy with Cox”

1674706697 | 1674865122 | t3_10lj7vu | t5_2to41 | 4,576 | [deleted]: TIFU by telling my best friend she should date me
I (M32) have a close friend (F31) I've known for about half a year. We spend tons of time together, text daily, call each other when we're stressed, will hang out and talk for hours, and often study together and then get food and drinks afterwards. The secret hanging over our friendship has been that I've had a huge crush on her since I met her, before we became friends.
A week ago, she broke up with her boyfriend and I've been comforting her as she processes it. Today, I was studying together and we ended up talking about our respective experiences with heartbreak and how messed up it makes you. She then started talking about how she doesn't want to start dating again but she thinks it's important that she puts herself out there. She told me that a friend of hers suggested she try blind dates. And asked me what I think. My idiot brain could think of no response other than brutal inappropriate honesty and said "I think you should date me instead."
She was clearly shocked by this, and after saying she felt very uncomfortable, told me that she'd rather just be friends. We kept studying together, I was going to leave but she told me to stay. And it one point she asked me to watch her stuff as she goes to the washroom and when she came back she was clearly crying. We parted on apparently friendly terms but I feel terrible and guilty, not for what I said but for when and how I said it.
TLDR; I told my close friend a week after her breakup that I want to date her and caused her to cry.
hopelesscaribou: You stayed in the friend zone under false pretenses, then jumped at your opportunity.
She needed a friend in that moment. You just showed her that you don't see her that way. She knows you want more from her, more than she's willing to give.
Zazulio: Jesus, remind me never to ask for relationship advice here. I don't know how old y'all are, but it feels like a conversation in a highschool cafeteria...
It's okay to be friends with somebody AND be attracted to them as long as you respect them enough not to let your feelings be toxic or destructive. After all, friendship is at the heart of romance. It's also okay to tell your friend you're attracted to them at an appropriate time -- like when they're single and talking to you about wanting to get into dating. It's also okay if your friend isn't interested in you that way and shoots you down. Like, that's a bummer for sure, but it's *okay* because now you're on the same page and can put your romantic interests to rest, look for love elsewhere, and enjoy the good friendship. Nobody did anything wrong here. Not every story needs a villain.
hopelesscaribou: Respect is being a friend and a shoulder to cry on, not being an opportunist who couldn't wait to exploit her newfound freedom. He waited *one week*, and brought it up after her clearly saying she didn't want to date anyone else. He didn't respect her enough, didn't listen to what she was saying, and stopped being a friend when he switched gears. She knows this.
While great relations are based in friendship, you also want friends that aren't interested in you sexually, because unwanted attraction feels awkward at best, and unsafe at worst.
As for my age, 53. I've seen and experienced this more than once.
Zazulio: She said she WAS interested in dating again. She was talking about going on blind dates, and asked his thoughts on it. I honestly can't think of a more appropriate time to ask if she'd be interested in dating him instead and exploring the possibility of a deeper relationship. And who the hell says you can't think your friends are sexy? That's such a limited perspective. Being sexually attracted to somebody doesn't mean you have to be weird, possessive, or jealous about it. I have had many friends over the years who I have thought were sexy, and have experienced romantic rejection from several of them and/or accepted that they just weren't available for some reason or another without it damaging our friendship or causing any real problems beyond a few moments of awkwardness.
Like, I guess it depends mostly on the people involved. The "nice guys" who expect sex in return for emotional investment are obviously toxic and destructive, but a genuine friend who is attracted to you and shoots their shot really shouldn't be a problem at all.
hopelesscaribou: She said *she doesn't want to date right now* but thinks it's important that she put herself out there. OP choose to ignore the first part. One week is too soon for a friend to be hitting on you.
NMEChachi: And you’re ignoring the second part. This is so gross. I’m tired of everyone pretending it’s reasonable and moral for a woman to discuss fucking dating strategy with a man that has an unrequited crush on her. Dudes need to stop giving free emotional support to toxic women until some basic decency can go both ways
hopelesscaribou: See, the part you missed is that *she didn't know he liked her*, she thought she was a friend, not a crush.
We agree on the fact that if you need emotional support, or dating advice, you should seek out *a friend.*
NMEChachi: So, just to be clear — because I’ll grant the premise that somewhere in the world there are probably two or three straight men who become close friends with women they are unwilling to date — her unawareness that he liked her is reasonable and not a fault of hers, while his unawareness that she didn’t like him is unreasonable and a fault of his?
hopelesscaribou: Only one thought the relationship status quo was fine. Only one had ulterior motives.
I'm glad there are at least two or three straight men out there that can be friends with women they are unwilling to date.
NMEChachi: She certainly did think the relationship status quo was fine. In the same way a man thinks the relationship status quo is fine when he continually, knowingly sleeps with a woman who wants a romantic relationship that he has no intention of offering. If you’re fine with both, more power to you 👍
hopelesscaribou: Are you implying that knowingly misleading someone is ok? The woman in this tale did not do that. If you're straight up with someone about not wanting a relationship, 100% ok.
I'm ok with any relationship two consenting adults want, *or do not want.* He changed the dynamics of the relationship, and she has every right to be upset and uncomfortable with it. That's life. He f-ed up, and he knows it.
The reason women hang around gay men sometimes is because they are *non-threatening* to us. It's a shame we can't be affectionate with straight men the same way without them always coming on to us.
NMEChachi: Yeah I’m sure you’re simply shattered that you “can’t” be affectionate with straight men you aren’t attracted to. Big belief on that one.
Maybe men have only other men to blame for women refusing to send clear messages, because some men take rejection shittily. Everyone loves to make that point. Maybe women have only themselves to blame for men misinterpreting simple politeness, because men tend to be treated like shit by everyone who doesn’t want something from them. Less people are eager to make that argument. Men behave in bad ways because men are bad; women behave in bad ways because men are bad. Very convenient for one whose worldview is “men are bad”
hopelesscaribou: I'm not shattered hun, I'm just so over it.
The fact that men take rejection shittily is a part of the *unsafe* aspect, blaming women for men's misinterpretation of intention is victim blaming. Learn to accept rejection and move tf on.

1672791843 | 1672865303 | t3_102ohzv | t5_2to41 | 384 | StandardYTICHSR: TIFU by donating blood
Happened today.
Backstory: I'm a pharmacist. I have a lot of friends that are also pharmacists. In my circle of friends, there are a couple that regularly donate blood. Up until today, I've never donated blood. My friends have often given me shit for not doing it, and I honestly had no real reason to say no aside from being afraid of the needle. A few nights ago, curiosity got the best of me. I spent a few hours online researching the process, reading about it, and felt pretty informed and comfortable with taking the plunge. I booked an appointment for today. Queue the massive clusterfuck.
I arrive for my appointment at a local community church and am confronted with the loudest, angriest elderly woman. I pull up my RapidPass QR code, thinking she will need it at the step in the process. She says "Blood donation card or ID." That's it. No greeting. No "hello, have you donated before?" I hand her my ID. She attempts to scan it. Can't figure it out and then asks me if I have an appointment to which I reply yes. At this point I start to feel incredibly nervous and anxious. With the help of another person, I eventually get checked in.
Next I'm called over to the area where they check your pulse, BP, hemoglobin and review questions. I'm going through the steps but can barely hear the words the person is saying. There's what I can only describe as funeral music playing. Loud. I'm later told that they are required to play music (up to the discretion of the site the blood drive is at) to protect the privacy of individual answering questions. So, there's funeral music playing. And it's so hot in there.
I get through the questions and am taken over to the area where they start the IV line. By now, my anxiety is through the roof. I don't know what is happening. What the process is. Why is there
funeral music playing? Am I going to die? Why is it so hot? I explain to the woman that I'm pretty nervous, it's my first time, etc etc. She was incredibly kind and patient. I explain to the woman that in the past (various procedures), my veins have been hard to find. I've been drinking water non stop all morning. She does her best looking at both arms, and calls another person over. She then looks at my arms, but she's not comfortable starting the line. She calls her supervisor over. This is where I should have just stopped and gone home, but I wanted to power through and do something good.
The supervisor comes over, spends a while looking at my arms and then starts a line in my left arm more on the lateral side and not midline (traditional placement). I notice my hand feels.......weird. I tell the woman. She then says "yeah, it's a small vein. When the needle brushes up against the wall of the vein, the needle pulsates with your heart beat; and it feels like it's vibrating." She then says she can move it. I agree. It keeps happening. Because my vein was small, it was difficult to keep the blood flowing. So, she stood next to me for 45 minutes wiggling an 18 gauge needle around in my arm.
I get hot. Like really hot. The room gets dark. Suddenly, I wake up. There are 3 women standing around me. One is yelling to get a fan. The other is wiping my face, and I vomit. Thankfully they had gotten me a trashcan. By now my arm is throbbing, and it hurts. With all the commotion, I somehow bent my arm causing the needle to puncture the wall of my vein.
I decide I'm done. The women were incredibly kind and patient. They remove the line, and I laid there contemplating life. Eventually I got up, drove home, put on sweat pants and fell asleep. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
TL;DR : Went to donate blood. Incredibly nervous and difficult veins to find. Passed out. Puked and punctured the wall of my vein.
2workigo: Not your fault. You tried.
StandardYTICHSR: Thank you. It was a giant cluster fuck. Everything. Honestly.....Im ok with not going back again.
dougola: I always wanted to give blood to "do the right thing for my community" until I found out the person at the top of the organization was completely unqualified to run it. They were making over $600,000 a year and they want me to give them blood to sell?! Not gonna happen. You tried, good for you.
bros402: You know you don't have to donate blood to the Red Cross, right? There are a **bunch** of organizations that do blood drives. In the NYC area, there's the New York Blood Center.
gwaydms: Our area has a blood bank not affiliated with the Red Cross. I donated blood twice (my husband has given like 15 gallons), then I nearly passed out the next two times, so gave up. Because I have certain medical conditions now, I can't give blood anyway. (Which probably lowered my hemoglobin, and killed a couple of attempted donations, before I knew I was seriously ill.) Oh well, I tried.
bros402: ahh, Leukemia/Lymphoma/Myeloma/some kind of blood cancer?
Cancer High Five!
gwaydms: MM. Fortunately they caught it before it did more damage. The chemo and other drugs bother me a lot more than the cancer does. God willing I'll be around for quite a while yet.
bros402: How old are you and do you want me to send you some support resources?
gwaydms: Lol, I'm early 60s. I have an amazing husband, family, and friends, really good oncologist who's trying to get me into MDA. Thanks for your concern. I'll be fine.
bros402: Make sure to check out the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's week chats for MM. They also have a Friday afternoon chat for general socializing for everyone in the LLS chats. Good luck, and fuck cancer.
gwaydms: Thank you!

1674707805 | 1674791007 | t3_10ljk4k | t5_2to41 | 297 | AsainOboist: TIFU by submitting an unreleased film to a production company
TIFU by submitting an unreleased feature film to a production company
I’m an audio engineer by trade, and I’ve been working freelance for some movies that have yet to be released. Of course, I signed an NDA for these films because I’m getting paid to work on them. I’ve been applying to production companies to get a more steady salary, and one of the ones I’m applying to requires a demo reel.
I was making some new demo reels, and I made one to submit to the company and one for future use, that included clips from a feature, that I was going to use after the movie came out.
I sent them the wrong one.
To make things worse, my supervisor for that particular film actually WORKS at the company I am applying to, and he is almost certainly going to see I just sent out clips from an unreleased movie.
Not only does this look bad, this violates NDA, which means I’m going to be terminated from the project, I won’t be paid, I’ll not get the job at the studio, I’ve burnt bridges with all these connections, I’m going to be blacklisted from ever working in the industry again, and I’ll maybe even get sued.
I’m terrified of the possibilities.
TL:DR I submitted an unreleased movie I’m under contract for to a production company that my supervisor for said movie works at.
can_of_cactus: Have you at least sent a followup asking them to delete that, it was sent in error, and here's the right one?
AsainOboist: Yes, I did tell them I sent them the wrong one and I sent the other version, but I didn’t say why. No response yet
zachtheperson: You should probably be OK then. As you probably know, most companies in industry don't like to leak things they get since it would give them a black eye in the industry, so if you asked them to delete it I'd be surprised if they didn't.
jakkiljr: >so if you asked them to delete it I'd be surprised if they didn't.
Seriously???
zachtheperson: I'll reiterate, people in the industry are professionals, and the industry itself often revolves around NDAs and secrecy. If you are a company who is found out to have leaked information nobody will work with you, and if you're an employee who leaked information nobody will hire you.
If he were to accidentally have sent the reel to IGN or a media outlet? Sure they would have it published everywhere the next day. However, he sent it to a professional company in the industry who he respects enough to want to work for, so the odds they'll leak it is low. Not to mention the clips that were sent probably weren't "Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield are in the next spiderman!" level leaks, but more just like "there's a random cool explosion at some point," so it's not super "jucy," info in the first place, and again, definitely not worth the backlash.
Sort of like Pepsi turning in the guy who offered to leak them Coke's secret recipe. Leaking secret info is just against everyone's best interests in that scenario.

TIFU at Montanas
This Just happened, TIFU by unintentionally Dine and Dashing...
Today was the 40th brothday of my friend "O".
His annual tradition is to attend the "all you can eat, Ribs" at the local Montanas.
Well today after ordering, we waited 2 hours for food. And were offered a paltry free meal for the night. I Refused and left my name and number, was promplty called by the police, and Informed of my coming arrest for theft.
I immediately retracted my bad behaviour to the officer and agreed to come pay tomorrow.
Im still miffed though, MF'rs, promised an all you can eat for my big buddy "O" and we were left hanging and starving all night. LAME!!!
TLDR: I felt 2 hours and 1 plate of "all you can eat, Ribs" was too much of a loss, and decided to check Montanas. I was promptly contactd by local law enforcment...
Sumyungummy: NGL, you're an idiot leaving your name and number. . .
Like... what? Just leave if you're gonna dine and dash. Do I approve? Hell the fuck no, but come on. What are you doing?
Builder_Ornery: It was not my intention to Dine and Dash, I was mostly interested in telling management how dissapointed I was with my evening. Thinking they would call me tomorrow and deal with it then.
To add to this, the 20YO girl who was "manager" was so sadly ill prepared for such an occurance and I beleive that was the real issue. And I 100% blame her superiors.
thatnameistoolong: …you blame her superiors for what? For you committing a crime?
Builder_Ornery: Lots of people refuse payment for poor service. I get it, thats the law, I must abide.
Still does not change my view. IM NOT HAPPY TO HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. I feel im being ripped off for having to pay
thatnameistoolong: Well. I mean. Then the thing to do would have been to leave BEFORE you actually ate the food. If you’re pissed about having to wait two hours, then leave after an hour and a half. At that point you didn’t eat any food, you have nothing to pay for. Once you eat the food, you’ve accepted the GOODS, so you pay for it. “Refusing payment for poor service” would mean something like cutting out the servers tip, which actually IS pretty common. You’re talking about refusing payment for GOODS you accepted, which is just literally stealing.

Myzx: The phrase “Attempted murder” springs to mind. I care about you buddy, maybe she is not the right one. I don’t care how innocent she is, never dine where poison is kept with the food, even if it was a prank. Will there be another prank?
saltyredditor1234: Thank you for your concern. While it was a dangerous prank, I don't believe the ex intended to harm me. We have spoken with him and he has assured us it was a poorly thought out joke. I trust my girlfriend and we will be more cautious in the future to prevent something like this from happening again.

1672797593 | 1672842130 | t3_102qp0q | t5_2to41 | 16 | 888Gorilla: TIFU by trying to improve my life
I made a decision roughly 4 weeks ago to move across the country with the hopes of fully discovering myself and to secure a future for myself. I felt like I was stuck in the life I was living and truly didn't understand what my purpose was. I used drugs/alcohol basically all my life to deal with my trauma & mental health issues, after getting sober and changing thinking patterns, behavior etc I realized that I had no idea who I was. When you are "someone" for so long, it's very difficult to adjust and maintain a new lifestyle when you have no idea what the fuck you're doing. (Still sober though!)
Anyways, I thought I secured a job/accommodation at a nice resort where I was going to work full time and save up to travel the world. Well that fell apart on the plane ride over here, I lost one of my bags at the airport and my phone screen broke the first day... Great way to start a new future! Since then I've been up against the odds and used the little money I had in temporary housing and even had to borrow some to make sure I had a roof over my head. I applied to over 150 jobs since I've been here, but between the holidays/storms it's been rather impossible to find employment. The well has since run dry and I'm going to be homeless tomorrow, I know obviously nobody in the city I'm in and burnt all my bridges throughout the years of active addiction. I feel so defeated... I had such high hopes for my life and it was all taken away from me, I poured everything I had to make this happen and I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I have no idea what I'm going to do and my motivation is basically non-existent now. All I wanted was to be happy, but the universe has different plans.
TL;DR thought I was making the right choice to better my future and ended up with less than what I started with and more problems in my mind.
AcrobaticSource3: What exactly happened with the job/accommodation?
888Gorilla: Apparently they didn't have a room left for me in the staff housing

Some context: Recently, I found out my girlfriend has been reading smut after scrolling through her Instagram reels while laying in bed together. No big deal, and she's been a good sport when I teased her about it.
Fast forward to a few minutes ago. We had been texting and the topic was brought up. I jokingly said for our next date night we should find the worst smut we could find and make each other read it out loud. She took me seriously.
So now I must dive into the world of cringey smut and see what horrors await me. Wish me luck, and RIP to my search history.
Also, if anybody has recommendations for our little smut showdown, I am looking for something funny rather than disturbing.
TL;DR
Jokingly challenged my girlfriend to find the cringiest smut and read it out loud to each other, now I have to follow through

So this didn’t happen recently. FYI…I am on mobile.
Back in July, I was able to secure some NFL training camp tickets for the first dad that was opened to the public. While I waited, I overheard a young boy talking to his dad behind me. I turned as saw the boy didn’t seem to be older than 10. He was there with his mom and his dad and both were dressed up in powered blue jersey tops. The boy seemed to be really excited going to the training camp and even mentioned how he wishes this team goes to the playoffs. This is the interaction that followed:
Dad: Well, hopefully this year we go not just to the playoffs but to the Super Bowl! It was frustrating to see the other team there instead of us.
Me: you went to the Super Bowl?
Dad: Hell yeah! I got into the season ticket holders lottery and scored the chance to buy two tickets, it was nose bleed though.
Me: Damn! How much did that run you?
Dad: $4,800
(This is where the FU begins…and I should’ve kept my mouth shut).
Me: God damn! For one game!?
Dad: yeah but its a once in a lifetime. Its all about the experience and memories.
Me: That’s about how much I spent on two balcony rooms on my three night Disney Cruise to the Bahamas two months ago and those memories and experience I will never forget. Neither will my kids nor wife.
The mom and son looked at me intrigued. The dad went from excited to now looking worried.
Kid: what’s a Disney cruise?
Dad: Don’t talk to adults (son’s name).
Mom (looking annoyed): what’s a Disney Cruise and where did you go?
Me: its a cruise ship that is owned and operated by Disney. Everything on board is completely Disney related. From the food and to the entertainment . My wife and kids had a blast on board (showing the mom our ship boarding video) and honestly…so did I. Me…a grown man, was really excited when I met a bunch of Disney characters on board (showed the son a picture of me and Pluto and Princess Jasmine). We flew into Orlando and the cruise took us to the Bahamas and then to Disney’s private island too (showing a picture of me and Jack Sparrow).
Dad (looking annoyed): Well…that’s in FL and we’re here in CA so…yeah we can’t do that.
Me: oh they sail out of San Diego too. Especially in October. Almost every few days too. (Mom starts surfing her phone)
Kid: Dad can we go on a Disney cruise? It sounds like fun.
Dad: we would, but that’s during baseball playoff time and then we need to get ready for football playoffs. Don’t you want to go to the playoffs in person son?
Mom: we could miss one playoff season. (Still surfing her phone).
Dad: NO WE CAN’T! (Even some people turned around to look at him). We need to be there for baseball playoffs and for football playoffs. Those are treasured memories you have to be there to experience and you can’t get the same feeling from watching it on TV.
Me: oh dude! On a Disney Cruise…
Dad: Thats enough…Thanks but not gonna happen.
Mom (raising her phone): Oh hey, I found a Disney cruise from San Diego towards the end of October. We are doing it instead of the playoffs. Oh and theres another during the Super Bowl weekend too thats cheaper!
At this point the kid started jumping up and down in joy and the dad just gave me a cold hard death stare. I turn and saw the line moving and quickly cut people to get away.
TL;DR: a dad talked about how much he spent on Super Bowl Tickets, I shared how I spent the same on a Disney Cruise. Got his wife and son interested, he tried to shut me up but then his wife found a cruise date on the end of October and during Super Bowl weekend…ruining the dad’s plans to attend baseball playoffs and the Super Bowl.
lobo_locos: Ha ha ha, nice try Disney Cruise Rep.....your not going trick me with these shenanigans...😃
FeelingFloor2083: $4800 for 3 days for a cruise is pretty expensive for a cruise, disney tax is steep
proudgryffinclaw: That! I paid less than that for a 7 night cruise to the Caribbean on RCCL out of Miami
ayyygeeed: Right I paid literally half of this for a 7 night western Caribbean out of Galveston!
proudgryffinclaw: Yep Galveston is known to be a cruddy port.
ayyygeeed: Genuine question bc this was the first cruise I had taken since I was a kid…why does it matter if the port is cruddy? Once you get on a ship why does the port matter? Lol I lived in Houston at the time so it was an easy access port and the ship had the exact same food, staff, beverages, amenities, shows, and activities as it does when it’s out of any other port?
proudgryffinclaw: Like how long did it take you to get on the ship?
ayyygeeed: We had the earliest check in time (10:30 I believe) and when we got there there was a pretty long line. I think the process from getting in line to getting on the ship was like an hour? I have a pick of us walking up the gangway onto the ship at 11:23. Idk if that is long or short compared to other ports though 🤷🏼♀️
proudgryffinclaw: I was on with 15 minutes of arriving at miami

Yes I'm a stay at home student cuz fuck them accomodation prices.
So basically, I'm sat there with my noise-cancelling earphones playing Dragon Ball OSTs minding my business whilst barely scraping by on my assignment due in 6 days time. I put my tv on, forgetting the last time I used it I was watching babestation (a late-night TV cam show in the UK). Well, my mum heard me tapping away at my annoyingly loud keyboard and came to see what I was doing up at 4am. I was too oblivious to realise what was on my screen, but my mum could see clearly. I quickly turned off the TV, then I just awkwardly looked back at my mum. Tbh I'd say I'm more embarassed about it than worried. I'm also surprised this is the first time in like 5+ years that I've ever been caught with stuff like that on.
I swear my brain went through almost every concievable excuse as to why it was on my TV in 0.5 seconds, but nothing wouldv'e been able to get me out of that. All I said was "Wha-" and nothing else.

66RebelScum66: nah she 60, porn didn't really exist when she grew up
A_D_Dinosaur: You are very wrong my friend. Porn was very much a thing in the 70s and 80s when she was a teen and young adult.
Source: I was there too.

zsebibaba: Am I the only one who does not understand dick pics ? there are women who willingly receive such?
in any case I am sorry.
-Duste-: I don't understand either what's appealing in dick pics, especially from random dudes.
Who would receive a dick pick from a stranger and be "Oh my, such a fine looking dick, I need to fuck it right now."
metler88: People who are already horny.
I mean there are subreddits where people post dick pics and strangers post favorable comments like your example. They actively seek them out.
-Duste-: If they seek them out, good for them. I'm talking about receiving a random dick pic that you didn't ask for. 😬
metler88: It's conceivable to me that a person in a state where they are seeking out random dick picks might also appreciate receiving them from people.
Not condoning the act of sending them to randoms of course, but with 8 billion on earth it's pretty likely that there are people that appreciate looking at a nice dick regardless of who it's attached to or where it comes from. Not even relatively strange. There are far weirder things that people are into and you will understand them even less
-Duste-: Oh I know there's pretty weird shit out there haha. My opinion is shared by many others though. An unwanted dick pic is almost never well received. The reaction might be more "gross" than "wow".
I'm not saying everyone is like that. I know a few who like to have a surprise dick pic lol

1672775105 | 1672848720 | t3_102hdla | t5_2to41 | 19 | BluButterfly95: TIFU by rescuing a dog from the canal and mistaking the word "no" for "go". Chaos ensues.
Obligatory this was last night.
We have my family visiting here from halfway across the country and I made large quantities of sushi for dinner for my Dad's birthday as a treat.
Just as I'm about to start serving up for myself I hear shouting and splashing. I look over to the canal to see a white dog trying to swim along the opposite edge. There is a man yelling to my left so I yell back that we have eyes on the dog and proceed to grab a canoe with my husband and frantically follow our friend who had already paddled out towards him to try and get this dog back to his owners.
We head towards our friend who is pretty close to the dog. The dog sees a duck and suddenly decides it needs to chase it but given that this dog is surprisingly bad at swimming for a dog and has splashed his way a hundred metres down the canal, the chase ends rapidly. We reach the dog and try get him into the boat but he is at least 30kg and panicking. We half drown him before I say I'm going to jump in (it's pretty shallow water and he isn't trying to bite or otherwise hurt us) my husband shouts no (I hear go) and I jump in. As I land in the water I see the boat rolling over and then my husband surfaces spluttering. (I find out from him later that he shouted no, not go as I'd thought, oops..)
Our friend follows me into the water to try wrangle this frantic dog and I try get the dog onto land but two resident dogs race towards us barking so I hightail it out of there, dog in tow by his collar.
I manage to swim across the canal with this dog to where a neighbour is offering to help us pull him out of the water. My husband follows, now wading through the water with a half sunk canoe in tow.
The neighbour pulls him out and he jumps straight back into the water, losing his metal choke chain in the process (who on earth puts those on their dogs anyway?!). Our friend tries to help but we can't get this dog onto land.
By this point another neighbour has reached us on a bigger boat with an electric motor and we manage to haul 30 odd kgs of soaking wet, struggling dog onto the boat and tie him with the rope onboard. We then head back down to locate his owner.
We find his owner with a lit cigarette in his mouth, seemingly totally unconcerned about his dogs well-being. Apparently the dog "has no idea how to swim" and "this is the third time he has done this". He somehow manages to keep said cigarette lit while we haul the dog out of the boat and he and the gathered family members wander off.
We get back home to our bemused family to find scratches all over my legs (apparently I found the only broken reeds in the canal and destroyed my legs on them) and the dog in his state of panic managed to not only scratch my legs but also bruise them.
My husband (who is a type one diabetic with a CGM) discovers that his Bluetooth sensor which reads his cgm has shorted - thanks to the salty canal water.
Thankfully it started working sometime in the middle of the night but he is walking around with a ziplock bag filled with silica gel and the Bluetooth sensor tapped to his arm.
At this point everyone wants to go home because it's pretty late so I feel like I've ruined my dad's birthday dinner but at least we provided some live entertainment!
TLDR: rescued a dog from the canal, capsized our canoe, dunked my husband and shorted his expensive medical equipment, scratched my legs up and returned said dog to an ungrateful owner, slightly ruining (but mostly providing amusement for) my dad's birthday dinner.
EducationalVisual295: I have a similar story only it was my dog. It was my dads 50th and he decided to rent a canal boat, we took our malamute/husky with us and all was fine for a while. It was me my dad and my then partner who was partially sighted. So we get to a lock I’m opening it while my then partner helped and my dads steering the boat this was at big lock so a double width lock. All of a sudden the cabins doors burst open as they didn’t lock well anyway. My daft bear decided he wanted to try and big to the side after me thinking how much fun it would be to plan his great escape. His front paws made it but his back did not and look of he f’ed up as he slid into the canal would have been comical if I hadn’t have been so panicked for him getting hit by the cancel boat. Fortunately my dad kept it away from him however I was shouting he’d gone in and remember that partially sighted partner? Well I’m his panick he also fell in and he didn’t see the side of the canal so I I jumped in after them some passers by helped me lift my boy up and I directed my then partner to the ladders. Before then though my dad had the great idea to try and through the hard plastic life ring at him and clonk my then partner in the snoz with it. This was on my dads 50th and he where booked at a pub along the cancel right outside of this canal lock. Anyway we missed the booking we where soaking wet and then as we were all cleaning up inside I hear a splash and a bl**ks from my dad turned out he dropped his brand new phone into the depths below. So it was certainly a 50th to remember and I’m pretty sure we had the town laughing at us and wouldn’t be surprised if it got in the local papers.
EDIT: forgot to mention my dads birthday is the 21st December so it was abit chilly.
BluButterfly95: Oh no! What a mess! Would be very entertaining to see if it did make it onto the local papers. At least no one was badly hurt though
EducationalVisual295: I’ll have to go back and have a look we all had a laugh about it afterwards cause when it’s a trip with my dad it’s usually ending is chaos. I thunk we were very fortunate it happened at a double width lock otherwise it could have gone horribly wrong.

1672814337 | 1672815987 | t3_102wd85 | t5_2to41 | 142 | ShibeWithUshanka: TIFU by conditioning myself on accident.
Obviously I did not do it in one day, but since this now a regular occurance, I might aswell post it here. Apologies for any mistakes I might make, as English is not my first language and I am typing this on my phone.
I‘ve been smoking for about 3 years now, and for some reason me having a cigarette and the urge to urinate have often coincided. Thus, I recently started to notice that whenever I have a cigarette, I also have the urge to pee. The only part that you could consider an actual fuck-up is the fact that on some rare occasions, I do not make it to the toilet in time, even though the urge usually subsided after I am done smoking. I thought that you guys might find this story funny and/or peculiar.
I also noticed it only happens when I smoke at home, which makes it even weirder.
TL;DR: Everytime I smoke I have to pee, occasionally that leads to me pissing myself.
MayorOfSmurftown: Nicotine actually irritates your bladder. There's a physical basis for your condition, it isn't just psychological.
ShibeWithUshanka: Ooh, didn‘t know that. I just assumed so because I have never heard anyone else have that issue, only that nicotine promotes bowel movements.
But yeah, my bladder is weak anyway so it‘s possible that irritation is enough to trigger the urge.
NungaFakeer: And the carbon monoxide from general smoking binds to your hemoglobin with 200x more affinity than oxygen, which results in slight hypoxia (brain), which in turn reduces parasympathetic activity causing a relaxation of the detrusor muscle(muscle that holds the pee back in your bladder [and your anal sphincter]) making peeing easier.
Please sir, we need more folk like you to last longer, and even though i understand your time on this planet is your right, i would urge alternatives to smoking if not outright cessation.
ShibeWithUshanka: Folks like me? You definitely would not want more of them I should deadass be locked up

English is not my first language so bear with me, we're both under 18 don't know if that matters.Fake name obviously, don't know why f*rting was censored lol.
Today,I(F) was on a call my with my friend Jake(M) playing a game and it was the usual,we were cracking jokes and roasting each other.After like 2 hours we ran out of stuff to talk about and just played the game silently while still on call.But then out of nowhere I f*rted... It just came out of nowhere,it was not super loud but loud enough for him to hear.He didn't say anything and i coughed awkwardly and after a few minutes,he hang up.I don't know if my f*rt was the cause.I don't know if I can recover from this and i know it doesn't seem like a big deal but God I'm so embarassed.It wouldn't be that awkward if we were really close but we aren't and this is maybe the third time we called since we've known each other.Plus I might have a little crush on him and that's why it's even more embarrassing.
Tl:Dr:I was on a call with a friend i kinda like and I f*rted accidentally and I'm sure he heard it ,he hang up after that.
Edit: I texted him (about a different thing) and he doesn't seem to know so all's well lol.Thanks everyone for the advice.

1672818907 | 1672832736 | t3_102xom4 | t5_2to41 | 40 | Throwaway9183829183: TIFU by having too good of a phone call with a best friend
I basically screwed my self out of what could have been a really wonderful situation and have not much control over it now
See if started when a good friend(f) and I(m) scheduled to hang after a good while of not seeing each other, she goes to college in a town away from me. We have known each-other upwards of 8 years which to both is our longest lasting friend. It was going really well and normal until the topic of relationships came up out of normal conversation and we both shared our frustrations we’ve had with people and situations in the past.
That’s when she looked at me. AND oh boy it was a look so deep and real I hadn’t felt that way in years. Never had I thought much about it as we always solidified we were friends and had a special kind of dynamic… well we sat there for a few moments and then I asked about it and so we started driving, we drove and talked on and off about dating and the thought of dating sort of always there just knocking quietly on the back door not to be let in.
(This is where I want to give some context: This friend of mine has always in my opinion the light in the room, the person who people just listen to, respect, or have no reason to dislike, I have always seen them in a sort of life I can’t compare, and this is without/before acknowledging romantic feelings… this and I strongly believe they are one of the most attractive people I’ve met/known again before acknowledging romantic feelings)
We spent 7 hours driving and talking like it was young high school all over again. Around 1 am I went home and she did too and we didn’t speak for another couple days. 2 days later We messaged eachother and she asked if I wanted to talk about that night so of course I said yes so we started texting back and forth and it developed into 2 hours of sitting on the thread just responding back and forth.. again I don’t remember the last time I was this engaged with a person and likewise for her. Well after 2 hours we decided to call.
4 Hours into this call and it was great, we had said out loud to eachother we were crushing and it felt again like some butterflies/feelings I haven’t felt in so long. (HERES THE KICKER… She’s got a boyfriend…that she’s sorta uncertain about and has said she knows it won’t work out with him) We also began talking about what the sex would be like…This is where the fuck up happened — it developed into a horny question game and one thing led to another, she was doing her thing and I was doing mine, multiple times I asked if she wanted to stop and she said no and when it was over it was an awkward silence and she was definitely feeling indifferent… She told me she wasn’t upset and that she really enjoyed it but again she has a boyfriend but she wasn’t sure she regretted it and straight up told me “don’t worry your not gonna lose a friend over phone sex”…
It has now been Day 3 of clear understandable avoidance and I’m pretty sure I fucked it up…
TL;DR - I had a good thing going with a girl/best friend I realized I liked a lot and definitely moved things along too quickly and probably lost her
Update: Yea I fucked it up.
hidden-in-plainsight: "Hey, so how about that phonecall eh? Geez. Talk about tension. Sorry if I pushed a boundary. I've.just had feelings for you and we were vibing pretty hard and they slipped out. Again sorry if I was inappropriate, your friendship means a lot to me."
Now tell me how hard is that?
Throwaway9183829183: All of this was said at the end of the call almost verbatim and was reciprocated, didn’t add that but yes
hidden-in-plainsight: Just cause a girl says, "yo homie, we all good," doesn't necessarily make it so.
You'll learn.
Throwaway9183829183: I appreciate the response but from my experience people who say “you’ll learn” have a very close minded view on things and I do know that this a person who has no problem sending a message saying “hey it isn’t gonna work” but yes what you said could be a very real possibility
AE: just trying to stay mostly positive here too
hidden-in-plainsight: Close minded? No. Not at all. I've just been around the block a few times. Been in this exact position. Does that mean the outcome will be the exact same for you that it was for me?
Hell no.
Should you err on the side of caution? Yes.
Remember she said she had a bf. She needs to decide what to do about that, and then you need to respect her decision.
Whats gonna happen if the bf finds out you guys were fooling around on the phone? Cmon now...
So yes, my statement stands. You'll learn. Very broad statement that encompasses this entire situation you're in from start to finish.
Not close minded at all.
Throwaway9183829183: Fair point, I was mistaken, I see your side of things but again want to at least hope for the best here, but am prepared for the worst
OMGoblin: If she cheats with you, she will cheat on you.
​
I mean she's not even leaving you for him, big red flag.
​
You're a certified fucc boi at this point, have some respect for yourself and resolve this situation haha.

1672819141 | 1672821467 | t3_102xqvw | t5_2to41 | 15 | ponyboy_vaughn_stump: TIFU by ordering weapons online under a serial killer's name
Throwaway here. About a week ago I placed an order on Ebay. I'd never used this site before so I had to make a new account, in a hurry I pulled a profile name out of my ass just so I could get my order done. I chose the name Johnnycake Wayne Gacy. The first part being Johnny Cade's nickname if anyone cares. I placed the order and didn't think twice about the username. Amazon let me put an obviously fake name on my account but still labels all my packages with my legal name since that's what's on my card. I was dumb enough to think Ebay would be the same. So, I place my order and one gets shipped almost right away.
I decided one day to track my package when I got a notif saying it was coming early. I scrolled down and saw the shipping address fucking says "Wayne-Gacy" right with my address and everything. My dumbass forgot to check the name listed on the label and both packages were already in transit by the time I realized.
Oh yeah, what I ordered from Ebay? Two folding knives. How would multiple mail carriers feel making several shipments of weapons addressed to someone using the name of a literal murderer? And shipping them to an address that's never before had a delivery with this name? Because I've been mulling over this nonstop now. I've tried doing research on USPS's policy on pseudonyms but so far I've got nothing. And I think in my own case I've done something to raise a lot more suspicion than just putting "Hugh G. Rection" or something on my address.
~~Johnny Cade also uses a switchblade as his murder weapon. I'm not worried at all about someone making that connection too but I just find that pretty solid irony. Especially since he was also fucking paranoid over potential police trouble from said blade.~~
Today was my first fuck up. I saw the mail truck pull up and was just about to throw my shoes on to run and get the mail before anyone else did. I didn't even make it out of the house. My grandfather came right in holding the Wayne Gacy package. He was so pissed. He actually lived in Chicago right when Pogo made all the headlines, so you can just imagine how bad I fucked up with that one name. Thankfully he didn't open the package or see the seller name. I took it and promised him I'd change the shipping address name asap and ran back up to my room, he seemed calm after I told him I wouldn't use that fake name anymore.
My second fuckup is imminent. It's all far from over. There's a second package en route to my house with the same label. I don't know exactly when it's coming, so now I'm obsessively checking the tracking number and looking out the window all the time to see when the USPS truck comes. I just know he'll be double pissed when he finds a second one after I told him I'd stop using that name. I thought I could hurry and get the mail myself the first time, now I have no clue how fast I'll be the second time. I went ahead and changed my Ebay name and address so at least I can tell him that I took his advice and there won't be any more packages with that name.
And then there's the trouble of what's in the package. My family hasn't found out I've been buying knives, not yet, anyways. Angry parents aside, I'm paranoid over how the mail carriers will go about shipping not one, but two weapons to a "Wayne Gacy." They'll either know it was an obvious dumb joke name or they'll actually think it's another aspiring Pogo and then I'll be in even deeper shit, possibly legally. I keep wondering if they could have grounds to make a search warrant for my address or something, either because they think they're delivering to a future killer or I've committed some sort of fraud by using a fake name. Anyways that's how my fuckup decided to come bite me in the ass today and it's coming back again soon.
TL;DR: I ordered two knives online and forgot to change the name from "Wayne Gacy," now my family thinks I'm a cunt and I'm paranoid USPS might come after me too.

1674732619 | 1674868531 | t3_10lpqe1 | t5_2to41 | 110 | Unpleasant_1: TIFU by asking my friend to take their socks off which led to the end of our friendship and A messed up digestive system .
Throwaway here.
This begins when I (17M) hung out at their (18) house to give an arts and crafts gift I made for them and also for the purpose of hanging out. Nothing wrong there.
The fuckup began when I noticed their incredibly soft carpet and complemented it which led me to realise that they had socks on which prompted the question, "why do you have socks on?". Nothing wrong yet.
"I just typically wear socks around the house"
This prompted my question ," Why don't you take your socks off so that you could enjoy your carpet"
"I don't know"
The second time I asked them to take their socks off, they replied with "I'm not taking my socks off"
I wrongly intepreted it as them saying in a playful manner and that the socks were just part of the banter
This was the fuckup.
Due to my style of joking about I tend to prefer long running jokes so throughout this hangout whenever the thought comes up in my mind I ask about the socks such as when comparing shoes or using the pedal when playing the piano, wearing flip-flops and when going up a ladder.
Fast forward a few weeks.
During my holiday I lost my phone (this will come in handy later) so when using my sibling's laptop to browse social media I noticed something up with their account as it seems deleted, so I went to another platform to reach out to them.
This is when they revealed that they blocked me because they thought I was creepy and that they didn't want me in their life anymore.
I was a mess. Not just because I lost 1 of the few friends I had , not just because I also got my results back from school and was sorely disappointed, not just because of the shame that this was the second time i lost a friend due to my own stupidity and the fact that I thought that I had grown since then.
It was all of them at once on the same day. The fact that *I done it again* only cemented the pain further.
After smashing my head into the poor Airbnb floor tiles and playing trampoline on the balcony railing thinking of the sweet embrace. I started to feel horrible, *on a physical level.*
I had no Idea that Emotional Damage (funny i know ) was like Actually real and could manifest on a physical level.
I got intense stomach pain that I've never had before.
I also started feeling lightheaded when wearing my mask (I can't believe I'm saying this) outside due to the stuffy that I'm breathing back in.
I searched up some yoga poses to ease the pain which helped a lot. Unfortunately since I'm on a holiday to meet my relatives again, I end up visiting a lot of peoples houses which involves a lot of sitting, both in the car ride and on the chair on the dining table to catch up on stuff and there's only so many times you can comfortably get into a yoga pose to ease pain which involves a lot of legs and the logistics to not rip my own pants. Add this onto the fact that I'm constantly trying not to cry and shit myself, and you've got yourself a shit time.
Some point I got logged onto my dad's phone to talk to them and they said that " The unconsentual questions were creepy and that the fact that they said that their not taking their socks off once should've been enough to stop"
Backstory: I used to post feet pics ironically as a joke and people started to think that I had a foot fetish which probably added to the creepiness
I was incredibly hurt and confused.
Also did you realise I made my second fuckup? I learnt this the hard way, that there is no way to get your account off a device on that platform without wiping out all the data in settings. In my panic to not let my dad find out if he uses his phone and gets to that app, I deleted the chat to not see it anymore, which means that they probably did not see my apology.
I was in pain for the 5 days and the fact that I'm not enjoying my holiday that my parents worked their ass off to plan only made me feel guiltier than I alreadly was.
Its been a couple of days since I recovered physically and I have no idea what to do. I also realised that last year I convinced them so take this niche subject I'm taking, A subject so small that it doesn't even have its own classroom. Instead its one small table group in a class room and their the only one taking it other than me. So when school starts I will be sitting in one small table group with them in one subject.
Crap
TL;DR: asked my friend to take their socks off, they found it creepy and blocked me which resulted in a lot of emotional pain and manifested as an upset stomach. and i'll be alone in a subject with them which added to the awkwardness
​
​
Edit: Thanks for all the advice you guys gave me and the shade that i rightfully deserve. Am currently focusing on recovering and learning from this to be better in the future
[deleted]: That was a lot of words to say that you still can't own and accept responsibility for your own *obviously* creepy behavior
slimzimm: What could he have said that would satisfy you enough to believe he owned and accepted responsibility for his behavior? I’m genuinely curious, because I felt like he was owning up to being a weirdo.
mcnathan80: This is a pretty common tactic for emotionally immature people. Basically they super overvillianize themselves for the very obvious bad thing they did in hopes they look like the victim and will be comforted
“Look at me on this cross! Have I not suffered enough?!”
Unpleasant_1: Any tips for not falling in a overvillianing spiral ? I want to break out of this habit.
mcnathan80: It's tough ngl
I was raised by narcissist substance abusers and developed A LOT of bad habits/survival strategies, but this was the most pernicious. Not saying you or are parents are narcissists, but my apple didn't fall far from that tree...
I would strongly recommend finding a DBT therapist to help you work out your inner dialog
In the short term, start doing things that make you respect yourself (i.e. dont tell anyone, or expect praise). You can't care about anyone more than yourself. Literally. Anything more is codependent. Your own self esteem IS the bar
I'm pulling for you, you've got a long, tough slog but you're young and asking the right questions. At least the questions I wish I had asked when I was 17 lol

My dad (48) and my brother (18) both smoke weed, I don’t, and I don’t really mind it, and sometimes even happy when they do since then they are so much more nice, but the part where my dad thinks I am a stoner.
I am insecure about how I smell and look, so when my dad went to a different country to assist my grandfather I asked him to buy me strong perfume, I never have asked for some perfume, and that’s one reason he believes I am a stoner, the second reason is that I buy a lot of mints, specifically smint 2 hours one and the 2 hour one is really strong, the third is because I have started to go out with my friends to hang out, I haven’t done that in years, and my friends are anti-drugs type of friends, the fourth reason is because weed was found on the school grounds and a message was sent to every parent that weed had been found on the school grounds.
And now my dad constantly talks to me about weed and I should not smoke it, and when I go to hang out with friends he asks if I am really going to their house, he even talked about getting me tested, but I don’t find this strange, weird, and annoying, I think this is funny, I don’t smoke weed.
TL:DR my dad thinks I smoke weed because I do stuff that stoners would do.
Malevolent_Mangoes: If your brother and dad both smoke then why is he over here overreacting and talking about you getting tested? Seems like bizarre behavior.
1HATEMYS3LF: I bet he is just scared I will get addicted lol, and my brother isn’t related to my dad, only my mom, so he really doesn’t give a crap about what he is doing now.
Malevolent_Mangoes: Weed is not addictive.
1HATEMYS3LF: I found this [article](https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive) that says otherwise.
Malevolent_Mangoes: That’s the habit of smoking it, not the substance itself.
1HATEMYS3LF: I cant really argue since there will never be an outcome, he just doesn't want me hooked on drugs, or something like that.
Malevolent_Mangoes: Tell him he’s the bad influence here because he’s the one doing drugs and is the parent. He’s supposed to be a role model.

My boyfriend and I like to spice things up in bed and we decided to do a role play of doctor and patient. A little background, l'm Asian and wanted to different Asian name as a doctor. I started out by introducing myself but I couldn't think of anything so I quickly came up with a name that ended up being his bosses name for which he hated when he worked with him. It was fine until I laughed and realized what I said and made it super awkward. I went down on him anyways and instead of getting more hard I felt everything go soft in my mouth... he grabbed me and said that he couldn't do it anymore because he could only think about his old boss. His boss is short and the whole time I was trying to pleasure him, his intrusive thoughts could only think about how if his old boss went down on him.. he wouldn't have to kneel because of how short he is... I tried to explain my reasoning on choosing the name I did not realizing it until after the fact but he couldn't get it out of his mind. We called it day after that and I think my boyfriend doesn't ever wanna role play with me anymore…
TL;DR
While role playing with my boyfriend, I used his bosses name and things did not go well…

1672826599 | 1672929106 | t3_102zrkt | t5_2to41 | 10,635 | jskoker: TIFU by exposing a girl I went to school with’s broken marriage and probably ruining her Christmas
This started back during thanksgiving. I am single and live out of town. Every time I come home I open up the ol’ dating app to see who is around.
As I’m doing my usual swiping a familiar face shows up, a girl I went to school with. Now this isn’t just any girl, she is the daughter of a high up administrator. Her and her brother are well known in the community.
Now I’m from a small town. Everyone knows each other and gossip spreads quickly. I ask my mom, who also works at the school, “Hey. Did X get divorced?” and sent her screenshots of the girl’s profile. My mom said she hadn’t heard and would ask around.
Fast forward to Christmas and I’m back in town. I hadn’t heard anything and ask my mom again if she had. Well, apparently the rumor had spread around while I was away and eventually reached the girl’s mother and eventually the girl.
The guy she had married cheated on her and left her with the baby for a stripper. She really didn’t want it to be public knowledge and if it was to be, she wanted to wait until the holidays were over.
Her and her divorce ended up being the big scoop everyone was talking about for the holidays. She didn’t even go to the neighborhood holiday party with her family.
TL;DR: Found a well known school admin’s daughter on a dating site, exposed her divorce, and made her the talk of the town
I_Need_Leaded_GAS: Who said you were the only one to find her on the app? It could have been anyone in town. Now maybe if your mom is the gossip center of the town maybe that could be the case.
eye_spi: Right? It's a small town. She's on a dating app. Somebody's gonna see it. That's kinda the point of the exercise.
tigm2161130: op is definitely giving themselves too much credit here.
Punkin_Queen: Main character syndrome
The-Go-Kid: You're being a bit harsh on OP there. He clearly feels bad for his potential role in the situation, making snarky comments about him might be a very Reddit thing to do, but isn't exactly necessary.
KBunn: >He clearly feels bad for his potential role in the situation
He shouldn't. Information on the web is public information. If you don't want everyone to know, don't post yourself as available on a dating site.
OP has no responsibility at all.
The-Go-Kid: And that's fair enough, but there's no need to talk about him like he's an asshole.
bukem89: Dude was talking some kind of sense until his reply below. We all have main character syndrome to some degree - it's an inevitable part of seeing the world through our own eyes. It's not an insult to point out that it could apply here
aussie_nub: >We all have main character syndrome to some degree
Nah man, I'm happy to be an NPC.
jaxsotsllamallama: Same. Hell I’d be happy just being a tree
Toucangenocide: Wood you? 
jaxsotsllamallama: I hate that I laughed at this

I never once said anything about a dildo, so you look pretty silly right now. Are you secretly in the closet and projecting? Please don't abuse your kids!
true_lightskin: go back and see how this thread started dumbass. I see you like to join convos you have no idea about and talk out your ass (pun intended). You just showed me the fool you really are. And because people can’t tell who’s who from a distance, i’m gonna let you claim the title of biggest village idiot. Won’t be responding so feel free to type as much as you want, or don’t, idc about your dumbass opinion.
komrobert: You're the dumbass here, bud. I never said anything about a 14 year old with a dildo. Whether or not that is appropriate is none of my concern, and there's no evidence to suggest he was even using it on himself rather than a female partner.
My reply was to your comment about "nothing is supposed to go up your butt" which should have been very obvious, but obviously not for your pea brain:)
true_lightskin: Not reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened. I don’t care. You came here just to try to be right about something and were still wrong. Nothing is supposed to go UP your butt. Point Blank Period. Argue with your father
komrobert: Saying something "point blank" without any absolute evidence of such, makes you the village idiot, sorry friend:)
true_lightskin: Nope, we already established your side of the argument is “anecdotal evidence.” Lol so i’m right again. I could lowkey do this all day i just got some free time. What else you wanna be wrong about?
komrobert: We did not establish any such thing, what I said is that a lot of the evidence is anecdotal, but there is some limited scientific research on the role of the prostate in male orgasms.
You'd be able to read it for yourself if you read the scientific review article I linked earlier, but I think your reading comprehension level might be a tad bit low for that, unfortunately.
true_lightskin: we did, you forgot to read and came in here saying dumb shit. and you were still wrong. G spot is not in your ass you sissy. Go back to your car pages
HorsesSuck120: It very much is. Everytime you orgasim, take a note that your ass constricts. There is literally a spot in the the ass that, if pushed, instantly makes a man hard.
Look it up.
Fuck though man... I hope all your kids turn out gay

1672829184 | 1672845663 | t3_1030jxw | t5_2to41 | 1,138 | semen_junky_69: TIFU by telling my gf I felt sexually frustrated
So yeah, my gf and I hung out today and she had an anxiety attack because of her dad (long story) and I think her depression is coming back. She is on antidepressants and birth control so her libido is quite low, while mine is quite high. I have felt, guiltily, sexually frustrated about this for a while because I haven't felt very wanted by her. It feels like I always have to convince her to do anything sexual and I guess I just want to be convinced every now and then as well. On top of that, a lot of our sex revolves around struggling to get her to orgasm, which she gets very upset if I'm messing up. Anyways, I shared most of this with her today, I knew she was in a bad mood and I honestly don't know why I felt the need, but I told her and she got very upset. She said that she felt inadequate, that she couldn't satisfy me and that she felt guilty for having such a low libido and having to be on antidepressants, that she felt pathetic etc. I know she's been feeling insecure about a lot of stuff for a while now, I feel like I really fucked up by telling her, and I'll try to bring it up another time when she's feeling better. Am I in the wrong here?
TL/DR: Told my girlfriend I was sexually dissatisfied when she was in a bad mood, turns out she feels terrible about it and really insecure, am I in the wrong for bringing it up?
Edit: thanks so much for the range of advice! No, we're not breaking up, yes, I'm still valuing my needs, and yes, I'm approaching it better. She's asleep right now, but I've texted her a very sincere apology for my timing and for how she has been feeling (she was feeling pretty distraught after everything today) I have also invited her to, when she's ready, talk about how we can better foster intimacy in our relationship. I think we've both felt a lack of that in the past few months due to several factors I won't get into here, but I think this is a step in the right direction. Lemme know what you guys think
ViciousAssKoala: I couldn't get past the
>I always have to convince her to do anything sexual
part. That's coercion. At the end of the day if she says no, leave it at that. Go jerk yourself off. Why TF do you think it's ok to "convince" her to have have sex with you. Your putting your need to get off above her right of autonomy and then guilt triping her into having sex with you. That's probably a big part of why she doesn't orgasm with you, she's busy thinking about how she never wanted to have sex and is only doing it do get you off her back. Your an asshole, rapist, and preying on someone with mental health issues.
walk_through_this: Rapist is a bit much. It's wrong to express a need for sexual intimacy that the other person is overlooking? I think you are reading too much into this statement. While I agree it's far from ideal, there's a difference between 'I miss the closeness we used to have' and *rape*. If his partner wants to get up and leave the room, she can. They're both adults.
I'm not saying it's a healthy relationship, or even that she should stay. But rape is a bit much. She needs to accept some responsibility for saying she wants a romantic relationship with OP but then not wanting to share the intimacy which is a reasonable part of that relationship. She does not owe OP sex, not ever. But if she doesn't want to have sex with him, maybe she shouldn't keep him as her partner. They are both adults.
ViciousAssKoala: Coercing someone to have sex after they've explicitly said no, is rape. I agree with you on everyother point you've made. OP can also easily walk away if her limited sex drive isn't what he needs. But OP should never be "convincing" her to have aex with him.
walk_through_this: So if he asks her for sex and she says no, when is he allowed to ask again? An hour? A week? A year? How long until it's not rape?
Again, it's far from ideal. But he isn't forcing himself upon her. If he were getting her drunk or using drugs or deliberately putting her in circumstances of impairment, then sure. But he isn't doing any of those things. He's not trying to ignore her will - He's asking her to choose to change her will.
Consider the following:
Husband: Could we have sex tonight?
Wife: I am really enjoying this book and wish to continue reading it, so no.
Husband: Please reconsider. I am feeling very lonely and isolated and I am longing for some physical intimacy with you.
Wife: That's fair. I love you, I don't want you to feel lonely, and my book will still be there in the morning. Let's go upstairs, my love.
*married nookie happens, everyone involved has a nonzero number of orgasms and gets a good night's sleep*
You're saying that in this circumstance, the husband is *raping* his wife?
alice_op: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ)
Here's a video to try and help clear the consent issue up for you.
Yes, coercing a partner into sex is marital rape.
walk_through_this: I guess we're arguing over what constitutes 'coercing'. See my previous post.
ViciousAssKoala: Sexual coercion is unwanted sexual activity that happens when you are pressured, tricked, threatened, or forced in a nonphysical way. Coercion can make you think you owe sex to someone.
walk_through_this: I agree completely. So, a question: is the situation I describe above sexual coercion? I don't think it is. Asking someone to reconsider isn't impairing their faculties, or lying, or tricking them in any way. It isn't forcing the person to do so, he hasn't diminished her ability to choose at all. He has not threatened any consequence.
You're avoiding the question: is the situation I described above 'coercion'?.
ViciousAssKoala: The scenario you made up I do not believe is coercion. However if husband kept making advances and kept talking about how much he needed to sexually be with her that would be coercion
walk_through_this: Thank you.

1673682620 | 1673736557 | t3_10biwek | t5_2to41 | 2,908 | psqhcf: TIFU by trying to prove to a friend that they can quit smoking if they put their mind to it. OMG it is so hard!
I occasionally smoked in my younger years, somewhat regularly ages 21-23 but quit cold-turkey after leaving my bar job.
That was well over a decade ago.
These days I don't take more than a few cigars a year.
Ever so rarely I'll bum a cig when drinking and smoke like half.
So I consider myself a non-smoker, but with the experience of having quit.
This long-term close friend of mine is also a long-term decades-long smoker.
They know they need to quit, but have said how hard it is and worry they won't have the fortitude to stick it out.
So back in November, I offered to be their New Year's Resolution quitting buddy.
Of course, to quit, you have to be a smoker.
So I bought an induction-style tobacco aerolizer and started using it.
First one in the morning, one at lunch, one at night, then tapering up.
By the end of the year I was at about half a pack per day, and had been smoking every day for close to two months when quitting day came..
January 10, the last day of our year-end vacation, was the date we set to quit.
We both semi-ceremoniously threw away our last packs and the vapes.
For the past four days now I've felt light-headed, restless, a sort of strange sensation in my breathing and occasionally runaway heart rate, have been listless and sleepy during the day, unable to wake up even after a strong tea or coffee, and worst: I cannot stop thinking about tobacco. I find myself wondering if I forgot another pack somewhere, woke up one day and unthinkingly went to open my desk drawer where I had kept it, and am emotionally "uneven" in a way I never am.
We have been checking in with each other a few times per day, sending thumbs ups and "hang in there" encouragement.
But OH MY FUCK this is hard.
My friend must be having even stronger withdrawal symptoms considering they were smoking one or two packs a day for over a decade.
I'm realllllly feeling for what they must be going through.
Good thing is, its giving me extra incentive to keep them on track.
And hopefully, their knowing I'm going through the same with them, gives them the incentive they need.
I'm 100% not going to give in, but I have a LOT more sympathy now for why long-term smokers have such a hard time of it.
How long is this going to last!?
[FUCK!](https://media.tenor.com/YyatTqgEoz4AAAAC/ted-lasso-roy-kent.gif)
TL;DR: To help a friend quit smoking, I took up smoking; now I'm also having a hard time quitting smoking.
erybody_wants2b_acat: My husband had been a regular smoker for over a decade when I met him 6 years ago. He went through maybe two to three packs a week. We start dating 5 years ago and I’m a cancer survivor so he’s very careful not to smoke around me since I’ve got severe respiratory issues. COVID hits and he just quits cold turkey. He handled it like a champ and I am so incredibly proud of him!!! Thanks for sharing and for being a support for your buddy!!!
Head-like-a-carp: A man writes to tell about his sufferings from withdrawal. You chime in with the story about how it didn't affected your husband at all. Somehow I think you missed a point
psqhcf: > story about how it didn't affected your husband at all
I didn't read it that way:
> He handled it like a champ and I am so incredibly proud of him!
This is what someone says when someone tried hard and did good.
snarpsta: What the hell is an "induction style tobacco aerolizer"? Is that a fancy way of saying a vape? A pipe? Congrats on quitting though regardless! That's amazing! I quit smoking a pack day/7 years or so. Been vaping for 6 years or so. I don't smoke anymore but I am *extremely* addicted to vaping. I need to quit vaping but I'm just quite not ready yet.
Keep it up though! You got this!
psqhcf: It’s iQos, specifically Terea is the one we were using. I’ve never seen the liquid-based vapes except a colleague from the US brought one. I’m not sure it’s legal here, actually.
snarpsta: Oh what the fuck. Going to look those up now... Where are you located? I'm in California, and the dip shits in our state just voted to make it illegal to buy any vape juice flavors. Pure, unflavored products are allowed. But nothing fruit, custard etc
psqhcf: I looked it up, illegal, but with a loophole probably intended to allow visitors to bring theirs without punishment:
> In Japan it is illegal to sell nicotine-containing e-cigarettes as they are categorised as medicinal products, and as of yet none have been approved in this manner. However, individuals can import up to one month's supply of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes for their own personal use.
snarpsta: Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

[deleted]: yea, darkskins
Vivistolethecheese: Racist
[deleted]: no?? wut da heck
Vivistolethecheese: Those are racist terms, look it up or ask some black people (and maybe don't say the word fully, wtf)
tyty657: The one people on Reddit don't know what a joke is look at his last comment he was joking. Too I don't think I've ever met a black person in my life who is offended by the term "blacks" honestly don't know about "dark skins" I've never used that term because it's not a particularly useful term.
Vivistolethecheese: Such a good joke, that nobody laughed.
Jokes are not an excuse to be racist, and it sure as hell seems you haven't met any black people if you think degrading terms such as those are appropriate.
I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't racist as a child, and whenever I said things like that I got shut down IMMEDIATELY by my black friends, and I know very well how much those terms hurt them, and it's a lesson well learned. You don't say hurtful things for a joke, it just makes you an asshole.
tyty657: Again I've never used the term "dark-skinned person" in a conversation outside of this one. I don't even know why you would use that because it's basically useless. But I have used the term "blacks" before and none of my black friends have ever taken issue with it.
Vivistolethecheese: Literally look it up and holy fuck quit saying it.
tyty657: What do you want me to look up?!
Vivistolethecheese: Idk maybe the thing we've been talking about...
tyty657: The only remotely relevant thing I got from a search was some article about words that are "secretly" actually offensive and that website included several things that I'm certain aren't generally considered offensive unless you use them wrong. And anything can be considered offensive if you use it wrong.
Vivistolethecheese: Bro I got millions of results. Unless you just searched the word, which isn't going to do anything, you have a trashy Google and are just straight up lying.
I looked up "this (word) is not offensive", just to see if using complicit bias searches would pop up with results opposing me, and NOTHING like what you said came up. Yikes.

1674740088 | 1674776190 | t3_10lrx8w | t5_2to41 | 219 | shrike2214: TIFU by trying to encourage my wife
\[Obligatory this was 2020 but still haunts me\]
During the entire COVID crisis me and my wife decided to do something about our weight, found a plan that'd work for us, we were both working from home, cake shops and restaurants were all closed so we decided it was now or never. Now if anyone has tried to lose weight alongside their partner they might find that people who are following the same plan and same diet will lose weight in different ways and at a different pace. Even worse when your partner has some body image issues too.
My wife began to struggle part way through because she wasn't seeing any movement on the scales, I suggested she take some progress pictures because scales can stick while your body still changes, couple of days later shes looking at old pictures, looking at a new picture and flicking back and forth before announcing "Nope, can't see any difference, this is pointless" so I say send me the pictures you're using and I'll see if I can pinpoint where you've changed (because often she can't see the changes until its pointed out by external source). This is where the fuckup happened, I had one of those moments when your fore-brain lets slip a thought, that moves to your mouth, and exits, all while your hind-brain is going "Mate, what the fuck was even that?"
Looking at both pictures, taken about 4months apart I could tell the difference almost immediately, and before I had chance to stop the words leaving my slack mouth I blurted "Ah come on, you've lost an entire chin!"... The look on her face... It wont leave me, I see it before I go to sleep still, this wide eyed, jaw agape look of "Did you really just fucking say that?" the right thinking part of my brain was doing the "Aright I'm done" action while I tried to claw back what I'd said
Thankfully I lived to tell the tale, after explaining what I meant, showing her what I could see and smoothing that one over, but it was a massive lesson to pause and think before I speak. This is now and will always be referred to amongst us and our friends as 'The Chincident'
TL;DR: Wife was losing weight, wasn't sure she was progressing, I looked at progress pictures and told her she had lost an entire chin
i_poop_alot: My wife had been working out. She’s always been tall and skinny without much meat on her bones, but as she started working out she began to get a bit more muscle tone, and was obviously feeling stronger.
I don’t know where I got this in my head, but I had always perceived Thunder Thighs as a complement, meaning nice strong legs. Like volleyball player legs, for example.
So lo and behold, she didn’t feel complimented when I told her she’s “starting to get thunder thighs” since she began working out. We can laugh about it now, but it took some explaining.
quinalou: I'm not a native english speaker and up to this minute I had categorized thunder thighs in the positive category as well! Gotta use it thoughtfully then I guess lol
ShaderzXC: To be fair as a native English speaker I assumed it was only positive too. Because the imagery created by thunder is powerful. Same thing with ‘lightning stripes’ and ‘boulder shoulders’
stachemz: Reminds me of a Knight's Tale. "Your beauty will be reflected in the strength of my horse, the power of its flanks."

My only potential lead is that my mother is really strict so being 22 but living at home I still hide a lot of things from her like the fact that I smoke cigarettes or vape. Is it a learned trait from hiding things lying to loved ones?? Like idk??

1672830072 | 1672844328 | t3_1030tzo | t5_2to41 | 35 | Reyon2099: TIFU by taking my cat to the vet and giving him an allergic reaction.
Just got back from the vet so it happened today.
My dad received a call from our vet telling him that we missed our 4 year and a half old stray cat's annual anti-rabies vaccine and some other and that he really needs those vaccines.
So today I took my cat to the vet to get his shots. While there, the doctor suggested that we also do an internal and external deworming. Given my cat is very agressive with people trying to put stuff up his throat, we agreed to have him dewormed with some drops on the fur on the back of his nape. The vet gave some more advice, we payed and left.
We get home, let the cat out. Not long after, my little guy started puking. We thought it wasn't uncommon. He does that every few days when he eats too much. But he just didn't stop. He kept on vomiting on and on until only white liquid came out so I told my dad to prep the car so we can take him back.
Poor guy even vomited in his cage in the car. We got him there, explained what happened and the vet proceeded to shave his paw and administer some substances to calm the vomiting down. My cat got so scared that he soiled and pooped himself and it was really messy and very sad.
We managed to calm him down and they administered some medicine and washed him up. The vet told us that it's a really rare allergic reaction to the deworming drops that causes puking and diarrhea.
So now my cat is on infusions because he is dehydrated and we have to pick him up later.
He seemed pretty pissed at us for taking him to the vet. Hope he gets better and that he forgives me. I will have to treat him to his favourite food tonight.
TL/DR: Took my cat to the vet for annual vaccine and deworming to make sure he is healthy. Cat got an allergic reaction from the deworming drops and puked a lot. Took him to the vet back and had to hold him while he kept on puking and soiling himself until the vet could administer medicine.
UPDATE: Got him to the vet again to take his cannula off. He is eating and drinking water normally. He will be okay. He probably really hates the vet now though.
Tanagrabelle: He will forgive you! And he might even associate going to the vet with feeling better!
Reyon2099: Don't know about that. I just got him back home and I gotta watch him and feed him little by little. So I will be back with an update.

Espexer: I'll bet you don't like Dave Grohl.

This happened yesterday. I work in a fine dining kitchen, and I have been here for 6 months now. My executive chef (we will call him Andy) and I had worked together for 5 years at our old place of employment, so we are pretty close as far as coworkers go. Yesterday was a big day for me, because Andy asked me to come up with the next weekly feature. I had written down the ingredients I needed ordered, shared the recipe with him, he even knew how much product I needed. But when the truck shows up, none of my stuff is sent for delivery, and they say it will be next week before they can bring the right stuff. So I didn't have my product, and I was livid!
Andy is upstairs meeting with an older man (found out he is our food rep later). They were sitting at a table talking about new products. I politely interrupt to tell Andy the situation. He replies "sounds good, just write down what you need so I don't forget to order it. Without thinking about any of it, I responded "I'll get it tattooed on my dick and you can check it out whenever you want." Both of them are speechless. It takes a moment to process what I just said. Then as if it will fix what just happened, I say " what? At least then you can't lose it then. Then I shamefully walked away. Andy hasn't said anything to me yet, but oh my god I'm mortified!
TL;DR - My executive chef didn't order my ingredients, so I told him I'd tattoo my order on my dick so he could check it out any time.
IGetHighAndAdoptDogs: My god… and THEN you doubled down… ☠️
PocketOppossum: Yeah, at the moment it seemed like such a good recovery. It was not.
IGetHighAndAdoptDogs: In my experience, it’s good practice not to use the word *dick* during the first 5 minutes of meeting someone 😂 Even if it’s just within earshot.
406highlander: Pro-tip - never meet anyone whose first name is "Richard" :)
mcnathan80: My name happens to be Harold Richard Enballz what's so funny?
LadyBug_0570: At least it's not Biggus Dickus.
406highlander: He has a wife, you know. Do you want to know *her* name?
LadyBug_0570: *Presses lips together with an "Oh God please don't tell me" look in my eyes.*

1672840832 | 1672861393 | t3_1034d3z | t5_2to41 | 73 | Goaliedude3919: TIFU by taking go-karting too seriously
After reading about the guy who pelted his boss in the had with paintballs, it reminded me of this (now funny) moment. This happened almost 10 years ago now, but fortunately we can all laugh about it now.
I was fresh out of college, starting my first job post-graduation. As a team building exercise, my boss decided to take all the new hires out for a round of go-kart racing. I'm super competitive by nature, so I'm gunning for the fastest time. My boss is in first place and I'm hot on his tail. We're coming up to a hairpin turn, where you can really make up some time if you take the turn super tight. My boss takes the turn a bit too tight and the nose of his go-kart catches on the railing, turning his kart 90 degrees. I'm going full speed into this turn trying to make up some time and can't react fast enough to him coming to a complete stop in the middle of the track, resulting in me t-boning him at full speed.
It was probably the adrenaline at the time, but fortunately he was feeling relatively ok afterwards, just a little sore. I, of course, felt terrible and kept apologizing, but he assured me that he was the one mostly to blame for taking the corner too tight. Fast forward a week or two and he's still feeling the aftermath of the impact, so he decides to go see a doctor. This is when he finds out that he has a cracked rib.
Now, something else to know about my boss is that he's also very competitive at tennis and plays in a very competitive league that he even travels for. Naturally, playing tennis with a broken rib is very painful and the doctor told him that for the rib to heal properly, he would need to skip the remainder of the tennis season. Upon learning this, I felt even more terrible as it now impacted his whole summer, not being able to do the one thing he loves most in his down time.
I was worried the he would hold a grudge and that my time at the company would be short, but fortunately he's a good natured guy and I still work there 10 years later. We like to laugh and tell the story to new employees. Especially if a new employee has made some sort of mistake, we bring it up to say "Hey, it's hard to mess up more than breaking your bosses ribs, but he's still around" lol.
TL;DR - tried to go fast in a go-kart, broke my bosses ribs in the process.
Can_Chan: Moral of the story is never sleep on the mushroom item
Ftlist81: Or use the blue shell.

1672844749 | 1672853720 | t3_1035t40 | t5_2to41 | 4 | TheBurntToaste: TIFU by missing email on deadlines
So I’m in school and as the deadline approached for my semester I was a little in trouble.
My grades for math and two other classes were extremely low, but I was counting on the short makeup window my math teacher graciously provided us.
She gave us a total of 21 hours to make up ALL late work. I took this offer and stayed late almost everyday doing what I should’ve done months ago. Unfortunately I did not finish everything and was like at a 67% grade for the class. This was because I let the work pile up so much. Now, my teacher is a very kind woman and she had emailed me that she saw the effort put in and I could have a 2 day extension for the work. Which is great news because that meant I could easily finish on the remaining assignments and get the passing C-.
It’s important to note I get a ton of spam emails that I always put off unsubscribing from until “later”. Meaning I didn’t see the email she sent me because I’m a blind idiot who let the spam build up. I also didn’t read my email and just skimmed over everything. And I didn’t realize this until 2 weeks later, after the grading period ended and no changes can be made. So yea, I learned my lesson. I should’ve done my work and been checking my emails.
TL;DR: Didn’t do work, stayed afterschool to make up, missed email about extension, D is permanent
Comfortable-Policy70: No, you didn't learn your lesson. The lesson is not to check your email. The lesson is to do your work on time, every time
TheBurntToaste: Yea already got it so I stay afterschool for tutoring lol
Tough lesson but had to learn it 💀

[removed]
Bigdaddylovesfatties: The first step is recognizing you have a problem
Mitchmac21: I know it’s just really depressing
slc97: Dude, I had to do the same thing when I was trading stock options. Now I have a rule. I don't trade stock options, and I only gamble on cruises/at casinos, and I go in with a budget.
If it's something you enjoy, you can still do it, but you can't have it readily available at your fingertips. Here's the non-depressing news. You lost 4 grand. I lost 5 grand as a law student with over a hundred thousand in debt, and I bounced back just fine. 4 grand is a recoverable number. You're gonna be alright, you just know now that you have something you need to self-regulate on.
Feel free to DM me if you ever need anything, man.
Mitchmac21: Thanks man, that’s a good way to do it. Only special occasions if at all.
slc97: They're your impulses. At the end of the day other people can help you (my fiance helps me with mine a lot), but it falls to you to control them.
I fuckin love playing cards. I do not love it enough to lose everything, but if I signed up for an online gambling service, I totally would, so I know I have to wait until I'm in a controlled environment. I just had a great time gambling on a cruise cause I knew I only had 6 days, I had a budget, and every time I won, I socked away some of the winnings. Walked in with 800, walked out with 2400 and spent all of it on vacation stuff, which was way better than sitting there and losing all of it.
Always think about what you could do with the money instead of losing it, and you'll moderate yourself a lot more. Also remember that it's not your fault. Addiction runs in a lot of families. You just have to accept the curse and break the cycle yourself, brother.
Mitchmac21: This comment resonates with me more than you know. Any time I have a big loss I always think about what I could have done with the money after the fact and need to think about that before hand.
slc97: I was the same way. I'd tell my fiance (then gf) I'd lost money, and she'd tell me what we could've used the money for, and it would piss me off cause I'd feel guilty.
Then I lost big and ate shit, deservedly so, for it, and I started hearing her voice in my head beforehand. Made a world of difference.

1674751130 | 1674759621 | t3_10lw3ck | t5_2to41 | 28 | Lemonhead663: TIFU by connecting a new controller to my sister's xbox one
I feel like the biggest piece of shit. This took place last night but I'm going to be trying to fix this every day I can. Last night my sister (24f) and I (28m) had gotten home after picking up her boyfriend from work. We had just gotten a new xbox controller because the previous one fell in soup. I had just connected the controller to the xbox at the same time my sister asked me to show the new controller to her boyfriend. The Tv was not on yet I was looking for the remote somehow either I pressed the reset button on the xbox or he pressed the perfect random buttons to hard reset the xbox one.
My sister had to change her old phone number a few years ago and that phone number is attached to the account. There isn't a second email attached to the account and contacting the previous phone number isn't an option either as they have already tried to steal information from my sister before. I've opened a support ticket with Microsoft but we haven't had any luck with the account recovery form. Tbh I'm just hoping to get enough attention to get the account back there 10+years of save data and achievements.
I have the email for the account, I have the xbox id number, I have card information that's tied to the account as well as an active subscription to gamepass with my debit card. I'm incredibly desperate here my sister is rightfully upset about this. From what I've seen on the internet the only way this can be fixed is if I can elevate this in Microsoft support to the point where they allow me to make a fresh Microsoft account that they then transfer everything to.
I'm seriously trying anything to get this back this is our household xbox and this is the account she's had for years.
Tl;dr connected xbox controller somehow hard reset my sister's xbox one and are now locked out of the account.
Question_Few: I find this one a but hard to believe. How do you fuck up so bad that you navigated to the factory reset option and passed the numerous confirmation checks when the input needed to add a new controller isn't even remotely the same?
Sylvartas: Yeah it's not even that easy to navigate to in developer mode, how the hell does that happen

1672847955 | 1672861758 | t3_1037335 | t5_2to41 | 18 | emptyempty0000: TIFU by mixing my medications and possibly giving myself serotonin syndrome
I have anxiety. Social anxiety especially. I start off my day at work by taking one of those olly gummies for stress. Ive been taking them almost every day for a few months now. At first it started off with one a day. They started to not affect me as much as they used to, so I started taking 2, then 3 a day. They make me feel great and worry free, so I don’t stress about my 12 hour shifts.
I’m also on a very low dose of cymbalta, 5mg. I also take 2.5 mg buspirone if needed. I can’t take them together at the same time or my body reacts all weird. Must be an Interaction thing. I thought nothing of it until today.
The fuck up comes when I’ve been slacking on my cymbalta. Over my weekend, I skipped a day or 2 and messed up the time of day I took it at. Come around to my Monday at work, I get my usual withdrawal anxiety from fucking up my cymbalta schedule. I didn’t take it that day either. I’ve done this before and the easiest fix is to take a bit of buspirone with the cymbalta to cancel out the anxiety so I don’t panic at work. I figure my cymbalta schedule will be on track by the end of the week. I know I shouldn’t mix them, but I was desperate to calm down. I also had like 2 olly gummies that day as well. Felt great after that! The next day comes and I feel weird when I wake up- very panicky and anxious, like something bad was gonna happen. So I pop more olly gummies. The day after that, couldn’t sleep for shit and I was agitated, fatigued, mentally foggy and had loss of appetite. Then today I woke up, still a bit anxious and paranoid. Come 10 hours into my shift, I have a panic attack. Everything is disorientated, I’m paranoid as hell, shaky but tense at the same time. It was so embarrassing, my coworkers could tell I was tweaking. Any time I looked in my coworkers eyes, it felt like he was staring in my soul like a demon.
I forgot that I mixed my medication and then realized that for the past few days, I was having mild serotonin syndrome effects. I’m currently refraining from taking any of my medication until the rest of it is out of my system. Currently feeling like nothing is real, and my vision is sharp . Apparently my medications can cause SS And too much gaba (an ingredient in the olly gummies) can cause SS as welll. I’m Just gonna go to bed and sleep it off.
TLDR: mixed my medication along with gaba gummies and messed with my natural serotonin receptors resulting in paranoia
Stock_Charming: Dose is way too low for serotonin shock.
emptyempty0000: Hm, I wonder what It was Then. It only happens when I mix those 2 medications
Stock_Charming: You know sometimes random ingredients can trigger interactions. I take Cymbalta 60mg if I take dayquil anxiety and paranoia occurs.
It could be from the ingredients targeting the gaba receptor. Typically gummies don't go through clinical trials so the interaction or pk is not understood.
Sorry to be short in the first post. But don't stop your regular meds, look into the gummies and potential interactions.
emptyempty0000: Ah that makes sense. Thank you. That’s odd how 60mg can interact with dayquil. I Guess everyone’s different and things just happen.
Stock_Charming: Totally our bodies are strange. Klonopin helps though, may be worth a discussion with your doc.

1674754216 | 1674871507 | t3_10lxcb5 | t5_2to41 | 47 | Dapper-Judge-629: TIFU by not reading what I purchased more thoroughly. Was on the hunt for CBD and got sold HHC instead.
TLDR in the caption, however for context, my fiancé and I react terribly to any form of thc. Highs are excruciating and we panic severely. No matter how many tries, we have had zero luck so we avoid it.
My fiancé hit a weed pen of a coworker the night prior and was not doing well; I went to buy him some CBD to bring him down a little and make things more calm. Unfortunately, I did a terrible job at double checking what I was just sold and blindly purchased what I was recommended by the vape store guy. I brought home HHC gummies instead.
After each taking a gummy (my fiancé took 2) we go about our day but while canoodling in bed, I begin to feel woozy and tingly. We both looked at each other and thought “Oh fuck.”
Next thing you know, we are both high as all hell and fighting the panic that comes with it. Our bodies are on fire and we are speaking nonsense while trying to remain present.
We ended up bedlocked for 12 hours and were not having a good time at all. I made his residual weed panic worse and sent myself spiraling. Not a fuck up im proud of and he will definitely not let me live it down, hahah.
sonofabee: It sounds like maybe you should just stop fucking around with substances you don’t handle well altogether.
Dapper-Judge-629: It’s almost as if I meant to get CBD and got the wrong thing by mistake. You don’t have to tell me twice. I knew how CBD affected us and it was our best bet.
Junior_Fig_2274: He might have been referring to how your bf prob shouldn’t have hit someone’s weed pen if he knows thc makes him freak out. I mean….. why do that?
Dapper-Judge-629: He re-attempts it at small doses here and there to try and enjoy it. That’s his reasoning anyway. He *wants* to enjoy the high like normal people do.
Junior_Fig_2274: Ahh, ok I can kinda understand that then. I used to partake heavily before I had a kid. I’ve known people for years that used to be able to smoke, and all of a sudden it turns into a miserable, anxiety-provoking experience that isn’t worth it anymore. But they often have a hard time giving up the social aspect of smoking.
Dapper-Judge-629: He attributes it to doing psychedelics in college. It might’ve crossed some wires in his brain that make weed terrible.
Junior_Fig_2274: Interesting. I dabbled quite a bit myself (and about 20 years ago, when there was always some crazy new research chemical like 2ce to try, as well as the standards like acid and mushrooms), but most people I know who had weed turn on them weren’t into many other drugs. They did have actual mental health issues however, and I always attributed it to that. To be fair though I lost touch with many of the people I used to trip with so perhaps that’s more common than I realize.

[deleted]
Sarconiux: Leave, man. For yourself and your child. Trust me on this, that child would much rather have two parents who are separated and happy than parents who are “together” and despise each other and fight constantly.
My parents had a good relationship, but they still fought. I remember the fights and the fear and anxiety more clearly than I remember the good times. Parents *SEVERELY* underestimate how much their children see, hear, and understand. The venomous looks when trying to not fight, the nasty passive aggressive comments, the adult talks in the other room. They know what all that is and means. All it does is scare them, damage them, and skew what their idea of a good relationship is and should be.
And for your own health. You sound like a good dude. You don’t deserve that. You deserve a happy relationship full of love and trust.
This relationship is already bad. You said yourself, there’s no trust. She accuses you of cheating and wanting to leave. She doesn’t show interest in your interests. No passion. Coparenting. You carry the work and chores of the house. No intimacy. It’s already gone, man.
My mom was in a marriage like this before she met my father. It turned extremely abusive, violent, and dangerous when her second child, my half-brother, was born. She was trapped at home all day and when her husband came home, she’d be beaten and vilified for whatever reasons he imagined up, all while the kids had to listen and/or watch. He said he’d kill her if she ever left. He tried. She managed to escape, meet my father, move far away. My half-brother was young enough that he came out of it without much damage. My other half-brother, the eldest? Idolizes his father even though he got the abuse too. Blamed my mother for everything. Said he wanted to kill her too. Etc etc. Lots of other details I could add but you get the point. This shit can turn really bad. I strongly advise you get out now before things get abusive and damaging.
Topinambourg: Some parents are very good at pretending all is well, especially when the relationship is on life support like OP's. Because they both know it's dead and they only care about the kid, there is no fighting as there is nothing to save, and each had a life on their own.
I'm not saying it's the case here, but we actually can't always know what's best for the kid that easily.
Sarconiux: I see where you’re coming from and yeah, that could work, if both parties didn’t fight. But these two do. Accusations of cheating and walking out, and being vilified by the wife and family. There’s definitely disdain and anger there.
Hopefully that doesn’t come off argumentative. I didn’t mean it to be. I’m agreeing and just adding that these two do fight, if that makes sense.
farrowsharrows: Fighting is part of a healthy relationship.
StranglesMcWhiskey: No it isn't. Disagreements can be healthy, you shouldn't be fighting with you partner.
farrowsharrows: There are no two people that spend significant time together that have ever existed that never fight. You have unrealistic expectations if you think partners should never fight.
vNerdNeck: Been together for almost 20 years. Can count on one hand the number of actually "fights / arguments" we've been in and that was all earlier in the relationship when we were younger and still figuring each other out.
If you are arguing with your SO, on a steady basis... you are not in a good relationship.
farrowsharrows: According to kids above you should not be with your significant other

1674754746 | 1674843110 | t3_10lxk0l | t5_2to41 | 10 | [deleted]: TIFU - Let Little Head override Big Head and I'm out lots of money
TIFU came to a head today but is the conclusion of a long list of FUs.
​
\[LONG BACKSTORY, sorry}
​
I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD after a lifetime of showing the symptoms. One of the outward behaviors of ADHD is risk taking, such as gambling addition or sexual behavior.
​
I am married but have never been faithful, I basically "fall for" any woman who shows me kindness and will pursue them if I think there's a chance. Ironically, I usually find sex with anybody except my wife to be a hollow exercise which leads me to look for more instead of doing the logical thing and just keeping it in pants.
​
This seeking behavior has lead to a life of massage parlors, online hookups, and prostitutes. I'm not proud and my salary is enough to not have my serial philandering affect household finances or draw the attention of my wife.
​
During the pandemic, I started using "paid dating" sites where you agree to pay a certain amount to have a date with a woman. I actually found someone early on and had a consistent and satisfying tryst with them for several months (seeing them 1-2 times a month) but as people went back to work the logistics didn't work out and we went our separate ways.
​
All of this leads to the current FU
​
\[Ok long backstory done\]
​
A while ago I saw someone on these dating sites nearby who was attractive and was good to chat with. We spent some time talking and then life took over and we lost touch. About a year later I ended up moving the city where she lived and reached out to her. She, a single mother, was having some financial issues, so I offered to help a little bit (just a couple of hundred bucks) and we ended up meeting up and having a fun time together.
​
After that, it felt like her life started to fall apart, her wheels were stolen (a real issue) so she couldn't work, I helped with that, then the requests started getting more outlandish but, being the sucker I am, I helped as best I could. At some point she moved across the country to stay with her mother and I didn't hear from her for a bit.
​
Then she started again with small "needs" and again, like a sucker I helped out. After the new year, she showed back up in my state and claimed to have a job but needed a little help until pay came in. Again, like the horny idiot I am, I helped.
​
All of this came to a head about a week ago when she sent me the listing for a rental property she wanted to rent along with "proof" she had the security deposit and just needed the first month's rent.
​
Again, like the total fucking rube I am, I sent her some money.
​
Guess what kids? The next morning her "friend" who was going to be helping her pay the rent, etc stole both the deposit and first months rent.
​
At every point in this, my brain was like "this is fucking sus" but little head overode big head and my misplaced horniness, combined with what I would like to think is a legit concern for her child's welfare, but I kept helping with what I could.
​
Supposedly she's in a place now and has a job and hasn't asked for anything in a week or so, but I checked her Facebook page (I've actually had it for a while and what she said to get money usually matched what she was posting about) and this morning she had tagged the friend who supposedly stole all her money and was arrested for it, in a post about how great friends are.
​
I send her a text congratulating her on taking so much money from me but to never get in touch again.
​
I haven't heard back what her excuse will be.
​
The is 100% on my and my own stupidity and self control issues., but I do have to say after being on ADHD meds for a month or so, my risk taking seems to be much less, so hopefully I will be able to exercise a modicum of self control in the future.
​
TL;DR - Prone to risk taking behavior that I didn't realize was part of my AHDH, I let my little head do the thinking and allowed myself to be taken for a non-trivial amount of money by believing I was helping a single mother set up a home for her and her son, with nookie for me being the reward.
Mr_Taviro: I'm not a mental health professional, but I know lots of people with ADHD who don't act like this. About the most sympathetic thing I can say is that you need to come clean to your wife and get the fuck to therapy.
raptir1: That's fine, but these are definitely possible symptoms.
Mr_Taviro: Fair--like I said, I'm not a mental health professional. Whatever the case, OP needs to talk to a professional.

1672852678 | 1672856331 | t3_10393p3 | t5_2to41 | 15 | Markussu69: TIFU by prepaying an escort
Reading the title you definitely already called me a dumbass or said that the story is fake. (both is understandable)
I was swiping through tinder and there was this girl who had her snapchat in her bio, I added her because I hate matching. Her first text was like "I see you liked my pictures" then said "Let's cut the small talk and get straight to the point" and offered me a hookup. (Idk the definition but in my brain a hookup is free) then she told me that she was an escort. (she wasn't even that hot to be one tbh)
I was like I ain't paying for s\*x and told her she is likely to be a scammer. She got attacked by me telling her that she is, since I had to prepay on paypal fnf and told her that I'm not going to do it. After her ranting for like 10 messages and telling me that I'm the bad guy for not believing her and her not being able to prove me that she is not a scammer (pretty funny tbh) I was like, sure let's give this 100% scammer a chance cause why not, prove a point to me since I'm dumb.
After that, yeah I really did it, I sent her the screenshot as a proof and she was stalling to give the address, so badly. I was like "give the address" and she just literally typed another message. After some time she didn't even respond and unfriended me.
Worst thing is, I'm not even that mad. 20 bucks lost yea sure but, karma will take more away from "her" than she got from me.
TL:DR
I prepaid an escort, with no insurance, that I will ever see her or if it even was a female.
*female pronouns to be taken with caution, nobody knows if she even was a female.*
-Spin-: ”A female” - The word you are looking for is “woman” unless you are paying to fuck animals.
Next-Kaleidoscope753: Are women not female? Don’t be offended at the biological term to describe us. He did not use it as an insult. Are you also insulted when people refer to men as males?
-Spin-: Women are female, men are male. A man is not “a male” and a woman is not “a female” its shitty use of language, and indicate that you think of the person in question as something similar to cattle.
ViciousAssKoala: You're triggered over semantics?
-Spin-: Not exclusively.
ViciousAssKoala: Only this time?

TIFU by not doing anything from the past 3 weeks and day after tomorrow I have an exam
After you read the whole thing i would also like to say that it isnt about Amy or Gia anymore... Its just idk what the fuck i am doing or why I am doing... to the point where i can choose death over everything else
This is a throwaway account, because i am afraid of someone i know might find out about the main account. Sorry, but this is going to a long post. This is my first time writing a post so please dont mind my grammatical errors.
I(now 16M) basically had a relationship with (let us say Gia). We basically were the most know couple in our grade because many students saw us kissing(and no one else ever did that in our grade), fast forwarding around 9 months... She basically started ignoring me whenever i visited her class(we were in different classes, we used to meet in breaks) by either reading a book or talking about someone else with me and i tried talking to her about it but being a 12 year old i did not know how to communicate such things. this went on for about 3 weeks and then we had a cultural competition where we were the spectators... when i went near her she basically asked me to go away saying that the "teachers will find out" and then was sitting with another guy for the whole day... that very day I instead of saying "i need a break" said "i am breaking up with you for now" which i realized later was entirely wrong.. But then after 3 weeks i found her kissing another guy(the same guy she was sitting with in the cultural competition)... it was pretty devastating to me and I was basically depressed for 2 months and then i found this other girl(let us call her AMY) who basically helped me overcome my sadness/depression... soon enough i confessed that i liked her and then a month later summer started. During my relationship, my mom saw my chats(in the summer itself) and basically I was detained (which i dont blame her for, given that it was not the time for me to be doing something like that). when I got my phone back I tried contacting her still with the mindset that she was my girlfriend but then she was basically like we had a long break you are not my boyfriend anymore... this was sad but it was not so devastating.. and then we started talking normally until i messed things up
During and before the time i confessed to Amy.. we texted a lot and most of the texts(cheesy ones too) was not me but my friend. I told that to Amy after we started talking normally.... She was shocked and exclaimed that she couldnt trust me anymore... Which I totally 100% Understand.... but still i tried rebuilding the trust she once had on me... at the same time constantly apologizing about the mistake I did (this was probably the reason why she couldnt trust me again, because i constantly reminded about the time i broke her trust by apologizing very often- about once or thrice a day in the inital 4 months) but soon realized it wasnt the case... so i tried everything else for the next 1.6 years.... and then basically asked her to open up about something( i started asking her to open up about once in 2 days) and within a week she basically said you are forcing me a lot I am ending the friendship too... I exclaimed that i did not know anything about her in the 2 years we talked(except i realize now that i did). this whole cliffhanger situtation ate on me and left me at very depressive/sad/anxious state...
I soon realized she was the only reason to why i was studying in the first place.... i even now, till date dont know what the hell i am doing or why i am doing it because there is simply no motivation or reason for me to do it. I basically cant think on subjects or as a matter of fact on my own life... even tho i know that if i dont study i basically have no future... But i basically have accepted all possibilities in case i dont study and even accepted death at this point.
Thank you for reading.... I wanted to share this with someone from the past 1 year.
I have an exam day after tomorrow and in the past 3 weeks i have done nothing. IDFK
tl;dr : I went thru some random situations and basically am clueless about what I am doing
Swedenesebishhh69: You need to try something new then. Step outside your box. Try a sport or a hobby. Whether its biking, photography, gaming. running, making music. learning instruments, cooking.... Volunteer some time it might make you appreciate your life more.
You could take a career assessment test to see what your personality says are good careers( it might be interesting). Trust me, we all go through moments in life that are blah.
Relative-Performer40: In such a case... (i am assuming you are elder to me) how to deal with parents... I live where people(including my parents) dont really care much about our mental health... I tried talking to my parents they just said take like 5 minutes break and then go back to studying.... everytime i try to do something else, they basically end up saying go back to studies
Swedenesebishhh69: I dont believe life should only be studying. My parents did that to my younger brother. Yes, we are older now, but it really fkd up his social skills. There should be time for fun and other interests too.
Relative-Performer40: Yeah well that is why i am asking how to deal with the parents... they dont understand, Since here, the concept is to study for 2 years(11th and 12th grade) and then do whatever you want(at least thats what my parents say)
Swedenesebishhh69: So they dont allow you any social life or after school activities? Thats not healthy for you .
Relative-Performer40: they do allow social life.. and sure they do allow after school activities but due to the assignments and school pressure i barely have an hour to spare... I usually sleep or just try to exercise. on top of that we shifted and there are literally no one my age in the neighborhood so my activity is limited to working out at home.
Swedenesebishhh69: im sorry life has become so unexciting. I think you should start planning an after graduation trip. Start requesting donations from your parents or grandparents. Start looking up locations, prices, things to do while your there. If even for 30 min every other day it will give you something to plan and look forward to.
Relative-Performer40: alright i will take you up on the advice

1674762262 | 1674763544 | t3_10m0jyz | t5_2to41 | 44 | xThrowaway23: TIFU by oversharing a week into seeing somebody
Obligatory this didn't happen today, but last week.
So I (27M) separated in October last year from my wife. We have a young daughter together, and had been together since we were in college. She moved on straight away, but I hadn't met anybody new, until last week.
I met this incredibly attractive (30F) on tinder. We seemed to click straight away, which already seemed too good to be true, because while I'd matched with a few people, getting passed the initial stage of talking hadn't been very successful.
I have ADHD and it causes me a great deal of social anxiety when it comes to meeting people, because I quite often appear rude or arrogant on first impressions, because I have no filter and will blurt out whatevers on my mind with no prior thought on whether it's appropriate or not. It's never intentional, but emotional intelligence is an area that I've always struggled with, but I'm working on it.
So after clicking with her at the start of the week, we agree to go on a date on Sunday, as we were both free without children. As I talk to her more and more as the week goes by, I realise we've got a lot in common, we've got similar interests and sense of humour.
Friday rolls around and turns out she doesn’t work Fridays. I work from home mostly, and she lives nearby, so I suggested meeting her on my lunch to go for a walk, just to break the ice for Sunday.
I thought I'd fucked up when making a serial killer joke as we walked through a secluded wooded area, but she laughed it off and didn't take any notice. After we got back, I invited her into mine for a coffee, and we sat for a while just talking. I realised I was really starting to like her, and she must've thought the same, as when it was time for her to go, she left me with a kiss to remember her by.
It's been a long time since I felt such a spark, the energy and chemistry was apparent straight away. We continued talking, and I was becoming more and more excited about Sunday.
Sunday morning rolls around, and she says she isn't feeling well and started coming down with a cold. I offered to rearrange as it wasn't an issue, and I didn't want her to feel obliged to see me if she wasn't feeling up to it. Instead, she wanted to see me but we didn't go for the original date that I'd planned. We went for a long walk through some woods, before I drove her home.
She invited me in for coffee, and I stayed while we chatted for hours. I'd explained I wasn't looking to rush into something new, but I was really interested in seeing her and had come off the dating apps. We spent some time making out, and I was so nervous I was shaking. She laughed it off, but I was so worried I would put her off by not being my normal confident self.
Somehow our conversation led to how worrying it is dating when you have children, as you always worry about inviting a predator into your life, who's sole purpose is to manipulate you into their trust with their kids. This is where I'd fucked up.
I said I couldn't understand how someone could be that way, when normally they're doing it because they were victims of abuse themselves. She suggested it may be to do with control, that someone did it to them as a child, so it was there way of making sure they didn't feel like a victim again.
So like an absolute moron, I'd admitted to her that I'd actually been a victim of abuse as a child, but as an empath I still couldn't believe someone could do that to someone else when they know how badly it can fuck with someone, in terms of relationships and intimacy.
I didn't really consider that it was way too soon to talk about something so dark, not long after meeting someone. It was probably such a huge red flag for someone with children.
I noticed on Monday our chats had immediately changed. Where we went from texting all day, it was slow replies and not the same energy.
I sat there Tuesday trying to maintain the conversation with her, but I just had this horrible feeling that I'd killed it before it had the chance to actually start. I had admittedly probably been overthinking it, but after being left on read for a few hours, I eventually sent a text saying I'd noticed things were different since Sunday. It might be me overthinking shit, but I was sorry if I weirded things by oversharing. Sometimes stuff comes out without proper thought, but it was a lot when we were still getting to know eachother. I said I get it if she wasn't interested anymore, but I enjoyed getting to know her, but I'd leave her alone if she wanted.
She read it but never replied.
All I want to do is text and apologise again and beg for a fresh start, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't help and I don't want to appear even weirder by not letting go.
I've tried going back on dating apps, but I feel like I'm not gonna find another connection like it so I've given up before I've given it a shot.
TLDR: Told someone I'd been seeing for less than a week that I was abused as a child, killed it dead
(minor grammar and spelling edits)
Nooofewy: Is it truly a fuckup tho? If the whole thing was only about romance, it would come down to this chat afterwards. If she doesn't get that you have some trauma and some past experiences, maybe she isn't stable enough herself to handle a person with possible trauma, that just means you did not end up being attached to someone who might not be ready to commit to a person like you.
I personaly tell people that the awesome package of me comes with a side of ADHD, anxiety, insomnia and trauma and that I sometimes act differently than expected, but that I do not wish for them to feel obligated to help me. This is my struggle to deal with and I simply ask for understanding and better communication (sometimes you have to explain things to me multiple times etc).
It is... Working? It allows me to not get incredibly attached to people who might not be ready. It isn't just about me, but also about their comfort and ability to deal with stuff. Because maybe they deal w something themselves.
xThrowaway23: Thank you for your insight, I'll definitely be taking this approach in the future!
Nooofewy: Just remember that you do not want to go the avoidant attachment style route. Dating as a neurodivergent person or person realizing their trauma can be tough - and we have to remember others might have it too!

1674764861 | 1674813748 | t3_10m1l1n | t5_2to41 | 23,969 | Brofurcated_Septum: TIFU by saying her BJ's "Aren't that good"
Obligatory this happened many moons ago and I'm using a throwaway account.
We were away from home staying with a friend couple. We've all been out on the town with them for the evening, and had returned to their apartment for a little after-party / wind-down before bedtime.
We were outside on their porch drinking and smoking and making a light-hearted jokes about what happens after marriage (the four of us were all planning to get married fairly soon). The guys are lamenting the "no more BJ's after marriage" trope. The ladies are playing along, lamenting the "inevitable loss of romance and chivalry".
My lady says something along the lines of she can't give me too many \[BJ's\] or I won't want the real thing \*wink wink\*. Playful-like, suggesting maybe I'll get the real thing later.
Here's the FU; in my incredibly drunken and slightly embarrassed state I blurted out, "You're BJ's aren't THAT good."
Immediate recognition of what nastiness just leapt from my face. I tried to stutter out an explanation, something along the lines of your sex is so much better, a BJ could never compete, trying desperately to find the keys to my backhoe of stupidly, but the damage was done and there was no saving this dumpster fire.
My lady, obviously hurt, took her friend and went inside the apartment. My buddy just looked at me with his jaw open. We stood there in silence for a few minutes carefully retracing the idiocy that just occurred. He eventually says, "welp, that one's gonna sting for a while." When we finally retire inside, party is over, and I receive nothing but cold shoulder until the morning.
TLDR; in trying to say oral can't compete with her sex-game, I wound up saying her BJ's weren't that good. She still married me, but it's been over ten years since the FU, and I haven't received a BJ since.
—EDIT—
Dang that’s a lot of upvotes! All the comments saying to keep trying to work it out struck home. I’ll bring it up after the kids go to bed. Maybe she’ll want to read your comments? Who knows! Might have to publish another TIFU for listening to Reddit relationship advice.
My personal favorite comment so far is from /u/NoGood_Boyo ([here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/10m1l1n/tifu_by_saying_her_bjs_arent_that_good/j60fge6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)). Seems the rest agree considering it’s most upvoted!
—EDIT2—
I told her about the post. She smiled and said she hopes the crazy internet people give me all their updoots but she has no interest in reading your inane and perverse thoughts. I asked if she’d like to hear a few of the top comments, to which she begrudgingly agreed. She had a good laugh at a few of them, especially the one I mentioned before. She asked me to send this to our friends that were there that night.
And no, she does not want to give me a BJ.
Hobbit_Feet45: Dude I basically made the same mistake as you, 10 years later.. and I really regret that one.
Brofurcated_Septum: Pouring one out for your brotha
Butthole__Pleasures: I'm also in the same boat, but I think mine's slightly more ridiculous. When we were still dating, my wife gave me my first (and gave her first) BJ. Afterward she complained that it took forever and I said, "Well, with practice it will probably take less time." She flipped out. Haven't had one since. 17 years later she still brings it up.
She's a very grudgy person. She never lets *anything* go.
Disco_35: Jesus, that wasn't even that bad of a thing to say lol
Butthole__Pleasures: Yeah, she's pretty ridiculous about small things sometimes. I didn't even say it was bad. When she brings it up, she will reword it like I said she was terrible or something which is even more annoying.
ivebeenabductedhelpm: Why do you put up with her, Sounds annoying af to deal with
Butthole__Pleasures: It's just one part of her as a person. Everyone has things about them that suck or are annoying, myself included.
NeatFool: Distorting reality to be seen as a victim and gain sympathy or leverage in a relationship isn't a "part" of a person, it's a diagnosable personality disorder.
She's not the first or only person who does this and it's typically hugely damaging the longer it continues.
But congrats!
Butthole__Pleasures: She's not exactly distorting reality. She is remembering what it *felt* to her like I said because she was offended whereas I remember what was actually said because I'm the one who said it and know the intent of it.
NeatFool: But one thing is real and one isn't.
But enjoy the dynamic of placating the always offended wife, all my friends who are stuck in it certainly seem suicidal!
Orphodoop: Bro you're digging on one aspect of a longterm, deep-rooted relationship that you know nothing about. Let it go
NeatFool: Nah, you can suss out faulty dynamics fairly easily.
Most people are not in control of their lives.
pornthrwawy1: you are insane.

Excuse_my_GRAMMER: Man this is very gray area - there a fine line for teenager coaching that you don’t want to cross
And this is one of them at no point you should be texting or having any personal relationship with your students
even if your innocent it looks bad
VitalEcho: Very much not a gray area. This is a black area. He is past the fine line.
Excuse_my_GRAMMER: I meant texting student there are part where it valid.
Like a student texting a coach that they are going to be late or some thing
AncientAd4164: He admitted that he said things he should not have said to her, and also complained about his love life. This isn't a gray area. He's in the wrong.
Excuse_my_GRAMMER: Why are ya selective reading my comment lol
a coach having a texting teenage student IS A GRAY area was the point . A coach and student can text each other about stuff that being late , schedule changes etc etc
But the coach discussed personal life and being friendly is crossing the line
AncientAd4164: There's just no reason to even mention that considering we know by OP's post that he crossed line by so far that it's barely about a coach and a student and more about an adult man saying things he shouldn't have and confiding in a child when that's entirely inappropriate. There's no reason to mention the gray area. We know.
Excuse_my_GRAMMER: There is a reason for the discussion because he is a coach and he does have to text it
Adult texting teenagers in general is a gray area
Weather it a mentor / Mantee , coach/student , manager/worker etc etc
What OP did was cross the line
chuckandizmom: A school employee texting a student is never a grey area. It is NOT condoned. And he is responsible for not putting an immediate stop to it. I’ve taught high school and adult education and it’s not even permitted in adult education. Stop making excuses here.
Excuse_my_GRAMMER: Where do you see me making excuses? 😂 idk about teachers / student nobody mention that
We talking about coach / student here where some kind of communication will be required
AncientAd4164: No. This is a post specifically about someone who doesn't find it inappropriate to text a child in such a manner. Him being a coach is secondary from that. It would be bad no matter what he did for a living.

1674763838 | 1674793808 | t3_10m16ts | t5_2to41 | 35 | urbeing2loud: TIFU for over sharing at work - an update
[Original here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/10kzj9h/tifu_by_over_sharing_at_work/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
HE GOT THE JOB!! They asked for a week to send the offer via email, but that already happened this morning and he quickly signed it and gave notice.
I am of course relieved, but mostly I am just so happy for him! He was having such a hard time on that company…
We did have a little talk about the incident though…He apologized for overreacting, to which I said it wasn’t an overreaction per se, but we need to work on our communication a bit more. He portrayed a level of closeness to that coworker that just wasn’t there or it has been highly compartmentalized.
He said that they are friends but she’s still HR and he would never trust her enough to be 100% honest because they always work against employees. I think “always” is a bit much, but I see where he is coming from. We all have or know at least a few HR horror stories.
Anyway, all is well when it ends well, and my lesson is to always keep things vague and neutral when talking about someone else’s job.
TL;DR. Update on when I overshared about my brother’s job
GanderAtMyGoose: Yeaaahh "always work against employees" may not be quite true but I don't think I'd ever feel as comfortable sharing things with HR as a different coworker. And I already don't share very much with my coworkers to begin with.
Good that things worked out in the end!
NoctuaFanGuy: No it's true.
HR exists to protect the company from it's staff.
aussie_nub: That doesn't mean they're always actively working against them...
Believe it or not, but sometimes employees and HR have goals that align. Crazy, right?
NoctuaFanGuy: You're a naïve idiot if you ever have any trust in HR.

1674770618 | 1674788909 | t3_10m242o | t5_2to41 | 20 | IndeGhost: I can't believe a 16yr old is being down voted for not wanting his parents arrested. Not to mention having autism and dealing with all the implications with having your parents who provide for you arrested. He has a very good point here as well, yeah I'm sure the cops are just gonna go
"Ah well, he said they stole it so, book em boys!"
Let's say it does play it like that, now what's he gonna do? Maybe some family member would take him in, if they're not against him for putting parents in jail. If not then what, the foster care system?
I can only think it's children replying to you or people absolutely out of touch with reality. OP Sorry your parents are ignorant and treat you like this, I don't know your situation at all but if your parents aren't utterly evil then make it well known you won't stand being walked over, don't let them hide you away and shelter you from things if you feel you can handle whatever it is.
Some parents are very ignorant to the point of causing harm, unless it's truly abusive and being on the streets is better, then as someone who had fairly ignorant parents what improved my situation is standing up for myself. I don't know your full situation I can only offer that surface level advice, best of luck.
harlojones: Oh yeah and then his parents lose the mortgage and everything is fucked forever, Redditors are sooooooo detached.
thisisdrivingmebatty: The mortgage they lied about paying. They never used the money for the "mortgage," it was wasted on tobacco and fast food.
harlojones: That doesn’t mean the mortgage doesn’t exist? If the parents pick up charges that could easily complicate what sounds like an already delicate situation. Them lying about fast food and tobacco is irrelevant to the future of their mortgage.
thisisdrivingmebatty: Again, they lied about needing money for the mortgage. There's no indication about it being in jeopardy at all, they just wanted easy money to spend.
harlojones: Nobody pawns things when things are 100% okay. Do you really have such a ridiculous thought process that you think they’re fine financially and just wanted to pawn their son/fathers silver collection to get some McDonald’s and cigarettes? Things are most likely not ideal.
thisisdrivingmebatty: Ok, but even if things ARE truly that desperate, that's the parents' responsibility to manage, not a 16 year old kid. If they didn't want to further endanger their finances they shouldn't have committed a crime, which is what they've done. If anyone has a ridiculous thought process here, it's you thinking that anyone but the parents are at fault here.
harlojones: Tha fuck are you talking about, obviously the financial situation the parents fault and their burden to bare, that doesn’t change the fact that this child has a decision to make, report his parents to the police and deal with whatever mountain of ramifications come with that, or wait it out two years until he can move out and not implode his life and cause further hardship.

1674766091 | 1674848938 | t3_10m22jw | t5_2to41 | 104 | NorthernWriter90: TIFU by trying to talk to a woman at a bookstore and failing miserably.
I was at a local Barnes & Noble and was looking at a book that appeared interesting. Down the aisle was a woman looking at the manga section in front of the movie and music shelves, and I typically go to the latter shelves. I wanted to strike up a conversation, so I went over and, giving her enough distance, asked her about the manga aisle. She seemed nervous by me coming to her, and while I was trying to be friendly, I suddenly realized she didn't want to talk so I quickly apologized and left.
I'm usually against beginning conversations with women at public places because most get hit on frequently and are there to focus on their work or tasks at hand. For some reason, I used to be good at initiating conversations with strangers when I was younger, but after COVID-19 and trying to be more mindful of my social etiquette, I almost always try to meet women through dating apps. Today, I made an exception to see what would happen, but lesson learned.
TL;DR: I tried to start a conversation with a woman at a Barnes & Noble. I suddenly realized she didn't want to talk and seemed nervous, so I apologized and walked away.
mreJ: Most get hit on frequently? Really?
realahcrew: Yeah. I’m not even “female presenting” (but I am rather short), and it was the DAILY interactions/harassment (not always harassment, but often enough) that finally pushed me into buying a new car after I had retired my old one.
At the time, it was much cheaper and easier to commute by train or walk, but I got so tired of being hit on/touched by/followed by random men that I just had to nope out of using public transit or walking to work. It’s hard to feel safe out there when you’re getting grabbed by strangers who you know could easily overpower you if they wished.
Some people even started to “learn my schedule” of when I was on the train so they could keep making attempts after already being told no. It was inescapable. Until I got my new car, my partner at the time got the job of being my “bodyguard” for a few weeks because of course the strange men wouldn’t bother me if he was there.
mreJ: I mean, there are a lot of men with low morals or low standards, so they will shoot their shot at anything with legs damn near. Assuming most women get hit on frequently though just seems like an exaggerated assumption to live by.
Public transit sounds like the type of place where I could see bummy guys making attempts though, no lie. That must've been so awkward.
Gyms are another spot I can imagine being a hotspot for horndogs to make attempts, but that's sooooo cringe. I could never.
vvitchhazel: It happens all the time, everywhere. Source: Me, a woman. I don’t use public transportation and I don’t go to the gym. I’m married and I don’t leave the house without my rings. Grocery store, fast food drive thru, DMV, parking lots, craft store, urgent care, it’s everywhere. And I’m nothing special. Mid-30s, of average attractiveness, overweight. I don’t dress particularly nicely, as I’m a mom and kids are gross. So assuming most women get hit on frequently is not an exaggerated assumption.
ETA: Bookstores. Seriously, I’ve never NOT been accosted at a bookstore.
realahcrew: Right? I swear I go out of my way to look frumpy and “unattractive” and I’ll still never be free of this until I actually “look” male with hormones (I’m ftm trans) and even then, maybe I won’t be free.
And yes the bookstores! I just wanna check out some cool books and get a coffee or something but alas, I must stick to kindle and make coffee at home if I wish to actually have peace while doing so.
mreJ: Ya know what? Bookstores honestly seem like a nice place to actually try to start a conversation with the opposite sex. It's relaxed environment, mutual interest in books, come off as smarter which is going to obviously be attractive, and someone into books doesn't strike me as the type to go hoeing in the clubs, so odds of future heartache may be reduced.
Idk, maybe that's the thought process for guys? Or maybe they're just pervy and hoping for a naughty book nerd?
I don't visit bookstores 😅

1674766591 | 1674774489 | t3_10m29oj | t5_2to41 | 62 | Upset_Toe: TIFU by keeping my mouth shut.
TL:DR at the bottom.
So my(m17) best friend (also m17) had been planning to break up with his girlfriend (f16) for a couple weeks now. He told me that it just wasn't going to work out with her, and at the same time was being awfully friendly with another girl. Now I kept quiet about it because I didn't want to potentially ruin the friendship we all had going, and didn't want to drag myself into unnecessary drama. So when they finally did break up yesterday, I kept quiet to avoid trouble.
Well, it all came right around and bit me in the ass today. She found out that I knew and didn't tell her, and just silently walked away. A bit later she texted me saying how I broke her trust and that we're not friends anymore. I can only assume she thinks that I'm complicit in all of this, when in truth I didn't say anything because I didn't wanna get caught up in anything. She never even let me explain that to her, just straight up cut things off.
I never picked sides, and in my mind I don't see what I did wrong. I did my best to stay out of the situation to avoid trouble, and I kept quiet so that I didn't make things more complicated, yet I got punished for it. And at the end of the day, it wasn't my place to meddle at all, so I didn't.
TL;DR: lost a friend today because my best friend planned to break up with her, and I didn't say anything about it.
Edit: To clarify, I could've worded some parts better.
First of all, my friend isn't dating this new girl, and he wasn't cheating on his now ex. She's just some clingy underclassmen who hangs around him acting all flirty (it happens to him quite a lot). And no, this new girl has nothing to do with the breakup. He only broke up with her because he wasn't invested in the relationship, and didn't wanna hurt her by continuing to lead her on. Does the ex see it that way? Likely not, since I never got a chance to explain anything to her.
Secondly, there was no "bro-code" anything going on. I stayed quiet because it just isn't my place to step in and mediate things. I've been in situations like that before, and it only led to worse problems. I wanted to avoid stress for me and stayed out of it for fear of making things worse than it had to be. I left it for them to handle, and only stuck around so I can give both of them someone to talk to about things, but I never intended to hurt anyone or even get involved. I didn't pick sides, there was no "bros before hoes" bs going on.
Brandeeno2245: It was a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. Had you told her you would have lost trust with your best friend.
She's just angry and you were in a position nobody should have been in. If anything your best friend is the one who fucked up here.
Upset_Toe: Yeah I really had no reason to say anything beforehand. But I never got the chance to explain that to her, and the rest is history. Really shitty situation.
And yeah, he did fuck up majorly by not considering how it would affect her. I don't blame him for cutting things off, just like I don't blame her for feeling how she feels. But I will admit what my friend did was kinda shitty.
Brandeeno2245: Just give things time and be nice if she wants your side she will ask for it.
Upset_Toe: You're right. For now I'm just letting it be and not giving a damn. I don't wanna bog myself down by worrying about it.
Brandeeno2245: Yup, that's the best you can do things will work out eventually.

1672858543 | 1672865852 | t3_103bn7k | t5_2to41 | 13 | barren_ground: Tifu and threatened a friends neighbour
First time poster sorry if the format sucks. Very long post
So I'll start off by saying I'm a big guy, 6,4 work out 3 times a week work on a building site ect.
This is a fuck up that brewed over 3 days. So on Monday I went to a mates new girlfriends flat, all is going well when the kids start playing around in the living room and about 5 minutes later music starts coming through the floor, not pounding but none the less you can hear it.
Mates girlfriend (MG from now on) instantly tenses up and goes on a bit of a rant about how her life is dictated by the neighbours pumping music, it's driving her nuts and the noise upsets her youngest kid and makes her feel vulnerable in her home. Ect ect. Now this instantly lights a fire under my ass, I feel for this woman, she's up here a single mum being intimidated by some guy who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. I'm seeing red at this point.
So I tell MG that I'll have a word with him, but not now as I'm about 5 cans in and I'll just knock out whoever answers the door.
Tuesday comes and I've got work so I put it off, Wednesday comes and the boss let's me know work is rained off so I have time.
The block door is broken so anyone can just walk in, so I go straight up to the neighbours door and as expected i can hear music from under the door,
I use my go to hard man knock for effect. I wait about half a minute and knock again followed by a I know you're in there pussy boy.
Less than 10 seconds later the door is answered by a chest height girl in big glasses.
'Go get your fuckin dad' she blinks blankly at my for a second
'Go.get.your.fuckin.dad' she stares blankly again before looking at me like an idiot and saying that it's her flat what can she do for me.
My finger is in her face 'turn the music off'
She invites me in
'Turn it off or I'll smack you one'
Now this really surprised me, she stepped back from the door, opened it up and said, I won't turn down shit until you come in here have a cup of tea and treat me like a person.
So I follow her in a bit confused but still pretty annoyed. She closes the door, pulls her phone from her pocket and switches the music off.
I follow her down her hallway to ceiling shaking thumps and bangs and the scraping of furniture across what must be MG's floor. I sit in her living room while she makes me a cup of tea and I'm mortified as I can hear mgs kids screaming, banging around and swearing like they're in the room. I really can't describe the noise, I've lived in flats before and this really was exceptional.
She returns with the tea and I must be looking as embrassed as I feel. I begin to apologise, she cuts me off and says that a bit of music makes the noise tolerable, but what she can't fix with a stereo is mgs teenager puking over the balcony, and that she has a ring door bell and external cameras because of the crime mgs family brought to the block and she's delighted to let me know that she'll be calling the landlord over this.
I call my mate to basically confront him with the fact he just made me look like a massive cunt, and he goes on a rant about how mg already has 2 warnings from the council and if the neighbour complains she'll be homeless and all I had to do was put the scare on the neighbour.
TL;DR tifu by getting my mates girlfriend evicted and ill potentially be getting a visit from the police for threatening the neighbour
3r1c_w4n9: > I'm seeing red at this point.
What the hell
barren_ground: I thought she was a woman made to feel vulnerable in her own home and I'm not okay with that
3r1c_w4n9: That's fine but who the hell actually sees red
seeingeyegod: Its an expression

1674762318 | 1674791405 | t3_10m0kt8 | t5_2to41 | 5 | Dogboy2709: TIFU By giving money to scammers
(sorry for the format, on mobile)
context: I work in retail, this story happen in the parking lot of the store, and my car is in pretty bad shape.
I arrive at work 1 minute before im due to clock in at work. this car comes up to be noticing how bad my headlights are. these people offer to clean them. I try telling them that i did not have time for it, but these two wont take no for an answer, and cleaned the headlights.
i didnt want to leave my car unattened with thess strangers, and they wanted about $400 for just the headlights, so heres where the fuckup is: I gave them $100. but even that didnt get them to leave.
I wasnt thinking straight at the time and had to clock in, so i went to clock in and got LP to get rid of these people.
Later, from LP i was told i shouldnt have given money to these people and that they were from Georgia.
I wasnt thinking straight at the time
TL:DR - Late for work, strangers come clean part of my car without my apporval, gave them money and later learned they were scammers
Pukefeast: That sucks man, sorry to hear that, sounds like you got intimidated and somewhat robbed, try not to feel ashamed about it, it's not your fault. Same thing happened to me when I was on a school trip to new york city. Feels bad, but you just gotta try to forget about it and move on, and try to be more resilient next time (even though it's not easy when being intimidated)
AcrobaticSource3: What happened t you in New York?
A similar less expensive thing happened to me in Chicago, som who else’s asshole kept following me around wanting to shine my shoes. (Also? I was wearing sneakers.) All of a sudden he swoops in front of me with his head inches from my feet and unless I moonwalk away, I’m going to end up initiating contact. Then squirts my sneakers with his soap water and wipes them then says “$12 per shoe and I’d appreciate the tip!” I was young and stupid and intimidated so I gave him lie $25 and then walked away as fast as I could. I fucking hated myself for weeks. I know this is an overreaction, but I hate getting taken advantage of, and I had always told myself to be careful spotting scams and yet I fell for it
Pukefeast: Frig thats rough. I went through a very similar thing. I was walking down the street and got separated from my group of friends and suddenly three grown men (I was like 15 at the time) walk up close and kept telling me to buy their cd (shitty mix tape they made). They shoved it into my hand and were like now that you have it you have to buy it. Idk if it was $20 or $40 I gave them but ya I felt shame about it and for a few years was a memory that kinda stung you know. Super similar experience to yours.

1674768282 | 1674788201 | t3_10m2yjz | t5_2to41 | 18 | Cent3rCreat10n: Tifu by feeding my vegetarian gf gravy
A bit of context: my gf (25F) has been a vegetarian since she was 16, have not touched any meat for the past 9 years or so.
Now the Tifu happened when we decided to grab some kfc for a quick brunch before we head off to a waterpark. We grabbedsome gravy and mash (the latter she didn't really enjoy), some mini loafs for herself and I get to eat some chicken and fries. Now, in retrospective I should've obviously figured out that kfc gravy contains chicken fat, but somehow that completely missed me and i assured her there's no meat in it. We happily gobbled down and went on our merry way.
Que 10 hours later, my gf vomited all her dinner out, I'm freaking the fuck out and feeling absolutely guilty while covering her stomache with some soaked warm towels to make her feel better.
Tl;dr fed my vegetarian for 9 years gf grav from kfc, she got food poisoning
Bruce-man-Bat-wayne: Found my vegetarian daughter in law eating poutine one day and asked her what she thought gravy was made from. She shrugged and said no idea. She was very sad when I told her.
Ok_Snape: You have to research what you eat. Is she just putting anything she finds in her body? Is being a vegetarian an actually important thing for her or just a fashion statement?
Bruce-man-Bat-wayne: She's serious about it and done a bunch of research now. She's lazy af though and survives on kd and pancakes.
AllAlo0: Lots of vegetarian gravies out there

1672861397 | 1672865464 | t3_103cw5r | t5_2to41 | 61 | Rockin_freakapotamus: TIFU by talking casually to my kids about religion and death
This happened on Monday. My wife has a large extended family where everyone is basically referred to as a "cousin" because its easier than remembering second cousins and family members being "once-removed" etc. For several reasons, we aren't all that close to the family.
1. There are so many of them
2. My wife is adopted, so it isn't her biological family
3. We live a very different lifestyle than they do (most of the family operate farms)
Well, one of her many uncles (let's call him Larry) recently went into hospice care after several surgeries, each of which seemed to cause a new issue. Ultimately he determined that he just wanted to be comfortable in his last days. He was on hospice a few days then passed away.
My wife and I typically view funerals as more inconvenience than remembrance. I have jokingly told my children (8 and 11) that I am open to a viking funeral for myself. We are open with the kids about everything (within reason). We informed them of Larry's health issues, his decline, and his passing as each happened. None of us are sad about it. The kids only met him a couple of times. My wife and I see it as a relief from the pain and repeated medical procedures. To be clear, we are not grieving.
My wife and I were both raised in very religious, Christian households. More and more we have questioned the teachings of the church and have both considered ourselves agnostic/searching for answers for many years. We teach our kids about religions and explain the basic principles but we're letting them decide for themselves what they do and do not believe in.
Onto the story. My wife and I were discussing Larry's passing. We had consumed a couple of drinks and were cracking some jokes back and forth as well. At one point, my wife jokingly/mockingly said "He's with the lord now." After a couple chuckles, my son asked who the lord was, so we explained. The conversation went something like this:
Son: Who is the lord?
Me: That's another word Christians use to refer to Jesus. Remember we told you that Christians believe Jesus was the son of God?
Son: I remember you talking about that.
Daughter: How did he die?
Me: He was actually crucified.
Son: What does that mean?
Me: That's a way they used to punish people by nailing them to a cross and leaving them until they were dead.
It is rare that I can end one of my son's interrogations with so few questions/answers, but this led to a silence. I sat back thinking, "Well done. You discussed a sensitive topic with your children and handled it with grace." Then the silence was broken.
Daughter: Larry was crucified!?
This had my wife and me in tears for about 15 minutes. Here I am doing a mental parenting victory lap. Meanwhile, my daughter is picturing an elderly, ailing relative being nailed to a cross and left for dead.
After we calmed down, we were able to explain the misunderstanding and all was cleared up. But for a brief moment, my daughter thought her great-uncle was crucified. On the plus side, my wife and I now have a three-word sentence we can deliver at the drop of a hat to make the other crack up immediately. "Larry was crucified?!"
Tl;dr - Joked about death and religion with my wife. Convinced my daughter that my wife's uncle was just crucified.
Kimmm711: TBH, that's quite sad that you & your wife view funerals as more of an inconvenience than as a remembrance.
Maybe as you get older & lose people who mean more to you, you'll have more compassion.
Rockin_freakapotamus: My brother died when he was 19. I stood in a receiving line next to his coffin for 4 hours hugging crying friends and family. It was one of the worst days of my life. Why relive it every time someone dies?
Kimmm711: I'm sorry for your loss & that funerals make you relive your pain. I appreciate that big families have many occasions in which to gather - that happy ones are preferred to sad, and the sentiment that your family member is finally out of his misery. It sucks to lose someone after a long illness as much as sudden losses.
Your "inconvenience" remark just struck a nerve in me. Paying respect to the loved ones of the deceased can be very helpful in their grieving process. To think of someone coming *not out of respect*, but solely out of *duty when they'd rather be anywhere else* really bummed me out.
ETA I'm Athiest, so the remark your kid made about crucifixion was pretty funny

[deleted]
bsubtilis: Never get pets you can't afford serious surgery for, in case it for instance eats something really bad or gets into any unlikely household accident. You need to surrender the pet now ASAP while it still is young and can be trained properly and cared for well. Don't be selfish pieces of crap, the puppy is not a toy and **you must always keep its needs above your wants.** I say this as a fellow ADHD sufferer. Get a fricken animatronic puppy if you want a cute *thing* to appeal to your sense of cuteness yet won't need medical help.
Next time, get a known quantity adult or senior dog too so that high energy won't be an issue. But you still need to have the money for their medical issues.
HeckinHope: Lol. I literally just paid $900. We can afford her. And my fiancé has had very well taken care of and spoiled pups before this. But it’s been over a decade since she’s had a puppy and over 20 years since I’ve had one. Mistakes were made early, and we are training her every day and she is getting better. So calm down, negative Nancy. Or don’t. 🤷🏻♀️
BloodDancer: Posts complaint about struggles, person pointing out the struggles and how you brought them upon yourself, and how you acknowledge that you didn’t think it through enough from your own self admitted lack of foresight and he’s being the negative Nancy? Sureeee
HeckinHope: I don’t know how you respond to people calling you a piece of crap, but I don’t respond nicely. And besides, if they had actually read the post, they would have seen that we can obviously afford care. It’s not my fault people have reading comprehension problems and then want to come on a post acting like a douche. Sorry not sorry.
BloodDancer: Damn, you sound like a total asshole. No wonder you’re incapable of caring for a puppy. If someone reacts to the information you’ve told them, and perceives you in a negative light, perhaps…you’re not presenting yourself as a positive person? He never once calls you a piece of crap, but when you react like this, I can see where he got the idea from. And maybe, just maybe, if someone points out you’re being shitty (which, definitely. Getting a pet as an accessory, without preparing to properly care for it is shitty) maybe listen to them and try to understand and learn from why they’d think that, instead of immediately being a dickhead? And sure, you can pay for the dog, but I know a lot of shitty parents who had the money to pay for their kid, but sure as hell didn’t take CARE of the kid. Same thing here.
HeckinHope: You’re hilarious. You act like they gave me great tips and tricks or something. They did nothing but insult and tell me to get rid of the dog. And they heavily implied I was a piece of crap, so don’t even try to play devil’s advocate there. The implication is there. You just sound like someone who likes to argue with people on the internet. I don’t see you adding anything positive to the conversation. In fact, you’re being a giant douchebag as well, with nothing to add. You are superfluous to this whole thread. But if this is what makes you happy, get your rocks off, I guess, just remember to scream my name when you do.
I posted this to admit we may be in over our heads, because I know a lot of people feel that way when they get a puppy. But we love her and are training her to be a good companion. You must have missed all that while reading. Ultimately, I was hoping to get some dog lovers in here who had tips or maybe some funny stories to empathize, but instead I get you lol. Gotta love the internet. Bet you’re the type who watches cute kitten videos and then goes to the comments to tell the person their abusing their cat. You are unnecessary.
BloodDancer: Posts complaint about his fuckups. Expected people to what…not comment on what you exactly posted? Which was your multiple errors? Did you think we’d congratulate you on it? This is a life you’re caring for, hearing that a PUPPY has swallowed more things already than my 8 year old golden has in her entire life is SCARY. Any of those three things you mentioned her getting into could’ve killed her. That’s why you’re a shit owner. And yes, we’ve done nothing but insult you and tell you to get rid of the dog. Give you a couple minutes, think on why that might be…oh right, your post about how you’ve severely fucked up taking care of her already and it’s barely been a couple months! Also, why would you buy a dog without a recent lab test? Dog had more diseases than the Congo
HeckinHope: I’ve never had a problem with any of the pets I’ve had and they’ve all died from either old age or medical conditions like cancer. You being a helicopter dog parent on a forum means nothing. You just came here to be an asshole. You can admit that. It’s okay to admit you’re a blithering asshole with nothing to add to a conversation. You do you, boo-boo. We made one mistake, and we fixed it. I feel really bad for the people in your life who have to interact with you on a daily basis. You seem like the type who thinks their shit don’t stink. Here to tell you, you are not perfect and pretending to be perfect on the internet is really pathetic. I’m the first to admit my fault and deal with it. Like this post. Sounds like you just blame others for your problems. Grow up, and get a hobby.
BloodDancer: You made four mistakes in a row, costing you nearly a grand in vet fees. I hope the next mistake doesn’t cost you her life.
HeckinHope: Actually it was one mistake that cost us. Not only money, but sleep, and worry. And we paid to take care of her and we’ve been watching her like a hawk now. She’s getting treated for the worms she had before we got her and she’s turning out to be a great dog, if a bit of a knucklehead. So go on about your life and calm the fuck down. I’m sure you’ve never made a mistake in your life, right? At least I admit mine. Sorry, you haven’t figured out how to own up to yours yet, but maybe you’ll grow up someday and realize that shit happens. That’s why they’re called accidents. We’ve had for like 3 weeks now and she’s perfectly fine. I imagine you just come on this forum to try and make yourself feel superior. Go get a snack and pat yourself on the back some more. Just be careful you don’t knock yourself over. Nevermind, I hope you do 😆
BloodDancer: Nickel (1) Nail (2) Tape (3) Weed dust (4)
Forgetting to puppyproof your backyard isn’t a mistake, it’s negligence. Especially after she already found something there once, or she got all 3 at the same time in there, which is arguably worse. Hope you’d be better at counting than cleaning, should’ve expected to be disappointed
HeckinHope: I just took her out for a walk, told her to think about you while she pooped. Told her she was a good girl. Then I gathered you up in a bag and tossed you in the trash. Goodbye to bad rubbish. I would never wish ill on your dog, so I’m just going to say, wait till an accident happens to someone you care about, then post on here so we can drag you. Oh, wait, you don’t admit your numerous mistakes. But you remember them, even if you don’t admit them. Hope the memories hurt. And then I hope you remember me. Maybe you won’t be so quick to judge next time. Stay safe. Wouldn’t want to bruise your ego.

1672864677 | 1672943992 | t3_103eazx | t5_2to41 | 8 | flumpawumpa: TIFU by eating pistachios awfully
Let me start this by saying that I have never been a big fan of nuts. So, I have never really had them in my house or around me for extended periods of time. However, I recently went round a friend’s house to celebrate a birthday. In typical meet-up fashion, there were a variety of nuts and crisps out in the form of ‘nibbles’ before we ate.
This is where the FU happened. I was watching everyone eat and one of my friends asked why I wasn’t eating. I explained, and he insisted that I try a pistachio- something I knew I didn’t like because of their sharp and bland taste (this should’ve been a sign). But, I resigned to try one as everyone began ganging up on me around the lounge. So, I popped one into my mouth as I had seen people do many times before (unbeknownst to me, they were taking the shell off). It should be obvious now, but I bit down on the shell and swallowed the pistachio- telling my friends that I still did not like it. Their shocked faces stared back at me, and I felt confused about what I had done wrong.
5 minutes later, I was beyond embarrassed and at the mercy of my friend’s laughter. So today, my fellow Redditors, I FU by never learning how to pop the shells of pistachios, and consequently embarrassing myself at my friends’s birthday.
TL;DR
I thought eating pistachios with the shells on was normal, due to my aversion to nuts. In doing so, I embarrassed myself in front of my friends.
ChaiHai: As a pistachio lover, oh no! That sounds terrible, haha.
How do you feel about the actual nut without the shell? :P
flumpawumpa: Not as bad as I thought!
ChaiHai: Haha! :P I'm glad.
As a kid I used to eat sunflower seeds shell and all. I still don't see the point in deshelling for such a small thing, but to each their own!

Sooo this literally just happened. A couple weeks back I got a little intoxicated and ordered myself a newer model Womanizer. Ladies, if you don't have one, do yourself a favor. Now most sites automatically populate my address and information with my Google account. This one didn't for some reason, this is where the fuck up happened. I had received an email yesterday saying it was delivered but FedEx sometimes drops off at USPS here. So when the mail came today and I didn't receive my package I immediately panicked. Digging through tracking information and proof of delivery documents I found my mistake. The address was wrong! It was just a couple blocks away but what does it mean "delivered to a receptionist"? A quick Google search and I felt my soul leave my body. It was the fucking Baptist Church two blocks away. Thank god for discreet packaging and the fact they didn't open it 💀. I just got back from retrieving it and I don't think I'm in the mood to try it out. I've had enough excitement for one day.
Tldr: drunkenly ordered a sex toy, typed in my address wrong, and had to shamefully show my face at the church it was delivered to. If hell is real I'm definitely going there.
wildadragon: No real fuck up if no one knows. Like saying I fucked up but no one knows I fucked up so did I really fuck up?.
Well with your new sex toy you can fuck up, down, side to side, etc.

​
I moved in at the end of June 2020. I had been living in my car for a few months so at the time all I had was an air mattress, my computer and a car full of shit I took with me from Arkansas. It was hot though so I texted the new landlord how to get the AC turned on, I was fiddling with the thermostat but nothing happened. He told me there was no air conditioning. So I just assumed there was no heating also.
So summers sucked but winters weren't super bad. I was told today that I have some manner of floor heating vent in my kitchen. I was long aware of the heat coming from that wall but my stupid ass thought it was the pipes taking hot water to the sink, and I sure as hell had no idea that was what was heating my entire house. I thought it was because of the fact that all the hot water heaters for the building are directly below me.
Well today the repair man knocked on my door. Apparently the heat went out for the entire building and he asked me how my heater was doing. I told him I don't have any heat in my unit.
He looked around in the kitchen and said "Yeah you do, right there."
It sure would have been nice to know this. This winter hasn't been bad but there were a couple of times last year and the year before when I froze my ASS. I had to sleep with a hot water bottle under my blanket or turn on that electricity guzzling space heater because I never fucking knew I had the option of turning the heat up. It didn't work for air-conditioning and in all the years since then it never even occurred to me that maybe I have a heater and not an ac.
​
TL:DR By freezing my ass in Michigan, not knowing I could have turned the heater on, and looking like a dumbass to the repair guy.
​
\*\*Edit: Heater, not freezer
Colour_me_in_: Bahaha I don't think it'd be legal to rent an apartment out to someone without heating in Michigan.
PlotHole2017: It's a lot different from Arkansas. Landlords back there can do pretty much whatever they want
thetopher95: heat is more common than AC. especially in older buildings up north :)
VocalMagic: As Floridaman, the fact that heating isn't just your AC running in reverse is wild to me...
Colour_me_in_: Wisconsinite here - I've lived in several apartments & houses that have heat but no AC, it's pretty common. Do they have laws in Florida about the electric company turning off the power for non-payment? Here they legally can't between like November and April or something like that.
ogredaemon: Most of Florida does not have any exception. Power Co can kill your power for non-payment anytime of the year…Lakeland Electric will kill your power 3days after you’ve paid, admit it’s their mistake, then charge you a reconnect fee.

My birthday was last week and I got extremely drunk to the point I blacked out. I have no memory of the event, but did find out through various people that I made out with two guys:
1. SM (who I am not into, but who is into me)
2. SG (who was a friend of a friend that I had invited. I had just met SG that day, but I was very much into him.)
According to my friends, I made out with SG first and he responded very positively. Then five seconds later, I started calling for SM and made out with him like a lot. Like a lot a lot to the point that SG went and and just hung out with my other guy friend for the rest of the night.
I’ve apologized profusely to both SG and SM. SM wants to go on a date. SG won’t even talk to me or reach out (I passed my number along). Now I’m sitting here feeling like a tool.
TL;DR: Got black out drunk and made out with two different guys on my birthday. One I was super into and the other I was not. Ended up spending more time with the one I was not into and he now wants a date. The one that I was into won’t contact me or respond. It’s been 6 days.
KrankySilverFox: I hope you don’t make a habit of getting black out drunk. You can really screw up your life. Losing the one you wanted may be a harsh consequence.
AITA-grandpa: No, I don’t typically get black out drunk. I normally stop at 2, and I don’t usually drink that much, but it was my birthday so I was celebrating and lost track.
KrankySilverFox: Do think that maybe you got roofied? Did you have a super mega headache later?
AITA-grandpa: No, I think it was just me being an idiot and having too much. I’m getting inconsistent stories from friends that were there though.
One is telling me that SM and I kissed first. Then SG kissed me. The other is telling me it was the opposite. I heard the SG story first so that was what I posted. But now I’m not exactly sure.
Either way, I learned my lesson for sure.
KrankySilverFox: Hope it works out ok 😂🥰

TIFU by not arranging a yugioh trade in person
This was actually back in 2018 but anyway.
So I was trying to trade some yugioh cards over Facebook and found someone interested in my area and we both agreed on the cards we were trading and the time and place. We agreed to meet at the home of the other person after I was done work. I realised how stupid this was only as I walked up to there front door. The thought entered my mind "I am going into a strangers home and no one knows I am doing this". I ring the door bell and hope in my mind nothing shady is about to happen.
I am shocked as the person that answers the door is a child. I am 22 at the time by the way. The Kid says "Bet you weren't expecting a 12 year old were you?"
I laugh nervously and say "Yea not really." I go in and we commence the exchange and the whole time I am thinking that I need to just get this trade over with before one of there parents gets home or I am going to get arrested.
We finish are exchange and I say my good byes and as I walk out I think I am in the clear. Then I see a car tool up in the driveway. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Mom is home and is very understandably angry and confused as to why an unknown 20 year old is exiting her home when her kid is home alone.
I try to explain the situation but she cuts me off mid way demanding I leave immediately. I do as instructed as fast as possible.
I think both me and that kid were thought a lesson on the potentioal dangers of meeting up with strangers from the internet that day
TLDR: Me 22 arranged to trade yugioh cards with strangers on internet. Went to there house. Turned out to be a 12 year old. Mom came home and was not impressed
harlojones: Why did you go in lol, are you okay in the head, couldn’t you trade outside his door
PokeChampMarx: I am really stupid
harlojones: Don’t do that again man! You got lucky. That does look very sus.

1673627427 | 1674846197 | t3_10ayrdr | t5_2to41 | 25 | MrClarinetNerd: TIFU by running over my dog
For some context, I have 2 dogs, a Cockapoo and a Blue/Red Heeler mix. The Heeler loves to chase cars and does so no matter what. The vehicle I drive daily to school is an old 01 GMC Sierra that my dad lets me drive, and we have a mailbox right beside our furthest South driveway. Now that some info is said, onto the fuck up.
Today was a normal day for me, I woke up, got my stuff for school ready, and went out to my truck. I backed out of my driveway onto the street. This is where I went wrong. I started driving down the street, and my dog was chasing me. He then goes in front of me and I think he would get out from in front of me like he normally does. That wasn't the case this morning. As I went past my mailbox, I felt the front right tire go up, and I instantly realized what had happened. In my mind, and aloud, I went "Shit I just ran over my dog." After this happened, I instantly pulled to as far to the side as I could and got out to go to where my dog went and instantly called my mom and dad. My mom didn't pick up, and my dad said he'd try to get off work and call our neighbor(they were friends and very helpful) to see if he would come over and help me get my dog to the animal hospital we have down the road from us. When my dad called me back, I was still sitting by my dog and comforting him while I was shaking and crying, telling him I was sorry and didn't mean to. That's when my neighbor came over and my dog started to run off in the woods(I live in the country), and I followed. He went off into the woods far enough to where I couldn't see him, and I went back, and my neighbor tried to help me calm down. As of now, he hasn't been found, and I am at school writing this 2 hours since it happened.
TL;DR - I was going to school and ran over my dog. I was trying to to him, and he ran off and hasn't been found so far
I will update if things happen
Update 1: As of now, 7 and a half hours since the events, he is not home. We are still hoping he comes back and is safe. We have looked for him, but since the woods are thick around our house, we can't go far in. All we know is that he is scared, and he is out there somewhere.
Update 2: HE CAME HOME! I'm currently at a pep band game and just got a text from my my notifying me he was at home. He's obviously injured, but my parents are figuring out where they're gonna go with him right now. I'll keep this updated.
Update 3: We are taking him to the vet at 9:30 CT in the morning. He's bruised up at the groin area, but my dad doesn't think it's life threatening. He's hopefully gonna be just fine, but there's no telling until the vet verifies or denies this. We're just glad to have him home. I'll update this tomorrow when I get the chance
Update 4: We just got home from the vet, and he's in fairly good condition. He does have a good bit of roadrash and a hematoma, but other than that, he's fine as of now. He's just lying in his cage and resting currently. Thankfully, he'll more than likely be fine in the end.
Update 5: After update 4 happened, I kinda went dark, but here's another update for people still/now reading this: My dog is fine, but he is still in the process of healing. He still has some swelling and red from the incident, but other than that, he is just fine. We've been keeping watch over him, and he has been doing great, even going up some stairs a few days after the incident. I will probably not update this post again since he is fine, and I don't really see much of a reason to make updates anymore. This is a goodbye to this post, and I'll probably forget about it anyway. To anyone reading this, have a good day and just smile. It helps, even if something is happening in life.
KnownSurprise8682: These things do happen. My parents owned a Boston Terrier named Bourbon. When my dad would run errands in their older truck, Bourbon would always go with him. He loved going for rides and my dad spoiled him.
One day my brother was using the truck to go to a friend's house. As he was pulling out of the gate, Bourbon ran in front of the truck and my brother hit him. Bourbon ran straight to our garage. My parents checked him and he seemed fine and told my brother to go ahead and go to his friend's house.
A bit later, Bourbon passed and since my parents were going out for an appointment, my mom called the friend's mother and told her and asked her to tell my brother. About 20 minutes after my parents left, my brother came home and went right to his room.
This was in the early 80's and we lived in a rural area and most vets didn't have late hours. My parents had planned on taking Bourbon to the vet the next day, but he did not survive that long.
Since your family were able to get your dog to the vet quickly, he will take time to heal, but heal he will. I will be saying prayers for you and your dog.
MrClarinetNerd: Thanks. He's healed up a good bit, but he still needs some time because he is still swollen and red, but he is up and roaming now. Heh, today is the first day we are actually letting him be outside since he's been inside and resting every day since the incident.

1672870831 | 1672875880 | t3_103gzad | t5_2to41 | 219 | north_atlantic_moose: TIFU by not realizing when school vacation ended
Last night, my wife and I were both looking forward to having the kids back in school again today. We made a bunch of no-kids plans, and talked about how happy we'd be to check things off our lists and start getting back into the post-holidays rhythm. We love our kids very much, but it's nice to have non-kids time as well, and we both have work we really needed to get started on.
This morning, I got the kids going with breakfast on time while my wife slept in. I talked with the kids about what they'd be looking forward to at school today, which friends they'd most like to see again, etc. After breakfast, they had a little time to play before I walked them over to their school.
There, we found the parking lot completely empty and all the school lights off. Turns out, school doesn't actually start until tomorrow. Standing there in the parking lot, I looked at my calendar on my phone and found that I even had the right day written down, I just hadn't looked at my calendar for quite a while across the holidays. Normally, I'm absolutely on top of my schedule, but last night and today were just total mistaken confidence. As we were sorting things out, one other confused family pulled up and the other dad and I laughed about our parallel fuck-ups.
Back home, I crept into our bedroom and quietly told my sleeping wife, "I need to talk with you, there's been a change of plans." She jerked awake startled and incoherent, afraid that something had happened to another of our relatives (2022 was rough), but after a little bit I managed to communicate what was going on, and promised I'd take the kids so she could keep on sleeping in.
I'd been planning to work out at home after dropping off the kids, and they like to hang out for that sometimes, so I still got to do that, but it did mean I couldn't watch the show I'd been intending to while working out, and needed to watch one of theirs instead. Then we went out for a special family day on the town. We walked in a nearby park, went to the library (it has a great children's room), and went to the swimming pool. The kids brought the lunches we'd packed for school and snacked on them, and then we met my wife for a late lunch in one of our favorite restaurants.
So, a good silver lining in the form of a nice day with the kids, but I still fucked up and didn't get to do almost any of the things I'd planned today.
TL;DR: My kids school didn't actually start today, so I had a nice family outing, but didn't get to do anything I'd planned.
antonylockhart: Kids probably enjoyed the little bonus of a celebratory last day with the parents before school went back. Might as well make it a new tradition
north_atlantic_moose: They totally did enjoy it. My older kid especially, who basically immediately suggested we do a special all-family day with the unexpected time. I hadn't thought of making it a tradition, but I like that suggestion - thank you!
Pristine_Arm2785: Ha my first thought you just started a new tradition 😉

1672873718 | 1672878238 | t3_103i83r | t5_2to41 | 28 | Y3ll0wUmbrella: TIFU by kissing a friend with no intentions of getting involved, but it turned out that the girl was in love with me for 3 years
I (21M) was dumped by my gf who told me that she liked other guy. After that I was a mess (I still am) because I gave everything I had to that relationship and it was an extremely toxic one. All my friends told me that I should start enjoying life (more doing, less thinking) because I was always very serious with girls (thinking about building a family, marrying and so on - part of a culture where I was grown) and that the twenties is the age of many mistakes that you have to make to learn.
So, I was sitting with my really good friend (21F) and I wanted to kiss her, so I asked her if I could, she said yes and I did it — without thinking about any consequences. We were kissing and at some point I felt really guilty (I started thinking that maybe she didn't see it as casual as I do), so I stopped to talk everything over. It turned out that she loved me for three years and I'm first guy she ever kissed and truly loved. I was shocked. Because I don't love her (though I really appreciate her as a friend) — I think that we are not compatible and ... well, I just don't like her, I can't explain it — I don't see us together. I kissed her just because she was beautiful and I wanted something beautiful in my life at that moment, I was very tired of all the shit that happened. I tried to explain to her that I just broke up and I'm not ready for a relationship. Then I really fucked up because even after that talk I continued kissing her just because I wanted it. I am an asshole, I know. For the record, she didn't mind, I asked her several times, but I still feel awful. By the way, we didn't hook up, just second base.
After that, we talked again. I said that I'm in a really shitty place right now, I'm depressed and I cannot get involved, I just broke up and, in a nutshell, it would be a bad idea; maybe later, "let's see how life will work it out". She said that she understood but she was afraid that I just used her. I know that I should have honestly said that I didn't like her (so that I didn't keep her on a hook) but I just couldn't do that to her, she is a very nice girl, very nice and I didn't want to break her heart.
That should be it.
I know this isn't an 'advice sub', everyone just want to laugh and cringe about someone else fucking up, but I would be very grateful for any advice.
Btw, not a native speaker, sorry for any grammar mistakes.
TL;DR I kissed a girl who I didn't like just because I wanted it, it turned out that she was in love with me for a long time and I was the first guy she ever kissed. I'm afraid I broke her heart.
MisterJ3st3r: You should be upfront with her, you say you don't want to break her heart but at this rate you're just going to break her heart down the line as, by your own admission, have no intention of viewing her that way.
Y3ll0wUmbrella: You are right. I'll talk to her tomorrow and I'll be honest. I'll try to be as respectful to her feelings as I can. I just hope it all wouldn't sound as a cliché to her.
Is there maybe any buildup to that conversation that I should make so it won't be so harsh? I know that I can't ask someone to write a speech for me, but maybe some advice if you by any chance have any experience. I really care about that girl's feelings (yes, I should have thought of that before kissing her, I'm dumb), that's the only reason I ask.
MisterJ3st3r: I'm not sure I can list everything but i'd just advise you to make sure you apologise, she might not even expect one but like you said, you feel like an asshole for it. You're allowed to tell her what you were trying to do when you said what you did. I'm a believer in that intentions matter.
I'd also say, allow her, her feelings. I'll be honest and say when I read how you kissed her again afterwards, I would feel the same.
I understand where you might be at right now, you're more than likely rebounding. You slipped up but I'm sure you can learn from it.
She may want distance, she might not, allow her what she needs as friends to help go forwards, especially if you want to save the friendship.
Fingers crossed this can be some closure for her too, for her to move on from her feelings for you. Speaking as someone who has had massive crushes on female friends initially that have just calmed into a healthy platonic friendship.
Y3ll0wUmbrella: I can't stress enough how grateful I am - thank you for your advice.
I'll do everything I can to correct my mistake and, yes, it'll be a lesson for me.

1674778361 | 1674802696 | t3_10m6w5a | t5_2to41 | 12 | Level_Society_391: TIFU by invalidating my friend’s feelings regarding his family issues
My friend has had problems with his family since he was 14 (we are now both 17)
It was mainly because he got into dating and his parents are the conservative type, his parents did get aggressive at one point because he was talking back which absolutely doesn’t justify it.
He recently mentioned that they are becoming more open minded and his father especially because less rough round the edges
But he was talking about how despite the change they don’t ever deserve a second chance which I wholeheartedly disagree with but I will support my friend if that is his choice because everyone goes about their healing journey differently.
So today he was venting about his parents weren’t there for him when he lost his grandparents and just his cousins were always present to which I replied “they were grieving too, they tried occasionally but they also needed space”
And they he vented about how his father was so controlling but he kind of changed when the younger siblings came along yet my friend can’t stand him.
I told him that building a better relationship takes two and if you dad isn’t trying to meet you in the middle then don’t bother with him, he said that his father does reach out but it’s rare. So I was like yeah then this could be promising. My friend then went on to say that he doesn’t deserve a second chance even though he changed and I can’t stand the idea of having to live with him all time (when his dad retires and stops working abroad which is next year)
I told him “you gave second chances like crazy for your ex but your own parents who came a long way from how they were don’t even deserve half the amount of chances”
I hate myself for saying this because relationships with parents are confusing and I don’t even know the full FULL story I only know the shit he tells me.
For some reason my go to internal response when he vents about his parents is that he isn’t telling the whole story and just over-demonising his parent.
I wish I could stop this because even though I promised myself to never say anything outloud that could make him feel small and that he is overreacting I still ended up doing it.
TL;DR Told my friend he should give his shitty parents a second chance even though I know family issues are complex and I can’t be a good judge of his situation.
RaptorFamilyValues: Tell him all this. It will make both of you feel better.
You're right: you're probably not getting the full story, one way or the other- it might be worse than he's let on, it might be better.
I can tell you from years of being on the other side: it absolutely sucks to think (know?) your parents don't love you like a parent should love their child. My only solace during my childhood/teenaged years were my friends. Having love and support- even if they didn't understand what was going on- made a world of difference to me.
Growth as a human is forever. The second you think you're infallible is the second you stop getting better. I'm 35 and I still fuck up, say the wrong things, make decisions I regret later. But I've found that owning up to my missteps actually *strengthens* my relationships- people know I'll apologize if I say something in the wrong way or the wrong time, so I get more slack when I'm having a bad day and grumpy.
Your friend might be going through some things right now- internally, externally, or both. You don't need to offer suggestions or feedback if you don't want to (for whatever reason) just being there for him will go a long, long way.
You made a mistake. That's 100% human. Try to fix it and I'm sure you'll be just fine.
Level_Society_391: I will do that, thank you.
I really hope it is better than he makes it to be because I really don’t want him hurting all his life over this.
I will be there for him no matter what though
There are two questions I kinda one ask since you kind of understand the situation.
Did your relationship with your parents become better at one point like where y’all able to meet in the middle somewhere?
Also a lot of people say they were harsh on their parents as teenagers, do you think my friend could one day grow up and realize that too? Like did you at one point realize that they did love you but they just don’t understand proper parenting?
RaptorFamilyValues: In my particular situation, I actually stuck around and tried too long to repair my relationship with my father specifically (he controls my mother, so if I'm not in his good graces, my mother isn't allowed to speak to me) He did a lot of damage to me in my childhood...And honestly, some significant damage in my adulthood too, and it wasn't until I cut him out of my life that I could begin to work on myself. I'm much, much better off without him in my life- I wish it didn't take me until I was 30 to realize it, but it is what it is.
I do know some people who had very strained relationships with their parents that got remarkably better as they entered adulthood- parents are fallible just like anyone else, and they can make well-meaning mistakes with their kids that put a damper on any day-to-day interactions.
Personally, I'd wait to see how your friend's family reacts to him being distant/gone; a well-meaning parent may be confused, but will try to keep the lines of communication open and not be too harsh on someone they love. A parent that's more into themselves will widen that gap with blame, manipulation, or shallow bribes. (Look up "love-bombing" if you're really looking to keep an eye out for red flags on behalf of your friend)
I wish I could be more helpful on the positive side of things- unfortunately, my personal history is on the "worst case scenario" end of the spectrum. *BUT* I have seen relationships repaired over time, so I know it's totally possible. This can end up just being a really rough patch in your friend's life, and things might start to bounce back at some point.
I think he's already got a pretty awesome friend in his corner with you, so he's already a step ahead in that aspect.
Level_Society_391: I really hope things work out in the most healing way for him.
And his father tried to stop him from talking to his mother on two occasions when my friend got “mouthy” and you mentioning it reminded me of him and hearing that cutting off was the best for you makes me want to outright suggest it because I really want my friend to be able to live a fulfilling life without his family issues always being on the back burner dampening his life.
But I will just wait it out, i guess it’s his journey not mine and we all can find peace in something sooner or later right?
I really hope I live up to being a good friend as you mentioned lol
But seriously thank you
RaptorFamilyValues: You guys got this! I have faith in y'all.

1672875836 | 1672969983 | t3_103j446 | t5_2to41 | 85 | TheSiege82: TIFU by accidentally discharging my $2500 medical humira pen onto the carpet.
TIFU by accidentally discharging my $2500 medical humira pen onto the carpet.
I was getting ready to self inject my humira pen in my thigh and got distracted thinking someone might walk into my kitchen and see my pants down and didn’t realize I had the button of the pen against my leg while feeling out a good spot to inject.
Too much pressure was applied and .40ml of auto immune fighting medication was shot into the carpet and my pen was completely wasted.
These pens are similar to epi pens. You press it against your thigh or stomach and just press the top and a 23g needle shoots out and injects you.
These pens are $2500 each and I have to take them twice a month. They are a specialty drug that has to be shipped overnight in a refrigerated carton. In four years this is the first time I have done this. Also, fuck big pharma. This was the second most profitable drug last year at 21 billion dollars.
TL;DR accidentally discharged $2500 auto injecting pen onto the carpet.
maciver6969: If you are lower income look up the abbievie (something like that)assistance program. I get mine for the price of the overnight shipping. 6 shots shipped overnight for my location is $34
I have really bad RA so it is a must for me too. Maybe this will help you save some $$$
TheSiege82: Yeah I have their copay card, and it’s 5 bucks a month. They also have a total rebate plan when your copay assist card runs out, you pay the remainder that your insurance doesn’t cover and they direct deposit your portion once a receipt is submitted.
It’s just a pain in the ass to get an extra pen when stuff like this happens.
eddiepaperhands: “Fuck Big Pharma for spending billions of dollars creating a miracle drug and giving it to me for $5/month. Bastards.”
TheSiege82: My insurance pays 3500 or so for it. Who do you think pays for that? Me, my employer, the government, you. We are still paying for it one way or another. Wether it’s $5 copay, 800 insurance premiums, wages going to to health insurance instead of on the check, or taxes.
eddiepaperhands: And if we went single payer, we would still be paying for it via taxes.
We pay for it because it’s incredibly valuable, and because big pharma spends billions creating these miracle drugs in order to profit.
Take away the potential for gigantic profits and the money invested in creating these drugs would get invested elsewhere, and we just wouldn’t have them.
TheSiege82: I guess we’ve found the pharma bro.
eddiepaperhands: Yes, definitely just call names rather than trying to counter what I said, since I’m right.
For what it’s worth, I don’t work in any field related to pharma.
TheSiege82: Ok cool. Humira has made about 170 billion dollars in ten years. The cost for development and research was 7.2 billion over that same time frame. So yes, having an over 2,000 percent markup on a life saving drug allows me to say fuck big pharma. Since 2018 alone they have risen the price by 30%. Fuck big pharma.
eddiepaperhands: So all the programs they spend billions on that fail to make it to market just get paid for by the pharma fairy? There are probably dozens or hundreds of failed drug development programs for every one that makes it to market.
TheSiege82: Well their balance sheet would reflect that. And guess what, in spite of all those failed programs and drugs, they made 56 billion last year in profit. Dude give it up. Big pharma is not some altruistic industry trying to make the world better. They are exploiting necessities people need to survive.
eddiepaperhands: Where did I say anything about them being altruistic? Can you just not read?
TheSiege82: I never said you called them altruistic. I mentioned it because they are the opposite of it, they are exploitive. Plain and simple
eddiepaperhands: Ok so you really can’t read.
Yes, you said I called them altruistic. Where did I call them that? I said nothing of the kind.
TheSiege82: Dude. Get over it. You’re being pedantic. The bottom line, like I said before, fuck them. They take advantage of people because of greed.
eddiepaperhands: “Stop pointing out wrong things I’m saying and just agree with me.”
No.
TheSiege82: You inferred I was saying you called them altruistic simply because I stated they weren’t. Learn reading comprehension man.
eddiepaperhands: You’re going to fucking gaslight me and pretend you didn’t edit your comment?
https://preview.redd.it/y5d2gx96bdaa1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=b173bc27e5ba5bd01d39c6aadc84f4519ba14f49
TheSiege82: I edited that, look at the comment history, you accused me of me saying you called them altruistic before that. I omitted the “never” by accident. Fuck man.
eddiepaperhands: Don’t fucking blame me because you said the opposite of what you meant. That’s on you, not me.
Yes, you implied that I was saying that big pharma was somehow altruistic. I asked where I said any such thing, to which you simply replied (apparently accidentally) affirming that you had accused me of that. To which I more strongly disagreed.
Again, that’s on you.
TheSiege82: https://preview.redd.it/d27jz5c3cdaa1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=7cfc54e2f68ddf558df45ec88ceb00f99ba00bba
Here you go bro. Let’s screenshot. Where in the fuck did I say you called them altruistic. You inferred it.
eddiepaperhands: Here’s where you said it.
https://preview.redd.it/d99e8a3acdaa1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=cdfeb0759432935cf59a83d9918d96e6a849c4d4
TheSiege82: You conveniently forgot to show where you accused me of saying that in the reply above. Which, like I said. You inferred simply because I said they weren’t.
eddiepaperhands: Nah, you implied, because you were responding to my comment.
TheSiege82: Nah, you don’t know what implied means.
TheSiege82: And to you original defense for high prices you can read [this](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2796669)

Hey r/tifu,
I don’t have a good writing skill but I’ll try my best to make it sound better. So, I currently live in the UK and I was returning from Birmingham to my flat in London, after using SWR, I changed to underground at Paddington station, then I got off at Gloucester Road Station to change subway (tube), and I was pretty confused which platform I should take next, while I was looking at the route map, I saw this tall lady standing in front of the route map, she was not blocking the view but was observing it rightly, but at that time when I was in hurry, I felt that the view was blocked, so I stood beside her to read the route map, it was still confusing to me since both the platform 2 and 3 went to upminister and back to via paddington to Victoria. I asked her about the one going through wimbledon and she said that the lines are bit confusing for her as well. I saw her face and she was cute ngl, the puffy cheek, clear skin, her kind attitude towards me and all that. I didn’t reckon her at first, I was focused on where to go so, I mentioned that I will ask the information desk about this, and I called them by pressing the ask button that dials to them. They told me where it is and I saw the tube arriving, so I quickly start running to catch it, until I learnt it was not even the correct tube (it was going towards Richmond). When the train doors closed, I saw her again walking past by in the opposite platform, and then she gave me a look, that is when it struck me. It was Tina from fantastic beasts, Daniels from Alien Covenant. I googled and found out that it was indeed her! (Katherine Waterston). Her profile showed that she was in London for the Babylon premiere. I really wish I had talked to her longer about her next project and took a selfie with her. But there I went, to a completely different destination, I, then changed the tube after realising I was in the wrong tube.
TL;DR met Katherine Waterston, had a conversation without knowing that it was her
Cyneganders: Once had this with a fairly big celebrity in my home country. We got struck by Lufthansa and she ended up next to me on the final stretch. We were discussing culture and art, and she went "Oh yes, the Queen told me about those" in response to an exhibition I had gone to, and my brain skipped a beat before I kept up the conversation.
Bike_Chain_96: Was it Tahani Al-Jamil?
Cyneganders: I had never heard of your person, so no. Also, I'm Norwegian, and we also have a royal house (though they are less hands-on than the English). Mine was Ellen Arnstad, a journalist/editor/etc.
PussyStapler: That was a reference to a character on the Good Place. Her running gag is how she name drops celebrities in casual conversation, like your celebrity did.
Cyneganders: I actually saw an episode or two of that, should probably catch some more.
bros402: go binge The Good Place, the show finished (and it had a good finale)
Cyneganders: If I have time to watch anything substantial again, I might.
I saw Kirsten Bell and Ted Danson, and figured it'd be worth a punt.
bros402: do iiiit

dragonfeet1: Your sister is a dick but also if you can get a job, and you're collecting SSI, that's kind of illegal. At least in my state.
Shoveler294: Yeah so I can’t get a job atm. Otherwise they stop sending money to my parents
Noclue42AW: They are saying if you are physically capable of having a job and aren’t just to collect the SSI, that’s fraud

1672878206 | 1672918461 | t3_103k2u0 | t5_2to41 | 635 | TooAnonToQuit: TIFU by killing a long-awaited hiring list.
So this happened a couple of days ago, but I just got a call about it today.
My place of work is large bureaucratic and filled to the brim with red tape. It has had an empty position for a long long time. They rewrote the job description and posted the job. It's a step up for me, so a couple of co-workers and I all applied. They took the posting down, reworked the position description again, and reposted it. Most of us applied again.
A couple of days ago, I had an interview for this position.... With my current boss..., whose main duties are HR. I'm told I have to do a phone interview just like all the outside candidates. So they stick me in an empty office for privacy, call, and act like they don't know me. Weird, right? Apparently, it's standard procedure in order to keep the playing field level.
After the interview, a friend coworker (A) who didn't apply asked politely how it went. I told them it went well, but it was kinda weird that the boss pretended they didn't know me and I had to do the same. That's where I messed up.
I got a call today from the boss that I didn't get the job, and they had to run the announcement again. All because I made that offhand comment to coworker A, who then told another coworker (B), who did apply, and B was ready for the "I dont know you" act, and mentioned that they had heard about it.
Now, the integrity of even the playing field is ruined. Boss asked even higher up HR about it, and this job posting is dead. I was the one who killed it. I cost the company and my boss a lot of time and money too. I'm sure my boss is absolutely pissed at me, they are a very severe and scary person. And I've almost definitely ruined my chances of getting the job if I reapply. And we all have to wait even longer for the position to get filled.
In my defense, if this is standard practice, how is it not considered common knowledge? I talked to an outside friend of mine (a higher up in a similar field), and they said they've both gone through and given interviews like that a few times. I didn't talk about the contents of the interview at all, but apparently, the "I don't know you" act is "a part of it".
I am not looking forward to going in to work tomorrow.
TL;DR I thought it was weird my boss pretended not to know me during my interview for a higher position. Another applicant heard, and now they have to throw out the list of candidates and start the process over. I ruined my chances of ever getting hired, cost the company and my boss a lot of time and money, and I'm sure my very scary boss is completely pissed at me.
Edit: The hiring practices are so messed up because it's government. A low-level DOI agency.
Update 3 days later: So I talked with Coworker B today, for the first time since this all happened. They said they had already expected the "I don't know you act" because they had applied internally before and have been through it. Coworker B said this during their interview, that they expected this both because of coworker A and because of their previous experience. When questioned further, they mentioned again that they expected it because they've been through it before. This was all BEFORE the boss called me and told me it was my fault. I'm so mad at boss. Why would Boss tell me it was all because of what I said, when coworker B had already expected this all along? I had a panic attack about this being my fault. It's Boss's fault for not realizing Coworker B would already know from previous experience. (We are supposed to have a supervisor, that answers to Boss, it's empty currently. That person is who previously moved Coworker B up and would have done the "I don't know you" interview.)
I'm honestly going to file an HR complaint against Boss. It's not my fault Coworker B already expected this because of their previous experience. But Boss told me it was all my fault and gave me an anxiety attack.
KrystalAthena: Why didn't they just tell you that everything is confidential and don't talk to the other candidates until it's over?
You didn't know and you thought you were vague enough
TooAnonToQuit: Yeah idk. It was all so strange. And like, I know not to talk about the questions. I didn't even say a word to coworker B. I know I'm in the wrong for the offhand comment to coworker A, but everything would be fine if Coworker A didn't tell coworker B.
PSKroyer: Time to look elsewhere
TooAnonToQuit: Agreed
SirVanyel: While you're at it, let them know that not telling you that it's confidential is dumb as fuck
Fester_The_DJ_1: This whole thing smells toxic to me. I would also start looking elsewhere... someplace that treats their employees better than this.

1672879827 | 1672881599 | t3_103kpeq | t5_2to41 | 75 | Weirdest_chevy_guy: TIFU by accidentally giving my friend a bomb
So let's add some info and then to the story. I got my friend a bluetooth speaker from a store. Don't want to say the name and call them out because it's rude.
I got it for like 7$ and was like "he would love this!" And when I was off work one day I went over to his place and said "merry Christmas!" We went inside had a nice chat. Opened our gifts for each other. It was nice.
This is where the fuck up/ red flags begin. When he opens the box the battery cover immediately falls out. The box was fine on the outside but it was damaged inside. He shrugged it off saying "ah I could just hot glue this shit, everything will be fine" It wasn't gonna be fine.
We glued it, plugged it in.and half hour later tried messing around with the speaker. Being 7$ it did not sound good. But my friend loved it because it had rgb lights and looked cool. We played music for 5 min before the battery died.
Red flag No.2
when we stopped playing music, he realized it was warm. Like pretty warm. I said "uh that's not good" once again my friend shrugged it off saying "ah whatever" and left it on the charger.
We talked more and eventually I said my goodbyes, merry Christmas and happy new year. I thought to myself on the car ride home "oh man i hope i didn't give my friend a bomb for Christmas"
2 days later my buddies ringed me up laughing hysterically. I answer and say what's so fucking funny?
I kid you not this man just laughed for 30 seconds before yelling in a funny manner "YOU GAVE ME A BOMB FOR CHRISTMAS!" And kept laughing.
I was confused and this is what happened apparently. He said he had it on the charger whilst playing music. All the sudden the speaker stopped, he heard a pop and saw smoke everywhere. He grabbed that shit and chucked it out the window where it then exploded and caught fire.
Mind you, he is laughing while telling the story like it was funny. I was yelling "HOW IS THAT FUNNY? I JUST GAVE YOU A FUCKING BOMB?" And laughs even more.
He told me it was alright and I had done nothing wrong. I FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR DOING THAT. But in the end he said In a jokingly manner "have a merry fucking Christmas, next time. Tell me your bringing me a bomb" and hangs up.
So yea, TL:DR I got a speaker for a friend that turned out to be a ticking time bomb.
LiquidCyberSquid: I think you can say the name, it was pretty rude of them to sell you a bomb.
Weirdest_chevy_guy: You can thank 5 below then
treehouse_of_doom: 5 til it blows 😂

1673758138 | 1673997571 | t3_10cav3e | t5_2to41 | 236 | shohburner: TIFU by trying to bluff our top employee into compliance
I am an HR manager for a small software company. We set up benefit plans for small businesses to offer their employees. Early in 2020, when the pandemic hit we went remote. Around the same time, we needed to hire a benefits analyst. I interviewed about 20 people and gravitated towards this guy (John). He's in his early 30s, he didn't have a lot of direct experience, but he had a lot of tangential experience and transferable skills. I really liked his mindset and the way he carried himself, so I decided to take a chance on him and hired him.
Guy picked up our line of work almost immediately. He quickly became of the best analysts; he was really good at pairing different benefits together to maximize the return for our clients. They loved him, management loved him, and I was feeling pretty good about myself and I got a nice bonus. They quickly gave him a better sounding title and a pretty big pay rise. That wasn't unheard of, but it usually didn't happen this quickly.
Then the other shoe dropped. In May of 2021, after vaccines were available, we decided to bring people back to the office. Our company is mostly staffed with middle aged people who are all about the office culture, so it was a pretty popular decision. There were some complaints, but everyone agreed to come back. Except John. He flatly refused to come back. I talked to him, management talked to him, nothing. He said, I'm working from home and I'll continue doing so until you shut off my access. Management has a meeting about it, decide they can't fire him. He's too good at what he does.
It only got worse. In 2022, we weren't having the best time financially, so we changed the OT structure. It used to be 1.5 times your hourly rate, 2x if it's on weekends and 0.5% bonus on any deals concluded. We changed it to 1.5 flat. John goes from being willing and able to work all the overtime required to just a few hours of OT a month and none on weekends. He also pretty regularly stops working during business hours because of his kids. He makes up the time in the evening, but still. He lets his kids interrupt meetings and will stop paying attention to the meeting to listen to his kids. Like, on Thursday his son interrupted our meeting, and he blew us off to listen to his story about a doggie he saw.
Anyway, management is on my ass to bring John back to work. John says his family is more important than his work and besides he's still the top analyst at the company. I tell him that this can't go on and if he isn't in the office on a regular schedule, we might need to talk about his job. Literally 30 minutes later, I get his resignation email. I am fucking soiling my pants right now. If John is gone because of me, management will literally fire me, blame me and get him back. They just want to appear tough and give the pretense of having unquestioned authority. They care more about his production than him not being in the office. Worst thing is, I know he called my bluff. Email is only addressed to me. He knows we'll ask him back. Only now with concrete assurances that he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Probably a pay rise too. I might be fucked. It's either get him back and give assurances that he can whatever or get fired and he comes back anyway.
TL;DR - TIFU by trying to bluff our top employee into compliance and now might get fired
HollowHowls: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
You fucked around and found out.
Serious though, good for him.
I also hope to see that dude make a post in antiwork lol.
FoundandSearching: This was posted to antiwork this AM.
doryishness: Link? I'd love to see what he wrote!
FoundandSearching: I should clarify. This HR person’s post was re-posted to Antiwork yesterday. Apologies - I would LOVE to read “John’s” take.
doryishness: Ah, gotcha, thank you for clarifying, lol.

1673345095 | 1673392835 | t3_1086745 | t5_2to41 | 3,535 | shittyhuman12344: TIFU by trusting my girlfriend over my best friend
I (23M) broke up with my girlfriend (22F) today. My girlfriend and I had been dating for the past six months and everything was going great because she was my first serious relationship in almost 3 years. I’m usually a non-argumentative person which is why I tend to avoid any confrontations with her and try to dissolve any misunderstandings upfront.
However, a few weeks ago my best friend who i’ve known since college texted me saying that she needed to talk to me about my girlfriend. I was initially confused on why she couldn’t do it through text messages but I ended up meeting up with her just to discuss the issue. She told me that she saw my girlfriend out with another person in which I responded with skepticism. I asked her for proof in which she couldn’t provide because she was apparently “too shocked” to think about snapping a picture as evidence.
I told my best friend that I didn’t want to continue on with the topic because I couldn’t believe that my partner would do that to me as I thought I had a pretty clear grasp on her personality. She agreed and we changed the topic and ate brunch together before I decided to head back home.
I left the conversation in the back of my mind for a few weeks and didn’t think much about it and just carried on with my life. However, just yesterday when my girlfriend came over to my house to spend some quality time, I caught a glimpse of her texting another guy with the kind of smile that I thought was only reserved for me while she thought that I was still asleep.
My mind instantly flashed back to the conversation from just a few weeks ago as I began to connect the dots. It’s shameful to admit this but I practically flew into a blind rage as I confronted her on who she was texting. She was shocked as she didn’t think I was awake and my heart immediately sank as her first reaction was to hide the phone away from me.
She obviously vehemently denied that she was texting someone that “I needed to be concerned about” and that I should know that she would never do anything like that to me based on her past history of being cheated on. I softened up and told her to just show me the phone since she obviously has nothing to hide but she refused due to “privacy reasons”. This immediately set off alarm bells again as I told her to leave my room in which she did with no resistance.
We texted on and off for the whole day after that but she always ended up denying it and calling me a “paranoid freak”. However, because of my vehement pestering on just wanting to see the phone, she ultimately admitted to having relations with another guy for the past two months because I was apparently not enough for her. This broke me to the point of tears and it’s pathetic but I thought I could “sleep it off” and start again. However, I decided against my heart and ended things with her today because I knew a relationship without respect and trust would never last. I am genuinely still in so much pain and self-hatred because I feel so naïve and stupid for trusting someone who couldn’t care less about me.
TLDR; Broke up with girlfriend of 6 months because best friend’s accusations of her being a cheater ended up being true.
Lined_the_Street: If this were me I'd apologize to the best friend and attempt to forget about the cheater. If she was using such dumb excuses to hide cheating she's not worth your time or energy
Aescorvo: This is the important one. Your BF was looking out for you and you should own up to not wanting to believe them and apologize. Good friends are important.
Snyper1982: This. Friends, well real friends are always there for you. When my best friend got engaged to his first wife. I asked him “Are you sure? She is such a bitch though. But if she makes you happy that is all I care about.” He didn’t get mad though he knew where I was coming from because I always called her out on her shit and that’s why me and her didn’t get along.
If it’s a real friend no apology will be necessary because they know you and what you are going through. But you should apologize anyways and that will be that.
Necessary-Ad-4945: First wife… so it didn’t last I guess
Snyper1982: Nope. Neither did the second or third… lol
kamintar: "Where were you on that one, dipshit?"
Snyper1982: I shouldn’t have to tell him the same thing every time he gets a wild hair up his ass and gets married!! Lol.
Lined_the_Street: Sounds like he really knows how to pick'em lol Best of luck to him on his search for the right partner though!

1672881684 | 1672951421 | t3_103lfog | t5_2to41 | 3,671 | TheAcclaimedMoose: TIFU by screaming "OMG I'm ganna f'n cum" while my wife was unmuted on an important sales call with her boss
My wife and I both work from home (it's just the two of us in our household), and she just started at a new job a few months ago, and actually just received a promotion two days ago which is awesome.
Anyway, this evening she had a Zoom call with her Boss (and a client of theirs) that I completely forgot about and thought was taking place later than it did...
My wife was working in our living room with her work laptop (which she typically does) and was unmuted on a work call. Granted this meeting was outside of her typical normal working hours). I was in the other room with the door wide open and completely unaware that her work meeting had started, and after my Warzone 2 win I randomly screamed "*Oh my god I'm ganna fuckin' cum!*" at the top of my lungs for no reason at all because I am just weird and obnoxious like that and occasionally outburst in excitement while playing video games with the bros.
After hearing my wife say "*Stop, I am on a work call"* followed by a text to me stating that she was pissed and that she was unmuted during my random outburst, I quickly realized that I had f’d up and that she was on an important work call.
I quickly shut the door and I am now writing this feeling absolutely awful about what just happened because her new boss, and their client clearly heard what I had to say.
I typically don't get embarrassed very easily at all tbh, but this is completely different and was a big oof.
TL;DR My wife was on an important work sales call with her new boss after just receiving a promotion and I screamed at the top of my lungs "*Oh my god I am ganna fuckin' cum!*" while she was unmuted. Complete embarrassment.
IgotCharlieWork: Can we get an update 😂😂
TheAcclaimedMoose: Yes! All is good! I sincerely apologized and we are now watching our fav trash TV show together (Below Deck) now that she is done with her meeting.
Slow-Celebration-406: Bruh my boyfriend would be doing all the house work for a month if he did that.
quarrelsome_napkin: Entitled bitch
hauntedmilktea: Calm tf down lol. Jesus H christ, it’s just a comment on a post on TIFU. They were probably joking.

You think holding resentment for a whole month over something so trivial is more reasonable than my comment?
alpacasx: Do you need to use the calm down dildo?
quarrelsome_napkin: You’re the one that’s be hogging it all this time? Gimme!!
alpacasx: Sorry I needed it reading this because I work remote and this post is nightmare fuel to me.....
.....Might wanna wash it, first.

Not today but still embarrassed by it.
I was at a dealership getting an oil change on my truck. I got weary sitting inside so I stepped outside and started a conversation with an older gentleman who was also waiting for his vehicle.
When his car was ready, they drove around where we were and he started walking toward his car. I noticed that his license plate has a purple heart on it and as he was getting in his car I stupidly said: "Congratulations on your purple heart, I bet you deserved it". He paused for a second, looked back, and gave me the most disgusted look ever. He just said have a nice day.
That baffled me for a while. I looked up to see what a purple heart means and I got sick to my stomach. I thought it means someone did something extraordinary while serving. After discovering the fact, I recollected that he was walking with a cane and was struggling to get into his car. I thought because of his age
TLDR: Didn't know the significance of a purple heart. Compliment a guy on receiving one. I got sick to my stomach after acknowledging the meaning of it.
starfsh_tuna_breath: Got mine September 4, 2008 in Afghanistan
AgrestPL: May I ask what happened on that day?
starfsh_tuna_breath: Hit an IED. I was the F.O. for my platoon. Vincent Winston was the only one killed. Sam brown was our Platton Leader. He was burned the worst out of all of us. He ran for Senate in Nevada last year.

Obligatory this didn't happen today, it happened when my brother was around 6 and I (F32) was around 9.
Looking back this was kinda funny but at the time I was in more trouble than I'd ever been in my life, and was also afraid I would cause my mom to get fired.
This was back in the days of cameras without previews, where you would take pictures until the camera was full and then take them somewhere to get printed out. No way of knowing what was on the camera, how well the pics turned out, etc until they were 'developed.'
My brother and I were screwing around with the camera were taking pictures of each other. In one picture he pulled his pants down and mooned me. We both thought it was funny, nbd. Then after a couple pictures of him mooning me, he decided to pull his butt cheeks apart as I was taking another picture. I may have taken several pictures of him spreading his butt cheeks but I don't remember. I was standing about 4 or 5 feet away from him so it wasn't a close up or anything like that. We didn't think anything of it at the time, my parents weren't around to see it. That was my fuck-up, probably should have said something.
My mom worked as a manager at a department store and knew everyone at the store. She took the camera to work to have the pictures printed out and then was standing around with a couple coworkers looking through the pictures when they came to the one of my 6 year old brother mooning. She laughed and moved on, only to come to a picture of him bent over, pulling apart his butt cheeks. She came home raging mad, yelling at me that I could have gotten her arrested for this picture, that this was child pornography (I had no idea what porn was at that age, I was pretty sheltered and this was before we had internet, lol) and she could have been arrested or fired for it. Other people at the store had seen the pictures and she told me that if she got fired it was my fault.
I remember that I got grounded and for the first and only time that I can remember, part of my punishment was I wasn't allowed to read books for a week. All I did was read and when I was 'punished' it never really felt like a punishment because I could just read in my room. Anyway, that was how I knew I really fucked up, because I'd never been punished like that before.
Nothing came of it and my mom didn't get fired or arrested :)
TLDR: Took a picture of my brother spreading his butt cheeks apart and my mom inadvertently showed coworkers and was afraid she'd get fired or arrested for child porn.
AcrobaticSource3: Did your mom destroy the photos and the negatives?
saltytriscuit: I’m assuming she did! I don’t think she ever said another word about the whole thing. Probably tried to just forget about it lol

1672890597 | 1672967687 | t3_103oop6 | t5_2to41 | 15 | linkitydrinkity: TIFU by sending my mortgage advisor my OnlyFans statement
Hello! 27M here, UK based. So, for the last eight months, I've been trying to buy a house and I've finally got somewhere and had my offer accepted. I contacted my mortgage advisor to tell him the great news and he congratulated me and asked for 3 months of bank statements, which is very standard practice as a next move. I sent them over and he called me not too long after to say to double check and read through what I sent him, giggling whilst he did it. It is at this moment when I realised there about £150 a month in OnlyFans payments on there. Split up over multiple payments throughout the month mind you. Now, I'm guessing you're thinking no biggy right? Who is my mortgage advisor to judge? He's just some random guy? Well... my mortgage advisor is also my Dad. 🫣
TLDR: Sent a bank statement with onlyfans payments on it to my Dad
sandwichboy41: That seems weird to ask for bank statements, but I'm American. Usually when you apply for stuff in America they look at your credit score, and sometimes ask for proof of employment such as a pay stub.
If I had a lender asking for bank statements I'd tell them hell no, it's not their business what I'm purchasing with my money.
That is funny though that you had Only fans on your statement. Hopefully your Dad is cool about it and doesn't care.
ResidentDull5319: When you buy a house in America, you provide bank statements, retirement account statements, and any statements dealing with finances!!
sandwichboy41: Oh, I didn't know that. I've never bought a house, only rented apartments. Whenever I've rented an apartment they don't ask for bank statements so that's why I thought it was weird
ResidentDull5319: I hear ya! When you do buy , be prepared to make a blood sacrifice from your entire immediate family lol because that’s what it feels like😅

[removed]
apolychr: Well this is the most wholesome mother-in-law porn related story I’ve ever heard. Ya just can’t find that quality on the hub.
intokpyouseeme: Well glad you liked it cause this person made the whole thing up, if you check his profile you are going to find all the other personalities of his.
nyello-2000: I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this exact post, this is a karma farmer
gerflagenflople: What is the advantage of Karma farming?
smoike: Build an account up, delete posts leading to the points, sell for real money with 0 post history, possibly to scam. ers or spammers.
Seems like a lot of effort for the money.
KPookz: I can't believe people spend real world money on useless internet points.
Rengiil: Companies buy it. Of course karma is worth money, reddit is one of the most popular websites in the world.
spiderskizzles: Maybe but you have to explain why a high karma account is worth more than a 100 karma account
Rengiil: Legitimacy probly? And some subs require karma thresholds to post.
spiderskizzles: I don't think anyone cares how much karma an account has though. Do you read a take and then decide if it's legitimate it based on how much account karma they have? Idk. I know people check accounts but it's not really for karma score. Also subs require karma but that's why I asked why a high karma account is worth more than a 100 karma account because it's really not, at least for that purpose. Anyway just see all this and always wondered but nobody ever has a good answer for these questions.
Rengiil: Yeah I'm not sure either. I'm half convinced like 60 percent of all internet posts and comments on the entire internet is bots.
