TIFU by answering my 5-year-old’s question about swear words too honestly

So the other day at breakfast my five-year-old asked one of those big questions. You know… Not about the birds and the bees. Not the meaning of existence. No. Something far more dangerous. We were sitting at the kitchen table. Very calm. Very normal. Kids eating. I was enjoying one of those rare parenting moments where no one was screaming, crying, or asking for snacks that we absolutely did not have. Then my daughter looks up and says: “Mom?” “Yes?” “Why can’t we say fuck or shit?” Now listen. There are moments in parenting where you have to maintain composure. This was one of those moments. Because the way she said it… Perfectly calm. Perfect pronunciation. Just dropped both words like she was asking why clouds exist. Meanwhile I’m gripping my coffee mug trying not to laugh like a 13-year-old boy who just heard his first swear word.  I look at her. She’s just sitting there. Waiting. Like she asked a completely reasonable question. Which honestly… she did. ...

TIFU idiot bird man eats bread

ok so I have celiac disease, so bread is a big no-no for this guy. So I love the corvids in my backyard, so I tend to feed them before I head off in the mornings. Usually, I toss them some nuts or grapes, but today, my brother, who can eat bread, told me he had some bread that was a bit stale. I broke the bread up and tossed some to the birds. Most ate happily, but two were looking at me and not eating. Normally, that just means they don't trust the food, and it is fixed by taking a bite of half a piece before tossing it over, so I did that out of habit. After I swallowed the bread, I realised my mistake... at least the birds were eating, and I got to take a sick day off work TL;DR: idoit bird man eats bread to make his birds happy. Not a good idea with celiac disease

TIFU by forgetting to close porn tab from my safari (F)

Well, guess I got frisky and love to watch some human documentary. I was out shopping with friends and we were on the skytrain. I was showing one of my male friend some picture and he asked if it’s okay to google about the stuff we were talking about, which I said okay. I completely forget about the tab. The internet was too damn fast and it loaded in just a sec after he pressed safari. There was no sound but he saw it and my other male friend also saw it. I wanted to buried my face on the ground right there. I snatched back my phone, close the tab, and lend him my phone again. No body said anything but I my face was burning. The rest of the day was okay but my brain keeps replaying the moment. TL;DR: I forgot to close my porn tab and my friends saw it.

TIFU by giving my toddler roid rage.

My nearly 2 year old daughter is developing eczema. Her doctor prescribed hydrocortisone cream. Doctor did not explain that hyperactivity is a side effect of even mild steroid creams and I did not read the leaflet, neither did my wife. Leading to us applying the stuff (sparingly, thankfully) after daughter’s evening bath, not in the morning per recommendations. She. Went. NUTS. She’s an active kid anyway but as bedtime approaches, all she normally wants to do is read books with us. Not tonight. The girl may as well be on meth, she’s so wired - to a point where it’s slightly scary, because she’s too tired to be really in control but restraining her would make things way worse. I’ve babysat people that were high on coke or ecstasy before, hell I’ve been the guy that someone else had to babysit, and this is exactly like that. As I type this she’s JUST slowing down, after 90 straight minutes of spinning, jumping, climbing, dancing, fast-talking, yelling frenzy. Any attempt to calm or dis...

TIFU by accidentally exposing myself to lead

I decided to post on here because i was listening to Smosh and Kallmekris around the time this went down. I'm ruffly 14-16 and very into the arts. I have been into making jewelry resently and have gotten some new jewelry wire. I have had a hard time using it as it isn't as thin as I'm used to, and the ends keep sticking out and poking me when I make something. So I when downstairs to the basement to look in my dad's workroom to see if I could find anything useful, also he wasnt home. It seemed like he was working on somthing with wire and somthing that I think is called a cheeseboard or somthing with board in it. I saw this metal wire and I wanted to know if it would melt since the other metal wire I had wouldn't. (I was trying to melt the other wire to fuse two ends of a ring together, also I was using my dad's heat gun) Point is it melted so I made two shapes out of the metal and melted it. They came out as two very imperfect charms both had holes i could lo...

TIFU by blacking out at a st pattys party and waking up in a completely different apartment
