I was wearing my headphones and was on a discord call with my friend when I started watching a video on YouTube that really caught my attention. My friend, who I didn't realize was still talking to me, apparently started yelling my name to try to get my attention. I still could not hear him, to the point where I briefly thought he had stepped away for a bit. I don't have hearing problems afaik, so I can only chalk it up to not paying enough attention to him. It doesn't help that my friend was extremely frustrated with me and reminded me how dangerous my inattentiveness could be. And it's not the first time, I have always struggled whether it be gaming, watching YouTube vids or reading something where I become so absorbed in it that everything around me stops. It even happens at work when I'm really locked into a case I'm working on and I won't hear teams notification or someone knocking on my cubicle door. TL;DR: I got so into the YouTube video I was w...

Got to car accident 2 years ago that I was at 0% fault, went to the doctors, talk to the insurance. About payment, but I thought the statue of limitation was to file the paper work I didn’t know that it was to have a case and present to a judge to get everything. The state I’m in Virginia has two years and today was last day to file anything. Called multiple lawyers but due to holiday everyone that I needed has left for the weekend. I was doing everything myself, documenting everything, gathering doctors notes, but didn’t realized how to actually properly file everything. I thought I could do it on my own, but I couldn’t handled it. Tl:dr waited too long thinking I can handle it On my own and failed to realize how crucial a lawyer really is.

This happened about a week ago and I still feel so stupid about it. My girlfriend and I went to her parents' house for dinner. It was a great meal. I had a few glasses of wine. Then after dinner, we sat around and talked. I had a few more glasses of wine and some bourbon. I was definitely a bit buzzed. My girlfriend's mother randomly brought up that she read about a woman who got pregnant after her boyfriend's condom broke. In a very awkward way I blurted out, "Well we don't have to worry about that." All of a sudden my girlfriend's mother got a serious look on her face. She asked me, "What, you two don't use condoms?" The truth is we don't use condoms. My girlfriend is on birth control. Her mother is totally against it and thinks birth control is harmful to the woman's body. They have gotten into arguments about it, but my girlfriend is an adult and it's her body and I support her. But she purposely didn't tell her mother...

I 18f have just moved to new country to start university funny enough it was my first day of class too. I have never dated anyone before and on sunday i downloaded bumble originally looking for friends on there. I got curious and switched to the dating side and started swiping yes on guys that had good jobs and looked rich. Obviously I know that its weird for anyone over 22 to be attracted to a 18yr old. But in my mind I thought I thought that i might as well take advantage of them too and take their money. I have been watching a lot of shera7's videos and now im starting to doubt her messages. I never had the intention to have sex or get physical with any of these guys. I raised the age on my filters because older guys are more financially stable. I matched with a guy called H and on his profile it showed him flying a plane and that he was also an engineer and 40. Not conventionally attractive but I just caref about the money. On his bio, it said that he was a traditional guy,...

I (25M, college-educated with a master's degree in CS) have a cousin (31M) who attended MCPHS between September 2013 and June 2019, took 12 full time semesters, had a cumulative GPA of ~3.0-3.3 before dropping out, and majored in Pharmacy with a minor in business. My cousin told me the program was 7 years long, and even though he had approximately 6 years worth of college credits given his full time status there (he even took some summer classes to retake some failed courses), he dropped out of MCPHS in June 2019, against his parents' wishes. He is saddled in 300k USD in student loans, of which he claimed he will never pay. He moved back to his parents' house in June 2019, where he slept in a six square metre bedroom he used to sleep in as a child, teen, and during summers outside of the school year. Since 2019, his whole extended family, including his parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and younger sister (27F) advise him to return to college, contact them, and look into any ...

today a teacher I’ve known for years and deeply respect called my mom’s phone asking for my brother. I picked up the phone. Now, picture this: I’m 19 years old, and my brain is running at 200 mph trying to sound polite, perfectly articulate, and composed for this teacher. What does my overthinking brain decide to produce instead? 'Hello! Ah, my brother? Yes, I am his BROTHER.' Y’all, I am a 19-year-old girl. My mom was standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME when I said it. The micro-second of absolute, deafening silence on the line after I said that felt like three whole business days. I immediately corrected myself, passed the message, and hung up as fast as I could, but the emotional damage was already done. My brain has been replaying this 10-second glitch in 4K resolution for hours. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has completely ruined their dignity in front of someone they respect over a stupid slip of the tongue. Drop your worst brain-fart stories in the comments so ...
