I was too busy thinking about how I wanted to look like a hitchhiker you’d actually like to pickup without thinking about who was doing the picking up... My presumed kidnapper got off the highway where I didn't expect. He said this was the closest gas station. We began driving 45 minutes down a dirt road towards Mexico. I wasn’t too concerned. We were going a whole 10 miles an hour and he was old so I figured I could duck, roll and run. I was tense but also in a "let's see what happens" mood. It wasn't until we got to his house and he was showing me his artichoke plants when I finally thought to ask “why are we at your house?" He looked confused then said, "the gas can!" and went to grab it. I felt relieved. We were about to leave when he stopped said, "you see that?" "The windmill?" I said. Looking outside. "No, the snake in the windmill… " There was no snake in the windmill. I looked at him bot...

So, in the middle of a conversation that had a lot of chatting and laughing in it, we were all bringing up memories from the past etc and decided to watch my parent's wedding (from the 90s), when my aunt was barely 40 and so beautiful. Idk how it just slipped out of my mouth and I told her: "btw, you changed a lot! I wouldn't have imagined it was you". In the same moment I don't remember wether it was before or after, I told another aunt that she didn't change much over the years. (Due to life responsabilities etc, the 1st one aged way faster than her peers) She didn't get angry or anything, she acknowledged it telling me that another woman who knew her stopped her in the street to ask her how her beautiful sister who was living in ... was doing (she was meaning the same person, she just didn't recognize her) and that she replied "oh, she's fine" without telling the woman that it was actually her. What breaks my heart the most is th...

So I (27F) am going to an event where clothes can be removed, for starters I’m an incredibly hairy woman twins of Sasquatch. I hate my body hair and laser removal won’t work it always comes back and waxing is way out of budget, so there I was butthole in the air getting nair bikini applied when I felt a burn equal to 1000 suns and an Agni Kai combined (iykyk) and so we immediately tried to remove it and I jumped in the shower and tried to cool it down with cold water. I tried to scrub as gently and as quickly as possible. I’ve never felt pain this bad and I’ve given birth, broken bones, cancer, and have had 2 emergency surgeries for organ failure. I now have a slight chemical burn on my asshole. Just wanted to share this with anyone who needs a laugh today and who needs to just relax. TLDR: bikini nair is not for your asshole. It’s for the bikini area and no it doesn’t mean where the bikini covers.

This is actually a TIFU, as in it happened today, but to tell the story we have to go back to yesterday. We work a hybrid pattern in our office currently, 2 days in the office and 3 from home. A group of colleagues in my wider department organised a small hike for charity in 2025 and then decided to organise a follow up this year. I joined in the organising this time as I was in the office with them under the new hybrid pattern. I found myself pushing the fundraising for 2 local charities, being Vibe Captain and trying to get people involved, sharing QR codes, Teams backgrounds etc. This year's hike was going to be bigger and better than last year's 12-miler, we were going for at least 20 miles this time round, and I had to put together a guide for the day, what to expect, what to bring etc. The day itself came (yesterday) we had decent weather, we got t-shirts to wear from the 2 charities and we had a good time on the walk, the first leg was slightly longer than planned,...

Today morning me and my 2 friends went to a canal for swimming. My friends had already swam there once or twice before, but it was my first time swimming in a canal. I usually swim only in swimming pools/tanks. There was a bridge around 50–60 meters away from where we were standing. My friends said we should jump from there and then swim back. They both jumped first and started swimming ahead. I jumped after them. At first everything felt normal. But after swimming around 30–35 meters, I suddenly realized I might not be able to make it till the end. So I tried moving towards the corner/side to get out safely. That’s when things got bad. The water current kept pulling me away from the side. No matter how hard I tried to reach the corner, the flow kept dragging me away. I started panicking and then I genuinely started drowning. I was giving my absolute 100% just to stay up and somehow reach the side, but the current was too strong. Thankfully one of my friends noticed something...

I’m an idiot.. Me (M26) and my GF (F25) took our yearly trip to the mountains a couple of days ago. We usually spend the first three days hiking and the remainder of our trip in a nice cabin. This year I decided to splurge and upgraded us to a really nice hotel because i had a plan. Me and my girlfriend have been together for 4 years and we always talked about trying to get engaged after she was done with uni. She has talked about how she doesn’t really care about how or where we do the wedding, the proposal was the only thing she really cared about. She wanted a nice intimate moment between the two of us. So that was my plan, the last day of our hike I would pop down on my knee and ask the question in a beautiful and intimate moment. Here’s what actually happened. We had just gotten to the best part of the hike. It was peaceful, the views were beautiful and so was she. We were standing by a outlook post overlooking a valley. There was not a person insight… or so I thought. I told he...
