TIFU by giving a girl a mix cd, but it was the dumb and dumber soundtrack. I met the girl of my dreams recently, and I found out she likes to listen to CDs. I really wanted to impress her, so I told her that I like making mix CDs (I don't even know how to do that). She asked me to make her one, which was like my dream come true because I never thought she would ever talk to me. Except I don't know how to make a mix CD. I tried to figure it out, but I have terrible taste in music anyway, and I really wanted to impress her. Well my parents have a collection of CDs that we used to listen to sometimes. One of them is the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack, which I really like, and the CD just says “D&D” in permanent marker, so I gave it to her and told her I made her a special mix. I told her I titled it for her, and it stood for “Dreams and Destiny” because I thought it sounded cool and provacative. Anyway, she actually really fucked with it, and we started talking and it's be...

So I start my daily 1.25 mile walk to work. It's been raining lately, but it was relatively dry. I'm looking down at my phone, trying to choose some Warhammer lore to listen to on my journey when I get to the point where I pass by the grate of a storm drain in front of a warehouse. One spot. One spot on my path was not at all dry. Now I'm finding my foot sliding in a direction it is absolutely NOT, as a fat man, supposed to be going. I hit the ground hard, right on to the grate. I start to get up and it hits. My fucking KNEE. I can't put weight on it, so I fall back down into the mud and try the other side. When I manage to stand, my fucking BACK hurts so much I can't stand straight. I limp around for a minute trying to assess the damage and if I could still get to work, but nah, ain't no way in hell I was going to be able to get there in my state much less work the entire day. Thankfully my boss is a good dude. I never miss work, I'm always ...

TIFU Para meterles en contexto estábamos en un asado familiar y el parlante estaba conectado al Bluetooth de mi primo a todo volumen en un momento el sale de la casa y su Bluetooth se desconecta y agarra el mio de forma automática a lo que justo estaba teniendo una conversación con un chico con el que estoy saliendo que solo estamos quitándonos las ganas de comun acuerdo y me llega un audio suyo y yo lo reproduzco sin darme cuenta que estaba conectado al parlante, el momento mas vergonzoso de mi vida pase frente a toda mi familia porque claramente nunca me vieron con esos ojos ellos, yo lo reproduje de nuevo sin darme cuenta ya que no se escuchaba y entra una hermana mia a decirme apaga el celular y yo la miro con cara de que te pasa loca y me dice esta conectado al parlante gente yo quise que la tierra me tragara en ese momento. "TL;DR:" en ese momento solo paso por mi cabeza como volvere a salir donde estaban todos que era el patio y mi error no desactivar el modo automát...

So today's was one of those days where I had to run a couple of errands and one of them was grocery shopping for the week. So I did my shopping as usual not thinking about anything else but trying to finish asap so I can go home and rest. And well I wouldn't say I filled the cart up but I did have a reasonable amount of items. Reached check out and added everything on to the belt so it can be scanned and when I was told the amount. I realized I didn't have my wallet with me. Tired seeing if they accepted Apple Pay and too my surprise no. At the point I had a few ppl behind me and well ultimately I probably made the cash register worker upset. And while trying to explain to the worker the person behind me gave me a smirk and proceeded to say, "that's why you always check before leaving your house," in a sarcastic manner. TL;DR: I fucked up because Truth be told I'm an idiot and now I got go back get my wallet and probably shop all over again since the...

I answer phones as part of my job. Usually people call either looking to purchase tickets for an event or to rent the space. Today a woman called with severe speech challenges, so I really tried to be patient and figure out what she was looking for. Being a certified woke person, I know there’s a number of reasons someone could have speech problems, so I didn’t automatically assume any intellectual disability. I just treated the call like I would any other phone call where I’m having trouble hearing or understanding the person. 20 minutes later, her mom comes in the room, grabs the phone, and angrily interrogates me like I was trying to scam her daughter. I guess I understand being suspicious of someone on the phone with your intellectually disabled adult child, but she came in so hot at me when I was just trying to help and understand. ;~; I apologized and let her know I just didn’t want to be rude and she said “you don’t have to be rude” but…at what point am I meant to make the jud...

I am in the mountains of Tuscany, Italy on vacation with my family. By the way, it absolutely gorgeous here! If I can put photos in the comments I may! Something to know about me is that I possess a deep passion and appreciation for all snakes. I actually have autism spectrum disorder, which has nothing to do with the choices made here directly, though the adhd might (this is more of a joke acknowledging the impulsivity that is so often part of the disorder that I do indeed possess, not shifting the blame onto the condition). Anyway, my special interest is all things reptiles and has been for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned a few reptiles including a ball python named Mushu and a Kenyan Sand Boa named Tele (short for George Philip Teleman the baroque composer). Tele actually escaped two years ago and I suppose at that time I could’ve deserved to have made a TIFU post as well, as it surely had to have been an error on my part with closing or setting up the enclosure. I research ...
