Last night, I took my dog for what was supposed to be a simple walk to my in-laws' house, which is less than two miles away—about a 30-minute walk. For some context, I live in a rural area, so walking along the roads is pretty normal. I left around 9 p.m. while it was still light out, and since the roads were quiet, I decided to take a different route for a change. Unfortunately, while I was talking to my mom on the phone, I missed my turn. My phone died shortly afterward, but I wasn't worried because I thought I was almost there. I was very wrong. I ended up walking nearly four miles down a long country road before realizing something wasn't right. By then, it was completely dark, and nothing looked familiar anymore. I turned around and started retracing my steps, but in the pitch black, I had no idea where I was. My poor dog was getting tired, I was starting to panic, and it had to be well past 10:30 p.m. Eventually, I came across a well-lit house and decided I ha...

I (30M) recently bought a pair of sleeping shorts with a pretty short inseam (which I didn’t realize when I bought them). However they are super comfortable and I live alone so no big deal usually. However, I recently went to visit my longtime female friend at her beach condo and spent the weekend there on the couch. This is where I fucked up. We were getting ready for bed and I had changed into my sleeping shorts (which I always wear commando). I was laying on one side of the L-shaped couch and she was sitting on the other part of it. She randomly looked at my and starts cracking up and say “hey I can see your dick”. I guess the way more shorts sat she could see up one of the sides. I am actually pretty self conscious and made me feel bad. TL;DR my platonic female friend saw my dick

Not today, but sunday. I was cleaning the bathroom sink. I noticed the drain has gunk in it. I had a old bottle brush i wasn't using so i inserted it to the drain. There was a little resistance going in and coming out. After three tries (drain had three holes), (it sounds dirty like this, isn't it?) i checked under the sink to see if there was any water leak. And there was. At first i thought it was a o-ring coming loose. So i tried to fix it. I took the drain out, tighten its nuts and put it back. It still leaked. At that point everything under the sink was being wet, so i took everything out of there. And dried the shelves with towels. I took the drain out again, tighten it again and check for leaks. It didn't leak by itself, so i put it back again. And it leaked again. At that point i gave up on that drain. Went to the hardware store and bought a new drain. Came home, tried to install the new drain. New drain didn't fit the top part of old drain. Went to the hard...

Since mid June I'm cursed. Got a swollen gland under my jaw, then tonsilitis and was on antibiotics (yeah you know where this is going). Before the last day of antibiotics saw the doctor again and he said I can go to the beach. Never said I couldn't but I knew better. So I went to the beach. And the next morning I had nornal red shoulders from the sun but also some red spots that kept getting more. And I stupidly went to the beach again, as I had planned, with much sunscreen and planning to not stay in the sun long but that didn't work cause beach bars have the worse quality of umbrellas on earth they are just for show. Soooooo now I'm all red and itchy. And stupid. And angry. And ITCHY. Did I mention I didn't wear sunscreen the first day at the beach? Yeah I'm double or triple stupid idk I've lost count. At this point I'm just writing to reach the word limit. So I'll add that the previous two times I went to the beach I got stung by a jellyfish....

​It all started the day after I got a massive sunburn from swimming in saltwater at the beach. My shoulders turned bright red, and my left shoulder completely broke out in blisters. It literally looks like military epaulets. My face also turned crimson and swelled up like crazy, but that was nothing compared to what happened next. ​On the second day of my tomato-like existence, my eyes started hurting sharply. It was tolerable though, so I just blinked it off. Closer to lunchtime, my mom noticed what she thought were signs of conjunctivitis (spoiler: it wasn't, just a side effect of my face being burnt to a crisp). But the real issue wasn't her diagnosis—it was how she decided to treat it. ​My mom asked me for my pocket money, claiming it was for my own health, and sent my younger brother to the pharmacy to get Motherwort tincture (a common herbal remedy here). After we had lunch, she dropped it straight into my eyes. ​They started burning insanely. I immediately ran to w...

So this actually happened a few months ago, but the story just got brought up again and I wanted to share it with you all. I (26m) used to work at a major retail mobile phone network provider. I was a sales rep and we were having a friendly competition to sell air pods with iPhone upgrades. This older couple, maybe late 40's to mid 50's come in and they are looking to upgrade their iPhones. I walk through the newest iPhone models and discuss storage and all the works. After picking out the iPhones I help them with the upgrade and transfer, at this point the wife seemed to be antsy to leave and the husband was kind of a stonewall. Usually during the transfer process is where I try to pitch the air pods but the wife cut me off on any pitch before I could get past any sort of "would you be interested in". As the phones finish updating the husband asks something along the lines of "do you recommend any headphones?" Naturally I am excited by this perfec...
