Ok, this is a little silly, but It’s been about 2 months now and I still feel like I fucked something up and can’t get it back. So I (F early 20’s) made friends with an older gentlemen (M mid to late 40s-50s) last year and would occasionally message each other on Instagram/facebook. Nothing too crazy, mostly he would congratulate me on my recent accomplishments and send me some advice if I needed it which I always took to heart and appreciated. To me, he’s like a father figure and always had my back like a supportive parent would. We have mutual friends who I’m really close with and they were hosting a party, so I went over to Instagram and asked if he was going to be there since he was invited. I also threw in “also at this point we should exchange contact info” at the end, since I thought it was a little silly not to have each others contact info at this point since we’ve known each other for a while now. He saw that message, but never responded. It’s been two months now and I ...

So when i was around 12 (in my 20s now) my mom wanted me to gain some independence and learn to order and get food for us as a family. We lived right beside a shopping centre that had a Walmart with a McDonald’s inside. She had sent me with her card and a list of whatever was wanted, she told me “this is what you need to order word for word and whatever you would like, just come back with my card and the bill. Oh but make sure you tell them to supersize my meal” Supersize? i remember thinking “the fuck is that?” (in canada where we live I had never hear this) never the less, mom said what she said and i’m on my new journey of adult hood. after my treacherous walk of 5 whole minutes where as i walked the whole time i practiced everyone’s orders, feeling so mature and confident. i approached with the up most confidence to this poor clearly young teen boy exhausted from his job “hello welcome to mcdonald’s what can i get you?” “hello..saaa..sir… i would like (said my whole family’s order ...

My daughter, 7, loves Minecraft, and needs help making an apology gift for a friend at school who also loves Minecraft. So, as any good mother with autism, ADHD and a wild collection of crafts, I agreed to make a green Minecraft slime. I intended to use polymer clay for the inside and resin for the outside. To make it a little extra special, I decided to use some of my glow in the dark pigment in the resin. Now, this should have been the moment I questioned my idea because this isn't just ANY glue in the dark pigment. It's Stuart Semple's, neon green LIT, the worlds strongest glow in the dark pigment. As I sprinkled a small amount into the resin, I noticed it accidentally spilled on the table. I quickly use my hand to wipe it away, but it smears. What follows was about 3 hours of the same issue happening over and over as I try to gradually later this resin and cure it to avoid bubbles and uncured resin. Once finished, it was already late at night and my husband, who needs...

So I am 21, so obviously I do struggle with FOMO when it comes to "living out my twenties" especially because I am a very sensitive person, I feel like it is hard to put myself out there and really be like a social butterfly, party girl type. Well, a mutual friend was going to this huge festival rave type thing in our state and she is a VERY experienced raver who is pretty hard-core about it so I assumed she knew her stuff and that it must be a very big deal so I went. Well, I got stuck in traffic on the way there so I was a little bit late. My friend had already gotten in early so she didn't have anything to worry about. Meanwhile I was stuck in a two hour line that literally wrapped around the building and parking lot in 105 degrees with humidity. We were dripping sweat, people were passing out and having medical emergencies, and water bottles were banned at this venue because they wanted us to buy water in the actual place after being admitted. My makeup and deodoran...

Actually happened today! I work as a teacher at a technical college. Today we were talking about pneumatic control systems, focusing on pressure calculations in different parts of the system. The subject of fluid flow came up. In order for fluid to flow from one part of a system to another there has to be a pressure difference, also known as Delta P. Thinking I was smart, I decided to show them the Delta P video. You already know the one. It's about 10 minutes long and talks about how not to get sucked into an opening underwater. Halfway through the video there's a part when a crab gets sucked into an underwater pipe. That video. You've seen it, right? Right. So anyway, I went to youtube and searched for Delta P. I saw the thumbnail I remember and clicked on it. The video started normally, though I did notice the naration was a little off. I thought maybe it just wasn't as good as I thought. Suddenly the video started talking about "your girlfriend" an...

Yeah... pretty much what the title says. I had a 200 SEK (Swedish Kronor) bill in my pocket while working on my parents farm. I had previously forgotten it in my left pocket and pointed this out to my mother. Then proceeded to put it in my right pocket where I usually keep my phone. At some point during the afternoon it must've fallen out as I took my phone out. Retraced my steps carefully but could not find it. Thinking I could maybe have dropped it while I was saying hi to some of the cows. Which means there's a possibility that a cow has eaten it... 😭 So frustrated with myself right now, feeling stupid for moving it to the same pocket as my phone. Just needed to write it out and complain somewhere 🥲 For reference 200 SEK is around 20 dollars, around 15 pounds or around 18 euro. I know it's not a crazy amount of money, but it could've helped feed me for a week when money becomes scarce for me during winter. TL;DR: Dropped a 200 SEK bill and a cow may have eate...
