This actually happened yesterday night by the way and I just got this wreath yesterday afternoon. Anyways so I had been unwinding from my day at work and saw it was getting dark outside and late, so I decided I should head to bed since I work early in the mornings. I was tired as well and wanted to try to go to sleep at a decent time so I went around making sure all the lights were off and doors were locked. Onto the fuck up. I went over to my entry door that had windows and peeked through the blinds making sure my outdoor light was on and that’s when I saw something dark and ominous right against the door. Guys…when I tell you my heart rate SPIKED. I quickly retreated from the door and stood there for a few seconds. That’s when I realized it was my wreath. My fucking wreath almost gave me a heart attack! In my tired state I somehow forgot about the wreath I hung up literally the day before lol. Once I realized there was no threat I continued my nightly routine and went to bed. I f...

We had a break at work today so I decided I was going to have a few bites of beer jerky while we were talking about random stuff. For context, I dont really like jack links and the like because it's too tender, so I buy a brand that you really have to naw on, so it was quite tough. I usually just put the entire piece in my mouth and chew for a couple minutes but the piece I grabbed was was too long for me to fit it in. So in my thoughtless head I grabbed one end with a full grip and bit down on the other. This beef jerky was so tough that I couldn't bite through it, so I had the bright idea to start pulling from both ends. I did end up tearing it but I didn't notice how much strain I was putting on my neck. Once the connective tissue finally tore my neck jumped forward and I had an awful pain. If you ever woke up with a crick in your neck you know what I'm talking about. Now I can only turn my neck up about 20 degrees and turn to the side about 60 without being in a...

An update from https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/s/ZgXXD3WQGg A couple days after I posted that, I sent my friend (the hostess) a message: “Hey [Hostess’ Name]. I’ve been thinking about what happened and I want to apologize again now that I’ve had some time to process everything. I’m truly sorry for my behavior and for the stress and worry I caused you, your boyfriend, and everyone else there. I know you had to take care of me instead of being able to enjoy your own night, and I’m really sorry. I also want you to know that this isn’t how I normally behave or how I treat people, and I’m deeply ashamed that this is the impression I gave you and everyone there. I’m not saying that as an excuse or justification at all. I’m incredibly remorseful. You don’t owe me any forgiveness and you don’t have to respond. I understand if you need space. I just wanna tell you how truly genuinely sorry I am. And if there’s anyone else I should apologize to, if appropriate, I’d be willing.” It’s be...

Was playing pool today with a uncle at a club. A guy comes in by himself and asks of any of us want a game. My uncle says he’s gotta go after this. I’m really introverted and not doing too great socially and just auto said “yeah sorry man i gotta go too but thanks and have a great evening man”. I have almost 0 friends my age in my town atm and i wish i’d just said yes just so i could’ve stepped out my comfort zone and talked to someone else and just had fun. I’m really disappointed with myself for just being awkward and blocking off an offer cuz he seemed nice. I can’t believe I turned down such an easy opportunity to meet someone new by doing something i really enjoy. I know there’ll be future opportunities but I’m just disappointed at how low my confidence has dipped recently. Hopefully I can say yes next time and start putting myself out there more! TL;DR: I’m introverted and a guy offered me a game of pool. I politely declined, but now I really regret it and feel really bad.

So I had to do my first civilian drug test today, and I walked in thinking it’d be the same deal as the Navy. You know the drill: observer follows you in, pants and underwear to the ankles, shirt lifted, full humiliation mode. Standard issue trauma. The tech hands me the cup and says, “Alright, follow me.” Cool. I follow him into the restroom. He stops outside the stall. I’m thinking, Oh, he’s the observer. Got it. So I start doing what I’ve done a hundred times in uniform — pants going down, underwear going down, shirt starting to come up. This dude practically jumps. He goes, “Whoa, no, no, no — what are you doing?” I’m standing there like an idiot, halfway undressed, confused as hell. “I thought you had to… observe?” He looks horrified. Like I just tried to reenact a crime scene. “No, man. I just need to be outside the stall. I don’t need to see anything. Ever.” I swear he said “ever” like he was begging the universe. So I awkwardly pull everything back up, shu...

I took my two children (7 and 4 months) to a chain fast food place where they are known to do a pick with salad, sandwich or soup and to have that food picked up at a counter. My 7 year old ordered on the kiosk and runs to a table. I finish and find them, we get the text that the food is done so we grab it from the counter. They run to get their soda and here is when all crap went down. They grabbed the wrong size lid twice so I went to the soda fountain to get my soda and proper lids. And older lady my guess late 60s (she’s 75) stops me. Her: “I hate how mean people can be especially women don’t you agree” Me: “Oh yah” Her: “That manager is so mean I did nothing wrong and she basically yelled at me. Are you Christian” Me: “yes” (I used to be catholic but I’ve been around people like her. Sometimes it’s easier to lie than hear a whole story about how you’re going to hell). Her: “Can we pray together, she’s really mean and she’s sleeping with her boyfriend and having kids with hi...
