TIFU by trying to be a good boyfriend and making breakfast in bed

Woke up early this morning feeling romantic. Thought I'd surprise my girlfriend with breakfast in bed before she had to go to work. Simple stuff, eggs, toast, coffee, maybe some fruit. Nothing fancy. Here's where I fucked up. I brought the tray up all proud of myself, opened the bedroom door with my foot, and immediately tripped over her shoe that was literally right there in the doorway. Tray went flying. Eggs on the carpet. Coffee on the white bedsheets. Toast landed butter-side down on her phone which was charging on the nightstand. She wakes up to me covered in egg yelling "I'M SO SORRY" while trying to wipe coffee off her face with a pillowcase. She wasn't even mad actually started laughing but I'm pretty sure I ruined breakfast in bed for the rest of our relationship. Cleaned everything up and we ended up getting McDonald's so I guess it worked out? Still feel like an idiot though. TL;DR:  Tried to make breakfast in bed for my girlfriend, tri...

TIFU by ignoring the hole in my bag of instant oatmeal

Content warning for gross food stuff/emetophobia. You have been warned. So I was rifling through my dry food pantry looking for something to eat, right? I find this box of instant dried oatmeal, the kind that comes in little paper bags and is banana maple flavored or w/e. The bags look a little worse for wear, little greasy, but it's fine. It's dried, it's not like there's anything in there that could spoil, right? I follow the instructions, open up the bag, pour it into a bowl, and fill up the empty bag with water up to the fill line. Water starts pouring out the side of the bag, through a small hole I did not previously notice. Well, that's inconvenient. I do not take a moment to wonder "why is there a hole in here? and a perfectly circular one at that? how long have these packets been sitting in the back of the cabinet of this 50 year old house?", instead I finish prepping my breakfast and toss it in the microwave. Yippee, yummy oatmeal! I sit down ...

TIFU by finally admitting I’m not “the strong one” in the worst possible way

This happened today. For years I’ve been the “strong one” in my family. When my parents divorced, I helped my younger sister, made sure she felt safe, and told her everything would be fine even when I didn’t believe it. When my mom worked two jobs, I tried to keep good grades, helped around the house, and acted like nothing was bothering me. Teachers called me mature. Friends said I was strong. I never really corrected them. I just kept saying I was okay, even when I wasn’t. Today my mom called asking if I could help my sister again. I’d barely slept, work has been overwhelming, and instead of calmly saying I was exhausted, I snapped . I told her I was tired of always being the responsible one, that nobody ever asked if I was okay, that I felt invisible for years. I didn’t say it calmly. I said it angry and loud, like they had done something cruel on purpose. My mom went quiet and said she thought I wanted to help and that she was proud of how strong I’ve always been. She sounded hur...

TIFU by giving a scammer my SSN

To start, I have been trying to find a WFH job because I need the money to be able to afford rent and bills and because I plan on going back to school online, so it would be a lot easier to get a WFH job. I have filled out so many job applications, I don't even remember who all I applied to. Well, last week, I got an interview invitation from someone at an investment bank for a payroll clerk job, which is one of the positions I applied for at several other companies. I was ecstatic because I thought I got something. Well, they sent me a link to the Chief of Human Resources to her Microsoft Teams account. I set up an interview for a later date and when that date came, we had our interview through chat and not through video call like I thought it would be. (I know, I know, major red flag that I should have picked up on.) Well, I was asked some standard interview questions involving metaphorical scenarios and my experience. It all looked very legitimate, even in the subsequent emails...

TIFU demanding a refund for perfectly good windshield wipers.i

so, I recently have been struggling with shitty broken windshield wipers and during the last storm almost crashed because of poor visibility. We were due for some snow so I went to Auto Zone and shelled out a small fortune for top of the line wipers. I installed them myself with a little help from google and proudly drove off. The wipers had bright yellow blades which I thought was odd but since they were the heavy duty kind, I just shrugged it off and assumed that they were a more durable kind of rubber. I was very excited to try them out when the snow came and when the moment came where they were needed, I flicked them on anticipating a spotless windshield. Well, they… Sucked. Like, they smeared ice all over the windshield and basically did nothing. I was pissed but thought maybe they just needed to be broken in or that I installed them wrong. Today, after I dug out my car and started driving, I noticed that one of the yellow wiper blades was hanging off. Already. This was the ...

TIFU i have a huge crush on alice weidel

First of all: i am woke. Alice Weidel is a far right german political i know how goofy alice weidel is but i am - for reasons UNKNOWN to me - extremely(!!) attracted to her. Maybe it’s because I suppose she is dominant, idk but i never had such a attraction to someone and i had many relationships with attractive girls A few days ago, the girl i am dating at the moment wanted to needle me by ironically saying that i surely dream about alive weidel. didn’t think much about weidel before but since then she doesn’t leave my head. She is not even my type and I never before fell for a politician. She actually is my very first celebrity crush⁉️which is FRUSTRATING bc i wanna fck her but obvs can’t :( I’m a lesbian, female, 20 years old… TL;DR: Weidel is my crush, and i have no idea at all why, she’s neither very attractive nor smart or a good person
