I (26F) have recently started to get closer to a colleague, who I will give the fake name of Josh. Josh(26M) and I don't work together, but we work in the same field and run into one another frequently. We started to get lunch together more often and would schedule group activities with other mutual friends. Around the time Josh and I started to get really close, I had just ended things with my long term partner following us failing to make our relationship work after he betrayed my trust a few months earlier. All of this is to say, I was not ready for a new relationship. I made this very clear to Josh after we drunkenly kissed one night. We continued to get closer and our friendship turned physical. We both very clearly had feelings for one another, but I still did not yet want to jump into a new relationship. I told him I needed some time to be by myself, but also admitted I didn't want to see anyone else at the moment. He told me he wasn't seeing anyone else either. I ...

So my friend asked me to move his car yesterday while he was carrying a bunch of boxes up to his apartment, and I immediately said sure because in my head moving a car twenty feet barely even counts as driving. Then I got in and saw the extra pedal. Manual. Now before everyone calls me an idiot, I knew what a manual transmission was. I've watched people do it. I've seen enough Fast & Furious movies to be dangerous. I played way too much Gran Turismo growing up. I just never actually drove one. At that point my friend was already halfway up the stairs carrying a giant storage bin, and for some reason my brain decided admitting I didn't know how to drive stick would be more embarrassing than whatever came next. Huge mistake. I started the car. Instant stall. Started it again. Another stall. By the third attempt I got it moving, but not in a controlled responsible-adult kind of way. More like a scared horse escaping a barn. The car jumped forward, I panicked, my feet com...

I normally rely on what my company puts in the kitchen to fuel my hunger throughout the day since I don't make myself food. Lunch time rolls around and I scour the office looking for snacks. They put bags of dried fruit on the kitchen island today, so I took one. Since I didn't have anything else to eat, I ate a good chunk of the bag. It didn't even taste good. I kept munching on the fruit because I was hungry. Well a few hours later, I had a severe stomach ache. I never have this issue, so figured the dried fruit was the problem. I checked out the bag while driving home and it turns out it contains a ton of fiber. I'm now hunched over on the floor/bed until I shit away this problem. TL;DR: I ate a lot of dried fruit and the fiber gave me cramps.

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...
