TIFU by becoming the office plunger

I’m the only woman in my office, which means the women’s bathroom is my private bathroom. That sounds great until something goes wrong and there is exactly one suspect. Today, I clogged the toilet. I flushed, watched the water rise, and immediately realized there was no way to blame this on anyone else or skedaddle out of there. To make matters worse, there was no plunger in the bathroom. My options were to tell one of my male coworkers that the women’s toilet was clogged, knowing they would instantly know it was me, or solve the problem myself. So, in a moment of pure panic and terrible judgment, I used my hand. I will spare you the details, but it worked. I washed my hands so many times that I may no longer have fingerprints. Which will be great should I need to flee the country and start a new life under an assumed identity. I returned to my desk acting completely normal, while internally processing the fact that I had just reached into a toilet to protect my professiona...

TIFU by buying 3 ibs of Jelly Beans

Man, they come out of those dispensers fast, eh? My fiancee and I went to Winco yesterday and I have been craving jelly beans like nobody's business. I saw they had giant dispensers with all the flavors I wanted!! Watermelon, buttered popcorn, black licorice, cotton candy, I was in heaven! But pulling the handle on the coffee-style dispensers allowed WAY more to come through than I anticipated. Which, is fine. I can eat a lot of jelly beans and we don't have a candy store near us so when will I have this chance again? Well, I ended up with 3.27 pounds (or 1.36 kilo) of jelly beans ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I bought my groceries, paid $92 for it all. $30 is just jelly beans. So I'll be snacking on these for a while.... My best friend said they're going to write math problems about me. ๐Ÿฅด TL;DR I spent $30 on jelly beans due to my ignorance and strength.

TIFU by accidentally convincing a great girl that I was talking to other girls and lying to her about it

Not really sure why I’m posting this. Maybe just to vent or as a cautionary tale. I (31M) dated this girl (28F) for 6 weeks. It was really great. I’m generally very awkward and don’t have hardly any relationship experience, but everything was so easy with her. She was really fun, sweet, caring, beautiful, funny, and overall a joy to be around. There was a language barrier (she only spoke Spanish and I spoke very little Spanish), but we had a lot of fun together and were still able to get to know each other and bond well despite it. She just ended things though because I committed a series of incredibly stupid fuckups in quick succession and obliterated her trust. Fuckup 1: while hanging out this weekend, she saw that bumble was still on my phone. We hadn’t had a conversation yet about exclusivity, but were acting more and more like a couple (hoodie stealing, hand holding, frequent dates, lots of other little things). I was thinking heavily about making it official in the next few wee...

TIFU by making a Spotify playlist with my crush’s face on it and he accidentally saw it

I’m 20F and the guy I’m talking to (20M) goes to my university. Weve liked eachother for a while now and ive been prettt obsessed with him since my first year. I guess I’m kind of dwelling on this issue but I’m actually mortified. I made a Spotify playlist full of love songs and put one of his selfies on the cover. It was a stupid thing to do but I never in a million years thought he would ever see it, so it’s fine right? One thing about me is that I always have a bunch of tabs open on my phone. I forgot what I was letting him do on my phone, but he was holding it. he was closing my tabs, and the playlist was on one of the tabs CLEAR AS DAY. and he pretended not to see I actually died inside He def saw it and is planning his escape ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Anyways since I have u guys here, I would just like to say he’s sososoososoooo fine and if u guys saw him u would understand ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜› OVERLY need that WOOF WOOF TL;DR I lost my husband basically

TIFU by trying to quietly fix the office coffee machine and making everyone think I was stealing from the snack fund

Our office has one of those fancy coffee machines with the pods kept in a little cabinet under it. The coffee is free, but the snacks next to it are honor system, like 75 cents for chips, $1 for a granola bar, that kind of thing. For some reason the snack money box is also kept in that same cabinet. No idea why. Probably because nobody wants cash just sitting out on the counter. The cabinet door had been sagging for weeks and scraping against the frame every time someone opened it. I went to grab a pod and it made that awful wood on wood sound again. I had already had fixed something at home in the morning and was feeling productive so I decided to mess with it for two minutes. I used to fix random stuff at my old job so I thought okay, easy, I’ll tighten the hinge screws and become the quiet office hero. So I opened the cabinet, moved the snack fund box onto the counter so I could actually reach the hinge, and crouched down with a screwdriver. Which is exactly when our offic...

TIFU by correcting my teacher

I was in my class, and the teacher was telling us about pigments So, to give us a real idea, she decided to write the name of the pigments with their color. So, as a trick to remember them, she told us that they represented out country's flag tricolor(who could forget that right ?). Green, white, orange (I'm from india). But then i realized something. there was no orange, it was a yellow, like a crystal clear yellow to me. There must be no mistake, it is a yellow for sure. So, with full confidence , I blurted out "Mam! thats not an orange thats a yellow" She looked at me, amusingly, i was still confident, looked at her squarely feeling no shame at all or whatsoever. Just then, a girl spoke from back "NO that is an orange!" My confidence broke a little but i didnt budge, smiling. Now, my benchmate spoke"are you colorblind?" "No! i'm not" i replied The teacher smiled, and instantly got the yellow colour righ bes...
