TIFU- Not attending my own birthday party

Back in 2017, my birthday fell on a Saturday (Jan. 28th). I was 22 and fresh out of college. My new career field meant that I was getting sleep deprived a bit having to transition out of the college sleep schedule and having to be up to work early.

So the Sunday before my birthday, dad asks if I can come over to the parents’ house. Me thinking it was important, I wasted no time to make the small trip over. Dad then mentions how my birthday is coming up, and asks if I’d like to throw a party in his man cave/shop building. I said “sure”, and he started instantly planning.

Well it just so happened that work was super busy, which meant I was working at home after hours, which meant I was losing sleep big time.

By the time Saturday rolled around, I couldn’t help but just take a ZzzQuil and just... sleep. One problem though, I forgot to plug in my phone to the charger the night before, so it will eventually die on me.

I remember waking up at 6 am-ish, and seeing that it’s still dark outside, so I just went back to sleep. I wake up again and I can tell it’s still morning, so I go back to sleep. I wake up sometime in what appeared to be the afternoon, I had a text from dad reminding me the party was tonight (phone was at 11% battery life). I thought “what the hell, I have time to get ready” so I go back to sleep.

I wake up again and it’s pitched black outside, I tried turning on my phone, but it was dead. I plug my phone in and wait for it to power on. I go to shower and get ready for the party in the meantime. Finally my phone powers on and I see the time is 1:30... AM. I missed all sorts of calls and texts from friends and family, including dad, wondering where I was at.

I decided I’d swing by anyways to see if there was anyone still hanging around in the shop, which to my surprise there was... well sort of. The people (my cousins) still hanging around we’re already passed out on the couches, mom and dad had already called it a night.

The cousins wake up and ridicule me a bit for ghosting my own party. I asked first and foremost who all showed up, the one cousin mentions the grandparents had shown up, but left after a while and just left cards on the table.

The one cousin mentions that friends and neighbors even stopped by, and after a while the party got this feel where everyone pretty much realized I wasn’t making an appearance. For a while the tone of the party came off as awkward to the guests.

My dad then announced to the party “well the birthday boy isn’t answering his phone, is anyone sober enough to drive to bang on his door?”

The guests look around, but they were clearly uncomfortable with driving after being under the influence (good on them!)

Dad then makes a last ditch announcement: “does anyone here feel like getting a DD to go and check on birthday boy??”

The guests don’t even have a bodily reaction, almost as if the collective were on the fence about checking in on me, but in their defense I’m a 15-20 minute drive away.

My dad then makes one last announcement: “if birthday boy thinks he’s too cool for us, then that means one less mouth sucking down the beer. Drink up, kids!”

So the party went on without me, and apparently it was a thrill of a time, but sadly birthday boy missed his own party. One little silver lining from this, was I had one birthday beer (they killed three thirty packs!) with my cousins.

I was upset a bit, even a little mopey that I missed my own party, but at the same time I can’t just shoot myself in the leg, and expect to be mad at the results.

The next day... orrr I guess the same day just when the sun was up, dad happened to be visibly upset with me not showing up, so I explained to him what had happened. Which made him have a bit more of an understanding, but he he told me that I should’ve asked for the party to be moved to a later date or just have no party at all.

TL;DR: my friends, family, and neighbors, had a party for me, but I slept through it. I only got to enjoy the day with the cousins who crashed in the shop, and dad was upset that I ghosted something he put time and effort into.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
