TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by bringing my Boss a box of cereal instead of a bag of cocaine.

Obligatory this happened a few years ago, and sorry for bad formatting. I’m on mobile.

For backstory: A few years ago, I was a delivery driver and part time manager for a National pizza chain. My boss, Jack, was in the midst of a messy divorce, and missed work every now and then just because he couldn’t deal with the added stress.

On one of Jacks off days, while I was working an evening shift, I got a text from him.

J: “Can u get me golden grams?”

Weird request, maybe it’s a comfort food for him or something.

Me: “yeah. On a delivery right now, but I’ll get them after my next run.”

J: “cool. Let me know when you’re here”

So I finish up my deliveries I was on, head back to the shop, and let the manager on duty know that I had to run an errand for Jack, and that I’d be back. I run to the grocery store up the street from where Jack was staying. (He was living with another employee from the shop, through the divorce.)

Before I went in, I checked my phone to see 3 texts from Jack, and a missed call, all asking how much longer I’d be. Weird. It’s just some cereal, right? Calm down bro.

So I go in, obviously rushed to any watching eye, and pick up a box of Golden Grahams cereal. While I’m checking out, I text Jack letting him know I’d be by in a few minutes.

Again, still looking rushed at a grocery store, in my work uniform, picking up a single box of Golden Grahams cereal, during a busy time of day at a grocery store, I already feel pretty weird. But the weirdest was yet to come.

I get to my coworkers house where Jack was staying, and he’s already waiting outside, looking impatient as fuck, and an unfamiliar woman standing next to him, looking very eager about my arrival. I get out of my car, box of cereal in hand, and the conversation goes something like this:

Jack: “You got what I needed?”

Me: “Yes’sir. Right here.”

I hand him the box of cereal, and for a brief moment, amusement lit up his face. Like he found it funny that I actually brought him a box of fucking cereal at 6:30 in the evening.

Then he looks at me, deadpan.

Jack: “I think there was a bit of a miscommunication.”

Me: “what do you mean?”

Jack: “I meant cocaine.”

Well this little side quest for my boss just went sideways. I was dumbfounded. Sure, I knew where I could get some blow at this time, but I never told anyone that I knew that. Let alone my boss. And now here he is asking me for cocaine. WHAT?

I sputter, and stammer, caught completely off guard with that statement.

Me:”I- I- uh... I had no idea. I’ve never heard anyone refer to it as that... uh... I know a guy just give me a couple-“

Jack: “sigh Don’t worry about it. Just get back to work man.”

Me: “You sure, boss-man? I’m sure it wouldn’t take too long.”

Jack: “Just go on back to work.”

Me: “So do you still want the cereal?”

Jack: “Nah.. not really hungry. Besides, I hate this shit”

So he tosses me my box of Golden Grahams and as I’m walking back to my car, I hear the woman say “Man, what a fucking dunce. My guy just hit me back though.”

So I go back to the shop, kinda traumatized from being an absolute moron, and finish my shift. The next morning, I go to the mall to do some shopping for a friends birthday; and my phone rings. It’s Jack.

Me: “Hey, Jack. What’s going on?”

J: “Hey man, I just wanted to talk to you about last night.”

Me: “What do you mean, I brought you the wrong flavor of cereal, and you changed your mind after I offered to go get you the right one. Nothing really to talk about. Other than I’m kind of a dimwit.”

We shared a chuckle, and continued

J: “I actually want to thank you. You kept me from making a very bad decision, and I appreciate that. You’re a good kid.”

Me: “Well, I’m glad I could help. I know you’re dealing with a lot, and I just figured you wanted some comfort food or something. That’s why I didn’t ask any questions.”

J: “Well, onto the actual reason I called; I’m doing a performance review on you today, and I just wanted to go over how I scored you.”

Me: “oh? Lay into me then. Haha”

J: “Your numbers when running shift are running alongside my assistant managers numbers, and she’s been at this at this for a long time. Your driving metrics are the top of the store, you’ve been doing very well the last few months.”

Me: “Just doing my best, boss.”

J: “well, that being said, I’m going to be giving you a dollar pay raise on your manager hours, and a 50 cent pay increase on your driver hours, along with an extra 25 cents per delivery”

We all know that the raise was hush money, so it wasn’t exactly the worst FU I could make.

Tl;dr, brought my boss the wrong kind of Golden Grahams and got a nice raise because of it.

EDIT: Wowzers! My first reward! At least you didn’t spend that money on Golden Grams. But I would’ve bought Golden Grahams instead. Lmao

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...
