TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by flushing my only car key in the toilet

This happened just a few hours ago. I came home from work and went to the bathroom to take a piss. I flushed the toilet, turned toward the sink to wash my hands, and in that process my car's only key was ejected from my sweater's pocket and landed straight into the toilet as it was at peak flush.

I didn't have enough time to react and grab the key before it went down the drain. I saw it get swallowed and was mortified. I yelled many massive FUCKs and my wife banged on the door wondering if I was critically injured or something.

I desperately stuck my hand into the toilet drain to see if the key was miraculously stuck there. Obviously it wasn't. I live in an apartment building so I talked to the building management to ask if it's realistic to recover it. As I thought, it wasn't. Plus it was in the evening so maintenance staff are gone anyway.

I scrambled to figure out my options. My first instinct was to call my car dealership which is quite close to me, to ask how much it would cost to get a new key. They said it would be $200 but I would need to tow it there within an hour and a half to get it today. Luckily I told one of my best friends about this mishap and he recommended that I call an automotive locksmith instead. I did that, the guy wanted $200, and he came to me instead of getting a tow truck, so I saved at least $150. Plus he made me a spare key so I can have a backup in case I fuck up again in the future.

The other fuck up was that my toddler heard me yell FUCK many times and started to repeat it. Luckily he got over it quickly.

Basically this was a horrible TIFU but also a TIL. I learned that it's better to call an automotive locksmith than pay quite a lot more to tow your car to the dealership in such a shitty situation.

TL;DR - accidentally flushed the only copy of my car's keys down the toilet, my son learned a new curse word, but it ended up working out despite setting me back $200

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...

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 having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...
