TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by eating the one thing I hated most on earth for 4 months straight without realizing.

Not the most exciting story but I definitely felt very fucking stupid. Obligatory, happened beginning March of last year until about July.

So, I live in NYC in lower Manhattan. I’m also a very big fan of sandwiches as well as hot sauce. I have went to stores that exclusively sold hot sauce and was in heaven. Anyways, around when lockdowns started I happened to break up with my bodega. The nighttime deli man was an asshole and would try to charge me $1 for 4 ketchup packets when I bought a burger w/ fries. It’s crazy. So I started going to a new bodega. It was extremely clean, the staff was friendly, and the dude I went to always remembered key aspects of my order like “extra cheese” and “however much you think is a lot of hot sauce, put more.”

I went probably 8-10 times a week, twice a day, usually Monday/Friday. Always sandwiches, always extra cheese, always too much hot sauce. The thing is, there was just something about the sandwiches that tasted off. Not necessarily “bad” but just very different. I continued to go because of the customer service and because it just became a thing. Fast forward to the very last day that I went...

I was in the store and ordered my sandwich and got into a conversation with this beautiful woman. we talked about food choices and likes/dislikes. She mentioned she was a HUGE fan of hot sauce and it caught my full attention. We spent 2-3 minutes talking about hot sauce preferences and brands before she asked me what type of hot sauce do I not like. I told her I thought Sriracha shouldn’t be considered hot sauce and it’s absolutely terrible and I’ve never purposely asked for it except for the first two times I tried. Once to experiment, the second to verify that i hated it. Funny enough, the deli man hears this entire conversation. He follows up with a sentence that broke me emotionally.

“Bro, the only hot sauce we have is Sriracha. I’ve been putting it on all your sandwiches.” I just kinda stopped for a few seconds looking between the both of them with the most horrified expression. I felt so betrayed but I couldn’t be mad at HIM because I’ve never asked what kind of hot sauce they used. Deli man starts dying from laughter. The woman is looking at me like our entire conversation was a lie. I told him not to put any hot sauce on my sandwich he was making and left, never to return again. For no reason aside from shame and the fact that they only have sriracha.

Also, just to add... I specifically asked for Sriracha on a sandwich about 3 weeks ago and I hated the sandwich. So now I’m just at a loss to what happened. Not sure if this is some form of cognitive dissonance lol

TLDR: The one flavor I thought I hated more than nearly everything on the planet was put in all 100+ sandwiches I ate over a 4 month span. I barely noticed and feel like I don’t even know myself.

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...
