TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by trying to teach my daughter how to save

This literally happened today, but of course context is king etc etc.

My (37M) daughter (3.5F) likes to buy things when we go out. If she sees something she likes, she'll ask us to get it for her, which is how we have 15 water bottles at home in different shades of pink and a bunch of random squeezy toys. Stems from a variety of reasons, but mainly mixed messages from all of us who care for her (I'm strict, my wife is moderate, my MIL swings between extremes)

As a first step, I decided to start her on an allowance, and she can't spend more than that. She understands the concept well enough, and she generally doesn't spend more than she's given; and if she forgets we gently remind her that she's spent her allowance and she needs to wait till next week, and she's not fussed.

But greedy me wanted more - I wanted to teach her to save (she tends to blast her full "allowance" at one shot, although it isn't very much to begin with). And telling her that whatever she doesn't spend this week rolls over to next week didn't bear any fruit. So I did the following:

1) I bought her a little piggy bank and labelled it "Daddy Bank"; 2) I put her "allowance" inside; and 3) I told her that whatever was left inside would be doubled the next week, as a form of "investment interest".

Today, I see her rummaging around her red packets (from Lunar New Year, this is Singapore), and wonder what she is up to. Next thing you know, she takes a whole wad of money and dumps it in the daddy bank, to invest and double. I thought she would leave maybe 2, 3 bucks inside. There is now 30+ inside that is awaiting doubling. Hoo boy. What have I done?

TL ; DR: tried to encourage my daughter to save via a "daddy bank", forgot about her extra funds, now on the hook for 10 times the amount I planned to give ger.

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...
