TIFU by making tea out of the world's most expensive spice

The FU had been going on for some time, but I only realised it just yesterday.

 

In the last couple of months, I've developed a habit of drinking at least one pot of tea every day. It started with plain green tea, chamomile tea, then black tea and lemon verbena. I've always enjoyed tea, but never consumed that much/so often.

 

About two weeks ago, I found a small tin in my parents' tea cabinet. It contained a maroon dry herb that had a light cardamom scent. "Interesting", I thought and prepared my teapot. The result was a tea with a beautiful deep red colour and a peppery taste. I liked it. Made some for my mother and she enjoyed it too. I asked her where she bought it from but she couldn't remember.

 

So for the last two weeks, I've been brewing the same herb every day (with the exception of a few times I made chamomile tea) and drinking this spicy hot beverage until yesterday, when I finally ran out of it. As I was washing the tin container, my sister walks into the kitchen.

 

Me: Do you know where we got that tea from?

Sis: What tea?

Me: The one that was in this tin.

Sis: Ummm... That was actually saffron, don't tell me you've drunk all of it as tea...

 

Apparently, we had saffron lying somewhere around the house for a couple of years which eventually dried up. My sister found it and put in the tea cabinet so that it would be more accessible.

 

Now, depending on where you're buying it from, saffron can cost somewhere between 3.500 to 10.000 USD per kg. If my calculations are correct, I brewed at least 40 grams of saffron, which - according to Google - could *optimistically* be sold for 170 to 340 USD in my country. For comparison, the most expensive green tea I could find is a high quality organic tea sold for 4 dollars per 100 grams.

 

For someone like me who has no expensive tastes, that amount of money came as a shock. At least my family could laugh about it and no one has asked me to replace it yet.

 

TL/DR: tried making some tea, ended up brewing the words most expensive spice.

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...
