TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU By not putting the pin in the hitch.

Yey! Long weekend! Let’s go play! Or, so we thought...

So here I am getting all of the toys and equipment ready to go play, all 20k lbs of it. After a super long day at work I came home and got the hitch equipment together and hooked everything up to the truck. I have one of those super hitches with an extension to clear the cab over camper. By the time I was done hooking everything to the truck it was late I was tired so I cleaned up, slid the ball into the end of the extension then headed inside.

The next day...

Come home around noon, put the last minute stuff in the camper, hooked up the trailer, loaded the kiddos and the doggos, and off we went!

Until, the first intersection. Light turns green I hit the throttle and then a little bump in the middle of the intersection.

 !!!!!!BAM!!!!!! 

The ball falls out of the end of the extension in the middle of the intersection. It’s one of those B&W adjustable drop balls. The chains were crossed and helped girdle the whole mess. The the bottom of the drop and the 1 5/16” ball took the brunt of everything. So here I am now directly in front of the PD with this giant gouge down the road and the trailer is now sitting on the ground. The trailer has a turn down jack so that’s not going to work...

I grab the high lift off my crawler, jacked up the trailer, set the trailer jack, unhooked everything, turned the rig around and headed back to HQ for a pin. Ran back to the trailer, hooked back up and then we were off!!

Perfect start to the trip...lol I’m such an idiot ha! No one got hurt and I was able to fix my mistake myself and sometimes that’s just part of the journey. We’re all safe and now enjoying ourselves and hope you all are too! Thanks for reading!

TL;DR I was super tired and forgot to put the pin in the ball. Trailer hit the ground in front of the PD. Jacked everything back up and was able to re-pin and go. Sorry for the damage to the road!!

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...
