TIFU by helping a woman figure out her new car

Yesterday I was driving about 4 hours from my parents to my house and stopped for gas about halfway. When I was inside buying snacks I saw a woman standing in front of my car looking really confused. I asked the cashier if she had talked with the woman, and she said she was in the store a few minutes earlier but didn't say anything. I figure she needs something, so as I walk back to my car I ask how she's doing and she says she just got a brand new car and couldn't figure out how to open the gas tank door as "they moved the button." Naturally, I offer to help so I walk over to her car and start with the simplest thing - "Have you unlocked your doors yet?" She says yes and hands me her key fob, which I click unlock a few times and push on the gas tank door and it doesn't pop open. I then go through the next logical step and check the floor by the driver door and find it up by where the drivers left knee is. I pull it and show her how to use it by closing the tank door, and allowing her to do the full process. She thanks me, pulls the pump out and starts pumping gas. I go along my way and drive the rest of the way to my destination for about 2.5 hours.

As I get home and unload everything, I start emptying my pockets and take out my phone, wallet, car keys. There's something else still in my pocket and as I pull it out and look at it, I see a key fob I am completely unfamiliar with and my heart sinks. I realize I inadvertently put the key in my pocket as I need to use my hands to try and find where the button was to open the gas tank! I have never felt so guilty as I can only imagine this older woman has been stuck at a gas station unable to start her brand new car she just bought.

I immediately called the gas station and they said they had not heard from anyone that was unable to start their car. So I hope she either didn't turn the car off and was able to drive home, or that since she had just purchased the car she had both key fobs they gave her and was able to continue driving without issue.

Luckily since the car was brand new, the key I did have still has the dealership keychain piece on it with the name and phone number. I called and described the situation to the person in the service department and from my description of the woman, and the fact she had just bought the car, they know who she is. Obviously they cannot send me her personal information, so I have just dropped the key in the mailbox to be sent to the dealership and they will return the key to her directly.

I will be including my phone# and a written apology, and will be offering to pay for any service fee she may have incurred if she was unable to drive the car and had to have it towed home.

This is easily the biggest TIFU moment of my life and I will never forget it.

TL;DR - A woman at a gas station didn't know how to open the gas tank cover. When I offered to help she handed me her keys to check if the doors are locked and I inadvertently left with them in my pocket.

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...
