TIFU by letting a few coworkers at my new job think I’m a recovering alcoholic

So this actually did happen today!

I started my new job in the private sector today. Was really excited to start there as being in public in my field was so draining and tiring. Anyway, I went through the usual new hire processes. Showed up and was given a tour of the office, while being introduced to all my new coworkers. It’s a pretty small office, I’d say less than 50 people there.

After the introductions, I had my onboarding training and whatnot. During my training, I went to the break lounge to get myself some water and saw some of my new coworkers talking and decided to force myself to socialize and be a part of it (I’m a big introvert so I decided to go out of my way). They were about 4 or 5 of them having a chat and discussing another one of my coworkers, we’ll call them coworker X. They were all discussing how coworker X used to be an alcoholic and just hit a major milestone in their recovery by being sober for the last 6 years.

Now, I should mention a few things. One, I’m not that big of an alcohol drinker. I drink maybe once every few months, unless a situation I’m in calls for it or I’m in the mood. No health reasons why or anything like that. Just don’t like the taste of it or how heavy it feels in my belly. I also usually go a while without drinking alcoholic beverages too, sometimes 4 or so months. But at my age (late 20s), it’s hard to be social without with others in my age group without alcohol. And two, I like to challenge myself for no reason and just do random stuff to see if I can do it. Usually it involves how long I can go without doing so & so.

Anyway, back to the story. They were all discussing coworker X’s milestone of being sober for 6 years. And overhearing the discussion and trying to be social I go, “wow that’s impressive, I hope I can last that long!”. They all look at me with a sort of “uhhh I don’t know what to say to that” look. One of them ask me how long it’s been since I had a drink and I say “Barely a week, I got plastered last weekend cuz my buddy got engaged and we were celebrating”. I then get “I feel so sorry for him” and “oh honey” looks all around from them. They eventually disband and one of them tells me “Don’t worry you’ll make it to 6 years in no time” as they leave. It then hits me that they think I’m also a recovering alcoholic, & it’s too late to correct them otherwise.

TL;DR: I made a comment to a group of my new coworkers about how I want to also go 6 years without alcohol, like a recovering alcoholic coworker we have, and they think that I’m also a recovering alcoholic.

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...
