TIFU when returning an Amazon package to Home Depot

This is a very recent TIFU, so I'm typing it out right now to make sure the relevant details get captured.

I was returning a monitor to Amazon today, which I'd usually do by way of printing out their return label, taping it to the side of my package, and dropping it off at my closest UPS or FedEx location. This time they gave me the option of taking it to my local Kohl's, closer than my post office, and the package I'm returning is relatively heavy so I decided to give it a try.

After packaging things up as per Amazon's instructions and loading the box into my car, I headed to Kohl's. Right away, I was greeted by a guy who clearly had somewhere to be making trips in and out of the store, carrying boxes from Kohl's to his UPS truck. This seemed to be the location. I stepped inside and was immediately greeted by a large sign displayed front and center:

"Amazon returns go to the Home Depot."

Okay, that sucks, but I'm not going to cause a scene here when it's clearly written front and center that you need to turn around, and they have plenty of shipping work going on right now.

The good news was that Home Depot was right down the road, so no skin off my back. I lugged the monitor back to my car and into the trunk. I took a trip down the street to Home Depot to inform them of my intentions, monitor in tow. The first woman I spoke to had trouble believing that Home Depot would accept Amazon returns. As politely as I could, I expressed my own incredulity but held firm that the sign had told me to take this monitor to Home Depot.

The manager was called out. I explained the same situation to her and was told firmly that there was no way that Home Depot was involved in this, either the purchase or return. I believed everything she said but was incredibly curious as to why Kohl's down the road had instructed me to take my return to Home Depot.

At this point, both I and the manager at Home Depot had the same idea to call our Kohl's to get to the bottom of things. I let her handle it since we had both dialed at the same time. She connected to Kohl's pretty quickly and had a short exchange, explaining what I'd told her about the package and asking why there would be a sign in front of Kohl's telling people to take Amazon returns to Home Depot. After a surprisingly brief interaction between them, she hung up.

Home Depot's manager explained it to me like this: Kohl's does have a sign out front explaining where to go. The sign reads:

"Amazon returns go to the Home Dept."

TL;DR: Tried returning an Amazon package to Home Depot that should have gone to Kohl's while misreading the sign "Amazon returns go to Home Dept." as "Amazon returns go to Home Depot."

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...
