TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by beyond severely overcooking our dinner

Welp I'm a bonehead. Yesterday I told my wife I would cook us dinner the next day (today) so last night I put 4 absolutely gorgeous thick frozen pork chops In the fridge to defrost. I checked them this morning and they were perfect looking.

Tonight my wife sent me the recipe and it seemed pretty simple it was a dry rub consisting of salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and brown sugar. No problems there. I take a baking sheet and lay them out brush with oil and rub on the seasoning.

Oven is preheated to 375° and the directions are to bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temp is 140°f. I set the timer and once it goes off I check the temp with my digital thermometer nope only 75° somehow. Okay that's strange but they are pretty thick so I leave them in 10 more minutes. Timer goes off and I check the temp it's 85° how is that even possible? I figure turn up the heat to 400° and give it 10 more minutes. I check it again it's 95° I feel like I'm loosing my mind dinner should've been done 20 minutes ago and they're starting to look a little darker on the outside so I crank the oven to 425° and leave it in for 15 more minutes. 15 minutes go by and I check the temp it's only at 100° and they look crispy. I scratch my head for another minute until I look closer at the digital thermometer it was set for Celsius and not Fahrenheit. I press the button to switch the measurement and it says 212° Fahrenheit internal temp.

I overcooked our dinner to over 70° more than it needed to be. The pork chops were dry and crispy but still slightly delicious. Better believe next time I'm double checking what mode my thermometer is set for.

TLDR: TIFU but not realizing my meat thermometer was set for Celsius and not Fahrenheit causing our much awaited dinner to be beyond overcooked.

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...
