TIFU: "Winning" the lottery, losing from friends and ending up worse off

Hey reddit, I didn't think I'll be seeing you here.

I want to bring people up to date first. I made this asccount to find legal advice over a situation I had about lottery winnings.

Me (22M) and 3 of my friends who I lived with Mark (25M) Luke (22M, now 23) and Abbie (22F) used to all buy tickets using our shared account of money and just chill to pass the time and gamble a little bit. It was a nice way to spend lockdown together and became a little bit of a tradition.

Luke, Mark and I decided to go out one night which Abbie decide to stay over with her girlfriend. The next day she became super distant from all of us which drew my suspicion.

These suspicions were right when Abbies girlfriend asked me what I'd do with my winnings.

That's when I posted on reddit for legal advice. The response was quite overwhelming at first. I posted it and expected a couple of responses after an hour but I came back with more than I bargined for. All of them seemed to be supportive of me getting legal advice and to take action on Abbie. So I started a plan in my head.

I confronted Mark and Luke about my plan. Luke seemed excited and appeared to have the same concerns that I have. Mark didn't want to be part of it for some reason, denying it and that we should just trust her. I mentioned that I might seek out legal advice to them to but I fully intened to confront Abbie about it.

So I did.

When we were all around dinner one day, I asked her what was up and if she won anything big that day. She seemed to bat it off at first but I then stupidly named dropped her girlfriend. I don't think ballistic is a strong enough word to describe what happened afterwards.

Name calling, things chucked, fork in the wall, it felt ages at the time but looking back everything happened in a split second. I shouted out I am going to get a lawyer before she left.

About an hour later she came back and collected some essentials and left. This was the last time I saw her.

I spoke to Luke and Mark some more after that and then went with Luke to talk to a proper, good lawyer about it. They are expensive.

3 days later all hell breaks loose.

Landlord wants us gone from the house in a month, citing distruptive behaviour and damages. Our explaining to him is futile, he wants us gone. I start looking for options for us 3 to move to when Mark breaks down.

He confronted Abbie the day after she became distant with his concerns about the winnings. She admitted the truth and gave him £80k to be quiet about it.

After some more arugements, Mark leaves for good. Down 2 people who I thought were friends.

Lawyer calls back and asks us to come in. States we have little to no case about the situation, he thinks out time is going to be wasted and its better to not persue. Stuipdly, we disagree. This lawyer must suck, reddit thinks we have a good chance, lets go to another one! Nope. Says the same thing, down even more money.

We both get kicked out the house by the Landlord, I can't support living by myself and I can't find a home that'll take me. I ended up selling a couple things to be able to stay in a hotel for a bit before I go couch hopping between my family and some friends.

Writing this on the long train back home. I just wish things panned out better. Makes me think, if I didn't go out that evening i'd be living in it. Now im back to what I was when I was 19. It's reminded me never to trust the internet.

TL;DR - Friend won lottery and I assumed she'd share. Didn't lost a lot of money and a friendgroup along the way

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...
