TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by nearly giving myself a staph infection

So I spent most of the day today in Urgent Care. Three days ago, I noticed that the lymph node on my right side was swollen and tender. I've never had this happen before from colds or any sort of sickness, so I was a little worried, but my mom who I've been visiting the last month caught the sickness a couple weeks, so I thought maybe it was just my body fighting it off (with the aid of the vax).

The next day, I noticed the swelling was still there, as well as a little addition to it in my face, sort of behind my cheek bone area. Starting to panic a little more, I took an Allegra and a paracetamol and iced and hot packed the area throughout the day as it was tender and turning my head to the left hurt some.

Well this morning I woke up with a nodule on my neck. I went into full anxiety mode, thinking of all the things it could be (my dad died when I was young so I had all those sorts of things running through my head). Went to the hospital and waited for my turn -3 hours- and told the doc what was going on.

He did his check and started asking about all my piercings. I have an industrial bar and three lobe piercings on one side, and an upper cartilage, inner cochlear, and three lobe piercings on the right, so I thought he was just making small talk. I had gotten new studs for the top lobes last week, and admittedly they were cheap from Target, but I've never had a problem with cheap earrings beside a few crusties here and there that go away quickly enough. Turns out that the earrings gave me a horrible infection and the swelling and nodule was my body trying to drain the infection. I'm now on a ten day course of strong antibiotics because he said it was quite bad and would likely have turned into a staph I fection in a few more days.

TL;DR: Nearly gave myself a staph infection from crappy earrings and from now on, only stainless steel or sterling silver will be touching my ears.

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...
