TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by contacting an ex without knowing he was in a relationship

I feel like an absolute dimwit, to say the least.

Me and my ex broke up in March 2019, and he started dating my then-friend (we’ll call her Sarah) in July 2019. Since I was not over the guy and was stuck in a bad home situation, I did not deal with that well and dropped contact with both of them.

Fast forward to now, and I regret how things were left and I’m feeling nostalgic for the past. I message both of them and add them as a friend on Facebook. Both conversations are going well, and Sarah asks to be my friend. I accept. I ask my ex to be his friend. He accepts.

Well, the conversation continues and my ex briefly mentions that they’re still in a relationship, but Sarah only says that they’re “still in touch.” I say to Sarah that if it makes her uncomfortable, I’ll stop talking to him, since she said it upset her when I messaged him. I don’t want to cause a rift and I’m not a homewrecker. She agreed, so I messaged my ex saying that I no longer wished to speak with him out of respect for Sarah and their relationship. For context, I didn’t know they were in a relationship beforehand because Sarah’s profile didn’t have a relationship tag on them, and my ex’s is only visible when you add him as a friend, which I didn’t see until way too late.

My ex then said that it’s “not up to Sarah” if we stay in touch, and then he goes dark for a while. So does Sarah. After a few hours, I get a message back from Sarah saying that she no longer wishes to speak to me ever again and that I can talk to my ex as much as I want. She deletes her Facebook account.

I have no idea what happened, but I feel horrible. I shouldn’t have reached out to begin with. Disturbing their relationship was the last thing I wanted to do. I just wanted to clear the air and deal with old regrets from the past, but it looks like sometimes the past is better left in the past. It definitely was in my case.

TL;DR I messaged my ex without knowing he was still in a relationship with my ex-friend and ended up accidentally ruining their relationship as a result

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...
