TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by cleaning my A/C air filter while having cancer.

Ok, this happened about 14hrs ago. Some background, it's summer here in Australia. Yesterday was 40c (104 in the old money) and NYE. Second piece of background info... I have a chronic form of Leukeamia that I'm in treatment for. No, it's ok! I'm not dying, at least not for a long time yet but it does make life pretty shit sometimes! It also means that because of treatment I have virtually NO immune system (Neutropenia)

Anyway, we went out to the movies yesterday and left the AC running as we have two dogs and a cat... One of the dogs is a husky. When we get home, the AC says it's on but it's a sauna inside. The husky is looking a little worse for wear. I go outside to check on the main unit and notice the motor and pipes are all iced over.

I figure it must be the filter inside. But surely not... We just moved into this house and it was noted on the inspection checklist that the filter was replaced.

Sure enough, the filter is black. I held it up to the light and no light shine through. Problem solved! Clean this bad boy off, wait for the unit to defrost and presto! We will have AC again.

I ran my finger along the filter and it was actually kinda slimy. I assumed it was from the humidity.

Brushed it all off and then rinsed it in the shower before putting it all back together to enjoy the cool air.

Fast forward to this morning, I wake up coughing my lungs up. Now, when you're neutropenic, you don't sit there and wonder what caused the cough, you get your arse to emergency and figure it out later.

So I here I sit in my little hospital room, my partner is anxious about what's happening and I'm being treated with empirical antibiotics and also for mold toxicity...

I just wanted cool air!

TL;DR Cleaned my AC filter and inhaled mold spores, I have cancer and no immune system landed in hospital the next morning.

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...
