TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by playing music on Amazon Alexa for my kids and ruining my husband's great aunt's burial.

Tl;dr by accident I made my husbands loud speaker blast "what you know bout rollin down in the deep", five times, while his aunt's casket was being lowered into the ground.

Outside of typical tifu fashion, this actually just happened and now I'm terrified to see my in laws again.

Our house has been an absolute WRECK ever since Christmas and today I decided to remedy that. My husband on the otherhand had to attend the funeral of his great Aunt who just passed from covid (the second great aunt in a month).

I'm in my grind and my teenage attitude 6 year old is whining because she is just sooooooo bored and doesn't want to play with her 2yr old brother or watch tv or play with the million other things she got over the holidays.

I'm elbows deep in the dirty dish mountain and I've had enough and ask what she wants me to do about her severe boredom. She says she wants to listen to music, specifically one song that she has been obsessed with recently.

It seems no matter how old your kid is, the tiktok and youtube videos invade their lives. I've just resigned myself to keep an eye and keep out anything graphic or vulgar. Those videos are where this song comes from.

Anyways, I typically connect my phone via bluetooth to alexa at our house because she is technically connected to my husband's amazon account which does wonky things on his phone sometimes when I just use voice control and he's not home. This time I said screw it because I didn't feel like washing and drying my hands to connect to bluetooth, etc.

"Alexa, play Astronaut in the Ocean!!!!!!" I scream so that b*tch will hear and correctly understand me. Song starts playing, and right after the first drop of "what you know about rollin down in the deep, when your brain goes numb" the song cuts off.

Damn. So I yell for her to play it again. Same thing happens. Then again. And a final time for good measure. No dice. Wth?

I give up and resign myself to turn on my bluetooth, continue with my dishes, and go about my other cleaning in semi peace.

Not too long after, my husband gives me a call. He's on the way home and seems a little bit upset/annoyed. I ask what's wrong because he knew his aunt but wasn't in any way close with her. He just simply asked "did you all enjoy your dance party?"

Weird of him to ask post funeral but "yeah it kept the kids occupied while I was....." OH. MY GOD.

One of those wonky things alexa does that didn't cross my mind is sometimes instead of playing music out of her own speaker when asked, she will play it out of his phone.

His phone was connected to a wireless bluetooth speaker that was in our car temporarily because our speakers are having an electrical issue. He often leaves a window or two down in the car. The burial plot was near the drive area where our car happened to be parked.

"WHAT YOU KNOW BOUT ROLLIN DOWN IN THE DEEP" blasted MULTIPLE TIMES while her casket was being lowered into the ground. Each time he stopped it, it would start again immediately... FIVE TIMES.

His grandmother and father cried and he got majorly bitched at.

Everyone understands it was a very unfortunate timing mistake but they're still not very happy about it.

I guess I'm going to have to go live under a rock now. Wish me luck.

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...
