TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU By calling out my mom, and probably hurting our waitress' feelings

This happened last week.

My mom is a stage 4 kidney cancer survivor. She's been in remission for 10 years, but a few weeks ago, a small cyst came back as cancerous after testing. She's in the process of going through all of her tests and scans and we'll learn a lot more next week.

To keep her mind off of it on a difficult day, my family took her out for breakfast. We had decided on our meals, but were debating whether or not to get these cinnamon puffs as a starter. We had a really friendly waitress, and we asker her opinion.

Me: "How are the cinnamon puffs?"

Waitress: "Oh they are an addiction, they are so good!"

Mom: "I can tell!"

Me inside: WTF Mom?!

Me outside: "Ok, yeah! We'll take an order of those"

I wait 10 seconds or so for the waitress to leave our table before calling out my mom.

Me: "Mom! Were you calling our waitress fat?!"

My partners face goes as wide eyed as I've ever seen, you know a shut UP! face. Partner in hushed voice, moving her mouth as little as possible, still with the face: "She's at the register 2 feet behind you!"

So yeah, pretty positive she heard me making a bad situation even worse. My mom explained that she didn't mean it as a fat comment whatsoever, and meant she could tell because lot's of people had them at their tables. After all of this, I couldn't decide if I should just actively apologize if the waitress heard, or if there was a chance she didn't hear. Ultimately decided a 30% tip was the best way to say sorry if she had heard, and a pleasant surprise if she hadn't.

tl;dr: Thought my mom was calling our waitress fat, called my mom out, and the waitress was standing right behind me. Left a generous tip as an apology.

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...
