TIFU - I accidentally let my SIL that my Trekkie brother gave my new nephew a fandom name

If I get caught I get caught...this is too funny not to share.

My parents and me finally got to meet my 8-month-old nephew in-person over the holidays when my brother (Sam) and his wife visited. It was a big deal because they hadn't traveled at all during the height of the pandemic, and we'd only interacted over video chat.

SIL's father died a couple of years ago, so she asked Sam if they could name the baby "James" after him. Sam said yes, but asked if he could choose the middle name. SIL said yes as long as she had right of refusal in case she hated it, but when he said he wanted the middle name to be "Kirk" she thought that was nice and agreed.

Sam is a HUGE Star Trek fan, super into all things Star Trek. My SIL isn't interested AT ALL, and just rolls her eyes if he goes on too long about it. A couple hours after they arrived we were all sitting in the living room, and while I was playing with my nephew I said to SIL, laughing, "I can't believe you let Sam name him after Captain Kirk!"

She stared at me blankly for a second while Sam looked like a deer caught in the headlights, then I saw her expression change and her mouth go all tight. Whoops - apparently she hadn't made the connection. My mother tactfully changed the subject, but later we heard SIL upstairs yelling at Sam. My father said to me, "You just had to let it slip, didn't you?"

I felt this was unjust - sure, Kirk is an actual first name, but is it really possible in this day and age not to hear "James Kirk" and think of Star Trek, even if you're not a fan??

TL;DR My brother gave his son a name from a fandom he loves and I mentioned it to his wife, not realizing she didn’t know and causing a fight.

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...
