TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU...Laughed at my supervisor's new idea!

Well, this happened about 30min ago; so I did what all good Redditors do...created a throwaway account and write about it.

I was in a staff meeting, via Zoom, with my supervisor, a couple of colleagues who are at the same level as me, and then a handful of people we supervise. The job or field isn't important.

In the meeting, my colleague says she created a new system of reporting and that it's going great. She loves how convenient it is and how it allows instant feedback. Our supervisor agrees and thinks it's truly awesome. I, wasn't really paying attention, feign interest and ask what the system is. My colleague says it a Google form and then goes into how cool the reporting system is and asks what I think of it. Without thinking I left out a laugh. Not a chuckle. But a full on laugh.

Our supervisor asks what's so funny. I try to play it off but can't pull off a lie. I say it's the same thing I did over a year ago and no one liked it so I scrapped it. My supervisor says, she doesn't remember it but does remember another reporting system I did but, in her eyes it wasn't the same. I said yes, I did the different one after all the push back I received from the Google form. Then when both systems received a lot of push back, I stopped trying.

My supervisor says something along the lines of "well we can talk about this later". I said nothing because I thought she wanted to get the last word. After a few seconds she says, "Ok, 'supervisor' let's talk tomorrow". I said something like "yes let's talk tomorrow, sorry I was getting a drink".

Normally, I wouldn't be too worried, but my supervisor, whom I used to respect, is not a good leader or supervisor. She welcomes triangulation. She treats women better than men. She selectively remembers ideas. She welcomes over-functioning and working in someone else's lane. She gives half directions and chastises when things aren't done the way she thinks they should be done. Plus, she's "write up" happy.

I used to like my job. I used to respect my supervisor. I need a new job.

TLDR: In a meeting with my supervisor, I laughed at her "new idea" which was my shot-down idea from 18 months earlier

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...
