TIFUpdate - Two years on - Prank on my son went wrong

Just over two years ago, a well planned, elaborate prank on my son Josh went disastrously wrong. The original post is here - it's not very safe for work.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/esbpua/tifu_by_pranking_my_son

A few weeks ago it was my son's 16th birthday, and, as expected he pranked me. Nothing as tortuous as I did to him, however I think it's safe to say the prank war is over. He uploads his pranks to tik-tok, so I won't spoil it, perhaps you'll see it there.

I'll answer a few questions that were in my inbox as a way of updating. If anyone has anything else they'd like to ask, I'll attempt to answer them here.

What happened to the video footage? The digital footage that was recorded by the production company was deleted under the supervision of an off duty magistrate. I was not present at the time.

What happened to Josh's friend? After speaking to his friend, I had to tell his parents what happened. I did this before the production company were obliged to. Mostly his parents were confused and angry at me. Josh's friend and his family spent a lot of time with a counsellor provided by and paid for by the production company.

What was the name of the TV show? For legal reasons, and to protect my family's privacy, I don't wish to give the name of the show.

How has your relationship with your sons' been affected? I think overall, very positively. We are a very tight-knit family, that support each other, listen to one another and genuinely care for and appreciate each others failures and successes. Sometimes Blake makes jokes at Josh about what happened on the rare occasion they argue, and every now an then there's a fire to put out.

How did the TV company support you? The production company offered counselling, therapy, accepted all legal and production costs and offered my family a trip to Universal in the US. I haven't spoken to the production company for over eighteen months.

Did I ever prank Josh again? I've been on the receiving end of pranks for a couple of years and haven't pranked him back - quite honestly, I've been scared too. Because I haven't done anything back to him, Josh thinks I'm planning something big. Blake, inappropriately, taunts Josh with wise-cracks that I'm planning on interrupting his wedding night with a whole movie crew.

Doors get very loudly knocked in my house.

TL;DR - Pranked my son two years ago. Update.

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...
