TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by faking an Indian accent for 3 years

I've been debating making this post for a while now. It's late for me as I write this and I've got nothing better to do anyways, so here goes.

I am of Indian ethnicity. I didn't grow up in India, but have been living here since 2017, and plan on living here for the next few years as well.

I started university here, and thought it would be funny if I did an Indian accent for a semester and reverted back to the way I speak normally in the second semester as if nothing had happened*. Unfortunately, when the second semester started, I was initially sick for the first few weeks, and stayed inside without interacting with many people.

And then the world went into lockdown and we got sent home, where I have been finishing university.

Over the past couple years I really haven't had to interact with people from my university much, faking an indian accent for a few moments when I had to speak in classes or for a couple hours whilst calling friends was no problem.

And here's where the fuck up starts. I met two of my closest friends in college. We've all been through a lot together, and I'm moving in with one of them later this year. I'm genuinely scared about how me telling him will be received- because faking an accent for a few hours is easy. Faking it 24/7 is not. I genuinely don't know what to tell my friends lol.

I've also fucked up because I was planning on leaving India by 2025, which I'm still on for. Unfortunately, the field I'm going to work in is a lot smaller than I had realized. Even globally, everyone knows someone who knows you. So I'll deal with that problem when it comes up.

Plan your pranks wisely, people.

*I speak a couple Indian languages (we have 22 official languages excluding dialects and smaller regional ones), and usually speak hindi with people, so working the pronounciation into the way I speak English wasn't a problem for me. When I mentioned to people that I grew up outside India they were genuinely surprised that I sounded like a native hindi speaker

TL;DR: thought faking an Indian accent in India would be funny for a semester in college. Ended up being way longer than that. Dug myself into a hole I'm too awkward to get out of now.

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...
