TIFU by legally changing my name into a racial slur

My (adoptive) parents raised since I was maybe 3 years old. Since my bio-mom named me, my surname is different from my parents. I've always felt a little weird about not having the same last name, so I decided I would change it. In the midst of changing my last name, I fell in love with my (now) husband. I knew I would be taking his last name, so I made the decision to take my parent's last name as my middle name. My last name would be my husband's name.

I told my husband my plan and he was fully on board. We had SEVERAL conversations about my new name. This man said nothing.

So our wedding comes and goes. My husband watches me complete the paperwork and mail everything off. I am one of those weird people who likes to personalize everything (and my husband knows this), so I made a bunch of purchases with my new initials. I was most excited about my sunhat, which had my new initials on it in bold block letters. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: Honey, you like my new hat?

Him: Is this a joke?

Me: No. I bought it for our honeymoon. Why are you upset?

Him: Your hat says "YID".

Me: Yes...those are my initials.

Him: (Complete silence, then laughter).

Between fits of laughter, my husband pulled me aside and explained that "Yid" is a derogatory term that is used to refer to Jews. I had unknowingly taken a picture of me in the hat to announce my name change and sent it to my parents (they were thrilled) and my mother in law...who is Jewish. I'm Black and outside of my husband's family/friends I don't know any people who are Jewish. And his family practices. My husband thinks it's hilarious. And I probably would too if I hadn't spent all that money getting my initials put on things.

​

TL;dr: My Jewish husband let me change my name but didn't inform me of the consequences. Now my initials spell out the Jewish version of the "N" word and my initials are everywhere.

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...
