TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU deadlifting at the airport and almost getting my boyfriend detained by TSA

I've been a powerlifter for a few years now. Whenever I go traveling for significant periods of time, I generally take some lifting equipment with me, including squat shoes, lifting belt, gym chalk, and protein powder. I should add that I don't really look like a powerlifter. I have no visible muscle and weigh like 95 pounds at 5'3''.

So anyways my boyfriend and I are going through airport security, and he grabs me really rough and suddenly to get me out of the way of someone's swinging suitcase. I see TSA look at us a little more closely but don't think anything of it.

Then we get stopped because our bags contain chalk and protein powder, so they needed to go through our bags. Note I'm wearing a crop top, and I guess it came up a bit while my arms were raised while going through security. There's a couple large bruises above my abdomen where I brace against my lifting belt while deadlifting.

So the same TSA agent asks me to come with her, and once we're far enough away from everyone else, she asks me if I'm safe, if I'm being held against my will, and if there's someone she could call for me. I'm really confused and kind of nervous, but tell her nothing is wrong. She noted how my boyfriend had grabbed me earlier. I told her he was moving me out of the way of someone else's suitcase.

Then she mentions the bruise above my stomach. And I say "Oh, no worries. That's just belt marks."

She looks even more alarmed at that, and I think she called for backup. I hang out with so many gym rats that I forget normal people don't associate "belt" with lifting. The combination of random powders in my suitcase, plus the bruises, plus the grabbing had set off this woman's alarms, and I think she thought I was some kind of trafficking victim. I quickly realize my mistake, and try to explain that I'm a powerlifter, and the belt mark was from a lifting belt.

I don't think they quite bought this explanation at first, and I see a few more security agents approaching us, as well as my boyfriend. I'm a little panicked because I don't want to cause a scene or seem more suspicious when we had never actually done anything wrong. TSA lady tells me if I need help, just let her know and she would keep us separated. So my brilliant idea was to get into a deadlift position and deadlift my ~5 pound backpack. I don't really know what I was thinking, but thankfully at this point, TSA had finished testing the protein powder and chalk and had verified that it was not cocaine, so they let us go.

I told my boyfriend about this, and we're laughing about it now, but I think next time, we're not going to bring protein powder or chalk with us to the airport.

TL;DR: I deadlifted my backpack in the middle of airport security trying to prove I wasn't being abused or trafficked

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...

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 having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...
