TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by trying to examine an abscess on my tonsils with a small crochet hook. (Graphic)

I have had pain on my tonsil for weeks, and I haven't been able to get in to see a doctor. I finally grabbed a flashlight and looked in my mouth. Then I grabbed a small crochet needle (the kind used for doilies) I had nearby, and sanitised it. I started poking the abscess just to get an idea of what was going on with it (I now know this was dumb as hell). To my absolute shock and horror, the hook slipped into the tonsil tissue and embedded. The more I tried pulling it out the more stuck it was getting and the deeper it was going into the tonsil. I panicked and twisted it a few times as well, which caused it the abscess to burst and blood to go everywhere. Still it wouldn't come out. After a few minutes of this I had a strong urge to swallow as my mouth was building up with saliva and I also have this reflex to swallow when I'm nervous, but I instantly had an intense jolt of fear when I realised that swallowing could potentially make the injury way worse (I would have had to close my mouth over the crochet needle and the swallowing process could have pulled the tonsil in a bad way). I started just letting the saliva drip all over me and tried to ignore that the best I could, but it fully freaked me out that I was stuck with my mouth open. I had to look myself in the eyes in the mirror and tell myself to stay strong and that it'd be okay. But I couldn't find a solution and I was frantic so I'd periodically freeze in place. I had to also weigh up if I should try calling an ambulance as the level of stuckness was becoming more clear. But I felt so embarrassed by that thought that I decided to just yank it out and deal with the consequences Maybe 8 minutes had passed and I decided dealing with the pain would be better than the unknown with it being stuck. I started pulling firmly and my tonsils started coming loose from the wall of my mouth, which of course disturbed tf out of me. It was an intense tugging sensation. Blood everywhere. I got it out and immediately fainted on my bedroom floor. Went to my bed and cried as I tried to process what the hell just happened. 11/10 idiot. Going to the doctor asap.

TL:DR Tried to investigate my tonsils with a crochet hook and it got very embedded into the tonsil wall. Had to yank it out with force, and then I passed out on the floor.

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...
