TIFU by unintentionally telling a cleaner she was going to die

Our office enjoys a good immature joke, but I didn't expect it to go this far.

A co-worker with a great sense of humor tested positive at home and called to say he was coming to pick up his stuff from his desk, and that he'd mask up etc. Quickly before he came, I created a sign for his door with the words:

THIS OFFICE IS INFECTED WITH COVID. IF YOU STEP INSIDE YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO DIE.

To make it extra ridiculous, I included a clip art-esque image of a happy smiling skeleton peeking out from behind a casket lid.

He came in to collect his stuff, he laughed and asked, "Who the fuck made that crazy thing?" and collected his stuff. Hours later, I put the sign on his desk, facing away from the corridor (you'd need to be behind his desk to see it).

That was last Friday. Fast forward to this week...

On Monday, our office manager notices nothing was cleaned/trash wasn't emptied on Friday. She thought nothing of it, we value the building's cleaning staff and she figured the lady must have been sick and taken Friday off. No big deal.

For context, we are one down from the top floor of the building, and the cleaner typically goes top-to-bottom. There's five floors beneath us.

Hours later, the cleaning company boss walks in, interrupting his vacation time off, to come in and see us.

He asks about the "Covid situation" in the office, and says he was told our office had been declared "contaminated" by the local health authority, with "fatal covid".

Turns out the cleaning lady saw the sign on Friday, burst into tears, locked her cart away and ran home having only cleaned one floor of the building. She then spent all weekend upset and in tears thinking she was going to die. She told the boss Friday who missed the message and when he reached out to her Monday, she announced she's refusing to come back to work because of the "contamination".

She believed my sign was an official sign from the local health authority, which is totally beyond me, because the wording was ridiculous and the clip art picture of the smiling skeleton in the coffin couldn't have made it any more obvious it was tongue-in-cheek. If I'd added the local government logo then perhaps I'd be to blame, but I didn't.

The boss was shown the sign and agreed it wasn't real, but did ask we don't do "things like that" any more, as it scares people.

He now has a staff member who walked off the job Friday, spent all weekend upset about her impending death, and is refusing to come back to work.

I felt pretty bad, but can't feel bad for her stupidity. Either way, I fucked up!

TL;DR - I put up a joke sign about guaranteed death due to Covid in our office, and a cleaning lady took it seriously and walked off the job.

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...
