TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU By Acting As My Own Attorney in Court

Divorced three years now and settled with alimony and child support and everything. I’m all paid up, all good. But now my ex is taking me to court to try and increase child support payments in case my income went up (it hasn’t). The other attorney is asking for three years of bank statements, tax returns, W2s, 1099s, credit cards, etc.

The first attorney I hired in my divorce case four years ago can’t be an attorney anymore, he is disbarred. Probably for good reason, he was a horrible person. The second attorney I called when this came up and they said she is no longer employed at Cordell and Cordell, the law firm I used. Makes sense, she was also not good. I set up an appointment with another attorney there and paid her $200 for the consultation. At the beginning of the Zoom meeting she checked twice to make sure my $200 was paid and when she found out it was she gave me some tips on what to say and said if I want to hire her it would be $2500. Well I don’t have $2500 so that’s not even an option. I told her I can’t afford that so she coached me through what to do during our consultation. It wasn’t exactly good coaching though, she told me to keep saying the requests were unduly broad and burdensome. I wrote those words down on my notes and circled it three times. I meant to Google what that entailed but forgot.

I tried doing what she said to do. I went to the law library and filed objections to everything and then today we had a hearing on the Motion to Compel.

Me(looks at notes): Your honor that’s unduly broad and burdensome

Judge: Why?

Me: Because Um (looks at notes) because it’s unduly broad and burdensome

Judge: okay you have the buzzwords down but that’s about it. Did you know you didn’t submit any evidence for this as requested?

Me: I’m sorry your honor, no, I didn’t submit anything, no

Judge: Why not?

Me: Unduly broad? And burdensome?

[Loud Gavel Noises]

Judge: I’m done with this, you have two weeks to get her everything she requested. Also I’m ordering you to pay half her attorney fees. Next!

They say he who acts as his own attorney has a fool for representation and for a client. You know what I say? Well that sounds unduly broad and burdensome 🤣

TL:DR Made a mess of court proceedings, kept saying the same buzzwords, lost in court because I acted as my own attorney and I am Big Dumb

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...
