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 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...
