TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by calling my cousin's wife a gold digger and getting into a fist fight with my cousin who is in the special forces.

For context, I (25M) was just having a conversation with my Cousins wife (26F), who we'll call Kate, and my cousin (31M), who we'll call Isaac, for New Years morning over at his house. Isaac is a pretty rich guy who gets loads of hazard pay and has a really good salary because he's in the SASR (Australian equivalent of Navy SEALs or Green Berets).

We were talking about our jobs, and I was telling them about my latest experiences up at the Iron mines in Tom Price (A mining town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia), as I am a geologist. As I started telling them jokingly about a rumour I heard of me getting a bit of a pay bump (which I doubt is gonna happen, as I am not the most efficient worker to be honest), Kate just cut me off and said "Well, Isaac still is earning more than you." Causing both me and Isaac to look at each other with confusion, but I shrugged and continued, saying "Yeah, he does, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere right?" And that seemed to calm her down.

But as the conversation went on over the course of a few hours, no matter what the topic was she would always bring up how wealthy Isaac is, so I tried to keep my cool until she said "Maybe if you worked a bit harder and earned more money, more girls might be into you" Which made me say back, not in an angry, but a confused tone "Are you insinuating you only dated Isaac 'cos of his wallet?" And she retorted furiously and defensively, until Isaac joined her side and legitimately tried to punch me in the face for "Accusing my wife of being a gold digger", and because well, he's a trained fighter, he hit and it fucking hurt.

I, like the dumb testosterone fuelled bastard I am, threw a punch back at him. Obviously, he blocked it and threw me to the ground, pinning me to the floor before I could even react. He pinned me there until I calmed down enough and then let me go, telling me to leave the house and not come back until I have apologised.

UPDATE: Ok, so he just sent me a text, and he was apologising not for hitting me or anything, but for instinctively reaching for where his knife would usually be. I didn't even notice that myself, but he just literally asked to call and was saying sorry while fighting back tears for what he might have done to me if he was in his fatigues and gear. I forgave him, I know he didn't mean it and I know he would have stopped himself in time. I trust his training and that he would know when to stop.

Edit: To everyone getting fuming at him for even reflexively almost stabbin' me. I'm not mad at him and won't be pressing charges, he's about to resign his service anyway because he is horrifically traumatised from his service, so I understand why he was in that bad a mental state. I still love him as a cousin unconditionally, but that doesn't change my stance on the wife being a bitch. I didn't get hurt, so there's no point crying about it and causing him any more unnecessary pain or regret, he's already got enough.

TL;DR: I was at my cousin's house, talking, and then his wife said some weird shit about me being single cos I don't have money so I confusedly asked if she was a gold digger, and a fight between me and my special forces cousin ensued.

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...
