TIFU by teaching survival skills to a church group

I feel really guilty atm.

I guess I didn’t see this FU coming, but boy, has it bit me in the ass.

I’m 30, former Army medic, reserves now. Also certified as an EMT and currently work in emergency medicine. I volunteer at church, mainly helping with the youth groups and doing outdoorsy sh- stuff, because I like it so much.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I hurt my back doing a lift by myself and had to take some time off from medicine, at about the time I was needed the most. I felt bad, and also knew that the teenagers I volunteer with were bored, confined, and not happy being stuck at home.

So I organized a weekly (outdoor! Safe!) class for them. Started out as properly distanced hikes, then as regulations eased, I started teaching survival skills and medical basics. Been doing that ever since. When the weather’s very bad, we stay inside and teach other life skills (my sister helps).

Now one of my best students is gone. I don’t mean dead, I mean literally gone. No one has seen her since 9 am this morning, and she took her camping and survival stuff. She’s not with friends. Apparently she’s been harming herself, parents found out, and she ran rather than face the music.

Here’s where I FU’ed. I taught her all of these survival skills, some self-defense, and even tips on how to hide from bears, people with bad intentions, etc. Most of the kids in my class can build a shelter, start fires with flint or a magnifying glass, stay somewhat warm, find their way, and identify and get food and water in nature. I even took groups hunting and winter camping!

I inadvertently made it a lot easier to run away, and might’ve even taught more than that, by showing how to make a more or less sterile field and treat injuries.

I’m an ass. I really messed this up.

TL;DR: Teach a class at church, accidentally taught a teenager how to run away “better”, avoid being found.

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...
