TIFU by leaving my wax burner on overnight, enabling my cat to get wax on his tail

I feel like a terrible cat parent. I have two wax burners, one in my bedroom and the other in my bathroom. I had a friend spending the night with me, and knowing my cat, he would try to sleep on top of her. So, I left him in my bathroom to sleep. This isn’t uncommon even when I don’t have guests, as he loves to sleep in my bathroom sink for some reason.

The wax burner I keep on the bathroom counter I usually turn off every night, but I guess in all the excitement of preparing for my guest, I forgot to turn off the burner before bed.

At around 6am I heard him crying so I let him out of the bathroom, but I didn’t think much of it and went back to sleep. A few hours later my alarm woke me up and the cat came over to greet me. That’s when I noticed his tail looked wet. Upon closer inspection, I realized his tail was covered in a hard waxy substance, as well as a small spot on his back. I look in my bathroom to see spilled wax all over the sink and floor and genuinely start sobbing. I called the emergency vet line and they told me to shave the cat it would cost me over $200, which I simply cannot afford right now. So I asked how I could remove it without shaving him, and they advised using some sort of oil to break down the wax and using a small comb to pull it out.

So, I spent the next 3 hours using a warm washcloth, a lice comb, a mix of olive and coconut oil and scissors to remove the wax from his tail and back. Luckily he wasn’t burned, just oily and very angry because I had to remove some fur from his back and nearly all the fur from his tail.

Fast forward to now, I gave him and wet wipe bath to remove the oil and he’s sleeping in his bed. I feel like I traumatized him by removing the wax and now he won’t trust me anymore.
Any comforting words would be very appreciated.

TL;DR: I left a wax burner on overnight and my cat dipped his tail in it, so I had to spend most of my morning using oils and scissors to remove it from his fur.

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...
