TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU telling my spouse what I’ve doing wrong my entire life

I (39 M) kinda had an awakening of sorts. For starters, I go to the gym on occasion. Yet, I get discourage because for the amount of time I go, I never really saw any improvement. And when I walk around, I’d envy the guys who can bench press their own body weight, something I couldn’t do even when I was 180. Mostly because I couldn’t get comfortable bench pressing heavier weights. But on top of that, aside from my high school football coach showing us the basics, I never had a fitness or lifting trainer that demonstrated proper techniques of lifting.

Well, today as I was casually scrolling through the world of Reddit, I saw a video of a man bench pressing and having the bar fall on his chest with what looked like an incredible amount of weight on it.

I kept looking at the video over and over again and couldn’t figure out what he did wrong. Then I read the comments and someone pointed out that the lifter was using a “suicide grip” and not a “standard grip.”

When I read that, I immediately went “wait…there’s a different grip to bench pressing?” Another posted a picture of the difference of the two grips and…that’s when I realized that I’ve been using the suicide grip my entire life!

I immediately called my wife (42 F) and told her my discovery! I was thinking she was gonna laugh this off and call me a dumb ass…but she took it to a whole new level!

Her words were “Are you serious? How can you be so stupid! No…no…please…for the sake of any possible deities in this universe… are lying to me right now?”

When I told her its the truth and then explained what I learned and how this might be the reason why I never felt comfortable with heavier weights on the bench press…she went off on me again for what seemed like an eternity! With her ending “even I, a woman from Turkey, who goes to the gym 1/100th as much as you do, knows how to grip a bar properly! Everyone knows how to grip a bar, idiot!”

I asked her if she can show me even a little bit of support and encouragement on my new discovery, but the last thing she said “how can I support someone who is this stupid!?” Then hangs up on me.

Welp, guess I’ll just go to the gym now and try out this new form.

TLDR: found out I’ve been using a different grip while lifting my entire lifting life, shared it with my wife, and got ridiculed by her.

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...
