TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU By getting sober and deciding to go to a bar

For ten years I was a heroin addict. Several times when I tried to get clean, I would drink alcohol and I would always go back to drugs. This time, I decided to get totally clean from everything and really give it a shot. I got out of detox and started going to AA meetings.

After being in AA for about 2 months I started making some friends that were in the AA meetings with me. We were all pretty young and kind of still wanted to live the fun party life while at the same time, retaining our sobriety. So - we all decide to go out to a bar.

There I was, 60 days clean, in a bar with 200 people and riddled with an amount of anxiety that I would not wish on my worst enemy. My buddy and I started talking to a couple girls and I got the bright idea that I should go get them a couple drinks. I figured, hey that's what you do at a bar, right? Get a drink for a girl? As I walk back from the bar with two vodka sprites, I approach our newfound lady friends.

"Hey I got a couple drinks for you guys! Here ya go!"

As I hand them to the girls they take the drinks and sort of look at each other uncomfortably.

"uhhhh, we don't take drinks from random people? why don't you take them instead"

I started feeling myself break out into a cold sweat.

" oh no, I'm good. I am actually not drinking tonight, but don't worry, theres no drugs in them or anything, i swear!"

This was possibly the stupidest/ most non reassuring thing I could have said at the moment. It did not occur to me that I simply should have said that I was sober and didn't drink. The girls again, looked at me sideways.

"Ummm okay? well at the very least take a sip of them so that you can prove to us that theres no drugs in them" she said as she puts the drinks back in my hands

I start to panic

"uhhh uhhhh??" I say and look around the bar. At this exact moment my buddy walks over and sees me with two drinks in my hand. He had told me that the way to go at a bar when youre sober is to hold a sprite or coke in your hand, so he walks over and grabs a drink and is about to take a sip.

As he does this I set the other drink I had in my hand down and scream "NOOOOOO!!!!" and knock the drink out of his hand on the floor, as to not let him accidentally relapse on a sip of alcohol.

Our two newfound lady friends gasped and jumped back with a wide eyed look of horror I have never seen before in my life. They are at this point POSITIVE I had tried to drug them and just prevented my friend from ingesting said drugs.

They sprinted out of the bar and into the darkness like two young ladies escaping their certain death.

I think about this story now and laugh (a little over 2 years sober now). However, I remember going home that night and saying to myself. GOD am I going to be this awkward forever? Is THIS my life now?

TL;DR Made girls think I was preventing them from being drugged at a bar. Am a serial killer in warning stories that said girls surely tell their friends.

Spoiler alert: I am. and YES, it is!

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...
