TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU. Nearly put an old man through the windscreen of the car while on a test drive.

Actually happened yesterday still dealing with the aftermath. Been looking for a little automatic car for my partner for a while, a cheap banger that starts and stops. Found an ad on Facebook marketplace for a Suzuki wagon £500. Obviously gonna be crap but hey it had MOT and was cheap enough to spend money on repairs it might need. Met this old boy at his house, he drives us out and I drive back, partner in the back. He's chatting shit the whole drive, proper del boy he's 64 years old. I'm trying to listen to the engine and gear changes, he won't shut up. I drive it back seems alright. Just as we are nearing the turn to his house he is still blathering on and I miss the turn for his road. He says 'quick pull in here and do a U-turn'. Well, I drive a manual normally and in my haste fully stamped on the brake pedal looking for a clutch. Old boy is not wearing a seatbelt. Old boy has bad legs from diabetes. He is smashed into the dash and his head hits the windscreen at around 25mph. The friendly old man act slips, understandable, he shouts. 'What the fuck did you fucking do, what is fucking wrong with you?' His eyes were bulging I actually thought he was going to choke me. I stammer that I was so sorry and asked if he was alright, he says 'Fuck off I'll walk back to the house'. Gets out, slams the bangers door so hard the car rocks and hobbles his way back the house. I am shook, my partner just stares at me mouth open. We trundle back to the house. He has gone inside and shut the door. We stay in the car not saying a word for about 2 minutes. He reappears and I say sorry again he doesn't even look at me, he asks my partner if she likes birds, and all of a sudden we are in his house and she is holding his fucking African Grey parrot. Then he says he has another surprise, follow him into the back garden. I honestly thought he was going to kill us both. No, he introduced us to his tortoise named Gazza. At this point I am overwhelmed by guilt and confusion, we go back to the kitchen and he asks for us to lay the money on the table. I snap to some sense and meakly ask my partner if she actually wanted the car, del boy glares at me, she sees this and says yeah it seems fine. He says he doesn't have the logbook. Right. Guilt made me put that money on that table. Well due to me nearly splitting his head open I didn't get a chance to look under the hood. Get the car back to the house and I look under the hood. For fucks sake. Absolutely no engine oil. Zip. Dry as a fucking nun. The engine casing is absolutely soaked in oil. The car has pissed itself at my horrendous driving. Start it up this morning the most horrendous squealing coming from the transmission. Blue smoke pouring out the back. Honestly don't know whether to scrap it or burn it. Turns out he buys loads cars from auction sites and sells them on to idiots like me.

TL;DR test drove old mans automatic car, stamped full force on the brake looking for the clutch, smashed him into the windscreen because he wasn't wearing seatbelt. Bought car from guilt turned out to be complete scrap.

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...
