TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by thinking I was the hulk

Obligatory this didn't happen today, it actually happened last November.

I live in South Africa where crime is pretty high and I work in a retail IT store.

So this guy and lady come into the store, all of the staff were pretty busy, and they look around pick up a R2500($140) router, walk around to the other side of the store, and the guy (who has a special harness built in under his shirt) puts the router under his shirt and jacket, and the 2 walk out.

I was walking to the front of the shop to check check something and I noticed his jacket looked a little bit square.

So as they walked out the store into the parking lot towards their getaway vehicle, I followed them to the front my shop and watched them. As he got about 4 cars away from their car I saw him put his hands behind his back to start removing the router.

As this happened I ran to them, grabbed the top of his shirt and jacket and pulled the router away from his back, ripping his shirt and jacket. The shirt hadn't ripped completely and the sound of the ripping made me feel strong, so I ripped the remainder of his shirt as well😂

He ran off and my colleagues ran after him, and the lady just stood there in absolute shock. (Forgot to mention they were both drunk)

By then the getaway driver realised what was happening and began reversing and driving away... This is where the TIFU happened...

Me feeling like the hulk now after ripping the guys shirt decide that I can take on the car...so I ran towards the car and kicked the door in with what was supposed to be the flat of my foot and then tried to punch the window out twice(The window didn't break). I actually kicked the door with my big toe only and punched the window with my little finger knuckle.

I ended up breaking off a piece of the side of my big toe and almost breaking off the head of my 5th metacarpal, and severing the tendon as well. So my pinky was completely loose.

All of this ended up costing R45000($2500) for surgery, plus the months of physiotherapy at around R15000($840), all so we didn't have to pay for a R2500($140) stolen router 😂

TL;DR : I thought I was a superhero and ended up breaking bones and paying dearly for it

After all of that physio, then tendon still got stuck and my pinky doesn't close all the way in. I'm still wearing a special hand thing to stretch the tendon as I can't afford to have another surgery to cut the tendon loose from the scar tissue 🙈

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...
