TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by accidentally bullying a guy until he left the bar

Years ago, I moved abroad to study and ended up staying there.

I often came back home and hung out either with my childhood friend (Anna) - who didn't go to the same school as me and had her own friends- or my family, amongst which my cousin (Julie), who I went to school with and with whom I had a lot of friends in common. When we were in school, Anna sometimes went with me to Julie's parties and she was familiar with our group of friends.

This happened in our early 30s. By then, I hadn't seen my cousin's friends in over a decade.

One night as I was out with Anna and her friends, at a nice terrace with food and drinks, this guy appeared and joined the group late. My jaw dropped: this was an old friend from school, Julie's best friend (and someone I had a crush on) and I hadn't seen him since I was 18.

Now this guy is very unusual looking and wears very distinctive glasses, tiny round frames. And his name is equally unusual (let's call him Napoleon). I recognised him at once. I turned to look at Anna, who also knows him, but she had gone to the bathroom.

I spring up from my my chair and say: "Napoleon!!" He says: "Yes?" with a confused expression. "It's me, OP! I can't believe you're here!" He looks at me confused and says "I'm sorry, do I know you?".

Now I'm confused.

"Napoleon, it's me, OP! Julie's cousin!"

When I saw his confused expression, I got a chill down my spine, because there's no way you can forget your best friend of 15 years like that. Just then, I realised that the girl beside him is his girlfriend. Except I heard from Julie that he got married. Anna comes back from the bathroom and immediately sees him and says: 'Oh! Napoleon! I haven't seen you in years! How are you?' 'I'm... fine..." he says.

And then I proceed to name every friend we had in common, the places we went, the school we attended, as Anna recounted the times we hung out, to try and jog his memory. We are all very, very confused. I'm getting freaked. I was basically harrassing him with memories like a doofus until he said: 'Oh, yes, of course...' and he turned pale. That's when I realised this guy was probably living a double life and I had just blown his cover (luckily I didn't ask where his wife was, I knew better than that!). Anna and I said we were happy to see him and left it at that, after a good 45 minute of us yelling names in his face and saying : 'don't you remember?!'.

Napoleon got really pale. He turned to his girlfriend and said: 'I don't feel well, I'm think I'm going to go home." He got up and left, and everyone said: 'Bye Napoleon, sorry you're feeling sick, see you next time."

I turned to his girlfriend and asked her if he was ok. Then I said: 'That was Napoleon, right?'. 'Yes'. 'Napoleon Lastname?' 'What?! No! Napoleon Totallydifferentlastname".

That's right. This was just some poor dude I'd never met before, who happened to look exactly like Napoleon, and happened to also be called Napoleon. And I harrassed him so badly I made him ill and go home on a saturday night.

The next day I found him on facebook and apologised profusely. He said I was so forceful that he began to doubt himself and was freaked out he didn't remember any of these people he supposedly spent years with.

"TL;DR" : I spent nearly an hour trying to convince this total stranger that I knew him, until he doubted himself and went home feeling sick.

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...
