TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU By Going to Sleep in My Own Bed.

So this happened two nights ago. I now have a concussion, but it does make a good story. Currently on lot's of pain meds.

Have you ever worried when falling asleep in your own bed that in the middle of the night someone might be in your home and bludgeon you over the head as soon as you were out?

Honestly, this has not ever been a concern of mine--until about 12:00 am last night. What changed? Well I was beaten with a blunt object in my sleep. That’s what changed.

It started as a pretty normal night, my wife and I went to sleep around 11:00 as usual. We settled in, spouse laying on her side cuddled up close to me and I on my back next to the wall with a CPAP mask on.

Just as I was really asleep...WHAM! Crack! ..pain! Something slammed hard right into my forehead. Liquid pouring over me cut through the fog of sleep combined with head trauma. Neither one of us knew what had happened in those first seconds.

Then reaching up in the dark for the object now laying on me, I had it! No burglar, earthquake or rabid bat on the loose. (We’ve had that last one before.) It was the CPAP machine.

We’d gone months without incident, but all we can figure is while cuddling in her sleep Becky must have become entangled in the air tube--then turned over on her back FAST. The result was a (barely) subsonic four pound block of plastic and water hurtling at my head.

Needless to say as someone with sleep issues already, it took quite some time before I was able to sleep again.

So here I am this morning, nursing one more concussion, and what were the risk factors this time? Sleeping in bed with my spouse while using a CPAP machine--a machine I now use solely because I’ve already had so many other concussions that I stop breathing at night without it.


So...where's the FU? How is this my fault? Well, everything above is true, but it's not the whole truth.

Here's the rest of the story:

It happens that my wife is weak on one side of her body due to a rare subset of MS. To help her out, we recently significantly lowered our bed and added a hadicap bar on my side of the bed in addition to the one already on hers. The rail on my side mounted to the wall. I built a deep hardwood shelf to put my CPAP on so the space would be clear for her movement. Put it up a couple of feet higher which makes for more freedom of movement without the tube laying flat. Fine so far.

I also stained this shelf and let it dry for a few days before use. Moved my CPAP to a newly made shelf on the wall about two weeks ago. First night of use, despite the drying time the machine was still sucking in stain fumes. Here's the FU. So, I flipped it around and moved it to the edge of the shelf.. No problem, we never tangle in the tube. Except--it eventually did happen as described above. The added height plus the placement of the machine right on the edge of the shelf were the perfect storm for one more concussion.

TLDR: Built new elevated shelf. Rearranged CPAP near the edge of the shelf. Wife gets entangled in her sleep and sends CPAP flying into my head for my, count them, twelfth concussion. And now I'm going down for a nap.

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...
