TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by Having the Cops Called on Me for Feeling Lonely and Crying

This happened last Saturday. I've been having a tough year. My father passed away; I have a host of medical issues; laid off seven months ago and can't even get any interviews as I work in tech sales, which is a blood bath right now; my girlfriend recently broke up with me; and I've been feeling very lonely the past few months.

I live in the downtown area in my city and right across where I live is a condo that is notorious for having loud and crazy parties. I've seen some wild things. This Saturday, while feeling particularly lonely, I was trying to keep myself occupied before feeling tired by cleaning my place. I could hear people laughing and yelling. I wished I could be around others, drinking, laughing, and for one night forgetting about everything I was going through.

When I was done cleaning I showered and went out on the balcony to have a drink before going to bed. I noticed that the laughing and yelling was coming from a unit directly across from me. It was a small group. They weren't doing anything crazy. Just sitting around, drinking, and enjoying their time. While there's at least a few parties every weekend at this condo, something hit me hard about this. I started tearing up while on the balcony and crying. I had no clue how loud I was crying. This was around 11pm.

I wasn't able to sleep and was in bed reading. Just before 1am I heard a knock at my door. It freaked me out. Who the hell would be knocking at my door at this time. They knocked again. I went out and couldn't see anyone through the peephole. I asked who was there and heard a voice say '[city I live in], police.' I almost felt calm because I knew I hadn't done anything. Maybe they were at the wrong door. I opened the door and they asked if everything was okay and if they could come in. They also had two EMS people with them. Confused, I said sure. We sat in my living room and they told me someone in the building had heard crying and called them to check up on me to make sure I was okay. After asking a bunch of questions, like I had taken any drugs or alcohol, they wanted to know what was going on. I told them and while doing so I was teary eyed again. They told EMS that they could leave and the cops stayed around for a bit more. These two cops, who were probably younger than I am, were incredibly kind. For a good half-hour we just talked. One said he was part of a flag football team that I should check out. Eventually they left.

The day after, while taking out the garbage, I ran into two of my neighbors. We usually do the obligatory 'hey, how are things' and this time they both avoided me like the plague. I live in a small building where everyone knows each other and since this incident everyone just completely ignores me, which is not usual at all. This Thursday I got a letter outside my door from management telling me how I need to be mindful of my neighbors. So yeah, the entire building now thinks I have some mental health issues.

TL;DR: I was feeling lonely on a Saturday night and seeing a party across the street resulted in me breaking down and crying. One of the neighbors in my building called the cops and now my entire building thinks I'm crazy.

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...
