TIFU: Learned a lesson about using Instacart

This fuck up wasn’t today, but was this past Saturday. Hard lesson learned, being lazy really didn’t pay off.

Before I start, let me first say, I accept that this is totally on me. I’m not blaming anyone, just sharing my experience, and my very recent eye opening regarding Instacart.

So, back in late 2018, I was recovering from Achilles surgery and started using Instacart for groceries. It was great, since trying to carry anything was not gonna happen on crutches. I’ve also never been a huge fan of grocery shopping, so this was a win-win for me. At the time, I didn’t think the charges and fees were that horrible.

Well, I’ve basically been doing this ever since then, and never really gave it much thought. I knew there were added fees and such, and over the years I had seen the increases and kinda just rolled with it.

So, this past weekend my GF was going to Aldi, which is where I usually shop, so I decided to tag along and grab some stuff. I almost immediately noticed the difference in prices of individual items, so I kept shopping for more stuff, nothing crazy just stuff I would normally order. Finished up, paid and went home. Spent about $71.00.

I sat down later that day, and took my receipt and made a mock order via Instacart. I added every single item I bought to my cart, and went all the way to the checkout stage. At that point, I almost choke from the shock. Once I added in my typical 20% tip, I felt absolutely nauseous. Taking an hour of my day on Saturday, to actually go to the grocery store, had saved me $50. Fifty fucking dollars. I honestly had no idea how expensive it had gotten, and now I feel kinda sick at the amount of money I’ve literally just thrown away.

TL;DR Learned the hard way that using IC on a regular basis meant I was spending almost double on my groceries.

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...
