TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by dumping water in a sink at PetsMart

TLDR; I dumped water out causing one of the employees to have to redo a bunch of work she was half way done with

I volunteer with a rescue that adopts cats out of a PetsMart. As a volunteer I go in a couple days a week to scoop litter boxes, change out the water dishes, give some canned food & love to the kitties.

Before anyone asks, I only go a couple times a week, but volunteers go in twice daily to make sure all the kitties are well cared for.

As part of the process, we dump out the old water into a pitcher, wipe down the bowls, then put in fresh water from a Brita filter. When we're wrapping up the cleaning we take the pitcher & filter back to the employee area to dump the old water & refill from the sink they have in the back.

The employees recognize us as we're there on regular days/times, so we see each other frequently. On this day when I go into the back, there's one of the PetsMart workers at the sink (which is pretty big) I pull up next to her and give her a greeting as I dump the water out.

She was initially smiling, then her face dropped. She stares then says "Great! Now I have to do all these over again!"

Turns out she was washing dishes from the small animal quarantine area. Animals with known infectious diseases that can't be sold and have to be specially cared for until they recover. Every bowl has to go through a special sterilization process to ensure there's no chance of spreading any diseases. When I dumped the water it can create splashes, which may have contaminated between the "clean" and not clean side even though I poured on the empty side (plus the possibility that the cat water may have something that could be transferred).

I apologized profusely and still feel terrible. She had to dump all the basins and refill with fresh sterilization solution, then go over every piece individually again creating a ton of work for her.

If you read this, as a volunteer I did you wrong! I'm still sorry I caused you work!

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...

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 having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...
