TIFU Trying to show a Co-worker a picture of me before my “Glow-Up”

TIFU So for context, I am mostly a straight guy, just couldn’t see myself in a relationship with a dude, doesn’t mean I don’t find them attractive though! So I’ll quite often do some windows shopping/chat to them even if it doesn’t go anywhere.

So the night before my shift I decide to redownload a couple dating apps, and after talking to a couple nice people (M and F) we exchange numbers and text on WhatsApp, the conversations sort of Peter out and die after we sort of exchange pictures and realise it wasn’t meant to be. I think nothing of it, delete the apps and move on with my evening; in my mind I assumed that the pictures that weren’t my own also disappeared with the apps being deleted. (Forgetting about WhatsApp saving images to my gallery for work reasons)

Flash forward to today and I work in a small space with two other coworkers, one of them is a newish starter and asks me some questions about my hair as I’m bald by choice. I have had a significant glow up In the past few years which included shaving my head, so I thought I would grab my old ID and Download a couple of my fitness pictures from about 4-5 years ago just to show her what I used to look like. Whilst we don’t speak much on shift, I appreciated the fact she was making an effort - so I was thinking “This is finally the shift where we break the ice and maybe I’ll learn a bit more about her too”

I knew I had my own nudes in my gallery and a whole bunch of garbage screenshots so to avoid any potential mishaps. So I made sure to take about 20-25 blank screenshots so that there was absolutely no way she could fat finger and accidentally swipe Left or right and see them.

So I hand her my ID first of all, and she’s dumbfounded! “Woah, that’s not you! You look like a completely different person”. Whilst she has the ID in both hands I go to show her my phone. But she assumes I’m passing it to her so in our sort of awkward fumble she grabs the top left of my iPhone……which just so happens to have the “back” key in that exact corner. I see my photo gallery zoom out and A moment of clarity happens…..Were I recognise a set of boobs & a penis framed perfectly along the top of the screen, due to the barrage of screenshots I took earlier and sheer luck. It had framed them perfectly across the top 3 rows of my gallery (Unintentionally putting it right in her eyesight). If I had pressed the screenshot button 10 more times or not had my gallery zoomed out, this wouldn’t of happened. This gallery was like the middle Aisle of Aldi….it had everything: boobs, girls asses, guys asses, guys dicks, vaginas all on show, and a couple of my own images too. All very small, but framed perfectly like a small set of bathroom tiles arranged to make a a small human Mosaic. You couldn’t quite tell sizes/imperfections but you could very easily see that it was..humans doing NSFW activities.

I go to pull my phone away but the damage is already done. She politely tells me to never show her a photo on my phone ever again and goes to the toilet. When she returns I profusely apologise, “No one comes to work to see that, I’m so sorry it was an accident”. Whilst I don’t try to explain that all of these photos aren’t me, she has no way to know. This girl has just been blasted by the equivalent of a Pinterest board of porn. I feel the energy in the room get awkward. So I leave it, we usually make coffees for each other for free when we finish our shifts. As my shift ends I ask her to make me a coffee before I go. She overcharges me, I don’t question it. I pay and sip my flat white in the rain knowing that this event will probably be spoken about in future without my Knowledge, if that’s in therapy or in a pub. I don’t get to know, but I just hope she doesn’t think the boobs are mine.

TL:DR Had a saucy night on dating apps. Didn’t completely clear out my phone afterwards. Accidentally barraged a coworker with my own, and other peoples nudes when trying to show her “how far I had come” in the past few years…..

to be honest that quote now has two different meanings.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
