TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU

So it actually was today that I fucked up. Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile. So today I (m28) decided to take my three kids out fishing with my Mom near a boat launch. All simple fun with the occasional messing around because the kids would end up snagged in a tree or on a log etc.

We had a few nibbles but no actual catching of fish and the kids were starting to lose their patience and getting bored of fishing. While all this was going on there was a boy probably around the age of 17 and his young nephew who was probably around 10 fishing from their boat that I had seen them messing around with and they were unable to start. They were tied off to the dock and we had some casual conversation about how they brought the boat out and it was the nephews dads but they weren’t able to get it started and so were waiting on the Mom to drive there to load it up on their trailer.

The Mom showed up after another hour or so and at this point my kids and mom had walked over to a nearby park as they were bored of fishing and I was cleaning up the left behind rods etc.

As I was finishing up their Mom had backed up the trailer into the water to load up the boat and they were trying to push and pull the boat by hand to get it on the trailer which she had parked at a very awkward angle. Basically you could tell they weren’t very experienced at the loading of the boat.

After a few minutes of watching them struggle I decided I should offer up my help and directed the Mom in backing up the trailer straight and hopping in the water to help line up the boat correctly and loading it on with the winch. I could visibly see the frustration in the mom’s face and hear it in her voice and kept assuring her it was no issue for the little bit of help I gave them. She then noted to me that it was usually her husband who would do the boat drop off and pickup and she had no experience doing it.

This is where I fucked up. I tend to have a problem where the minute a thought hits the brain it’s already sliding off the tip of my tongue. My dumbass then proceeded to joke saying; “well now you’re a badass at picking up the boat and won’t need your husband here ever again to do the job”. As soon as I said it I knew I said the wrong thing.her eyes got a watery look to them and she responded with “ my husband just passed recently and that’s why I’m stuck doing this”. Ugh I felt the color drain from my face and I squeaked out a “omg I’m so sorry to hear that” You could see her kid just stiffen up at the mention of his dads passing and so I helped them finish up in shame and quickly packed the rest of my things before meeting back up with my kids and my mom. I don’t think I’ll be forgetting this one for awhile and maybe next time I’ll learn to use my filter before speaking.

TL;DR I made a joke to a widow about not needing her recently passeds husband help ever again loading up their boat

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU while being spicy with my Gf

I 26M have a gf 22f. We enjoy sex with each other but wanted to spice it up as she wanted to try something new and I was all for it. She had me order cuffs, a blindfold, and a vibrating plug which I thought would be fun to try. I let her know when they arrived and a few days after they arrived she came over and we got ready. She had me out the cuffs on her and blind fold first before I did anything else, followed by getting the plug ready. I put what I thought was a good amount of lube on it as one does. Well sadly when I slowly put the plug in, it immediately went all the way in as off it was just sucked in followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHGHHHHH” which my dumbass at first thought “Oh she must really like it!” Until i realized it was from pain. I started panicking for a second then realized she was in pain, blind folded, and handcuffed. When I asked if she wanted me to take them off she said no and just sat there for about another 5 minutes. It didn’t completely ruin our spicey t...

TIFU by not getting visual confirmation on the lube he was using

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
