TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by sending my class the wrong link

Oh boy, where do I (m 56) even start? Today was probably the most embarrassing day of my entire teaching career, and I’ve had some doozies. For context, I am a university professor, and like many in my profession, I have adapted to the increased use of technology in education, especially email communication with students.

Today's FU started off innocently enough. I was sending out an email to my class with some supplementary materials for our next lecture. I wanted to include a link to a YouTube video that I thought would provide some additional insight into the topic we were discussing.

However, in my haste and lack of attention, I ended up copying and pasting the wrong link. Instead of an educational video, I accidentally sent a link to a K-Pop dance . Now, this wouldn’t have been so bad if it was just a regular dance video. But no, it was one of those overly sexy dance covers performed by a girl in quite revealing clothing.

I didn’t realize my mistake until a student replied to the email, asking, “Professor, is this the right video? It doesn’t seem very related to the lecture topic...” Confused, I clicked on the link I had sent and felt my face turn beet red as I watched the dancer move in ways that were definitely NOT related to our academic studies.

Panicking, I quickly sent out a follow-up email, apologizing for the “mistake” and providing the correct link. I assured the students that it was a mix-up and to please disregard the previous email.

But the damage was done. The students had seen the video, and soon my inbox was filled with a mix of amused and confused messages. Word spread like wildfire, and by the end of the day, even my colleagues were giving me smirking glances and teasing comments.

Now I’m not only known as the professor in my field, but also as the professor who sent a K-Pop dance to an entire class. I’m mortified, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve lost some respect in the eyes of my students and peers.

So yeah, any way i can explain this away? Maybe say it was a virus?

TL;DR: Accidentally sent my students a link to a K-Pop dance instead of a relevant educational video.

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...
