TIFU by stripping in front of my boss while shaking dust off my chest.

I wish I could reverse time or sink into a pit somewhere. This happened a few hours ago now that the mortification has gone down a bit. Normally, I am very cautious person. I always have my camera off because I don't like worrying about someone seeing something they should not, or myself doing something and forgetting I am on camera.

I am a hybrid WFH employee. Recently, my team has been pushing for everyone to be on camera for every call so whenever I have calls with my manager for instance I make sure to take the camera sticker off.

Now for the story......

I recently finished my law degree and plan on moving to our legal team in the fall. In an effort to save money I have been doing prop comission to earn a little extra money on the side. During down time at work I will sometimes sand some items, or draw sketches. Today I was doing a bit of sanding and ended up with a lot of foam dust all over my face, my shirt, and somehow underneath my clothing as well.

My manager sent me a message asking to call them about my transfer and her recommendation for the role I am pushing for. I immediately called her and took my camera covering off. She did not answer so the teams call went to voicemail of which I declined, and my camera light turned off. Instead she sent me a message that she was busy and would call me back in an hour, I let her know I was out of office to travel to the office for the day and would speak with her once I arrived. She just sent a thumbs up.

On a normal day I would turn my computer off after this exchange. Not today though, I didn't want to miss any potential messages so I began undressing in my room to take a shower. When I took off my bra and underwear I noticed that I had a heavy amount of dust on top of my breasts, underneath my breasts and all over my stomach. I bent forward, grabbed my breasts, and started shaking them to get the dust off. I literally was doing some kind of aggressive attack on my breast like they owed me money. I reached forward to grab my broom and see my manager had somehow joined the call and my camera miraculously turned back on. I grabbed my laptop as quickly as possible to shut it and sent a couple of "I'm so sorry, I didn't know I was in a call" messages to my manager. She responded as if she saw nothing and that its just so weird how she called and it immediately connected. The log says we were in a call for 1min and 2 seconds so it means she saw something.

I am mortified and have taken the remainder of the day off to sit in silence in the dark. I shall wait for the email from HR

On a positive note, today I learned that if you don't physically close the declined call voice page on "new" teams, if someone calls you back it immediately reopens the call.

TL;DR I left my teams on the voicemail screen after my boss didn't answer the call, I took off all my clothes to shake white foam shavings off my breast before I got in the shower. My boss somehow joined the call, my camera came on and saw me.

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 ...
