TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by thinking someone actually knew how to do their job

I'm in school for a pre-medical program. I had 3 classes of prerequisites before I could apply to the program. I planned to take the three during the fall semester to apply for the late December program deadline. Back in September, I saw one of the three classes (let's say Class C) ends two weeks after the program deadline due to the length of the course. I reached out to the secretary and program director to see if an exception could be made. Sadly, I was informed no exceptions could be made.

With this denial in hand, I dropped Class C because it made no sense to fall a payment behind on my car and stretch myself that thin for no reason. I've been annoyed/upset since.

Turns out that both the secretary and program director are new hires who can't understand their own department's policies. A counselor who is knowledgeable about the program. My admission would have been submitted but not considered accepted until the class ended. Given a satisfactory grade in the class, that submittal would have turned into an accepted status.

Now I'm even more mad and frustrated as I have to wait til December of 2024 to submit an application for that admissions cycle and more than likely not start classes till the fall of 2025.

What the heck man? I don't know what to do other than cry. I'm 30F making $16/hr and barely squeezing by. My BF and I have paid our debt off, saving for houses despite the piss poor market, and are being careful to not bring children into a world we would struggle to provide. I feel like I'm doing everything right and still going to get screwed unwillingly in the end. I know I'm supposed to shake it off. But how am I supposed to want to push forward when it egg cracks like this?

TL;DR: trusted a school employee and her boss at their word about a policy and now I have to wait even longer to get into the program that could mean the difference of a lifetime in my living situation

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...
