TIFU by clicking "unsubscribe" in a junk email

Though it's always said that you should never click "unsubscribe", because that simply tells the spammer that it's a good email address, and I used to follow that guidance, over the years I've started sometimes clicking it on emails that make it past the spam filter, especially if they seem to come from at least a somewhat reputable source, as it seems like more and more companies are honoring these requests.

Unfortunately that was not the case today (well, yesterday actually). Received an email for "Life Line Health Screening", and stupidly, thinking that this was a reputable company, tried to unsubscribe.

Well, the floodgates have been opened. This particular mail account, which typically only receives a one or two messages a day, almost immediately started getting a much higher volume, almost 100 so far. Not just for the Life Line thing that I stupidly tried to unsubscribe from, but for window replacements, luxury bedsheets, portable heaters, seat cushions, etc. Judging by the timing, and the appearance of the emails (all are using the same obfuscation characters in the sender name and subject line to get some of them past the spam filtering), they are all coming from the same source.

So, apparently the Life Line emails were not being sent by them, they were being sent on their behalf by some third-party marketing firm, and upon their system seeing an active email address, they unleashed a torrent of junk mail from their other clients onto me. Most are being caught by the spam filter, but some are slipping through.

TL;DR: don't click unsubscribe on junk emails.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
