TIFU By Pulling The Handbrake Too Hard

TIFU by pulling the handbrake on my uncle's car too hard.
We had just got back from dinner outside, and were having a chat while the car was parked. Now, I don't know what went over me, but as I was sitting in the passenger seat, thinking about what game I'll play tonight, I made the genius decision to see how hard I could pull the handbrake on his car.
I pulled it hard. Very hard. When I tried to put it back down, using all my might, I couldn't.
A wave of "oh fuck" washed over me IMMEDIATELY. Now there's us, me and my uncle, using both our hands, all our strength, unable to put the handbrake down. Fortunately, by some miracle, we put it down.

Cut to next day, I'm back in my uncle's car with him, ready to go out for dinner again. As he tries to back the car up out of our parking space, the car didn't move. It was skidding against the ground and wouldn't back up or go forward. I got out of the car to see what was wrong.
The handbrake on the left rear tyre was jammed. It wouldn't move. We tried to dislodge the jammed brake by trying to drive the car with the stuck tyre, but lo and behold that shit was jammed hard.
Next, we jacked the car up and tried to remove the tyre to see what was wrong.
Unfortunately, even the tyre was stuck and won't come out.
As the situation unfolded, it was proposed that the crane service would have to be called to pick the car up and take it to the service center. Fortunately, that didn't happen and we called a mechanic to ask for advice.

Cut to 2 hours later, it's cold, dark, late and 4 of my family members including me and my uncle are standing outside, watching the mechanic we called to check out what was wrong with the car. After much effort, fortunately, the mechanic dislodged the handbrake and the tyre was now moving.
Obviously, it doesn't end here. When my uncle pulled the handbrake again, being under the impression that everything was all okay and fixed now, the tyre got stuck again. The mechanic spent an additional half hour to dislodge the brake again. The tyre was moving now without any issues. My dad would take the car to the service center the next day to get the cable replaced.

All in all, my fuckup cost us over 4 hours of our time, almost gave us hypothermia, and set us back $80 for the mechanic and about 200$ more when the cable will be replaced tomorrow.

I have never felt more embarrassed and guilty. The disappointment and anger was enough to make me feel like I was stuck to the earth with guilt.
Moral - DO NOT pull the handbrake on your car too hard.

TL;DR - I fucked up by pulling the handbrake on my uncle's car too hard. The brake got stuck and jammed the left rear tyre and the car wouldn't move because of it.

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...
