TIFU By costing myself a potential promotion to try and spare my co-workers feelings

For context, my co-worker has been with the company for 5 years. I’m 19 and he’s in his mid twenties. He has been gunning for this promotion to cashier supervisor for almost two years now, but management has refused to promote him, as he is one of the few people who know, and are good at working both positions at my job. He is a really nice guy and one of the people I am the closest with at my job, and someone I am proud to call my work friend.

However, after seeing him get passed up again when he asked for the promotion in January, I waited until February to ask for the same promotion. I have been with the company for about 6 months now, but I am the only one outside of him who has maintained our position within the company during this time, leading to me and him being the only ones qualified for this role. Even though I’m in college, I really wanted to guaranteed more hours, and the pay increase was just a minor bonus to being able to work more. My boss said he would be completely fine with giving me the promotion, he just had to talk to our regional manager first because he needs to approve all promotions.

Flash forward to today, where it was 2 days before I was going to figure out if I got it or not. My biggest concern with getting this promotion was how my friend was going to take it, since I knew this is something he had wanted a long time and was going to be a potential breaking point for him. So in my mind, it made sense to give him a heads up that it may happen, just so he isn’t blindsided and resentful towards me if I do get it so we don’t damage our friendship! As I told him this, he got way more upset in the moment than I initially thought, and said he was going to talk to my manager about it tomorrow.

I didn’t want them to get blindside, so I went ahead and gave them the heads up that I did this. My AGM didn’t even though I was being considered for this promotion in the first place (important for later). My GM and AGM immediately pulled him into the office to talk about the situation without me present. When we closed that day, I asked my coworker jokingly on a scale of 1-10 “how bad did I just shoot myself in the foot.” He left laughing just saying “I can’t say anything.” So I feel like it’s safe to say that ether I just cost myself that promotion, or I was never going to get it in the first place 😂

TL;DR: I tried to spare my friends feeling about me potentially getting a promotion and in the process more than likely cost myself that promotion. That or I was never going to get it in the first place and my boss was just getting my hopes up.

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...
