TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU When I learned a language to impress a girl.

Obligatory, this didn't happen today but years ago. I just didn't bother to post it.

I was in college studying computer science. I don't know much about languages or what most of them even sound like but had to take a language course so I signed up for Spanish. I had a business services class to take as well, not sure why but any way. In that class there was a Chinese girl right next to me. She barely knew any English as I overheard her only speaking in Chinese but she was gorgeous. I didn't know what to even say cause I don't know the language. She had a friend who was translating the class for her. I said "hey" but the translator said she doesn't speak English. Before I said anything back, the professor interrupted and started class. I thought, let me learn that language and impress her. I overheard her friend talking to someone else saying "ohhh nice, I speak Chinese too and multiple languages also!"
So I was still in the "grace period" I guess you can say where you can drop a class. So I dropped Spanish and took Chinese. I took the class and it was tough, not an easy language to learn. I had to work hard at it but I knew it was going to be worth in the end.

I wanted to wait till I was fluent in it and that I can hold small conversation before talking to her. She rarely spoke at all except to her friend. I waited till the last day of the semester to say something to her. Ask her out etc. etc.

Last day of the semester come up and I'm ready to talk to her. I tell her that she's pretty and I learned Chinese, so I can talk to you. It wasn't flawless but I managed. Her translator spoke and MUTHA FUCKAH, you wanna know what she said??

"That's really sweet that you learned Chinese for her but sorry she doesn't speak Chinese, she speaks Japanese. I'm the one who speaks Chinese."

MY DUMB ASS thought the whole time she was speaking Chinese. FML. The girl did give me a hug though thinking it was sweet but yea no. I didn't see her again after that as I think she switched colleges.

TL;DR: Learned Chinese to impress a girl to then realize she was speaking Japanese the whole time.

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...
