TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by trying to cash out my crypto profits without any pre-checks

Today, I faced a massive blow that has me questioning everything I thought I knew about managing my crypto investments. After years of dedication and hard work, I finally decided it was time to reap the rewards of my labor and cash out nearly $250k from my long-nurtured crypto portfolio. Little did I know, this decision would plunge me into a financial and emotional situation I wasn't prepared for.

My trouble began when my attempt to cash out first led to a stuck transaction. Confused and concerned, I reached out to the exchange's customer service, only to learn that my entire portfolio was frozen due to being flagged for containing "dirty crypto." Apparently, a significant portion of my investments was traced back to what they consider "suspicious sources"—a concept I was entirely unaware of until this point.

This revelation has been a hard pill to swallow. Every penny invested in my portfolio was from my own pocket, earned from legitimate work. The notion that 18% of my investments could be tainted by association with dubious origins is not only baffling but deeply frustrating. It's even more disheartening to realize that the exchanges I trusted to facilitate my investments allowed this to happen without any prior warnings or checks. And it's been happening way too often lately, with most trusted platforms.

As I stand now, I'm unsure if I'll ever access my money or if my financial security is irreparably damaged. This situation has been a harsh lesson on the importance of AML checks—a concept I regret not knowing about sooner. Had I been aware, I could have pre-check everything and take steps to ensure my portfolio was clean, avoiding this nightmare entirely.

TL;DR: Decided to cash out $250k from my crypto portfolio, only to find the transaction stuck and then my account frozen due to unknowingly holding "dirty crypto." Now facing the possibility of not accessing my funds at all, regretting my ignorance of AML checks which could have prevented this mess.

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...
