TIFU By cursing out my computer on a work call

Obligatory did not happen today. This tale goes back to coronatimes. We were in full lockdown and my team at work was having a very important online meeting on new policies. Everyone was there, my collegues, my boss... I was having a particulary shitty morning. When first logging in on the call I realised the worst: my wifi was down. I quickly jumped into the car and raced to my parents house close by. Luckily, I could set up in my brothers old room on his shitty desk between his boxing ball and his closet. With a delay of 20 minutes, I finally connected to the zoomcall...only to realise that my battery was running low and my charger was still at home. After an axiety-ridden return trip back home I was officially a half an hour late on this call. Luckily we had only just arrived at the point in the meeting where my opinion was needed. Sigh of relief, gather my thoughts, start concentrating and jutting down notes. But then, the moment that I was discussing something very important...my computer screen goes black. WTF. Try to turn on and of. No reaction. Check charger. No reaction. Put down the screen of my laptop and just stare in front of me. Maybe the battery died so hard it needs a minute to charge enough? Anxiety through the roof. What can I do for a couple of minutes while I wait? My eye catches the boxing ball. In a daze I get up and start punching...it feels amazing! Automtically while I was punching, I start cursing out this stupid computer, this stupid day, all the deities I can think of. 5 min later I calmly sit down again, try my screen and miraculously it lights up again. I join the call and everyone is dead silent for a minute. Then my boss asks me to join her on a seperate call and promptly asks me if I'm okay. My computer had betrayed me yet again: the screen had gone black, but apparantly I was still on the call, still very much with my mic on (I mean..how???). From their point of view, I had just suddenly put my screen down and started screaming and hitting stuff. That was the tale of how everyone on my team heard me randomly have a complete meltdown. In the end I tried to awkwardly explain, but I got some concerned looks the next couple of days. I did find out that many of my colleagues genuinly cared for me as multiple people approached my asking if I was alright and if they could help me in some way. So in the end, while I cannot trust on my laptop at all, I can very much trust and lean on my team :)

TL;DR: My computerscreen goes black while on an important work call. I try to relieve stress while boxing and cursing for a few minutes. Turns out my mic was still very much on and audible to the whole team.

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...
