TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by deleting every single file on my computer

I recently started using the online version of Microsoft 365 to write up documents for work. I used to have the student plan so I could have word and excel and all of that on my computer but I’m no longer a student and didn’t want to keep paying for it.

One drive was telling me my storage was getting full so I went to see what was taking up so much space because I don’t really use one drive and there shouldn’t be that much on there. Turns out 80% of the drive was taken up by what looked like an old backup copy of my personal documents. It was dated from 2017, so clearly not recent, and I keep all my personal documents stored on my hard drive so I had no problem simply deleting it from the cloud and then using that for my work documents instead. I deleted the file, cleared my recycling, and went about my day.

About three days later (today), I realized the absolutely massive and irreparable fuck up I had created. Apparently, when one drive syncs with your device, which on my computer is automatic and I didn’t even realize was being done, it takes over your entire hard drive and syncs every single file you save so if it’s deleted in one location, it’s deleted in both locations. When I deleted that folder from one drive it connected to my hard drive and deleted every single thing I had saved on my computer. Documents, photos, game files. Everything.

I’m absolutely devastated. I had over a decade of important documents and photos saved and hundreds of hours in gameplay that within the span of 5 seconds Microsoft permanently deleted across all my devices. Obviously it’s my fault, I should’ve know better. It seemed like common sense to me that the files I had saved on my hard drive wouldn’t be affected by me deleting a what I thought was an old backup on a cloud service I don’t even use. I’ve lost photos with people that have now passed, books that I wrote in high school, tax documents, legal contracts, travel information, it’s all gone. I hate myself right now. I can never get any of it back and I only have myself to blame.

TL;DR - TIFU by deleting a folder on one drive that was dated from 2017 and appeared to be an old backup. It deleted every single file I had saved on my computers hard drive and I’ve lost over a decade of important information and treasured memories that I can never recover.

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...
