TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by accidentally donating my girlfriend's favorite dress to charity

So, let me preface this by saying I'm usually pretty good at adulting... usually. But today, I royally screwed up, and I need some advice on how to salvage what's left of my relationship.

So, picture this: my girlfriend, bless her soul, has this one dress. It's like her holy grail of clothing. Every time she wears it, she looks like she just stepped out of a fashion magazine. Seriously, it's that good. Now, me being the thoughtful boyfriend I am, I wanted to surprise her by doing some spring cleaning while she was out running errands. You know, tidy up the place, make it all nice and cozy for when she gets back.

Here's where it all went downhill. In my eagerness to declutter, I accidentally tossed her favorite dress into the donation pile. Yep, you heard that right. Instead of folding it neatly back in her closet where it belongs, I basically handed it over to charity without a second thought.

Now, cue the panic mode. When my girlfriend got home and couldn't find her beloved dress, she went from zero to a hundred real quick. I tried to play it cool, like "Oh, maybe it's just misplaced somewhere, babe." But deep down, I knew I messed up big time.

Fast forward to today, and she's still not over it. I've apologized a million times, promised to make it up to her, but she's not having any of it. And I get it, I would probably be just as upset if the roles were reversed.

So, Reddit fam, I need your help. How do I make this right? Should I scour every thrift store in town hoping to find a similar dress? Should I start a GoFundMe to buy her a brand new one? Or should I just accept that I'm in the doghouse for the foreseeable future?

TL;DR: Accidentally donated my girlfriend's favorite dress to charity, and now she's rightfully furious. How do I fix this mess and regain her trust?

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...
