TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by buying a gift card only to find that someone else registered it

On Sunday (mothers day) I went and bought my mom a visa gift card. She's been low on money lately and I figured getting a $300 gift card would allow her to pay for groceries and everything she needs without having to worry.

She first tried to use the card yesterday, once to buy food and the other to buy groceries and the card wouldn't scan. Figured it was just an issue with the strip on the back and that's why it wouldn't scan.

Called the gift card company last night to find that the gift card had the right address but the wrong name. At the time I could not figure out what name it was registered under. I started a case for fraud and figured I had registered it under a nickname.

I called again today to double check and see if it was just a nickname, only to find out that now the name and address were both wrong. I went through every name I could think of and nothing matched.

I told him how I bought it, it was still in the package, the piece wasn't tore off the bar code. I went to self check out because the store had 2 lanes open and both had really long lines. After scanning and the machine asking me how much, the machine then asked for my name and address to register the card. Which to me wasn't unusual. I had never bought a gift card before. Well the guy I was talking to said that they had never heard of someone being asked to register the card right away in store before.

I went in today to the website to find that someone had spend $299.15 at a bulk store today, just a few minutes ago. I'm unsure why when the original dispute was made the card wasn't cancelled or freezer. But now I need to wait 7 to 10 days when my mom was supposed to buy her groceries tomorrow. She has no money to get groceries and I have no money to spare to help.

TL;DR: Bought a $300 gift card at the store, self check out machine asked me for my name and address to register card, thought nothing about it. Someone registered the card this morning and spend almost all of it.

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...
