I know it sounds ridiculous. I know most people must be disgusted with me. Hell even I’m disgusted by myself and my actions. I 20f have been with my 20m bf for almost 3 years. Our relationship hasn’t been perfect. We’ve broken up twice and have been on the verge of ending things many times. We are both stubborn people and when we argue we have a hard time coming to an agreement. This whole pickle started when he got invited to go to a lake with three of his mates. I was hanging out at his place when he got the call. He asked if I wanted to join. I am not a social person. After I graduated and moved onto uni, I stopped talking to old pals and was just spending time with my bf. He’s known about my wanting to hang out with people so he invited me along and I said yes. For the sake of anonymity his mates will have fake names, J, X, and C. (J is the one who I think I like) my bf originally got invited by C. They have all known each other since childhood. I had a great time. His mates ar...

For a little context: I’m Italian, my partner is not, we have a son together and he has a daughter who is on the spectrum. Dad : my partner To the story: Today was a nice Sunday afternoon, we decided to go and play at the local playground because is very good for sensory seekers and in general is a very cute place to be as family. The place wasn’t packed with people, but there were few families, we spent a good hour/ hour and half playing before the incident, stepdaughter was particularly interested in some little girls playing in the swings, as said before she’s on the spectrum so she plays different in some way, she just wanted to watch at the time, so she approached this swing where little girl was, I tried to take her away few times but she kept going near, at some point she went back there and as I was about to take her crazy mother took stepdaughter from her arm (quite squeezing it) and pushed her away, so I turned to her and said : Me: don’t touch her ! Crazy mother: next tim...

We are now at hour 14 and I can say that this would have sucked in any situation. I am sick. Confirming cancer diagnosis by trying to find the location of what is killing me. Dropped 60lbs in 2 weeks. A myriad of other symptoms that could be the new thing or my vEDs or my POTS or... So, the next cancer location to rule out is bowel. A colonoscopy for those who have not enjoyed this treat. As it has been through this whole experience, I have to hurry TF up just so I can wait for more testing. The lack of urgency surrounding my condition is frightening. But, I digress. Last week, my skeletal frame was at 97lbs. I ballooned up so badly that I looked more pregnant than when I had actually been pregnant. I went from gaunt to delivery room. A quick message to my doctor told me this was NOT concerning and to try a gentle stimulant laxative. They were already calling in Golytle (A half gallon of pure hell-inducing liquid you are expected to drink the day before a colonoscopy) to the phar...

I'll keep this as short and sweet as I can, this JUST happened and I'm still crying with laughter at it. For background, I am lactose intolerant but lucky that it's not 'spend the day on the toilet' LI, and instead 'clear a room with nuclear farts' LI. Anyway. I have had some Cadbury fudge bars today, rookie mistake, Cadbury always sets me off but these are the mini ones so I figured a couple can't hurt, right? Wrong. So wrong. I never even saw/felt this one coming. I'm rocking my sweet, innocent and oh so unaware five month old to sleep. He's just shut his eyes and it happens. Silent but deadly. My god it was so bad, I wanted to leave the room. This poor child just opened his eyes, looked at me so offended and horrified and cried his little heart out at the sheer stink his mother just made seconds after he fell asleep. I swear I don't make a habit of laughing at crying infants but I just couldn't help myself and now I'm having to ...

Back before we were parents whenever my husband would make a particularly heinous joke I would tell him that the joke was so bad he was now a father. Fast forward to today, we’re actually parents but I still tell him I’m pregnant whenever he tells a dad joke. The other day I was at work and he texted a joke that he was particularly proud of and I shared it with my (female) boss. We laughed and I told her I was going to reply that I was pregnant because it was such a strong dad joke. “Tell him I’m pregnant too!” I texted back, “I’m pregnant. (Bosses name) is in labor.” We laugh and move on with our day until I get a text from my dad, “Another baby! So excited for you and your cousin!” My boss shares a first name with my cousin. I had accidentally texted my dad that I was pregnant. I called him immediately and he answered the phone with, “Here’s the mother of two!” I explained the mistake and he was disappointed but amused. Now the entire office is making pregnancy jokes. The Dad ...

This happened last week but for context, my mom and me (18) don't have a close relationship, but she does have a close relationship with my younger half siblings which hurts. She can have candid and fun conversations with them but with me, it's like she always has a wall up when I try to talk to her. It doesn't only end at conversations. They can go for lunches/dinners without me. They go on day outings and she justifies it with the fact that I am older and probably wouldn't enjoy it. The worst was probably on Christmas day last year. I woke up to the sound of the car driving off. They went to spend the day at my stepdad's mom's house. I spent Christmas by myself reading a book. I've spent so much time wrecking my brain trying to figure what I'm doing wrong as it hasn't always been this way. I do well at school, I do chores, I cook, I babysit my siblings when she needs me too. Her 50th birthday was last weekend. She was really looking forward to i...

I have a senior cat who physically does NOT act like a senior cat. She plays like a kitten and requires lots of stimulation. However, she is not that smart. For the past few days I haven't been feeling great so I haven't been playing with her as much as normal. It has also been really hot in my place. I always open my bedroom window at night. So a few nights ago at about 11pm I am just chilling watching TV in a lazy boy type chair. Out of nowhere, with absolutely zero warning, I feel something smash into the side of my head and then a piercing pain. I was so confused but quickly realized my cat was the flying projectile that had just slammed into my face and the piercing pain was her latching onto my head with her claws. My gut instinct was to first promptly remove her from my face and then yell loud "WHAT THE HELL are you doing! I am going to kill you if you do that again!!" It was not a playful yell. I was seriously angry. I may have said a few more strongly worde...

I (26M) have a cat, Susan (7F). She is the absolute love of my life. I’ve had her for five years, we had an immediate bond, she’s been with me through thick and thin. I may be biased but she’s also a very pretty cat. She’s a brown and orange calico with a white belly and legs, and she has a very pretty face. I compliment her all the time because I love her so much and I want her to know how much I love her even if she can’t understand English. My girlfriend (25F), who I will call Liz, and I have been together for about two months now. She’s not the biggest cat person, and Susan is very shy so it’s taken Susan a bit of time to warm up to Liz. She’s not aggressive to Liz or anything. She just hides when Liz comes over, and occasionally she’d peak her head out to see if Liz was gone yet. Lately, Susan’s been coming out more when Liz is over, and she’s even started going to Liz for pets. Now, whenever Susan comes out when Liz is around, I do turn my attention to Susan so that she has a ...

It all began when I realised two things: One, I needed some stuff from Ikea, and two it was gonna be a hot day. So since Ikea, unlike my house, has that sweet sweet AC, I figured I'm gonna bring my dog along. He's familiar with public places like malls and large stores and he's pretty cool with it aside from making Chewbacca-esque sounds at people now and then. For a malamute like him that's nothing out of the ordinary. But this time was different. After a while he became very talkative and started to nudge me from behind every few minutes, something he usually does when he wants to take a break. I was almost done anyway, I noticed he was looking pretty uncomfortable, so we made our way towards the checkout. I knew he was trying to tell me something, and just before ...

This happened a few years ago. This will be kind of long, but definitely worth the read! I live in a place where people drive like they can’t die. After a few close calls I was inspired to install dashcams in both mine and my partners vehicles to have evidence of any future chicanery. They are great cams with front, rear, and interior feeds. A couple months after I got them up and running, we went on a cruise for a week. Before we left, my sister in law asked if she could use our condo for a “mini girls trip” and told us she would be staying there with some of her girlfriends part of the time and just taking some me time for the other part. Her husband was working and taking classes and wouldn’t be coming with her, which will be important later. Magnanimous people that we are, we happily agreed and gave her all the details she would need to have a great stay, including access to our car. Fast forward to a week after we got back from our cruise. The dashcam we have automatically rec...

So near my house there's a deteriorating parking garage. It's in such a bad condition that the entrance is blocked off for vehicles and nobody's allowed to park their cars on it. However, there is still cars parked on the parking spaces next to it. I recently started skateboarding and I thought that I might be a good place to skate because of the smooth concrete and open space. I went there once before and it seemed to handle me skating on it so I went there again today. I was just going in a big figure 8 trying to get my turns on point, but I kept hearing this sound which was similar to someone kicking a football against a wooden fence/wall. I didn't think much of it, since there's a bunch of kids constantly playing in my neighbourhood, and it didn't bother me much since I was listening to a podcast anyway. What I didn't notice at the time, was that I could hear the sound each time I went to the right side of the parking garage. After a while I got curi...

This is mild maybe but it's been gnawing at me for a bit. There was a talk in our university today by a really cool visiting lecturer who's done phenomenal work. She gave me really good vibes too, and I wanted to get to know more about her after. It's not often I've met such amazing people irl. After the talk ended, she offered to take us to dinner (since we were a small group) and I, I don't know why, went back. Just like that. I didn't even get her number or anything, One of the coolest people I've ever met and I do this. She's not from my country and would be returning soon so I doubt I'll get the opportunity again. I feel like I missed out big time. I don't know why I didn't try to talk more. Maybe it was because the air conditioning was too much, or that I hadn't had lunch, or that I felt a bit out of place since all my other classmates there were in the same club while I wasn't, I don't know what caused it but I didn'...

(Obligatory this happened 15+ years ago) I was young, stupid, in love, young, and most importantly.. stupid. During a conversation with "the guys" at work, we talked about how nobody in the world is a 10 out of 10. Nobody is perfect: personality, looks, wonky looking fingers, there's always a reason that somebody is more than a 1 and less than a 10. My now wife\then gf, and I went on a weekend trip to Philadelphia. During the trip, we're walking through the city and making small talk. Somehow, the concept of "rating" came up (it was probably my dumb mouth that spoke it into existence). She of course asks "well what would you rank me?". Let me start here. As the phrase goes, I outkicked my coverage. I look like a bridge troll. My wife is gorgeous, She's the most beautiful woman I ever saw, she's funny, she's caring, she's outright amazing. The first time I saw her I literally couldn't breathe. I know many of you think that ab...

I've been busy with an internship for some couple of weeks now and a very weird problem I face everyday is butt dialing. I've tried putting screen locks, setting screen timers etc but oftentimes unknowingly my mobile comes to life inside the trouser pocket and randomly open apps, links and dials up people. The worst happened today. A friend of mine called in the middle of my evening shift and she could barely make out "what have you done, bro.." before I noticed the fuck up. My phone have accidentally shared a intimate selfie video of mine ( not nudity, but it includes kissing and calling pet names etc., which I made almost 1 year ago for my girlfriend ) to my university class WhatsApp group embarassment is massive. Though (thanks to the friend), I was able to delete the video within 2 minutes of sharing, God knows how many of my folks have already seen it. Damn! This is shame and embarassment TL;DR : I accenditally shared an intimate, personal video of mine to my ...

So this happened on December 31st 2023. I (M 20) flew about 500 miles to meet my girlfriend for the first time ever. I was saving up for that flight for a while. And had introduced her to my brother and his wife as we both saw a future in each other and she wanted to get closer to my family. We were a long distance couple and met in a video game and had been together for about 4 years but never met in real life. So anyway, I lied to my strict af parents that I have a game coming up in a nearby city and I will be staying there for a few days. On December 30th's night, mom gets a call that her sister passed away, she was grieving really bad. I had an early flight next morning. I felt really bad leaving her in that state to meet my girlfriend but I did wait four years for this day. Anyway, we spent December 31st to January 4th together. We did all the couple stuff we had dreaded to do for years. Laughed, danced, cut a cake, ate, slept, cried and whatnot. I felt alive, happy, I cr...

So I've (27f) been with my boyfriend (28m) for almost 2 years now. It started off as long distance but we've been living together for over half a year now. His mom initially didn't understand the long distance thing very well. She comes from an older world, and just didn't understand it, and had a hard time with accepting the reality. However now that we're living together, we've met obviously a few times, and she's come around to me a lot and dare I say she likes me. She's very religious, no swearing all of that, and is big on respect, no first names, that kind of thing. I accidentally sent a picture of something my boyfriend got me to her through text instead of to my mom saying: "Look at this lil fuckin shit he just brought me" Now this may seem small but she's never heard me talk like that, and I didn't realize I sent it to her until an hour after it was sent. I also previously today, sent her a pic she actually wanted to recei...

This happened about an hour ago. As the title would suggest, I (33M) went to the dentist for some fillings today. Last few times I went, it was always struggle to keep my tongue out of the way while drilling. Today she used this thing that inserted into my mouth that I bit down on/had a vacuum to suck debri and spit while she went. It would also block my tongue. Perfect. The dentists warned it would be loud, and it indeed sounded like a fan/vacuum in my head. Well, every night I use a white noise podcast (box fan) to fall asleep and this was basically white noise blaring in my head for an hour and a half. So halfway through the procedure, I feel myself drowsing off and waking up intermittently. Really struggling to stay awake. Same thing happened to me during an MRI, I just zonk out at repetitive white noise no matter how loud. I have the dark sunglasses they gave me on, and I must not have been moving too much, because neither her nor the assistant seemed to notice. So how did I fu...

Trying to save $1 ended up costing me $95 and a chunk of my trip I had booked a train ticket to visit another city for the day and then head back home as a sort of mini trip. To get from my house to the train station I had two options. Option 1: take a bus for $8 Option 2: take a bus and then tram for $7 total and arrive 5 minutes later I had pre planned plenty of time to be at the train station so I decided to go with option 2 and eat the 5 minutes just to save that dollar. Well, as luck may have it, there was an incident on the tram specifically for the area I was at which caused them to put shuttle busses…. Which were all full and couldn’t take any more passengers. Long story short, I ended up arriving late for my train (I planned my trip to be an hour early just in case of delays in my route, and ended up being 30 minutes late for departure) and now I have to pay $95 to transfer to the next train and will have about 90 minutes shaved off my trip for the day :( All because I ...

I was born in México, but since my family is American I started out speaking English, it took me years to adapt to a new language, and I had to go through embarrassing moments to actually learn from many mistakes! I was in class, I think we were talking about a project which I was very excited about. The teacher saw my expression and asked me, “Como te sientes (my name)?” And I think I was very embarrassed, so I tried to respond as quickly as possible. I replied with… “Si maestra estoy muy excitado!” Which I thought meant, “yes teacher, I am very excited”, but judging by my classmates, I had apparently said to the teacher that I was horny, very horny. To anyone who’s learning a new language, just know that these things will eventually happen, and you will most likely get laughed at. But,the way you react to it depends on you. Just think that mistakes happen and laugh about it a bit more ;) TL;DR let yourself fuck it up, you’ll get back up and try again

i am travelling through Asia and one day on a restaurant met a guy which I became acquaintance of. As I was staying in a nearby Airbnb, I was going daily, and we spoke about a lot of things, including family, work, weather etc. As we grew in confidence and I was ready to move on to my next destination (home), I thought it would be nice, by the end, to give him a donation to donate to a project he and his daughter been working on for years. As I don't have a local account, I did manage to get his paypal through his daughter in order to send him something although i wasn't planning to even mention it to him and just go. well, two days before I decided to transfer around 200usd to his account as a gift. somehow next day as I went for my last dinner, he knew and hugged me for that and it was a nice time. I was surprised how much happy he was but also understood it might not be an amount he could come easily with. i said goodbye never to see them again. I left and several days...

So, I'm young, still in highschool and I fell out with someone I had been friends with for about six years. Lets call her Libby. She was my best friend, but since a few weeks ago I had felt really left out because she'd started to get closer to one of our other friends till the point they were making arrangements in front of me. I wasn't angry for the fact they were making plans Infront of me but I decided at lunch I would go out without texting them to give them space to make their plans. That's where I messed up. I didn't text. Near the end of lunch they came up to me and they asked me why I never texted them and I said that I didn't know. They both then stormed off. I thought this was okay, it would've gave me a break from them for a while since this wasn't the first time we'd argued for something like this. But I was very wrong. The next day I had a friend text me saying that Libby had been calling me a bitch behind my back and I wasn't hav...

So let me preface this by saying we used to regularly sleep together and are both single. He asked me to mind his house as he trusts me and I’m good with animals (I have house-sat for very big properties in the past he is aware of). I agreed and as I was there for a while, packed my ‘essential travel bag’. It contains mini toiletries, medication and also a vibrator. I came home, left his house sparkling clean and washed the sheets, and came home to unpack - vibrator was nowhere to be seen. I figured it must’ve been left in another bag. Until today, I received a lovely message that read ‘you left this, what is it? It feels really nice and soft!’ I’m MORTIFIED. I’m not sure whether I should make up a lie or just come clean. TL;DR I left a vibrator in my friend’s house whose house I was sitting and he found it. I’m very embarrassed.

I didn’t really fuck up anything by going out and drinking last night, but itt just helped me realize that I have so many issues I need to work on fixing. last night i went out to the bars, drank and it wasn’t a fun night because for one I got a little too drunk and I was out way too late and I spent too much money. Anyways, heres where my real dilemma is. I got out of a long term relationship about a year ago and this just past year has been tye roughest year of my life. I lost all my friends, I lost my entire social circle and my self esteem and my confidence. That relationship drained me so much and I was so attached that everything i did was revolved around this girl. i let it control me. After we broke up it took so long for me to get over her and frankly, i’m still not over her. I feel as if everything I do is to distract myself from the fact that i’m not over her and i crave her 24/7. If i feel lonely bc i can’t be with her I go out with friends or smoke weed and drink. I try t...

I put raw bacon into the microwave. I don’t want to talk about that part. I put it on one of my grandma’s nice little plates with flowers, expecting to see that happy orange paint job on the other side. I put a tiny bit of water on the plate and slapped the bacon down. I put it in the microwave for four minutes. It cracks and pops, all is good. Three minutes in, I hear a clank noise and my delicious pork amalgam of microwave radiation and super-heated water is masked by smoke. I opened up the microwave, the plate had split in half under the sweltering heat, there was grease everywhere, and my bacon had been reduced into a shriveled up tar black mess. I used tongs to remove it, but it held tight, fastened by fibers of cured meat that looked like and had the consistency of burnt hair and dried gutter mush. I threw it into the bushes and disposed of the fractured disc which its body had laid upon. I had to clean the entire microwave which wasn’t actually that hard. I then immediatel...

Title says it. Boyfriend (M21) and I (F21) both have partaken separately in the distant past but only once or twice. Thought it’d be fun to get high together, bought Ghost gummies. Took one at 7pm Wednesday. Took another one 11pm Wednesday because we weren’t feeling anything yet. Immediately after taking the second one, we felt the effects of the first and realized we messed up. But we didn’t care at that point. Immediately lost each other in our separate trips. Felt like the longest night of my life. Slept through Wednesday night, pausing for both of us to projectile vomit all over the bedroom and wander aimlessly for food, slept all the way through Thursday (including both our jobs), slept through Thursday night and finally Friday morning he walked to work because he was still too high to drive. I left for a road trip Friday afternoon. A family road trip. I was high the entire way and shocked that my sister didn’t notice. I am still, 9pm on Saturday evening, high. We realized the ...

So, I'm 28M and my fiancée, let's call her Jane, is 27F. We've been together for five years and recently got engaged. Jane is amazing, and we've always been there for each other. But my life hasn't been easy. I come from a pretty rough background. My parents were never really around, and I basically raised my younger brother while trying to keep our heads above water. I worked multiple jobs during high school and barely graduated. College was out of the question, so I just kept grinding. I eventually found a stable job in a warehouse, worked my way up to supervisor, and saved every penny I could. It wasn't glamorous, but it was honest work. When I met Jane, things started looking up. She's the light of my life, and we've been dreaming about our future together. But her parents... they are something else. They come from money, like serious money, and they've never been subtle about their disapproval of me. I'm not "financially stable"...

Obligatory "this didn't happen today but previously." I bought myself some shrimp at the seafood counter, and that night made a nice teriyaki stir fry with some veggies and rice. Since I made a few servings but live alone, I put the leftovers in the fridge for the next day. That night, I felt a little stomach sick. It was just a mild nauseous feeling, no vomiting or diarrhea. So it was uncomfortable but not a huge deal. Only, I wasn't sure if it was over the shrimp dish I ate, or something I ate earlier in the day, or just some stomach bug, or just my digestive system being fussy as it sometimes is for no good reason. Being the scientifically minded sort, I decided it was best to investigate. I had posted on social media about the meal and feeling slightly sick and how I was going to eat the leftovers, and many friends told me that was dumb and that I should just throw them away to be safe. Obviously, these are not scientifically minded friends! Where would civili...

I thought arugula would be a suitable substitute for spinach… Due to the hellish heatwave right now in much of the U.S., I’m trying to make no-cook meals with stuff I have in the house. I have a huge container of arugula I need to use so I thought it would be a great idea to make a berry smoothie with some greens. Normally, I use spinach, but I didn’t have any and walking to the store in this heat is dangerous right now. So I used arugula pretty generously. Arugula, blueberries, strawberries, yogurt, almond milk, and honey. It was the most vile thing I’ve ever consumed. It tastes like one of those foods they would eat as a punishment in a YouTube video. It was sour, sweet, liquid super arugula. I’m not a picky eater, so I thought I could stomach whatever came out. Holy shit was I wrong. Never again. TL;DR: arugula is not a substitute for spinach in a smoothie! I will be tasting this in my nightmares.

This happened a few hours ago. I went to a different town for a day with my mum and we were in a city bus. It was basically empty apart from us, so we sat down. Anyway, on one station my ex got inside with some of his friends (I can't believe my luck to have met him in a different town). They were standing across the door, so they looked directly at it. After a while I had to get off so I started to go towards the exit while the bus was still moving. But I guess I got up too quickly and I saw black for a couple of seconds and kinda lost my balance, and in that moment bus made a sudden turn and I hit the wall of the bus. But I didn't just hit it a little bit. You know in cartoons when a character hits the door in a funny pose and the shape stays in the door? The difference between that and me was that this is real life. After that I got up and had to stand there next to them until the bus stopped and mum and I were able to leave. Here's another fuck up (kinda): I turned lef...

Started work at a farm today, me and some folks were picking berries. Since strawberries grow close to the ground, and I don’t want my legs or back to kill me, I decided to sit down to pick them. Once I was done an area, I’d shuffle backwards further down the row. While doing so, I felt something wet. Checked it and it was just some rainwater on a leaf. Ignored it. Same thing kept happening, so I eventually just stopped checking behind me. My mistake. Eventually I finished my flat and got up to get a new one. Decide to have a bathroom break beforehand. Got to the bathroom, my underwear has a very red stained spot on it. It totally looks like my ass was bleeding — I check my pants, same issue. So, TIFU by staining my clothes in a very awkward way. Hoping nobody cared enough to notice while I was around town after work. TL;DR: sat on a strawberry while berry picking, made it look like I had rectal bleeding

Today i really wasn't in the mood to cook soo i ordered food instead. I always set the payment option as debit at the door so the faster they deliver the more i tip. He got here within 15 mins which is pretty fast and the total order was $28, so i was planning on tipping $8 extra. When he handed me the debit machine i went to type in the custom tip but he was talking to me the whole time so i was distracted then accidentally put $88 as the tip, i tapped it using apple pay then instantly realized i fucked up. I felt like an idiot and told him i only meant to do $8. He said he can't give refunds when paying at the door because there's no way for him to give any money back. He said i can call the store but i'd have to go in person for the refund which completely defeats the purpose of getting food delivered... Now my account is in overdraft and im not getting paid for another 2 weeks. Also i don't even have a car to go and get the money. TL;DR: I accidentally tippe...

Yesterday was a normal day, and as usual, my 14-year-old son was having his post-school screen time. He's a good kid, so I don't hover too much. I went to check on him and noticed he quickly minimized whatever he was watching. He said it was "just a gaming stream," and I let it slide, but something felt off. A bit later, I went back to offer him a drink and caught a glimpse of his screen before he could close it. He was watching one of those hot tub streams - Kick streamer Amouranth.. For those who don't know, it's basically streamers in swimwear, sitting in hot tubs, chatting with viewers. It's not explicit, but definitely more on the suggestive side. I tried to handle it calmly and asked him why he was watching it. He got embarrassed and mumbled about it being popular. I explained that while these streams aren't outright bad, they're not exactly suitable for his age. I told him he needs to be careful about what he watches online. He seemed pr...

yes you read that right. little bit of background: i walk a dog every week and her owners refuse to accept that she is reactive. i’ve been sitting/walking this family for over a year, dog one is a friendly guy but dog two is not like her brother and her parents can’t really accept it and just think she “doesn’t know how to play”. i found a butterfly on the sidewalk who couldn’t fly and i was like “ omg i know how to help!!!” because i am nature obsessed and can’t even kill a spider. the route i was taking passed my house so i figured id go and grab a plate of sugar water for the butterfly. i had my sister hold onto her when i ran inside, came back out and had my sister hand her off to me, and at the same time the dog saw another dog walking down the street and lunged so since i wasn’t expecting it/wasn’t prepared to hold her back, i slipped and cut my hand on cinder blocks. currently waiting on my stitches at urgent care. they think ill only need a couple but it’s my dominant hand an...

Bro fuck this day, and I hate my god damn dogs sometimes, and I even hate myself for not taking the 2 seconds to put the pan away. Enjoy my pain. Last night I made dinner and I had a tiny Dutch oven that I cooked it in. After I took it out of the oven, it was super hot so I let it cool down in the far right corner of my stove. When I have hot pans, I push them close to the backsplash towards the back of the stove because I have dogs who like to counter surf and I try to avoid them licking hot pans especially (I do not need a vet bill over a burnt tongue). I tried to remind myself to come back down and put it in the sink, but sleep came first and when I left for work early this morning I had forgotten about it. It only had a suuuuppppeeerrr tiny bit of juices from my meat in it, barely anything. Important. I have a camera in my living room to keep an eye on my dogs throughout the day, for they aren’t crated and are usually very good out by themselves. We (husband and I) go out of ou...

I work in a dog friendly office and I don’t usually bring my dog because she I very distracting and stress me out. But today is going to be very hot and I wanted to keep an eye on her. So I brought her in. Everyone was happy to see her and she was doing so good. Unfortunately she is a grass eater. The grass at home it lush & green and the grass at work is more like dry hay. She ate some grass when I took her to the bathroom and it got stuck in her throat. When we got back to my office she chugged her entire water and food bowl. Then she was sticking her tounge out aggressively and I could tell something was up with her throat. I checked she was breathing fine, she was, and trying to rush her down stairs. 3/4 of the way down stairs with the owner, gm, and my manager right there she puked up all the water & food she just eat plus the pieces of grass. I want to hide in a hole of embarrassment. Some of it got on the owners shoes. The dog is okay now. But she is very stressed becau...

Today I decided to wear a beautiful dress I thrifted with my mom last year. The dress itself has what I consider a mid length skirt - it stops just above the knees. It flares out at the waist. Since it’s summer here, and my co-workers have also started to wear miniskirts and dresses, I thought, why not! When I put it on in the morning, I definitely considered putting on a pair of safety shorts underneath. Again, I thought it wasn’t that short a dress, so I decided against it. BOYYY was I wrong. Throughout the day, I actually got so many compliments for my dress - needless to say I was chuffed. Now a little bit about my job: since I’m the youngest in the office, I have to do lots of manual tasks. This includes collecting packages, picking things up, etc. Towards the end of the day I had to bend over into a deep container to retrieve something. I was bending so much I nearly fell into the bin (I’m also super short lol). It was then I felt a few light taps on my back from my manager w...

I totally messed up by not accepting an invitation, and now I'm kicking myself for it. A few weeks ago, my friend invited me to this rooftop party. It sounded like a blast — amazing views, great music, and all our friends were going to be there. But for some stupid reason, I declined because I had a work deadline coming up. Fast forward to this weekend when everyone is still talking about how epic the party was. Apparently, there was a surprise performance by a local band that I love, and I missed it all because I was buried in spreadsheets. Now I'm sitting here regretting my decision and feeling like I missed out big time. I mean, how often do rooftop parties with surprise concerts happen? Probably not very often. I could kick myself for not just taking a break and enjoying the moment with my friends. TL;DR: I guess. Next time, I'm definitely going to prioritize having some fun over work stress.

If I exercise before bed, I always find it gets me better sleep. Also, I don't have much time to do it during the day. I usually go for a one-hour or two-hour walk, and sometimes I jog. It gets boring sometimes though, and I'm not always in the "mood" to walk. That's when it hit me. Why don't I do aerobics? I went on YouTube and looked it up. The first result wasn't aerobics per se, just a lady dancing to 80s songs. I'm 20, so I grew up with my mom playing those hits and it was really nostalgic to hear them again. I caught myself singing along and having so much fun, it didn't even really feel like a workout. I finished and even revisited some songs before I was finished. Finally, an hour later, I had many zone minutes on Fitbit. I was so satisfied. And exhausted. I knew I was going to sleep well tonight, especially since work had been so draining. I pulled the bedsheets to my chin and awaited dreamland. Except... A Madonna song was playing O...

So, technically last night but still Me and the missus decided to get down and do the dirty. Everything was going great, new positions, newer sensations, taking our time with it, all in all fantastic. Then, as she so wants to do, she whispered "doggy" in my ear. I love doggy position, so did not hesitate in the slightest, flipping her over and just rushing straight in. Mistake 1 was going too fast Mistake 2 was not making sure I was going in correctly Mistake 3 was not using enough lube. As I went in, I felt a god awful snap and was immediately bent over double in pain. I pulled out and saw that I had snapped my frenulum (banjo string) and by snapped I mean completely SNAPPED. Not a tear or a cut, completely snapped in two. Blood was going everywhere, I immediately threw up, I was crying etc etc. So now, I cannot masturbate or have sex for over a month, and my wife is getting blue walls and blames me for going too fast too furious. TL;DR went too fast too furious, ...

This was a few years ago pre covid. I was on holiday in Paris for a couple of days. My favourite author is Brandon Sanderson and whenever we go into a bookshop I always see what they have in. Especially in a foreign country because I like to pick up books as souvenirs. We went to a famous French bookshop Shakespeare an co. And I picked up a few of the Sanderson books but decided not to get one in the end. Any way get back to the hotel that evening and open up Instagram. Lo and behold I see Sanderson has posted THAT VERY MORNING he was in Shakespeare and co. And had signed ALL his books. Absolutely gutted. I literally had them in my hands 😭 I wanted to go back the next day but we just couldn’t fit it in to the schedule as it was the other side of the city and we had train tickets home booked. What are the chances. TLDR: didn’t buy a souvenir book on holiday and missed out on a signed copy as the author had been in the same bookshop the morning before me.

This is probably small compared to the other posts on this subreddit but I’m internally freaking out because I’m a high school senior and I’m not sure if this is gonna fuck up everything. I regret it, I regret it so bad. Everything had to be handed in at this certain time and since school had pretty much ended a week ago, I graduated weeks ago (but we still had assignments we could hand in) and I had procrastinated till the last second, I thought whatever, fuck it, I’m never gonna see this teacher again, and just recreated someone’s art exactly and called it my own. Then he added a comment to the assignment saying he takes plagiarism very seriously and handed me a zero. I would’ve gladly taken a zero for not handing anything in over this. Like will this fuck up my honours? Will this fuck up my diploma? Will they tell my parents? I don’t even know if he’s gonna do anything other than give me a zero because school is over? I’m genuinely so stupid for thinking it would be fine. It sucks ...

This is a bit long, but here we go- For background information, I(16f), am not a lesbian. I, in my entire sixteen years of life, have never felt any form of affection or attraction in any sort of romantic or otherwise sense. I wouldn’t say I’ve ALWAYS hated the idea of dating or being married, but to be fair when I was little my idea of marriage was two best friends who move in together and buy whatever they want because adults get special adult privileges. As I grew older, though, it became increasingly clear that I had a general lack of attraction. At first I thought I might just be attracted to all genders, because in my head I had decided that if it came down to it I didn’t have a preference, but I soon learnt that when the only situation in which I can see myself having a partner required force/extenuating circumstances, it wasn’t attraction at all. I don’t care to put a label on it, I know that it’s possible as I get older my current preferences (or lack thereof) might devel...

So, this literally just happened, and I'm already starting to panic. I'm a university professor (m 56), and today I sent out the much-anticipated end-of-semester email to my class. You know, the usual stuff—wishing them well, providing important links for follow up articles, grade submissions, feedback forms, etc. I had a bunch of tabs open while drafting the email: the university portal, the feedback form, and, uh, a tab with a picture my friend had sent me as a joke. I carefully crafted the email, double-checked the content (or so I thought), and confidently hit send. As soon as I did, I felt a wave of relief—finally, a major task off my to-do list. But then, an unsettling thought crept into my mind: Did I actually check all the links? My heart started to race as I quickly opened my "Sent" folder to review the email. And there it was, staring back at me in all its glory—a link that was supposed to lead my students to some helpful material but instead linked the ...

So I’m (20m) not totally sure what could’ve happened, but hence the title I think it was something to do with trafficking. For those familiar with the world of Grindr, it’s pretty much just used for sex and meets. However, catfishing is really big apparently - I wasn’t aware of this. I did my usual, finishing working at stupidly late then went on Grindr after having a drink to see what’s going on. I’d never met anyone before and I am kind of new to it still. I finally decided to do it and meet someone I found with (19m). They sent me loads of pics/vids and was fairly local and seemed incredibly real. I suggested meeting not them. It was about 4am and seemed like nothing that bad could’ve happened. When I checked the maps of the location I noticed it was a small neighbourhood street just off of some country lanes, and it was just a loop. My brain did start to freak out about what could’ve happened but I shut it down as just usual overthinking. I drove there, about 10 minutes away, an...
