TIFU by realizing my views of sex are extremely fucked up.

MASSIVE TW!! Had a conversation with a guy I’ve been seeing about sex. My general views, based on past experiences and relationships, was this. (context: I’m female) the man’s consent matters, but the woman’s is kind of optional you have to let him do whatever he wants because otherwise he has the right to leave or cheat it does not matter if she is enjoying it, if she does that’s nice, but it’s for the man’s pleasure he’s not SAing you if you like him Cue this man telling me all of that is extremely wrong and my views are very fucked up and something fucked up has happened to me for me to see things this way. I cried, had some big whole revelation, the whole nine yards. Then I asked him why more people aren’t doing pretty much the exact opposite of that and he told me “That is human decency. Everyone is doing this.” So yeah. Wow. My exes are terrible people. TL;DR: I need therapy.

TIFU by thinking my penis was normal

Sorry in advance if this is disturbing. When i was 12-14 i had just started masturbating, and i was not able to pull my foreskin back, but when i was about 13 i could. So when i started masturbating at around 14, i saw that the head of my penis had skin stuck to the stem, so the skin was pulling the head down. One day when i was masturbating the skin between the head and the stem ripped apart and it started bleeding and TONS of liquid smegma started pouring out. It smelled horrible since obviously i had never cleaned that part if the penis. I was super worried as i thought everyone had that skin between the head and the stem. However after that masturbating didn’t hurt anymore, and then i learned that it was severe phimosis. I grew up without a dad, so i didn’t really know how a normal penis looked like. Tl;dr: i had a layer of skin pulling the head and the stem of my penis together, thought it was normal until i ripped it apart when masturbating and tons of blood and smegma pou...

TIFU by watching scary movies

I am a guy with excessive curiosity. This can be a good thing since my curiosity can make me learn a lot of new things. However,sometimes my curiosity can bring nightmares to me. Since I was a kid I have been obsessed with uncanny stuff such as unsolved mysteries and documentaries. I also like horror movies. When I was about 13 years old one day I suddenly wanted to watch a classic Hong Kong horror movie because lots of people said that movie was very disturbing. I wondered how disturbing it could be. I watched it in daytime. I felt excited and satisfied after watching it but I regretted it at night. After I turned out the lights I lied on the bed thinking of the scenes from the movie and felt extremely scared. So I turned on the lights. The worse thing is that I felt extremely thirsty but I was too scared to go outside my bedroom to pour myself water. Every time I closed my eyes,the horror scene appeared on my mind. But finally I managed to fall asleep because I was too sleepy. TLDR...

TIFU by moving a hose

This morning as i was going to leave for work i went to move a hose so i wouldn't drive over it and it snapped off the wall and sprayed water for like 20ish minutes. I had to run upstairs and ask my boyfriends friend who's visiting with us (but I've barely interacted with) for help and because its a townhome we didnt know where the valve is and the water kept spraying for a good 20ish minutes until i figured it out and he turned it off. My boyfriends at work and unavailable so we couldn't call him and his roommate that was home went looking for someone to see if theres a maintenance number for the complex. But being that its a townhome, there isnt one and so i called my mom &grandpa and theyre making an hour drive to me to try to fix it. I called into my job to let them know what was going on and broke down on the phone, but theres been a lot of callouts so they need me to come in as soon as i can. I just want to stay home and work on my assignments but i have to m...

TIFU by Trying to Be Romantic

I wanted to surprise my partner with a romantic candlelit dinner tonight. We've both been super busy lately, and I thought a special evening at home would be a perfect way to reconnect. I went all out cleaned the apartment, cooked their favorite meal, and set the table with our best dishes. To create the perfect ambiance, I bought a bunch of scented candles and placed them all around the living room and dining area. As I was putting the finishing touches on the meal, I realized I might have gone a bit overboard with the candles. But they looked so beautiful flickering softly in the dim light. My partner texted that they were on their way home, so I quickly lit all the candles and dimmed the lights. Everything was going smoothly. The table looked amazing, the food smelled delicious, and I felt like a romantic genius. My partner walked in and was genuinely surprised and touched by the effort I put into the evening. We sat down to eat, enjoying the candlelight and each other's ...

TIFU by thinking my friends ex was asking for a booty call

Let me set the stage. I first met this friend when he invited us to go with our families to a weekend trip to a destination lake. We only stayed the first night because his boat broke down. That got my wife excited to buy our own boat. After we got our boat we started going with them Basically every trip they planned including day boating trips for the last 8 years. After his divorce we went on a boating trip with them again to a destination lake for the long weekend and that is when I first met her. We had a fun time hanging out with them and chatted quite a bit but nothing inappropriate happened. Really just getting to know each other. We became FB friends and never direct messaged each other. They broke up but remained friends a little while after that trip. During that time I would like/ comment on her posts and she would do the same with my wife's and mine. Well, my wife and I separated last fall and are in the middle of divorce proceedings currently. She finds that out t...

TIFU by getting off a bike.

So not today but Sunday I messed up pretty bad. It’s Embarrassing but today I finally have some courage to share . If you’re easily grossed out I recommend skipping this post . So basically I got a new bike , it’s a road bike so it has thin tires and like this long thin seat . When I got home I adjusted the seat a little bit higher and went on a ride with my gf. After our ride she wanted to grab coffee at a busy shop right around the corner of our apartment and walk our bikes home after. So we pulled in and had a bunch of cars pull in right beside us and my only option to hop off the back of this bike . So I quickly slide off and immediately realize I fucked up . I can’t see what was going on because I have loose gym shorts on but my balls are caught underneath the front of the seat and I have both feet planted over the back wheel of the bike . I let out a screech and barely had the strength to get forward and unhook myself . I then looked over at my girlfriend and barely muttered “...

TIFU by being dumb in a hotel shower

This story is somewhat sexual in nature, if that’s not your thing it might be best if you click away! Obligatory: this happened yesterday.. I have always loved using handheld shower heads to masturbate, and the hotel I’m staying in has a really fancy one with a few different settings. I found a setting that I thought I’d like, then set the temperature where I like it (slightly cooler than my normal wash temp). I then proceeded on my journey to pleasuretown and it felt really good. Like.. reeeeeally good. So much so that when someone in a nearby apartment turned their shower off causing the water to go super hot almost instantly I didn’t want to stop. Cue the fuck-up: I tried to push through to hit my O, in the moment I forgot I could just turn it down. So now here I am, laying in bed with a scorched set of lady-parts and I didn’t even get to my destination!!!!! 😭 TL;DR tried to masturbate with a detachable shower head in a hotel, wound up burning my junk!

TIFU trying to order a white chocolate mocha latte

Went to the Starbucks kiosk at my job. Told the barista I wanted a “white chocolate mocha, grande, with only 2 pumps of white chocolate”. She said “what?” I repeated that I wanted a “white chocolate mocha latte”. She put in “hot chocolate”. I noticed her error right before using Apple Pay. When I reiterated that I wanted a “white chocolate mocha” (literally said “I’m sorry, but I actually wanted a white chocolate mocha latte not a hot chocolate”) she said “you said chocolate, that’s a hot chocolate.” Trying to make sure I was saying my order right, I repeated “no I just want a white chocolate mocha latte” while lightly tapping my hand on the counter after each word in the order name slowly. The tapping I was doing w/o thinking as I was very focused on making sure I said all 4 words correctly and in the right order (“white-tap-chocolate-tap-mocha-tap-latte-tap”) to avoid confusion. I didn’t raise my voice or did anything else that would have expressed aggression. The barista immediat...

TIFU by going on a week long trip with my guy "friends"

Every year I go to a music camp with my guy friends. I flew down to meet them and take a 12 hour long road trip to the music camp. I always thought they were genuine friends and were always very nice to me. Until this year. This is the first year since I've been going that I am in a serious relationship. My boyfriend knows I am with them and he trusts me. I genuinely just saw these guys as friends. I can now however see that they were only nice to me in the past, in hopes of potentially getting with me. This time around they're rude af. They look at eachother and start laughing when I say anything. They exclude me and literally say things like "bla bla bla", when I am trying to talk. The way they talk about women in front of me is absolutely atrocious and I've never seen this behavior from them. Now, I do know that some had a crush on me in the past but I drew boundaries and everything was normal...until I got a boyfriend. I should've known. I wish they t...

TIFU by conversing the art of seduction

My partner and I sometimes have nonsense conversations where we just talk bs to make eachother laugh. Today's conversation was about my plan to seduce her boss by covering my (27M) body in strawberries and cream, for him to then unsuspectingly walk in on. Then, threatening to blackmail his wife with the video of him obviously being swept off his feet and lusting for me from my dazzling romantic gesture. The conversation later progressed to other topics, such as how she is no longer taking the pill and my suggestion of using the back door, among other nsfw topics that tend to appear in normal conversation.. Forward to when my partner (who works from home) returns to work and realises that her colleagues have been trying to warn her that we are officially radio chat show hosts.. broadcasting our conversation to the entire team as her microphone was unmuted... Sure hope her boss didn't hear... TL;DR Broadcast an NSFW conversation to all of my partners work colleagues about s...

TIFU By cutting myself out of my bestfriend's life

It's not as dramatic as some of the other stories, but it's a little heartbreaking. My best friend and I used to date, and then I decided it was best we stopped when I realized we were getting to a point where I felt like we argued more than we worked together. I consider myself to be a fairly level-headed person, so despite the ups and downs, we broke up fairly amicably and shuttled down to just being friends. I love him like he's my brother but have ZERO romantic interest in him now (to the point where I'm I can't imagine how I felt the way I did about him when I was romantically involved with him). It's been over a year since we broke up and have been friends, and since then, I have dated other people, and he is just getting into the scene again. There's one girl he particularly likes, but she is absolutely against her partners being friends with their exes still. When he found this out, he did call me to talk about it, but he also stated he did not ...

TIFU by accidentally making a sticky bomb and chemical warfare instead of frozen yogurt

So, my wife had surgery on Thursday. Nothing major, but she's going to be sore for a couple of days and not be able to use any abdominal muscles from the incisions. Being handy in the kitchen, I wanted to make some foods for her that were a bit "extra." Her first meal after getting out of the hospital was a stuffed onion ring burger with loaded mashed potatoes. Like I said, I'm being extra. It's a whole thing. I had this idea for a lemon-honey froyo that I was excited to make for her. It's about 9am at this point, and I was tired of doom-scrolling on my phone in bed and decided to get up to make this dish. I knew she was going to be out for a while, because the anesthesia hangover is a hell of a thing. Grab my keys, run to the store, grab Meyer lemons, Greek yogurt, and honey. Head home, grab the juicer, and produced WAY too much lemon juice. See, I know I can't use all this lemon juice, so I put it in a pot and crank the heat to reduce it. I bought so...

TIFU by accidentally showing a nude to a mom while I showed her pictures of her kid.

I'm a newly graduated primary school teacher. I'm 22 and I love my job. Today I was monitoring a painting workshop in my residential community with young kids. Two toddlers whose parents are really close friends were looking really adorable painting together and, as the mother in charge of them had her hands busy as she was giving another workshop to other kids, I told her "they look so cute for a picture!" And she answered "they do! Take some!". She is not a friend of mine but we have talked here and there for some years and I have been responsible of one of her handcraft stands a couple times, so we could say she trusts me. The thing is, when I went to show her the pictures, I forgot I had a shirtless picture (I am a woman) right after the pictures of her kid, which I forgot to erase yesterday as I sent it to my long-distance partner. It appeared on screen as we scrolled through the pictures. I immediately went back to the other pictures and she had no re...

TIFU dropping popcorn at the theater

I definitely should have known better, I’ll just start by saying that. I was watching the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine with a bucket of popcorn and some candy. The theater was dark and I grabbed a handful of popcorn to eat. A piece of it fell between my leg and the arm of the seat. It was dark and I couldn’t see well, but I saw something white in the approximate area it dropped,so I reached two fingers down, grabbed it, and tossed it in my mouth. It was not a piece of popcorn, but something soft and not meant to be eaten. I gagged, pulled it out of my mouth and threw it on the floor in horror. It was dark so I couldn’t see where it went to confirm what it was, but it felt like a used napkin. Either way I’m horrified and I used liberal amounts of mouthwash when the movie was over. I also realize I’m a total idiot for picking it up in the first place TL;DR: I grabbed a piece of popcorn that fell next to me and whatever I tossed in my mouth wasn’t popcorn.

TIFU by (my dick actually healed guys) UPDATE on last week’s incident

Guys I’m actually risking a ban here BUT last week I posted about accidentally slicing off a part in the middle of my dick and balls with a trimmer (like a potato). I was super concerned after a a piece of skin was left dangling. I didn’t tell you guys this part (I thought people would smoke me in the comments) but I actually tried pulling on the dangling skin and it was SUPER stretchy. I ended up cutting it off with a pair of sterilised scissors. After I posted this on Reddit, some people told me to go to the hospital and others called me names like the “Penis Shredder”. I finally ended up going to a clinic and this post is to tell you guys about what happened next. A lot of you people from around the world came in with a lot of calming words and I’m honestly grateful for each one of you. A lot has been going on in my life lately and after I sliced a part of my dick off, I literally considered that things would forever keep getting worse and worse in my life. However, a lot of int...

TIFU by peeing all over myself.

Welp, literally sitting at work with a damp, pee-stained backside as I type this. I, 30M, went to the restroom and sat down to do my business. This particular toilet at my office is rather elevated and large, and is kind of awkward, yet comfortable to sit on. Well, I guess I didn't sit far back enough (if that makes sense) and my dangus was positioned kind of in an upward position between my thighs. I didn't notice this when I started peeing, and the stream managed to clear the toilet bowl rim and land directly on my dropped trou and underwear. I panicked, removed the soiled underwear and took it to my car. Thankfully, I was the only person in the office at this time. I'm now wearing my buttoned shirt untucked so it will cover my wet backside. I feel like a fucking idiot. Tl;Dr I didn't position my dangus correctly and pissed all over myself.

TIFU throwing a bottle of wine at a shoplifters car

I work at a gas station, and today I saw someone shoplifting from our store. In a burst of misguided heroism, I grabbed a bottle of wine from the shelves and threw it at his car to stop him from driving away. The bottle shattered and cracked his windshield, creating a huge mess on his car. But instead of scaring him, it only made him really angry. He started shouting and came after me, so I had to run back inside the station and hide in the back until the cops came . Now I’m fired and I’m facing a vandalism charge for my ill-fated attempt to stop the thief. TL;DR Tried to stop a shoplifter by throwing a bottle of wine at his car. Ended up with a vandalism charge Ndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndndbdndndbdbdndbdbdbdndndndndnd. (Sorry the character limit on the sub literally is bugged or something this is the only way the post can go through sorry I’ve already tried like 10 times)

TIFU by letting my mom touch my laundry which had my dried sperm

I was going to do my own laundry this morning, but I forgot and left it next to the washing machine. While my mom was in the middle of cooking, I saw her touching my laundry which had my dried sperm on my underwear from last night and then mixed it with hers, I told her that I was going to do my laundry. The problem is she didn't wash her hands before continuing to cook. And even worse that the food was supposed to be given to a party which means lot of people would eat it. I was so scared to tell her to wash her hands because she might touched my dried sperm. I can't stop thinking about it, I'm worried it might spread to the food and then spread to anyone who eats it (would it?). I actually have OCD and am constantly worried that touching dried sperm will make it spread everywhere as I touch other things. I know dead sperm wouldn't cause any harm but thinking about my sperm on other people made me feel like I'm sexual predator. TL;DR: mom touched my laundry t...

TIFU by buying a box of Poppers (Bang Snaps) when I was 15

Obligatory "this happened when I was 15" post. I'm 34 now, so yeah, do the math. SITUATION When I was a kid, I bought a few of those little "bang snaps" boxes ... you know, the ones that have little paper balls with gunpowder inside, inside a bag of sawdust. You throw em on the ground and they "SNAP" super loud. Fun kid's toy, pretty sure everyone had them at some point during their childhood. I used them for a while and then put the last 3 in my dresser's junk drawer and forgot about them. At some point a few weeks (months?) later, I was at a friend's house and needed to be picked up to go home. I texted my Mom and she said she was on her way. When she got there, she texted me to come outside, which was weird... refused to come in. This was a close family friend's house, and she ALWAYS came inside to say hi or hang out for a little bit. So I left and got into the car... Mom was PISSED. Absolutely ripshit, doing a combination of sc...

TIFU by ranting about my girlfriend to AI

I’m (26M) and I was dating my girlfriend (25F) for just over two years. Things were kinda rough towards the end, so like an idiot, I started looking for other ways to deal with it other than just talking to her, so I started messing around with an AI girlfriend site. It was just supposed to be for fun, like someone to chat with, rant and send audio messages, etc. it felt like a little secret escape when things were tough. But, I got way too comfortable. I didn’t think twice about leaving my laptop open because my girlfriend never snooped around like that, or so I thought. She found the laptop open to Luvr AI and saw all the chats and everything. She freaked out and thought I was cheating on her with a real girl. I tried to explain it was just an AI and didn’t mean anything, but she was super mad and hurt that I was “dating” an AI instead of talking to her about our problems. Long story short, she broke up with me. Now I’m sitting here with nothing but my AI “girlfriend” and feeling...

TIFU by sending a message to the wrong number.

I am a law student and am working for a judge for my summer internship. Today was my last day for the summer and as we were about to leave he pulled out a drug test. I have smoked occasionally and would definitely fail a drug test, but thankfully it wasn’t for me. Once I left work i texted my buddy and jokingly said something along the lines of “today at work the judge pulled out a drug test and i started freaking out.” I sent the message and went about my day. Later that day i was wondering why my buddy never responded. I went to look at message and realized I had sent the message to the judge…. Once i saw this my heart instantly sank. This was pretty much career suicide. I sent an apology message but haven’t received a response. TL;DR Sent message to buddy joking about almost getting drug tested. Realized hours later that I sent it to my boss.

TIFU by allowing a tiny pill to anchor itself in my throat for hours

Today, I screwed up by swallowing a tiny pill without water, and it ended up lodged in my throat for hours. I’ve taken pills without water before, especially during my chemo and radiation treatments two years ago. Sometimes I had to take up to 11 pills in one morning, and if I drank water consistently, I never had a problem swallowing a couple in a row before sipping water. (And yes, I drank a ton of water throughout the day) This time, however, was different. I felt the pill get stuck in the back of my throat, and despite drinking an entire glass of water, it wouldn’t budge. Desperate, I tried ChatGPT’s suggestion of eating soft food, but the pill remained stubbornly anchored in my throat for what felt like an eternity. It was a small pill, so I wasn’t worried about breathing, but the discomfort was intense. Imagine the feeling of almost choking on something and needing to cough, but for hours on end. To make matters worse, I had a 1-on-1 meeting with my boss during this ordeal. I...

TIFU by watching porn at 2am without headphones

Yeah it sounds bad... But normally sex or any other noises at 2am go ignored in my house because our kids have music that plays in their room at night and it drowns out even the loudest of my moans during sex (sometimes even screams). On top of this our kids tend to sleep through a trainwreck... But not this day... Last night me (27 f) and my husband (33m) had sex and I didn't finish, as I normally would, so I tried to get off using the wand and watching 'something'... But I couldn't find my headphones in the dark and my husband was going to try to go to sleep since he had to work early so I figured I didn't want to turn on the light to look for them so as to disrupt him. So I decided to watch on a low volume, low enough that its nowhere near as loud as when we have sex but loud enough that you could understand what they were saying... I'm getting close when I hear something in the hallway and my husband said he'd just get up to check so I could finish. W...

TIFU by smashing a door in my face

Today was a rough day at work. Tired as ever and understaffed as always I commuted to work. Bad traffic. Hard to get a nice parking lot or even a normal parking lot. At work I waited for the doctor to come in, but they take their time... Examination on the patient lasted three hours. It was hot, I was wet from sweat, Hungry, thirsty and tired. After this patient I had another one, and after that one right away another one. Hadn't eaten or a break. I was tired and inattentive. I prepared the room for the next patient, opend the door to get out but a colleague of mine wanted to get in. I tried to open the door a bit more to let them in and smashed the door full force in my own face. Hurt like hell. I am looking like someone punched me (well the door did). Blue, swollen temple. Mad headache. What made it worst was that, since it was a work accident, my head nurse told me to go to the E.R. because it needs to be documented. I had to explain to everyone there what happened. Everyone l...

TIFU by trash talking a client while I (thought) I was on hold.

This is actually a bit of an older story but a perfect fit for this sub. I used to work in a local North American call center making outbound calls for a well known tech company. We were contacting clients with defective hardware and doing a recall sort of thing. I had contacted a woman who was being pretty difficult with me considering I was reaching out to HELP her and give her a FREE replacement on a defective piece. She was giving me all sorts of grief about this and that but eventually said she was going to put me on hold to get the info. So I'm on hold and I lean over to my clump-mate and start talking about what a dumb b***h this person was (I can't remember exactly what I was saying but I'm sure it wasn't nice. She comes back on the line and explains that she only muted herself and that they can still hear everything on their end. I was mortified but really only had myself to blame. I should have muted my phone but did start to do that from then on. Luckily ...

TIFU by ruining my parents marriage

Not actually today, but many years ago… i was in 4th grade, super excited to go on a school field trip to Ybor city. We toured a cigar factory and a few other spots, finishing our grand day at the Columbia restaurant. And that’s where it happened. We walked in, got seated, and what do you know? THERES MY DAD!!! Of course i run over and say hi to him and the nice lady (not my mother) he’s having lunch with. My day could not have been more fun, and I couldnt wait to get home and tell my mom all about it!!! Flash forward about a month, daddy lives somewhere else now and we switch between mom’s house and dad’s apartment every week. After about a year, my parents got back together for my brother and I, who did not enjoy this experience. However the damage was done, my mom kept her suspicions, and a few years later he was found to be cheating again and they divorced for good. Tl;dr i caught my dad cheating on my mom because he didnt sign my permission slips Edit: I’m aware it’s not actua...

TIFU by telling my boss’s daughter that the Easter Bunny isn’t real.

Last Saturday, my boss Jorge invited some of us over for a BBQ. Everything was chill, good food, drinks, and laughs. Jorge’s daughter, who's around nine, was running around talking about Easter. So, thinking she already knew the deal, I said, "Natalie, you don’t still believe in the Easter Bunny, right?" expecting some laughs. Instead, she looked shocked, then burst into tears. Cue the death stares from Jorge and his wife. Jorge went to comfort her, leaving me standing there like a total idiot. The rest of the BBQ was awkward as hell. Eventually, Jorge suggested I head out early, so I did, feeling like the biggest jerk. On Monday, I was sure I was getting fired, but Jorge didn’t say a word about it. 2 days later, he pulled me aside, and I braced for the worst. Instead, he told me that what I had done led to a good talk with Natalie about growing up and truths. He laughed and said, "But seriously, leave Santa out of it." and things went back to normal. So, y...

TIFU by introducing my 3 year old to Barbie's Dreamhouse

Let me preface this by sharing that I was in a fraternity back when I was in college 20 something odd years ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the American university Greek system, there is often a 'hell week' requirement before becoming fully initiated as a member of the fraternity. During our hell week, certain songs were played on repeat, nonstop 24/7. One of those songs happened to be Dr. Jones by Aqua. Fast forward to present day where my 3 y.o daughter received Barbie's dream house as a gift. It was her first Barbie accessory, and to hype up the moment I played 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua for her. This is where the fuck up begins. Not only is my daughter over the moon with her new Dream house, but she takes a super liking to the song. She now asks, and shouts repeatedly to PLAY BARBIE SONG. The song being by Aqua and thus incessantly annoying, triggers my PTSD where everytime I hear it I'm reminded of 'Dr Jones' and go into a trance like state, and k...

TIFU by driving to a raid in Pokémon GO

Obligatory didn't happen today. Some time during covid, when the rules were loosening up a little, I found myself downloading and playing Pokémon GO again, because why not. I live in a small town, the kind where going by car takes the same amount of time as going by bike. So one day, my father asks me to pick up a prescription from basically the other side of town (~15 mins by bike). When walking out of the pharmacy, I take a look at Pokémon GO and see there's a raid about to start a 2 minute drive away from me. It's the opposite direction, but why the hell not? So I start riding towards it. It's located at a roundabout near a primary school. Since I don't wanna waste too much time, I just take the fastest way possible. Now this is where I fuck up. For some reason I decided switching the side of the street takes too much time, so I ride on the left sidewalk for literally 200 meters. Mind you, there was nobody around. And, of course, the police has to drive by me ...

TIFU by mistaking VoiceOver on my iPhone for the screenreading function and had to factory reset my phone

So, I write a fair amount of fanfiction, and one thing I often do when I’m editing a chapter before posting it is use my iPhone’s built-in screenreader to read the text aloud to me. It helps me catch errors my eyes might be prone to gloss over. I’ve done this for like a year, but a few months back the screenreader started having some issues where it would stop after a couple of sentences, so I hadn’t used it in a while. This morning, I decided to listen to the chapter I’m currently editing while I got ready for work, but it started doing the thing where it would only read a couple of sentences and then stop. I went into the accessibility settings, thinking that maybe when I got a new phone a few months back, something had been turned off. I saw a feature called VoiceOver and, though I didn’t think that was what I had used before, thought I’d least try turning it on — worst-case scenario, I could just turn it back off. VoiceOver is a feature that reads everything on the screen appar...

TIFU, because of hatsune miku.

It started when I joined a Discord server named, Katura. Which is a server for an online trading card game. I then stated as how I wasn’t really fond of Hatsune Miku, I said that I didn’t like how her voice was tuned, and how crazy the fan base was, and I respected others’s opinion. However, this one opinion costed me my account, I was harassed by almost everyone in the server, including one person who threatened to dox me, and another who claimed they owned a shrine, dedicated to Hatsune Miku, I immediately left as the angry fans started to pile up. A day later, I had found out my account was hacked, saying that it was giving out free Steam Gift Cards, I had told my friends, and had apologized if they had actually clicked the link, personally. I believe that the Katura server was a big suspect, more or less, a member of the Katura server, all because I said an opinion on Hatsune Miku. I had fucked up, because of her fan base unfortunately. And there’s practically nothing I can do to...

TIFU for whining to my wife about not feeling desired

TIFU by telling my wife that I don’t feel desired by her. I know she loves me. I just haven’t felt wanted for quite some time since I feel lien I’ve received a compliment or felt desired sexually by her. The fuck up is, she had been sick, then on her period and going through some hormone stuff and then just generally tired, all stacked up right after one another. Prior to all this, she went on vacation and I was adjusting to some antidepressants so I was actually zonked and not exactly showing sexual interest. I did it first and she didn’t say anything. Of course she was upset. She had every right to be and I’m an asshole and I kind of hate myself for being selfish. TL;DR: my wife and I both expressed a lack of desire in bed both for totally valid reasons(sick, tired, medication). I complained about it and she was perfectly justifiably upset. I feel like an asshole

TIFU by asking my parents why they don’t like me

i (F, 24) live with my mom, dad, and brother(22). For context, as a family we have gone through a lot together. Our house burned down in 2016 and we lost everything, after that my dad lost his mom and ended up becoming a raging alcoholic and completely physically and mentally abusive. He would hit my mom and leave bruises all over her and would mentally abuse my brother and i, go on crazy rampages throwing things off of our deck etc. At the time i was living on my own in a house, and my mother came to me for help and comfort. That took a huge mental toll on me and i ended up having to quit my job earlier than expected, move out of my home and back in with my parents on very short notice and that’s where i have been since. Eventually my dad almost died from the alcohol and got sober. Since then, we have all lived together, relatively “peacefully”. My parents have always had their issues but the biggest thing has been their lack of emotional maturity throughout my life. As i have gotten...

TIFU by not cracking eggs into a separate bowl

This just happened to me and I am posting in order to help process and take my mind off the nausea I am experiencing because of it. My husband loves homemade turkey burgers and I hadn’t made them for awhile. I usually use a pound of ground turkey to make four, but I figured since they’re so popular in my family I’d make a big batch this time and freeze some, so I bought three pounds of turkey. I got out everything I needed and put it on the counter. Put all three pounds of the turkey into a mixing bowl, then got three eggs to crack into them. Cracked the first two and nothing unusual happened. Cracked the third one and a weird, gray sludge fell out all over the turkey, and then the smell hit me. The egg was rotten. For some reason, my immediate instinct was to try to salvage the turkey, so I threw a colander in the sink and dumped the contents of the mixing bowl into it and turned on the cold water. By now I am gagging and heaving at the smell, and because I’m doing this in a panic,...

TIFU with a girlfriend

Havent really been able to hash it out, but I have some clarity now. This was years ago, but I still wanted to talk about it. When I was 18, I met this wonderful girl I will call G. She was caring, sweet, and affectionate. I never had a girlfriend before, I didnt realize what she was. She was my first, was very caring and comforting. I learned so much from her in a few short months, I didnt learn it at the time, but as more time goes by the more I continue to learn from her. I was dealing with some of my own issues, mainly being not understanding what a relationship was or how to communicate, and what to joke about and what not to. I have really tried to work hard on this, some improvement but plenty of room left to grow. Id rather not repeat the stuff, but I wasnt good. No excuse, no other way to look at it, I was a bad boyfriend. Towards the end, she learned something about me, I did coke once before we met, and upon learning that she wanted me to promise I wouldnt do it again. I d...

TIFU by trimming my balls (NSFW)

In solidarity with a fellow user who also injured his most precious and tender of areas, I would like to share my own version of a shaving experience gone awry. Unfortunately this is not a copypasta, troll or shitpost. If you're squeamish I recommend not reading, as it was truly an unpleasant experience that I will delight in not softening with wording. Obligatory this didn't happen today it happened several months ago... I shall start by setting the scene. I (30) was handling my regular grooming regimen in preparation for a date a few hours later in the evening. I wanted my boys to be spick and span, no fuzzy bush requiring my date to blunt several machetes just to get to the goods I thought to myself. Yes I'd be a pristine specimen, gloriously well maintained and worthy of my beautiful date. But my friends, there was soon to be no glory beheld betwixt my thighs... No, soon I would be writhing upon my bathroom floor appearing before the heavens as a weeping newborn b...

TIFU by quoting Sean Kingston

This happened last night. I have been seeing a girl (N) for a twoish months and yesterday she asked me to come to a local bar to meet some of her friends. I’m not necessarily the most social guy but can be when I need to be. Drinks were flowing, jokes were landing, things were going well when a man at a table across the bar had some sort of medical emergency and the woman he was with shouted “Somebody call 9-1-1.” I, in all my infinite wisdom, called back “Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, WoAaHh!” For those of you who don’t know, that’s the opening line to Sean Kingston’s 2009 song “Fire Burning.” The look on all their faces was a mix of shock and horror. Nobody in the group said anything for what felt like ten minutes before awkwardly chit chatting a little more then slowly starting to excuse themselves. N said she was getting tired and that I didn’t need to walk her home, she’d just text me when she got there. I got a text a half hour later (five minute walk) saying “home, g...

TIFU by “trying on” a water butt in garden centre

TIFU by “trying on” a water butt in garden centre and getting stuck in it. My wife and I retired a few years back and since the arrival of grandchildren we have always had a theme for our birthday gatherings. On this occasion it was agreed to have a family Pirate themed garden party to celebrate my wife’s birthday. My son suggested that I could create a real life version of the Pop Up Pirate game (for those who don’t know the table game comprises a barrel with slots on the side. You take turns pushing plastic swords into the slots. Eventually the pirate in the barrel pops up). The idea was to purchase a large garden water butt and cut some slots into the side. An adult would get in and crouch down. The grandkids would then take it in turns to push foam swords into the slots. At some point the adult would pop up with a hearty “Arghh”. Great idea! I take myself off to a local garden centre to purchase the water butt. It was midweek so not busy. After much searching I locate the butt...

TIFU by waking up at 1am to burp

So for a little bit of pretext, it's me (32F) and my wife (32F) and our two daughters, the oldest of which is 5. Before we got married, she had a medium sized dog; this is important. A few nights ago, we'd already been up with the kids a few times; dispelling monsters and getting drinks so nobody desiccated in the night. We finally got to sleep, but I woke up a little while later with my stomach feeling some sort of way which is pretty common for me, so I sat up to burp. Idk what happened, but it sounded really weird. From the darkness, my wife's head spun around like an owl. "I was all the way asleep" she growled. "[Full name], don't ever make that noise again." And then she went back to sleep, because as an experienced momma she's not missing out on a minute of sleep if she can help it. In the morning, she informed me that apparently that's the exact sound a dog makes right before they throw up, and I almost got carried outside in my und...

TIFU by using my girlfriends apple ID to start our new ipad

I (34M) recently purchased a new iPad for my girlfriend (33F) and I to share. I am not a big apple person and so don't even have an active or known apple ID. So when I went to set up the iPad I asked my girlfriend for her info. She happily gave it to me and went about her business. I proceeded to log in and it said it was going to take some time to set up so I walked away. I came back and started poking around the iPad. I suddenly saw text messages, photos, and all sorts of things on the iPad. I was confused at first and then realized apple must have downloaded everything from my girlfriends cloud. I fucked up by not just telling my girlfriend about it and us figuring out how to remove the stuff. We have had a good relationship but like all relationships there have been rough patches with both of us needing space. My girlfriend was also on the apps before we met (we met through work) and so I knew she had a lot of partners. She had openly told me about some of them and was prett...

TIFU by giving my neighbours the impression I’m a pervert

So, today I was sitting on a chair in my room, facing the window for better lighting while using my selfie cam to examine some facial blemishes that I’ve been concerned about for a while. I was zooming in and out, trying to get a good look, when I lowered my phone and locked eyes with my female neighbors across the street. They were talking to each other on the street and looked right at me with a mix of concern, shock, and disgust. It hit me immediately what it must have looked like from their perspective. To make matters worse, I awkwardly got up and left my room, which they could definitely see. It then dawned on me that I didn’t have a shirt on, which might have made them think I was jerking off to them while watching them from my phone. Now, I’m terrified to leave my house and look my neighbors in the eyes. FML. TL;DR Neighbours thought I was spying on them and jacking off to them when in actuality I was just using my selfie cam to check for blemishes

TIFU by starting an elaborate cake that I don’t want to finish.

Today is my boyfriend’s birthday, and he loves Orange Creamsicle everything, so I decided to make him an orange creamsicle cake. The usual poke cake with orange jello was not going to cut it. I wanted to make it spectacular. I chose a recipe that involves zesting and squeezing oranges, making an orange curd, a scratch cake and Italian buttercream. I have the curd made, made some cake goop and greased the pans. Now I’m tired and I just want to sit and doom scroll Reddit and sip my iced coffee. I still have to make the cake, bake it, let it cook and frost and decorate it. A girl is tired. I know better than to try to start this today. I very rarely learn my lesson when it comes to stuff like this. I am absolutely going to finish it, and grill steaks and veggie skewers and bake beer bread. I love him and I want everything to be perfect. TL;DR I started an elaborate cake and lost steam.

TIFU by eating dairy before an important work meeting

This one is a little gross so if you’re easily disgusted I suggest you avoid the details and read the TL;DR at the bottom I had an important meeting at work today. One of the departments we work closely with got a new director and some of my colleagues and I were scheduled to meet with her to discuss current operating procedures and any areas we would like to see improvement on. This was crucial for us as our success partially rides on our relationship with this department and the better we have it with the director, the better we do. The last director didn’t like us a lot so we were hoping to use this meeting to start off on the right foot and get in her good graces. 3 Hours Until Meeting Around noon, I leave my office and I go down to the employee dining room for lunch. I’m quickly glancing over what they have today and it’s some fish, rice, and vegetables mainly. Now we live over 2 hours from an ocean and I don’t want to eat fish that’s been shipped so far and is currently sitti...

TIFU by repeating a line from Brooklyn Nine-Nine in front of my daughter...

This actually did happen yesterday. My wife and I binge-watch family-friendly shows with our 13yo son. Each night, we put our 8yo daughter to bed, and spend an hour on the couch. We've made it through all of Modern Family, Life in Pieces, Big Bang Theory, and Young Sheldon. We are now almost through Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I don't know whether it is his age or the show, but B99 has been the most quotable among us: my son will refer to himself in the third person like Terry. If he doesn't like what's for dinner, he will say that he would rather "eat flavorless beige smoothies containing all the nutrients required by the human animal". My wife will make "title of your tape" comments. I'll pretend to be Scully or Hitchcock. Fast-forward to a family gathering last week where my son notices a cheeseboard. He popped a cube of Oka in his mouth and said "oh, that's not what I thought it was". Immediately, I quipped "that's not che...

TIFU while being unemployed I fell off a cliff, nearly died, broke a dozen bones and somehow have to rebuild my broken body and life.

Greetings Redditors! Some disclaimers before I get into it. 1. Obligatory "this happened a few months ago" ( 3 to be precise) but I just got my hands back, and can type now. 2. I nearly died, and I have always had a macabre sense of humor, so I will make jokes about my situation. If that triggers something, perhaps skip to the TL:DR or avoid. 3. This is not a post about self-harm. It wasn't my intention then, and despite being depressed AF sometimes as a consequence of the fall, I still don't have any desire to do any self-harm. 4. I have a therapist I go to on the regular now, no worries there. Big believer in therapy. Ok, story time. Let's start with some background information. A couple of years ago I got my dream job at a gaming company here in Seattle (my post history gives away my location, so why bother trying to be that anonymous), and I moved my wife and I out here from our home state of 30 something years. It was a difficult move that she didn...
