TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

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 cheddar, that's just some common Oka". He laughed uncontrollably and my daughter asked what was so funny. We explained that it was from a line in a TV show and carried on with our lives.

She is at a day camp this week which provides lunch in a cafeteria (its run by a bougie private school). Somewhere during the lunch, they passed a sandwich station and she noticed the slices of cheese. Then she commented "that's not cheddar, that's just some common cheese". An older kid behind her in line said, "that's not the quote, its 'you're not Cheddar, you're just some common bitch'". So she asked her camp counselor: "what's a bitch?" and then I got the phone call from the camp director. Ultimately, we got to the bottom of it. The camp director was a little harsher with the older kid, but my daughter got a talking to by staff about using bad language and missed out on the fun swim time. I had to come get her. She doesn't think she did anything wrong, which we agree with. Thankfully, she'll only have two more days at the camp.

TL;DR: daughter copied me in quoting B99 and got in trouble at camp

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...
