I pull into Taco Bell drive thru behind 2 cars. Wait my turn and ask if they still have their cravings box. The guy says yes, I tell him I’ll get that and mention my drink. Silence. I wait patiently for 3-5min before he comes back on verifies my order and then tells me to pull around. 2 cars in front of me drive off. I get to the window, pay her and she hands me my drink. I wait about 5 minutes before she asks me to pull forward. No problem. 3 cars proceed to pull up behind me and drive off with their food fairly quickly. The 4th car behind me waits a moderately long time, but as I see the cashier handing them 2 full bags of food, I’ve had enough. The receipt says it’s been a little over 20min sense the cashier rung me up. I’m done. I turn off my car and head towards the door frustrated and planning on just asking for a refund and leaving. I pull open the door and come face to face with a man in a uniform holding a Taco Bell bag of food. He says: ”Sorry about…” I frustratingl...

So my wife decided she wanted bagels this morning and was going to head into town and grab some. I was a bit hungover this morning and decided a bath would be a good way to relax while she was gone. I could get nice and comfy, have some coffee, and watch my favorite sports shows clips on my phone from YouTube. A nice easy way to deal with a headache from one too many beers. So I'm just laying in the tub, laughing at Kevin Wildes attempt at picking three teams to make the Superbowl, and go to put my coffee on the edge of the tub. Well, I didn't put it over far enough and the mug just falls right into the tub, landing directly on my thigh, pouring hot coffee all over my thigh and junk. Luckily the water was high enough that my junk was mostly underwater, so it didn't get burnt too much, but my thigh has been red since. And as a bonus chuckle, as the coffee diffused into the tub, it looked like it had awful diarrhea in the water. TL;DR I poured hot coffee on my fully expose...

So this was about a month ago, but I am still mortified. I am a trans woman and have been publicly out for about a year now. A few months ago I started experimenting with more feminine clothing and fell in love with flowy skirts, dresses, etc. I’m sure some can see where this is going… I was sitting on the curb after work waiting for an Uber. Now, I’ve been wearing skirts and such for a while at this point, and it’s not like I don’t know the obvious “don’t spread your legs” etiquette, but admittedly at times I forget things like this. After such a long day my mind was completely elsewhere, and all I could think about was how badly my feet hurt in the new boots I just bought. I dressed up extra fancy that day because a friend was having a get together later that night. I was a Barista at the time and after a full shift of standing in heels all I wanted was to sit and relax. So I’m sitting on this curb with my knees to my chest, just scrolling Instagram when I finally look up and.. my...

TIFU I 24M fucked up by telling my dad 67M that I Will take him to America before he dies. So about 6 months ago my dad got diagnosed with cancer and it didnt look good for him, So I told him that before he dies that I will take him to America so he will be able to think about something happily and not only about the cancer. So about a week ago he won on the cancer and thankfully survived, but now he can't wait for me to take him to America. Now comes the part where I fucked up. I never had the money to take him, especially even stay there for some time, So now I dont know what to do because I can't break my dads heart after all that happened. TL;DR TIFU by telling my dad on his death bed that I will take him to America so he will have something to be happy about before he dies, but he survived and idk how to tell him I dont have enough money to take him to America without breaking his heart after all that happened. Also everyone sorry if I typed something wrong I am not fro...

I M24 and my girlfriend F22 have been dating for 2 years. My girlfriend is a bit self conscious because of the way she got treated in highschool. She jokes about how her awkward phase made her funny and generally makes a lot of self depreciating jokes. Especially between her and her friends, her friends are pretty similar to her so it isn't weird to them. But it's weird to me, so I never entertain her jokes. Until this morning, because I'm an idiot. So for context My girlfriend likes to joke and call me a Disney Channel jock because I was a stereotypical popular football player and I did admit to her that I was kind of a bully. Dating her has kind of made me realized the way I treated others back in the day most likely left lasting scars which is why I've made it a point to not indulge in any of her self depreciating jokes. This morning she decided to show me her highschool pictures for fun. We start looking through them and she starts joking about how she looked l...

So I been working for this place for like 7 years pay ain't great but I'm the sorta person who wants to stick at it improve and do better and really I do try and I work late I take on extra responsibility and try to do the right thing always try to get the job done I honestly am I hard worker Well standing there doing the job and saying it ain't right is actually alot worse than not doing the job coz now I'm in such trouble that I was told on Monday I'm in and Tuesday I'm locked out for good and that's it no job as I was sent on a course I was not qualified for and did not know as my manager arranged it so I attended passed and am not allowed the certificate as I wasnt qualified to be on the course as I today found out meanwhile my manager is asking for the certs whoch I can't hand over so monday no certs no more work I have a mortgage and 2 dogs no savings and no real qualifications to speak of and hope is bleak right now so TIFU by trying rather than...

First let me preface this by saying I know I made a terrible decision to violating her privacy and breaking her trust. I know she isn’t to blame for my actions and it’s my fault this happened in the first place. We've been together since the beginning of this year and almost everything was perfect. Our lifestyles don't necessarily compliment each other so it makes it a little difficult to always show up for each other. l've communicated that I didn't feel secure because the relationship didn't seem too high on her priority list and she said she would work on it. Well a few months down the road and a couple more conversations about needs and goals were had but not much changed. Instead of communicating what I was feeling, like I should have, or leaving I made the stupid decision to go into her phone. I won't call what I did a mistake because I made a concious choice to go in her phone but I did make the mistake of not considering the repercussions of my actions...

TL;DR Tatoo removal clinic offered to refund my previous sessions and give me the rest for free, I declined out of politness hoping they'd insist, they didn't This wasn't today but it's taken some time for me to realise I actually F'd up So I'm currently going through the process of having a tattoo lasered. It was meant to be a memorial tattoo for my daughter but it came out atrociously, so I had to immediately make plans to have it laser removed and hopefully redone At my last session, which was the second one, the technician happened to ask what the tattoo meant and I explained. He did the whole 'I'm So sorry' and then was like, 'I Don't really know what to say now.' At the end when I came to pay he mentioned he felt bad taking money off me now knowing what it was for , I just kinda laughed a bit and paid. Fast forward a few days, I receive and e-mail from the laser clinic: I've been thinking about it and I feel really uncom...

This is going to be a long one. Please fasten your seatbelts and stay seated for the rest of this story. In 1990 I was avoiding an FBI investigation (I was a key witness and was going to be hauled into court over and over and over as a slew of angry businessmen sued my boss). After doing my interviews with the FBI and getting everything I knew down on paper, I decided to skedaddle. I bought a giant backpack and headed for ten months of wandering North Africa and Europe. The backpack was a beast. 90 pounds (41 kilos). I also had a day pack that was another 20 pounds. Because I was traveling so long I had winter, spring and summer clothes AND, to make it more interesting, part of my trip was going to be a Nile cruise where you had to wear a tie/jacket to dinner and since I was a clothes hog I had two jackets, several slacks and a different tie for every night (12 nights). To get everything in, the bag was packed like a puzzle. Everything was rolled, and bagged and rubber banded so it...

For context, for those who don't know Sleeper is a fantasy football platform. I've run a fantasy football league with my high school and college best friends for 15+ years, and that's how we all stay connected. My wife is very well aware of this and totally okay with it. This morning, I woke up to my wife angry with me, and crying profusely. She's a sweet little fawn and seldom gets upset at anything, so I was extremely confused and alarmed at her behavior and asked what was wrong. She said "I Saw the App and the messages, I know you're cheating on me!" I was so confused. She went on this whole tirade about how she's noticed I've been getting lots of notifications on my phone over the past few days in the mornings and thought I was being secretive. She looked at my phone this morning, and saw a message on an app called "Sleeper" from someone named "Riley" and the message read "God, you're so sexy, (my name) I love y...

So just to be fair some of the things are not exactly years ago but at least 1yr+ but pretty much the same. Today when I was sleeping my fiance(ex fiance now ig) was going through my phone and found some old chats of mine, I just installed back a messages app cause I was scrolling through some 2nd hand helmets in marketplace, but forgot that was the app where I used to talk with my ex. Don't get me wrong, ofc I deleted the conversation with her BUT I had a chat with MYSELF in there (yk just for writing the shopping list or whatever) but I also had some pictures in there I completely forgot, so you know where I'm going. I had pictures with my ex in there, like normal pics of course so that made my fiance think it was okay to keep going until she saw her naked and stuff and well the reaction wasn't pretty tbh (no shit right). I feel really guilty and I know since then our relationship was f up. We just started dating a year ago and those pictures were 3years+ but I underst...

Not today but a couple weeks ago. I was at this company for over a year (first 3 months with a temp agency). I was a Production Team Member on paper. They had me running the area I was in as a trainer for new temps and as a lead, directing the team what to do. I also was handling inbound orders and parts inventory. Everyone was expected to train new people at this company so I wasn't concerned about that. However, the responsibilities of a lead, handling orders and parts inventory are responsibilities that were put directly on me. I also learned Google Sheets specifically to improve their spreadsheets and make them more user friendly when looking up parts or seeing what we had in inventory. I designed brand new sheets and implemented processes that improved productivity across all of production. After a year, I asked some of my coworkers and they agreed that with everything I do, I should be making much more than I was. I wrote a well thought out and detailed message to my boss ex...

Yep you read it right. I’ve been a bit overweight lately. So my belly button is extra deep. So when i noticed my belly button giving off a foul smell, I decided to clean it as I usually do. Well I notice a small hair peering at me from my belly button so I get some tweezers to pull that sucker out. It was super satisfying as I pulled out a wad of lotion build up and cat hair. Gross, I know. Did not smell pleasant but I have been lotioning my stomach more often lately. Well I finish off by cleaning it with soap & water. Thought maybe I’d throw some micellar water in there just in case. Mistake. Woke up the next day and my belly button turned into a soup of pus. I’m assuming I may have knicked my belly button with the tweezers and caused a bacterial infection. My entire lower torso is in pain. I have a gauze shoved in there and have been gently cleaning it every other hour or so. Now I have to go see a doctor to find out who knows what I’ve done to my button.. Weirdest time in my li...

This happened today. Here I was, innocent little college me, refilling my roommate and I's minifridge with some cans of the sweet, lovely nectar of the gods that is Dr. Pepper. However, woe is me, and with my infinitely buttery fingers, the can of Dr. Pepper slipped from my grubby mitts and plummeted toward the hard carpet. It was at this moment that I discovered why fragmentation grenades are so effective in warfare: shrapnel. In this case, the shrapnel was countless droplets of Dr. Pepper coating anything and everything in our dorm room, including the walls, my roommate's sheets, everything in my open closet [ even my dress shirts :( ], both of our computers, etc. Luckily, I managed to save my bed from the angry soda spray by being in the way and getting absolutely covered from head to toe in Dr. Pepper. We've spent the past hour using wet paper towels and screen cleaning wipes to try and get the Dr. Pepper off of whatever we can. Every time I look at any surface, soft ...

hello there. Basically what the title says. Today I went to an orthopedic doctor after many years of knee pain. Why after many years you might ask, well lemme answer that. I’ve had this pain for like 7 years and I went to 3 different doctors (you might think why 3 different ones). Two were orthopedics and one was a surgeon. The first one told me that he is not sure what’s wrong with me, the second one told me that it’s probably growing pains ( I was still growing at that time) and it will solve itself out and the third one took one look at me and told me that I should probably consider more physical activity (I’m not obese, yes I have few extra pounds but nothing horrible. I have over 10 000 steps everyday and I run, so It’s not like I sit on my ass all day). So after that I just gave up on doctors and learned how to cope with that pain. I learned some taping techniques, used ointments for pain and all that jazz. Well yesterday I got really annoyed at the pain I was in so I looked ...

A few months ago, I was in a really bad spot mentally. I was doing really poorly in all my classes and my procrastination and anxiety had gotten to a level previously unanticipated. The medications I was prescribed did not help at all and part of me wonders if they were placebo. Anyhow, I signed up for one of those "productivity courses" on Instagram, and I paid 600$ for 3 months. There was a no back out no refund policy and I felt really pressured during the first meeting to commit as fast as possible, which should've been a major red flag in hindsight. I cannot believe I just trusted him and allowed myself to be molded like that. We did May and June, and we decided to postpone till August since that's when school would start. Well, it's August now and I received the automatic charge. I didn't land a job this summer, so I don't have the means to pay for this. And he's charging me anyway, saying it'd be unfair to other students. My fault for agree...

Ha ha sex injury, get it all out now. But I didn't know so maybe someone can learn from my fuck up. I have cervical cancer and had a radical hysterectomy (everything removed) on 8/5. Recovery was awful that first week but now that I'm 3 weeks out I'm feeling pretty much back to normal. Some tenderness in my belly, some hot flashes, and I'm tired, but overall I'm like ok I've got this! I knew that sex was off the table for several more weeks so that I could heal but I wondered about alone time so I tried looking it up. Everything I read said that I was good to go even the same day I had surgery if I was up to it and avoided penetration. Cool, great. But I didn't find anything specific about my type of hysterectomy and I think that's where I really fucked up. My surgery was not done laparoscopically and since my cervix was removed there are more internal stitches and that's the only thing I can think of for what went wrong. Everything was fine up u...

Not today, but not so long ago - and I still cringe about it to this day. It was before the days of ubiquitous supermarket self-checkouts, and this supermarket - Sainsburys in Holborn, London - was experimenting at the time with a single line for all six human checkout operators. It was a few days before Christmas, and the supermarket was very busy - the line was about twenty deep, and it seemed to take forever to get to the front. As I reached the front of the line, a guy in his fifties approached from my left, smiled at me, and cut in front of us all, and started to unpack his groceries onto the belt. Now I know I've been using the word "line" in this post, but as a Brit we usually say queue, and one thing we Brits are renowned for is that we definitely know how to queue . So in my most indignant voice I said loudly to the guy: "Hey mate, the queue is back there", pointing to the line of twenty or so behind me. I felt rather proud for defending us all fro...

God, why do I keep doing this. I've always been a people-pleaser. At my last job, I had wonderful coworkers who tried to help me break this cycle. So I thought I could just find the opportunities to please others only when I get some sort of benefit. My current job is a 24/7 facility. I started when it opened, and my boss wanted to do a rotating schedule; nights one week, weekends the next. Because no one wants to work nights or weekends around here. I can't work nights due to a medical reason. I made a deal with my boss; I don't work nights and I don't have to work a rotating schedule, but I work every weekend and holiday (if the people normally scheduled want the holiday off). I've been very flexible. I help her with the schedule, and I always offer to change mine up a bit to fit everyone else's requests as long as I keep the same days off every week. More recently, I was helping her with the schedule and it was a mess since someone wanted to switch week...

You've read the title, few days ago I downloaded some new animations for Whicked Whims. It's a mod that allows your sims to have real sex, it's really popular, there's loads of stuff and usually pretty safe. I downloaded an animation pack, and something just felt off about it. I brushed it off, played for a few hours, went to bed. Yesterday I start my PC, excited to play some Sims and it just takes a really long to boot up and suddenly a windows command window pops up und closes again. Very sus. I immediately scanned with windows defender, did a big scan, took like two hours, didn't find anything. So next step was to text my brother (personal tech expert) and he told I should probably wipe everything clean and do a fresh install if windows. Wouldn't be a huge deal, but my last back up was made in 2021. Since 2021 I played about 500-600 hours of sims, I have a safe file I've been playing with since release and the plot really developed during that time, a...

For the past two years I have used the same wax earplugs every night as part of my routine. I hate most noises as I'm autistic but I also can't fall asleep without some sort of show on in the background. My solution has been to put earplugs in lightly and turn the volume of the iPad near my bed up so I can just hear it but not enough to disturb anyone. This has been a great system for two years. Until this morning. I woke up and one of my ears felt funny. I realised what it was when I went to take my earplugs out and realised one had somehow gone down my ear canal. This had happened a few times before so I did my usual methods to try and get it out but nothing was working. When I grabbed my ear camera I realised it had lodged at the end of my ear completely covering my ear drum. Bear in mind it is wax based and so it had practically assimilated to the shape of my ear canal. Despite some attempts to remove it with my numerous tools (I get bad earwax so I have a lot of ear clean...

So, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. I don’t have a pet of my own, but I love watching the neighborhood cats stroll through my yard. They’re like tiny, furry celebrities, and I’m their biggest fan. One day, I decided to spoil them with some treats. I bought a bunch of catnip toys, treats, and even set up a little water fountain in my backyard. I thought, “This will be so cute! Maybe one or two cats will hang out here, and we can chill together.” Well, apparently, word spread quickly in the feline community because by the next day, I had seven cats lounging around my yard. They were playing with the toys, rolling in the catnip, and just having the time of their lives. It was like I accidentally started a cat festival or something. At first, I was thrilled. So many cute cats! But then things got a little out of hand. The cats started inviting their friends (I swear, they were sending out some sort of kitty group text), and soon, I had a full-on cat conventio...

Context for this story, I make wedding films and I often use a drone to capture certain sequences for my films. Clients love it, the drone is fun to fly, and the clips you can get out of drone footage really adds a nice flair to the films. I am licensed by the FAA to fly small drones, meaning that as long as I follow all of the rules and regulations for the particular area/airspace I find myself in, I can fly my drone as much as I want for as long as I want. One important thing to notice is that the FAA can issue temporary flight restrictions for certain areas, meaning ANY drone is completely barred from flying in the area, regardless of the normal airspace classification. This will explain a lot going forward. I roll up to my set location as I typically do, with plenty of time to spare to set up my camera equipment. I just got my new suit dry cleaned, had a good breakfast, lots of water. I was feeling very confident and ready to shoot a wedding video worthy of Hollywood. I walked...

First of all I'm using throwaway cause I'm never letting this major L being linked to me Story stars in mid June when me ( 25F) and my high-school friends planned a little get together after like 3 years of not seeing each other back in our home town. So we all payed like 150 bucks each for a cabin for few days. Back then I specifically put the date in the calendar in big leters because it's like 12 hour ride from where I live now. Come back to few hours ago I get a message from my former classmate about when I will be arriving. Confused about what she is talking about I call her, the conversation going something like this ; CL: So when are you coming? If you got lost you just need to ( general direction about how to get to the cabin ) Me ; ( realizing I have probably wrong date ) I'm sorry I won't be coming we had unexpected family emergency Rest of the convo was just that she was sorry I couldn't make it and me lying my ass off while panicking inside Afte...

I (late 20s F) had a causal conversation with my boyfriend who is a farmer. We were cuddling in bed naked while getting ready to get in the mood. After i told him about my day he started telling me about his day. He was a bit worried because his crops are going to come out smaller than other years. In an effort to cheer him up I told him "you also have little nuts but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them". Refering to his testucles.In that moment it did sound like a compliment and to be honest he does have really small testicles. He immediately got up put on his shorts and told me he is going for smoking. Now he is mad at me and says sex is off the table for tonight as he is not in the mood. TL;DR I compared my boyfriends testicle with the size of his crops and he got mad at me

Remove if not allowed. Not today, but I saw a story recently that reminded me of this one, and my sister suggested I post it here. This happened two years ago so I’ll do my best to recount everything as it happened. Some background: I was still living at home at this point. My younger brother (I’ll call him Matt, 15m at the time) had been taking piano lessons since he was little and he got good enough to pick up teaching as a way to make some spending money. His students consisted of kids from our neighborhood, usually around 5-12 years old. This happened while our parents were out of town on a trip. The only ones home at the time were me (20F) my sister (Morgan, 22F), my best friend (Sarah, 21F) and Matt. Matt was teaching some kids who lived down the road from us. It was a group of three siblings (5M, 7M, and 9F) and the way he’d do their lessons was that he’d teach one at a time while the other two hung out and played with toys. At one point, 9F asks if she can use the bathroom....

I have two really unique rulers which are shaped like a wedge with the centre being hollow. Images at bottom. These rulers are a bit of a joke in my class because I'm known for dropping them in class, mostly accidentally. And boy do they make a loud noise, being heavy, metal and hollow. Basically a metal pipe. Anyway we were in science class, and making a model of a cell using modelling clay/play dough. I suggested the bright idea of using my ruler to cut the clay. It worked great, since it's a wedge shape. Here's my first FU. When the class ended, I took my ruler back and realised the entire thing was basically filled in with clay. Somehow, in using my ruler to cut the clay, my classmates had managed to shove it into the hole of the ruler. This was a few months ago. My second FU was just last week. I lender my ruler to my friend, and they said something along the lines of "oh my gosh it's still blocked?" My friend offered to use his pencil to push out the ...

So yeah, exactly that but lets get into the nitty gritty (pun intended). So my dad died a bit ago and he truly was not a good person or father but I wanted to do right by him. He legit had no one to come visit him in hospital and of course had no directives set up so I had to make decisions I never thought I would, yay for that. (People get your shit in order so your loved ones are never left in this position.) I get his cremains via mail, I decide to have a few people get together so we can spread a few ashes in a local lake that is important to me, and he also loved the water as well. Anyway later in the next week I realized I didn't want the rest of his cremations here, it just didn't feel right. So I offered to send most of them out to his former GF, who they always had an on/off relationship. She of course wanted them---great! I collect old bottles and I found the perfect small round one that was of course a bottle of holy water, with a cross on the other side. (For me...

Hello lovely people, first time on this subreddit but thought this might fit pretty well. 2 weeks ago a new intern started at my workplace (an institute) and she seems like a nice person. I myself am still a student (27M) and have a student assistant job there and work there already since 2,5 years. However, I am a bit of an overthinker and not really great in social situation. I rather listen to people than try to actively put myself into a spot. You might see where this is going. As probably a lot of people are aware of for introduction rounds from school or work there is sometimes always the weird situation where you have to think of a fun fact or something about you... So at the usual team meeting where she was the first time introduced to us, everyone should introduce themselves as well. Our head of the department said to just briefly say what we do and include EITHER a fun activity we like to do in the workplace (lunch, talk, coffee breaks, events etc.) or a trait that people...

For context, I had two hours of sleep, had to travel an hour to campus and had no access to caffeine. I was officially brain dead and was barely functioning. It was the very first lecture with this professor. She said, in a very professional manner, that “The citation for public prosecutor is PP”. It was as if her words triggered a knee jerk response. Having the humor of a 14 year old boy and in the midst of fighting to stay awake, I burst out laughing. It was an ugly laugh. It was barely a laugh; rather, a cacophony of noises I’ve never knew a human was able to produce, pouring out of my mouth. A monkey hollering at the sight of its buddy challenging the alpha male. A starving parrot screeching for food. A husky whining like the dramatic queen she is. My sentiment and seemingly lackluster sense of humour, was however, not shared amongst my peers. No one appreciated the concert symphony I had produced. Everyone stood silent, All eyes shifted their focus to me. The professor even st...

So for context: About 9 years I got a cat named Stevie, and he was living at my sister's house for a few years because I didn't have a good space for him. Note: My sister lives 4 hours away, this is important. About 6 years ago, I started really missing Stevie, he was the best cat I ever had and even though he had regular cat scratching things, I didn't care, I'd just let him scratch up my arms. I loved him so much and I was really missing him. So, in a moment of weakness and stupidity, I decided to travel with my parents to my sister's house to get Stevie. This is where it gets bad. On the way back, I could hear him basically screaming and crying. At that moment I hated myself, but what happened next was so much worse. He didn't let me pet him for like 5 days when we got home and then he ran out into the road. All because I moved him four hours from his home. This recently came back to haunt me in my nightmares. TL;DR: I basically killed my cat by moving hi...

So basically I had told my team and manager that I was taking Friday off last week but I don't have a lot of leave so I said I wanted to make up the workday on Saturday. Nobody seemed to think it was a big deal. So I just fill out my timecard as 40 hours like normal and head out and work on Saturday nbd. Anyways apparently my computer has a tattle tale because i eventually got asked if I worked that Friday cause no activity and I said that am not allowed to flex hours. So got reprimanded for falsifying my time card and warned about fraud. So I had to go back and fix my time cards which meant week 1 was now 32 hours and they retroactively removed some of my pay, but then week 2 was 48 hours and OT was not approved so I only got paid for 40. TL;DR Basically tried to swing a shift on the down low, got caught, pay docked and reprimanded but still worked an 80 hour pay period.

I had a really stressful day at my college and I really wanted a beer, maybe some food. I checked out “bars near me” on my GPS. I saw there was one within walking distance of campus so I decided to go. Anyway I ordered a couple drinks and they were good. Just as I was considering ordering a bite a blond girl sat down next to me and started chatting with me. I’m a 5’3 scrawny trans man who looks like he’s dead and hasn’t slept in two weeks. I was Medusa levels of ugly as a woman and probably even worse as a man hence why I was a little confused when a girl started talking to me. She asked me to dance and I politely turned her down because I’m gay and sort of with someone long distance. She seemed kind of sulky about it, I suppose she thought I was loaded even though I’m not. That was when I noticed her outfit and realized I had entered into a bar that was also a strip club. I finished my drink quickly and left. It was a very awkward experience. TL;DR: I entered a place I thought was a...

Went to see the movie It ends with Us. I didn't know anything about it other than Blake Lively was promoting it pretty hard and a I interview thay Ryan Reynolds did with her on screen love interest. So I just assumed it was a romantic comedy. Wasnt till day of going that I learned it was about DV. My gf of 6 months just left abusive marriage, a fan of the book, wanted to go so of course I went... anyways sitting uncomfortable in movie waiting for anything to happen, it happens, I pull her in cause she's starting to cry... then Blake's character says "It ends with us". I had a lapse of judgment and after years of watching stupid comedys or actions movies and always making a little comment when they say the name of movie as a statement, I patted her on the leg and nudged her as a "hehe she said it"... she's didn't look to amused but played it off afterwards that she didn't notice but I felt like a real idiot lmao TL;DR reacting to name of mov...

So today, literally 4 hours ago this all went down. I (23F) had a drug test for a dream job, one that would get me out of my current job, set me up with a whole new career, the whole shabang, I’ve done one test before back in high school but this was my first “professional” one. My partner and I went in to the office building where the lab is, I went in and was unable to…provide a specimen…so they said that I had three hours, I could drink maximum 12 oz of water, and to not leave the building, I said got it and went out to see my partner, the lobby was really cramped since people started coming in and I thought it’d be best to go to the hall and pace a bit to get stuff moving, I’ve heard movement helps you pee. I go back inside and the woman takes me back and tells me it was a refusal to submit, I ask what do you mean and she says that I left the building, I told her I hadn’t, I was in the hallway, and she said nope you left the building. I didn’t argue and that’s what she sent off...

Obligatory this didn't happen today, but a few years ago. So, this happened back in my final year of university, and it's one of those stories that makes you cringe every time it pops into your mind whenever you shower. I wasn't taking any physics courses, but I've always been a bit of a science geek. I have this friend, let’s call him Tom, who was in a physics-related course, and I'd occasionally go to some of his lectures just out of curiosity. On this particular day, there was a guest lecture from a company that specialized in atomic force microscopy. They were showcasing some research they’d done with their microscopes, and the microscopes themselves, and I was, of course, fascinated. Tom had this friend, let’s call her Sarah, who was also in his classes. I’d heard some stuff about her from him; she seemed like a really cool person, interesting, pretty cute, and so naturally I was hoping to get the chance to get to know her better, maybe be introduced by my ...

So I got into a fender bender today. I work at a hospital where the only parking available is in a pretty crowded parking garage. It's normal for me to circle for 5-10 minutes sometimes looking for a spot. Well, today I saw a good spot but there was a car parked just a wee bit over the white line, and the car on the other side didnt leave a wide berth either. I should have kept driving but I decided to try pulling into that spot. Never again. While pulling in I heard a little crunching/crackling sound and I knew I'd hit their bumper or something. I pulled away, reorient my car and pulled straight into the space. Istg my blood ran cold with fears of insurance, lawsuits, etc. I really panic about this kind of thing! So I called my girlfriend and sent her a picture of the side of their car to ask her opinion, should I leave a note, etc. Now my car has some previous damage on the front bumper, nothing serious just a lot of paint that is chipping off from when someone tapped me a...

Came to the realization as to how fucked I am today. To rewind back and give a little bit of context: I've got a pretty decent career history, education, and work experience for being in my early 30s. But, I put a lot of effort into...over accentuating... that experience when applying for jobs a few months ago and found my way into a VP of sales position for a mid-sized company after a long interview process I never thought I'd actually get. I'm also quite certain they think I'm older than I actually am but never asked other than the Sterling background check. To Start, I have a dual degree from a well-known SEC school, and an MBA from another very highly-ranked SEC school as well as some professional experience throughout that time in school working mostly full-time. A few years back, I took what was basically an internship, and was a "VP of Sales" for a small CRM company that looked bigger than it actually was. The owner of that company owned a franchise...
