TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU By Being Too Polite And Missing Out On £100 And Free Tattoo Removal

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 uncomfortable making a profit out of your tattoo with it been for what you told me.
I've spoken to the owner and we would like to refund you. Can you send me your back details and I'll send you the money back. Also any furture sessions will also be free.

I Was speechless, it was just such a kind and generous gesture, one of those faith in humanity restored moments. I Felt so lucky and humbled at once. I Was short on money at the time and was a bit stressed about the costs of more treatments, so this was a real life saver.

I Didn't know how to respond, as greatfull as I was just accepting the money somehow didn't sit right. Like when someone makes and offer like this you're not supposed to just, snatch it out their hand, right?

I Decided to settle my dilemma of doing the dance if politely refusing the money, but of course with the hope they'd, politely insist

Oh my that is incredibly kind and generous of you both to offer, thank you so much. I Would feel bad though, I know you have a business to run and living to make, I'm not sure I'd feel right recieving a free service from you, though it is very appreciated!

I Pressed send, and waited eagerly for the reply.

There has been no reply. They did not do the dance.

It's been a few weeks, at this point I'm guessing they saw it and thought, 'Well I guess we can't force her'

Frick. I Really coulda done with that refund. But I chose politness over money...I Sure better have some good karma coming my way

By the way, since this I also got offered a free weekend stay in a luxury holiday cottage, and screwed that up too by not booking it off work in time. So it seems a theme for me rn to get offered free stuff and fumble it. What does this mean?

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...
