TIFU by attempting to save a small child from a house fire

This happened a good 10 years ago, but I've been way too embarrassed to even think about posting it here. I guess today is the day.

I used to rent a house in a sleepy suburban part of town. Quiet street, pretty rare to see anyone walking around sort of place. The entire block was single family homes. One such quiet day, early October if I remember right, took my dog out for his morning walk. As we get to the top of the street, I see a dense plume of smoke coming out of the corner house's chimney. I knew the tenants who used to live at this place and was happy when they moved out (their dog attacked my dog at one point) - thought it was a bit weird since I thought the place was unoccupied.

I kept walking but for some reason my brain really found the whole thing unusual, so I turned around and went back for another look.

It smelled a lot like wood burning and the amount of smoke got me worried. I knocked on the door.. No response. Knocked again and waited.. No one came to the door, but I thought I heard a child's voice inside. Now I'm really fucking worried!

I call 911 and explain what I'm seeing. I told them it's probably nothing, but could they send someone over to check it out?

  • "Sir we have to treat this as a house fire, we're sending resources."

*gulp*

I wasn't far from the fire dept and it didn't take long to start hearing the sirens. All the sirens. OMG. A few minutes later the first truck shows up - and another.. and another.. and another. I realized pretty quickly that whatever was happening, most likely did not warrant this much trouble. But as soon as the first guy stepped off his truck and walked towards the house, I knew I fucked up. I still occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and remember him looking at me with the most disappointed look I had ever seen.

As a professional fire fighting wizard, he instinctively realizes houses have basements and that you can look at the fucking chimney so see whether it's coming from the basement or the main living area. I guess some of these guys also know what a fireplace is. A couple of them go around the back of the house and soon walk back to the front yard with a robe wearing dude, wondering wtf just happened and why someone would call the fire dept for using a fireplace.

Turns out he worked as a caretaker for the landlord and would sometimes stay in the basement unit. It all made sense of course but.. I was just trying to help :(

TL;DR: called 911 on what I thought was a house fire involving a small child, a bunch of fire trucks show up to find a guy enjoying his fireplace.

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...
