TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by Accidentally Releasing Hundreds of Crickets in My Apartment Complex

So, this happened yesterday, and I’m still horrified.

For context, I’m really into alchemy. I’ve been experimenting with potions, trying to come up with something unique (and let’s face it, maybe even a little illegal). Anyway, I recently read that crickets could add a “special” essence to my latest brew. I thought, why not? I ordered 500 live crickets from some sketchy bug breeder online and figured I’d let them “marinate” in my magical mixture before harvesting their… uh, energies. Seemed foolproof, right?

Wrong.

The crickets arrived in a massive box. I had them in a plastic bin, which I thought was secure, and I got distracted working on a different elixir (don’t ask, it involves mushrooms). Long story short, I didn’t notice the lid wasn’t fully on. Next thing I know, crickets are swarming my apartment like they were on some sort of jailbreak mission.

At first, I tried to scoop them back into the bin, but they’re fast. Way faster than I imagined. Crickets were jumping off countertops, hiding under the fridge, crawling into the vents—complete chaos. To make it worse, some managed to slip out my front door and hop down the hallway of my building. I could already hear my neighbors down the hall yelling things like, “What the hell is that noise?!” and “Why are there bugs everywhere?!”

And let me tell you, if you’ve never had hundreds of crickets loose in your place, the chirping is constant. It’s like being trapped in a never-ending nature documentary. I tried using a vacuum to suck them up, but all it did was freak them out even more. They scattered into every possible crack and crevice.

At this point, the whole apartment complex is basically infested. People started posting in the building’s group chat about the cricket infestation. Someone even mentioned calling in pest control. The landlord sent out a warning email, and I’m over here sweating bullets, pretending I know nothing about it.

TL;DR: I tried to use 500 crickets in an alchemy experiment, they escaped, and now my entire apartment building is dealing with an infestation of non-stop chirping crickets. And it’s my fault.

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...
