TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by popping a balloon and getting a black eye

There was a party at my place and everyone had gone home. My roommates were out till the evening and I was left bored and a little drunk. I started tidying up a bit but wasn't really feeling it. There was a few balloons on the floor and I stepped on one out of boredom. To my surprise, my foot sank into it and it didn't pop. Took both feet to do it. Then I had a drunken thought pop into my head. I wondered just how big these balloons could get if I kept blowing air into them. So I grabbed one, sat down and started trying to untie the knot. It was hard to do, especially as I'd been drinking, but I was determined and had nothing better to do. Eventually, I got the bloody thing untied and brought it to my lips. I started blowing it bigger, not really paying much thought to what I was doing. My partner hadn't blown them very big and it took a few breaths to make it feel really full. Then I carried on going out of curiosity, not really knowing what to expect. The bit you use to tie it started filling up and soon there was nothing left to hold on to. It was a bit of a struggle to keep it in my lips but I kept on going, surprised it hadn't popped. After a lot of puffing, and the balloon getting to quite a large size, I regretted my decision.

There was a bang like a gunshot and suddenly my eye was stinging like someone had hit me. It teared up and I thought for one drunken moment that I was going to go blind. After inspecting it in the mirror, it was swollen and there was a bit of a cut above my eye. I grabbed a bag of peas and sat down holding it against my throbing eye, thinking how stupid I was.

Then to make things worse, my partner came home. She thought I had gotten into a fight and started panicking. I explained what happened, then she hit my arm and called me a moron. She then told me there were bits of balloon all over the living room. It was like confetti. After telling me off, she had a look at my eye and said I got lucky it didn't do more damage.

So yeah, think things through before you act on random drunken thoughts. I almost lost an eye 😆

TL;DR I blew a balloon until it burst and it hit me in the eye, causing a bruise.

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU while being spicy with my Gf

I 26M have a gf 22f. We enjoy sex with each other but wanted to spice it up as she wanted to try something new and I was all for it. She had me order cuffs, a blindfold, and a vibrating plug which I thought would be fun to try. I let her know when they arrived and a few days after they arrived she came over and we got ready. She had me out the cuffs on her and blind fold first before I did anything else, followed by getting the plug ready. I put what I thought was a good amount of lube on it as one does. Well sadly when I slowly put the plug in, it immediately went all the way in as off it was just sucked in followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHGHHHHH” which my dumbass at first thought “Oh she must really like it!” Until i realized it was from pain. I started panicking for a second then realized she was in pain, blind folded, and handcuffed. When I asked if she wanted me to take them off she said no and just sat there for about another 5 minutes. It didn’t completely ruin our spicey t...

TIFU by not getting visual confirmation on the lube he was using

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
