TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by shredding my license

Obligatory: this happened yesterday, but I guess it started during the COVID lockdown.

Way back in the days of lockdown, I had to renew my firearms license. Here in Canada, they're called a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) and they're super important to keep up to date. You can get into trouble if you let it lapse and own any guns. As a result, they go out of their way to make the process easy and painless. During lockdown when it was difficult or impossible for people to get a license photo taken, they were allowing renewals to carry over the old photo.

I completed the renewal process, and got the identical-looking license with the identical-looking photo. I followed the enclosed instructions: destroy the old one immediately and put the new one in a safe place. The old license went into the shredder, and the new one went into my fire safe.

And there it sat for years. I did target shooting in university, but since then I haven't had the money to keep up with the hobby. Depending on where you are in this country, firing range memberships can be cartoonishly expensive.

Fast forward to yesterday. I was cleaning out the family garage, and one of the important tasks was to get rid of the rinky dink little rifle that's been gathering dust (properly stored) in the rafters for years. Lucky for me, the local gun shop had just enough space to take it on consignment. It was a filthy and exhausting day, but I had just enough time to grab my PAL and get to the store before it closed.

We go through the inspection and settle on a price, and then he starts filling out the paperwork, which includes taking down my PAL info. Then, my FU blooms into full flower.

"Uhh, do you have a non-expired PAL?"

So it turns out that I put my brand new license in the shredder, put the old one away, and didn't notice the mistake for four years.

Lucky for me, the system is pretty well-run. He was able to put the number through the database and see that my license was valid, and even got the correct expiry date. I felt pretty bad about keeping him late, but he reassured me that it was the funniest thing he'd heard all day.

Now I need contact the CFO on Monday, report my license destroyed, and request a replacement. And they're gonna want to know what happened. So I get to tell the government how stupid I am.

TL;DR: I mixed up my new and expired firearms license, shredded the wrong one, and then didn't notice for four years.

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...
