TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU outsourcing my presents to be wrapped

This happened a few days ago, but it was about a month in the making.

In Nov, my(41M) and my daughter (11F) went Christmas shopping. We went to a high name beauty shop and bought a bunch of stocking stuffers for my wife (44F). My daughter kept them in her room until it was time to load the stocking. My wife, somehow found out where we went, but didn’t know what we bought her.

The following week, my wife gets an email from the same beauty shop…20% off coupon on all purchases. Rather than asking me to return everything and re-buy things, she wanted to take it all, return them, and re-buy things SHE wanted. Now, I didn’t realize this, but the location we went to was kinda of a medium size store, but there was a larger store a few more miles away that had designer stuff. So…my wife took everything we bought, returned it to the bigger store, and hands me a rather large bag with the things she wanted to be in her stocking AND other things I should wrap and give her at Christmas.

Here’s where the F-up happened. I am a lousy gift wrapper. I’ll wrap a present, but I don’t care about appearance. I would have loose wrapping paper, point corners where there shouldn’t be corners, and 10x more tape. I mean, you’re gonna tear the paper anyway, right? But my wife wanted the wrapping to look nice. My daughter wasn’t home, so I hand my son (14M) the plastic bag and I tell him “wrap these things for mommy.” And him being the typical teenager he said “fine, but it’ll be $20.” I scoffed but paid him the money.

Christmas Eve comes and as I start stuffing the stockings, I notice that my wife’s stocking is not full like usual. I also notice she has fewer gifts than last year. But what can I do now? It’s 11:30pm, I’m beat, and we are opening presents tomorrow.

Christmas Day, we are opening stocking and my wife gets 5 things in it…3 of them are small candies, 1 pack of gum, and a really expensive eye shadow set.

We move onto presents. And then my son brings a Christmas bag to my wife (he didn’t even bother to tape the top). My wife takes out the tissue paper and pulls out…the large plastic bag she handed me! Then she looks at me and says “really?” I look at my son and I go “really?” And he said “what?” All those nice presents and stocking stuffers were all in the large plastic bag. To make matters worse, the plastic bag also included dog shampoo and conditioner for our dog.

In the end, it was a fine Christmas. She got other nice presents from me and the kids, but this lesson learned for me and this is probably something she will not let go anytime soon.

TL;DR: wife gave me a plastic bag with things she wanted me to put in her stocking and other things to wrap. Paid my son to wrap the items, and he placed the plastic bag in a Christmas present bag and gave it to his mom on Christmas Day.

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...
