TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by not using hair conditioner

This is a relatively minor issue. Tl:dr I didn’t use hair conditioner for a couple of weeks and killed my hair.

I have had long hair since I was eleven years old, and I have, for most of my life until recently, used conditioner after shampooing. Some relevant backstory (apologies, it is stupidly long): In high school, I had started using my mom’s shampoo and conditioner set on my hair, because it was nicer and my hair was better with it. Until mom found out that I was the one using it up, and got mad because apparently that was her expensive fancy stuff. So I went back to the cheap generic stuff.

When I left for college, I bought a jumbo sized set of generic shampoo and conditioner to use. Then, that Christmas, mom gifted me a set of those fancy shampoo and conditioner. I didn’t want to use it all up, and even one use had a decent effect on my hair anyways, so I used the fancy set sparingly while mainly using the jumbo set. I soon realized, after my first year of college was over and I barely made a dent in those jumbo bottles, that that set it going to last me a while.

Now where the relevant part comes in: I decided to make a promise to myself, that when I had completely used up those jumbo bottles, I will be able to afford to use the fancy ones exclusively.

After I graduated and got an engineering job, I was making good money and both sets of bottles were getting down. As anyone familiar with shampoo and conditioner knows, I used up all the jumbo shampoo before the conditioner was out. I considered switching to the fancy kind then, but I wanted to use up all my old stuff before I use the nice stuff. Around this time, I had also impulsively bought a bar of shampoo at the farmers market. So I decided to use it until my conditioner was out.

Then, when I was so close to fulfilling my promise to myself, tragedy struck, and I found myself out of the job. Obviously, when job hunting, you don’t buy ridiculously expensive shampoo and conditioner. But I also did not want to buy a cheap generic set as well. So, I continued to use it until I ran out of the conditioner.

Now here is where my FU comes in. I recently got a new job, however things have been hectic lately and I have not had the time to go out and buy fancy stuff, and I am a bit cautious anyways since I am so new at my job. So, I continued my habit of using the fancy bottles sparingly, while regular using the generic. Except I was out of generic, and only used the shampoo bar. Over the last few weeks, my hair has been noticeably frizzier, however I attributed that to it being winter, stress and new medication. But then, then past week, I have noticed that when I come into work and take my hat and coat off, my hair is badly tangled, I mean borderline matted, even though I had brushed it before leaving for work. I started detangling it when I get to work, using my fingers, but I noticed that my hair was unusually dry and broke easily.

That was when I realized my FU. I had not used conditioner in quite some time, and now the condition of my hair is shit. I had never not used conditioner before, and did not know what would happen if I stopped using it. Well, now I do, and I don’t know how long it will be until it bounces back.

Lesson learned: use hair conditioner regularly.

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...
