TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by trying to find the owner of the money I found on the ground

So let's start with this, i have been as poor as a brick the past few years, so much so that sometimes food becomes scarce and no for any internet to do any of my due homework. Even rent can become too difficult that we get kicked out. Today, when I came back home, i found about 800$ just spread in front of the house. it's an apartment complex, so i thought it must be a neighbour that lost so large of a sum.

I felt that it's too large for it to be a little mistake the owner wouldn't care about, and the pain inflicted on whoever lost it can be severe, especially when i recalled a similar situation when i lost money that i needed for survival, which resulted in one of the most depressing weeks i have ever experienced.

So i did what i thought was right, i collected the money from the ground, hid it somewhere near, and then put a piece of paper in the entrance with my number for anyone to call if they have lost money recently. I did this while fighting every devil in my head about keeping it and calling it a day. especially due to the fact that for me, This is a HUGE sum that could solve so many problems. Also, that this is more than all the money i currently have combined. But the depressing weeks i have been through due to the money i lost kept coming back to the memory, reminding me of how much this money may be needed for its owner.

Maybe that's the only money the owner has. Maybe they need it for medicine. Maybe it's the only money they are getting in months. I kept thinking of these reasons not to take it, which are projections of my personal problems throughout my lifetime.

Hours go by, someone calls. It's about the lost money, so we said we should meet in the front of the house. I ask him how much was lost? He says 1000$. And he describes a place that's close to the lost money. I was confident that it's his because everything checks out, so i hand it to him from the hidden place. Telling him all i found was the 800$ so he says he'll be looking up the rest, then i just told him where exactly i found it and went home.

Hours later, i get another call. He's accusing me of pocketing the difference, and then he threatened me to call the police. At that moment, i just wanted to punch my guts. I felt terrible. Neither have i gotten one penny from this, nor is the gesture of taking from my time to help is recognized. This is the worst outcome that i never thought could ever happen after acting morally. Now i think every devil in my head is winning the argument, i should have taken the money regardless of the compassionate delusions i had.

TL;DR:

Tried to help bring money that i found to its owner, then got accused of stealing some of it.

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...
