TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by vomiting at a huge, career impacting speech because I was stubborn.

Whelp, all time low for me. I’m a 28m, I suffer from cluster headaches and for those who are unfamiliar it’s a neurological condition that is truly a 10/10 on pain scale. I’m not going to pain dump, but it’s important for context to understand that the pain you experience during a cluster period is absolute insanity.

I’m c-suite in a mid sized corporation, I got promoted extremely quick in a startup-esque company I joined back in 2021 and have been riding the wave since. There is a large, yearly conference for our industry that hosts just shy of 3000 people. I was asked to be one of the main four speakers to represent our company and I was ecstatic. I even flew my parents out. At rehearsal I got my first headache and immediately went back to my hotel room for a Triptan injection. After about 30 minutes of agony I started to feel better, returned to the rehearsal just as it was wrapping up.

I don’t tell people I suffer from cluster headaches, the only people who know are my close family members and friends. At this point the morning before my speech I’m a nervous wreck, I feel like shit, and I can tell I have a headache coming on. I’ve managed to fight through them before, and I really didn’t want to give up this moment so I powered through.

About 8 minutes before my speech starts the headache hit me. Sweating, nausea, pain, it’s getting progressively worse but I just have to make it through 15 minutes of public speaking. NBD. I go out onto the stage, walk up to the microphone and at this point I’m dizzy. I start speaking (very slurred) and only a few words in I start vomiting. I’m literally on my hands and knees and thankfully I had a very loyal friend come out and help me off stage.

I was accused of coming up drunk (awesome), stage fright (sweet) and loads of other things. Because no one knows I get cluster headaches, speculation is rampant within our company. Obviously I will never get another opportunity to speak again at said industry event. I also currently have a headache 😂

So make sure you don’t hide things like this, and don’t go up and do a public speech with a cluster headaches.

Tldr

I get cluster headaches, I got one before a large speech and threw up all over the stage because I was too stubborn to tell anyone.

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...
