TIFU by spreading spilt diesel on a shared parking area

As I drove into a shared outdoor parking area, my car leaked diesel, leaving a mess everywhere. I initially tried to soak it up with baking soda—since that was all I had—but then, in a moment of poor judgment, I rinsed it with water. That only made things worse, spreading the diesel across multiple parking spots.

I've been pouring water on it and scrubbing, but I’m worried it’s going to leave a permanent stain. I have no idea what else to do, and from what I’ve read, diesel doesn’t evaporate and tends to stain concrete.

The parking area is managed by the company that oversees my flats (UK), so I plan to report it to them and face whatever consequences come my way. I have home insurance, and I’m hoping it might cover the damage—otherwise, I have no way to pay for it.

For some background: a few weeks ago, my car's fuel injector failed. After waiting nine hours for breakdown assistance, it was eventually towed home the next day. I hired a mobile mechanic to fix it, which went fine at first. Then, my ABS sensor failed, causing the car to judder, so the mechanic returned to fix that too. After driving it again, I noticed fuel leaking onto the ground. Upon inspecting it, I realized it was coming from one of the pumps. The mechanic came back and repaired it but insisted he hadn’t touched that part. I can't really argue with him. Altogether, these repairs have already cost me around £1,200.

I’m naturally an anxious person and an overthinker, and right now, I feel like I’ve seriously messed up with no way out.

TL;DR: My car leaked diesel in a shared parking area. I tried to soak it up but then poured water on it, causing it to spread. Now I’m worried it’ll leave a stain and cost a lot to fix.

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...
