TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by plunging my office's toilet

About 2-3 weeks ago a toilet in my office started to leak from under the caulk seal. Just regular clear water around the bottom of the toilet.

Maintenance came out 2 weeks ago and put in a new (now non elongated) toilet. Once we used it we realized that the toilet was barely adhered to the floor. You could shift the damn thing with 1 hand. I reached back out to our landlords for a fix. They came back out last week, thought they couldn't get it to adhere correctly due to a flange being in the way.

My guess is when they put it in initially they knew it wouldn't fit correctly due to it being much smaller than the original and they hoped we wouldn't notice. In the end, they realized they weren't up to the task and asked the landlords to send out real plumbers. Who are scheduled to come this upcoming 24th. 

This last Thursday I went to the bathroom after several others to the only toilet being used in our office now. I am a conservative paper user, i will make sure the job is done, but I will flush if I feel like we are getting too much paper in the bowl. I finish my cleanup and flush and it doesn't go down. Not like the paper clogged the toilet but like, water entered the bowl but did not go down the drain.

FUCK.

ME.

So i begin to plunge. I plunge for like 15 minutes and NOTHING is working. Over and over and over. After awhile I notice the plunger is ripped on the side. I go to Home Depot and buy 2 different HARDCORE plungers and return. What follows is an 80's montage of plunging. The floor is covered in water. My shoes are fucked, and this son of a bitch will not go down. I get a mop and clean the floors and call for backup.

Co-worker 1 Plunges: NOTHING.

Co-worker 2 Plunges: NOTHING.

Co-worker 3 then plunges for a good while and some paper comes back in the pipes.

The thing we all notice, we can hear the water rushing into the pipes when we plunge but it just wont flush.

After dumping drain cleaner, Dawn dish soap and other chemicals down the drain I try one last time. I felt like peter parker ripping apart as he tries to stop the train from flying off the rails.

Nothing.

I give up and email the owners again. Friday comes, a fifth co-worker tries plunging to no avail. We leave for the weekend confused and defeated.

I come into the office this morning....

SWEET FUCK does it smell. A smell you can't quite pinpoint. An odd mixture of sewer gas, shit, cleaning solution, and old pipes. I can't find the source. I'm climbing ladders to find something dead in the ceiling. Opening doors and huffing the smell like I have a fresh bag of paint thinner and I'm trying to forget my childhood.

No dice.

The rest of the office comes in, we light candles, Co-worker 1 brings in air fresheners. We open all the doors in our office to get something moving and we cannot figure it out.

After a few hours our neighbor from across the hall comes over to tell us she knows where it is coming from.  The emanating source... The building's janitor's closet.

I follow Co-worker 1 over to the room and DEAR LORD. What we find is still making me shudder.

The fill basin for mops holds about a foot and a half of BLACK water, definite chunks seen floating in the liquid. The room smells just as vague as the rest of the building only deeper and more pungent. There are boxes stacked around the room and they each have about a 6 inch SOAK line of crusty dark brown liquid.

The only theory I can come up with, is the maintenance dudes fucked up the flow of the pipes when they messed with the toilets. This  caused  our second toilet to stop flushing because the access to the sewer got fucked.

For hours, we must have been forcing SHIT water into the janitors closet. Spraying water all over the extra tiles, the boxes, the carpet, the supplies. FILLING this room with thick, rancid rotting shit.

It is fowl, and I am shaken.

 TL;DR: My whole office brute forced chunky shit water to spray all over the inside of our building's janitor closet over the course of 2 days.

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...
