TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by terrorizing my young daughter

Okay, not today, but you know the deal.

So last year my daughter (who was nine at the time) watched some shows on, I think, Peacock. Normally all went well, but one issue; they ran advertisements for a new tv show about Chucky, the killer doll.

And the ads scared her to DEATH. She could fast forward past them, but she developed this crazy fear of Chucky. And no matter how much I reminded her it was just a doll, that she could beat an doll up even if it was real, and even when I told her the history of it, about how the movie started when I was young… she was so scared.

So, one day I am walking through town, and I walk past this second hand vintage cool stuff store. You know… old lunch boxes and vintage posters and action figures and all of that?

And what is in the window? An original Chucky doll?

How crazy! I mean, when was the last time I saw a Chucky doll? I mean, when was the last time ANYONE saw a Chucky doll? So I snap a photo, because how perfect? I can show my daughter that it really is just a toy… like an actual, not moving around doll, just a dumb toy!

I end up at home, and I go “Oh hey babe, I have to show you something I took a photo of!” She runs over… “What, what?” And im like “Oh it is a surprise!” and I turn the phone towards her, and voila!

Aannnnndddd she bursts into horrified tears. “OMG IT IS CHUCKY! WHERE DID YOU TAKE THIS?!”

Uhhhh… oh, right by the Italian place? At the second hand cool store?

And she FREAKS OUT. “OMG HE IS RIGHT THERE! THATS LIKE A MILE AWAY! HE IS SO CLOSE, AND HE IS REAL! WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THAT? WHY WOULD YOU SURPRISE ME WITH THAT?!“ And here I am, realizing that I did the EXACT opposite of what I intended to do, and obviously it was not going to make her feel better and I am an absolute and total moron. And I had to comfort her for the entire night.

TL;DR Like a total moron, I scared my daughter with a photo of a doll that scares her to death because I thought somehow it would make her feel less scared.

one edit: she’s fine now:) the fear lasted like a week. now she just reminds me what a moron I was.

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...
