TIFU by trying to unclog my kitchen sink and making it 10x worse

My kitchen sink had been draining a little slow for a couple of days. Instead of calling maintenance (I rent), I figured I could fix it myself. I had been doing well saving money lately, picking up small freelance gigs, and I didn’t want to waste it on something I thought would be a five-minute job.

First, I tried pouring some baking soda and vinegar down the drain, the internet’s favorite solution. Nothing happened. So I got brave and decided to take apart the P-trap under the sink. I watched a 5-minute YouTube video and figured I had it handled.

Well... I did not have it handled. The second I loosened the pipe, a wave of gross, stagnant water exploded out. It didn’t just spill, it shot out across my kitchen floor.

In my panic to catch the mess, I bumped the pipe even harder, fully snapping it off the wall connection. Now, instead of a slow drain, I had a full open drain pouring water into my cabinet and floor every time I turned on the faucet (which, of course, I reflexively did while trying to clean up).

I ended up having to shut off the water completely and call emergency maintenance anyway, which cost me extra because it was after hours. And I had to explain that I "accidentally removed part of the sink plumbing." Not my finest moment.

The best part? The original clog wasn’t even in the P-trap. It was further down the main line.

Lesson learned: sometimes paying a little upfront saves you a lot later.

TL;DR: Tried to DIY fix my slow-draining kitchen sink to save money, ended up breaking the pipe, flooding my floor, and paying extra for emergency repairs.

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...
