TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by giving my cat the wrong meds

Our male cat is about 13, with long orange fur. He sheds like crazy in the spring, so we get him professionally groomed. He is NOT a fan of being groomed. Our vet prescribed a mild sedative to eliminate his anxiety, and to protect the groomer from being mauled to death! We give him one the night before and another one about an hour before his appointment. We refer to these as his Happy Pills.

A few months ago, he was having some digestive issues (hairballs complicated by his love of eating dried leaves he catches in our tiny backyard). Another trip to the vet gets a clean bill of health since he seemed to be past the worst of it. The vet prescribes an appetite stimulant since he hadn't eaten much for a couple of days (this was our big clue that something was wrong because he ALWAYS eats his entire meal). We didn't need to give him any of the pills, and just put them in the medicine cabinet and forgot about them.

Fast forward to this week to prep for his grooming appointment. I give him his evening dose of his happy pills, and we all go to bed. Around midnight, he was unusually vocal and woke us up. I ignored it and went back to sleep. The next morning, again, he was very insistent that he was ready for breakfast (I've trained him that if he pesters me too much, it just delays getting fed). I feed him and set a reminder to give him his next dose an hour before we head out for his day at the spa.

I go to give him his second dose and realize these pills don't look like the ones that I remember giving him in the past. Sure enough, he is far from calm, he is pestering me to feed him again. I quickly realize my mistake and give him his happy pill and hope that it's enough to get him through his appointment. We've had to reschedule in the past because he just wasn't having it that day.

As silly as this seemed in the moment, we had no experience with him taking an appetite stimulant. The next 48 hours seemed like an eternity. He was bugging us every time we walked into the kitchen, crying incessantly, wanting to be fed.

TL;DR: I gave our cat an appetite stimulant instead of a sedative to prep him for his grooming appointment. He bugged us constantly for 2 days to be fed.

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...
