TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by being dirt broke but still buying designer knockoffs while my GF and I are barely surviving

Me (23M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been struggling hard lately. We literally have bread but no butter, our dog Max gives us guilt trip stares because his bowl's been empty for 3 days, and we're washing dishes with Head & Shoulders because dish soap costs too much. Our fridge is just expired sauce packets and stale crackers at this point.

I work part time at this warehouse plus been trying random side hustles here and there but nothing's really panning out, while she's job hunting with zero luck. Basically we're both grinding but getting nowhere fast lmao.

Last month I'm scrolling at 2am after another failed attempt at making extra cash, feeling sorry for myself, when I find this sketchy site selling "designer" knockoffs. Fake Supreme for $30? My tired brain goes "yo I deserve this after busting my ass all week!" So I blow $120 on bootleg everything while we're literally rationing dog kibble 🤡

Packages arrive and it's straight trash. Supreme logo looks like it was drawn by a drunk toddler, Jordans smell like a chemical spill, hoodie feels like sandpaper. But I'm wearing this garbage thinking I look fly while my GF stress-eats plain bread for dinner. She finds the receipts while checking why we overdrafted again. The pure disappointment when she realized I wasted our last $120 on fake clothes, man I wanted to sink into the floor. She just goes "so you worked all week and tried all those side things just to blow it on fake Supreme while our dog starves?"

Now I'm back to the grind in my disintegrating hoodie, eating dry toast, realizing I really chose looking rich over feeding my dog. Nobody even complimented the fits btw. Galaxy brain financial decisions strike again đź’¸

TL;DR: Worked part-time and failed at side hustles just to waste money on fake designer trash instead of dog food, disappointed my stressed GF, learned that poverty flexing is peak stupidity

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...
