TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by reporting my car stolen… and making the cops find it right where I parked it

So this happened a couple days ago, and I’m still dying inside from the secondhand embarrassment I gave myself.

I live in a neighborhood with annoying parking rules. Every other week it feels like there’s street cleaning, construction, or some other reason I can’t park in front of my house. That day, I came home exhausted from work and ended up parking a couple blocks over on a side street. No big deal… or so I thought.

The next morning, I end up waking up late and super disoriented, grab my keys, and head outside to leave for work. My car is GONE. I’m instantly in panic mode. I pace the street. I check up and down the block like 5 times, as if it might magically appear. I even ask my neighbor if they saw anything (shoutout to Lisa, who definitely thinks I’m insane now). After spiraling for 20 minutes, I call the police to report it stolen.

Fast-forward a couple hours: I get a call from the officer I spoke with.

“Sir… we found your vehicle.” “Oh my God, where?!” “Exactly where you parked it. By the corner store on Maple.” (Literally a 4 minute walk)

At that point I’m torn between relief and wanting the earth to open up and swallow me whole. Yep. I had completely forgotten I parked it there the night before. And now I got to pay the impound fee because they towed it as part of processing the report.

So yeah, TIFU by creating my own car theft situation. Cost me $200 and probably put me on the local PD’s “guy who cries wolf” list.

TL;DR:

Parked my car down the street, forgot, thought it was stolen, reported it. Cops “found” it where I left it. Had to pay the impound. Still cringing.

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...
