TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by wearing yesterday's pants

The day started with me continuing to troubleshoot a network issue within the house that absolutely defies logic and everything I know to be true, but I won’t dwell on that since it’s just the appetizer of a full on 6-course shit dinner. 

Flying out to Dallas today. I tossed on my pants from yesterday, grabbed my shit and out the door. 

I hop a train, hit the airport and realize to my horror that I have a knife in my pocket. It’s a $300 knife so I’m not down to toss it and while I could probably go home/back, it would push me close for my flight. So I weigh my options. 

Can I mail it home?? Nope. No post box or anywhere to buy stamps/supplies. 

I can check luggage for free! Let’s do that! 

I have my laptop bag and a cpap machine that I’m carrying on. I don’t want to check either because of the abuse but think I may be able to fit my laptop in the cpap bag. So I find a spot and start sorting through my shit. I pull out my work phone, my kindle and laptop. Those are what needs to stay with me. 

Fuck! The laptop is too big. 

Okay next plan. Find a piece of luggage. $50 later and I’m set! Unplanned bag purchase but whatever, it’s a bag I’ll reuse. I toss the knife and a couple work shirts into it and check it. 

Off to security and the gates! Security wants all laptops, kindles, iPads etc out of bags so I pull out my laptop….. wait. Where the fuck is my kindle?!? Goddamn it! I forgot the fucker when I shifted things around. 

I bail from security and rush back to where I would have left it. Nope (duh). Rush down to lost & found who laughs at me and says “check back in a day or two”. 

At this point I’m like suicidal or postal. Can’t quite tell which but I get to the delta lounge for a beer and to try and figure my fucking life out. 

And then my flight gets canceled pushing me out 3 hours.

Whatever day you’re having, at least it’s not mine. 

But the upside is I’m midday drinking with a lot of justification. 

In the lounge, I have the kindle marked lost/stolen so perhaps I may get it back.  When I get to Dallas I realize that I bought it with my Amex and they have purchase protection which covers things like this, so I file a claim and order a new one.

I get back home 4 days later, and unpack my bag, and FIND MY GODDAMN KINDLE!! It slid to the absolute bottom of a pocket that only unzips half way down the bag, so with the bag being stuffed I never felt it and miraculously didn’t notice it in Dallas when I had unpacked.  Returning the unopened kindle to Amazon and canceled the Amex purchase protection claim.

TL;DR: Accidentally brought a knife to the airport leading me to thinking that I lost my kindle, setting off a chain of events only to find my kindle 4 days later.

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...
