TIFU By accepting a house sitting gig

l live in New England and I am house-sitting. Maybe pet sitting is a better description. Either way, I'm supposed to basically live at this house for two weeks. A handful of adorable cats and dogs. Easy money!

Except...

The light was on upstairs after I came back from the store. I did not turn it on. I am certain I did not turn it on. It was not on when I slept last night. I have not gone to that floor more than once because the cats don't go there, there are no litter boxes to scoop, and there are no open doors the cats could get into. I thought maybe it had been on the whole time, but then the light was turned off when I checked later on today.

They didn't say anyone would be staying with me. If someone else was here, why would they need a sitter?

I checked the rooms but found no one. Nothing else has really indicated another person is here. No food missing, no cooking. Some noises like someone walking around or like plumbing is running somewhere, but it's an old house.

I haven't seen another person. But how else would a light turn on and then back off again?

This is not a smart home. It's old and falling apart.

I have to tell myself they're on a timer, but it's freaking me out. The cats and dogs seem calm. Surely if the pets are calm, there's no intruder. The homeowners are unreachable.

I can't leave the pets. I agreed to watch them and they're very picky about their litter boxes (will poop in the sink if they aren't scooped twice a day.) also, I need to replace my windshield and so a house sitting gig will help me save for that.

TLDR; TIFU by agreeing to housesit and potentially rooming with an intruder. I can't do anything about it because if I leave, the pets would be on their own.

ETA: The homeowners are unreachable, and nothing else in the house operates on a timer. The light is on the ceiling, and both the light and the switch are identical to the rest of the lights and switches in the house.

Update!! Got curious. Took out the bulb. Not a smart bulb. Relatively new looking, no soot in the bulb. Flipped the switch and the light turned on.

Second update: Checked the attic! No one was there. Kinda small for anyone to live there. Family is relatively new to the area. Fixture is not a smart fixture. Dogs are small. Have not heard any additional noises tonight. Doors are locked now, no one is in any room of the house. Going to bed under the assumption a cat flipped the switch, but leaving hot cocoa out for the ghosts.

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...
