TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

So this takes place about a week ago as of my writing this, but I was at ye olde Walmart doing some grocery shopping. I had my headphones in, I was combing the aisles, I was listening to a podcast and I called my mother to ask if I needed to grab anything for the house. She says milk, so I detoured to the dairy section for a gallon, then make my way back to soft drinks and I see one of my favorite drink back in stock, the Cherry Lime Sprite. I put my phone down on the shelf to grab a 12-pack and set them in my cart. At some point in this interaction, a lady doing her shopping behind me notices my phone, the one I literally had in my hand and just set on the shelf, and thinks it's been abandoned and scoops it up to take it to the lost and found all the way across the store. Now I didn't notice it was missing, I had actually been able to end the call with my mother and resume my podcast, only noticing it wasn't with me whenever the episode ended and I couldn't change to the next episode. Naturally, I'm freaking out because my phone is everything, it was a phone I bought straight out (a phone from the ZFlip series, I busted my ass to buy it) and it had pretty much my whole life on it. I manage to track down an employee, who offers to call it. When she does, and employee from up front answers, saying, "Yes, hello, this is Customer Service, someone brought your phone to the front!"

I leg it up to the front as fast as I can, and make it to the customer service counter. I tell them my phone was brought here and they were like "Tell us a little bit about the phone" and I'm telling them "it's black, a flip phone, has a Stitch popsocket"

They tell me "Yeah, that's sounding a lot like a phone we just got in" but because it's an expensive phone, they're worried I'm just saying it's mine when it isn't, and they need me to describe the lockscreen background.

Here is where I freeze.

My phone background is actually kinda funny, but only in a fandom way. I had changed it after the Daredevil: Born Again episode "Isle of Joy" aired where Matt goes to see Bullseye in prison and their rather violent conversation takes place (iykyk). It's a horny ode to that episode, where it's a Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs with the entirety of the chart just being "getting mocked and having my hair pulled by Matt Murdock."

And I realize I have to explain this to the employee to get my phone back.

Which I do, saying "it's a hierarchy of needs; or rather, just one" while this old person is just scrutinizing my phone lockscreen to try and make it make sense. She then shoves it back into my hands, going "yep, sounds right!" She won't make any kind of eye contact with me. And well, I can't blame her.

TL;DR: lost my phone at Walmart, had to explain the horny meme that was the lockscreen to get it back. Got my phone back, dignity to be determined.

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...
