TIFU By accepting a house sitting gig

TIFU by not being able to stop pronouncing “V” as “Ved”

Okay, for context I am a Canadian high school student who while on summer break took a job to tutor a boy who just finished Grade 4 and due to Covid happening when he was in very early grades he is behind on both reading/writing and math.

Now, as a Canadian it's a right of passage to make fun of Americans and in early elementary school one of my teachers brought up the fact that Americans pronounce the letter "z" as "zee" instead of "zed" which is more common in Canada. She told us jokingly that maybe the reason that Americans pronounced it as "zee" was to have it rhyme with "v" in the alphabet song and since then me and my friends have joked about pronouncing "v" as "ved" to make it rhyme with "zed" in the alphabet song.

Now at first I only used this when I was talking with my friends and when spelling words out to them I would say "ved" instead of "vee". But it's been many years since we started doing it and now it's stuck. Whenever I need to remember how to spell a word, or my computer password which has a "v" in it, or when singing the alphabet song in my head to remember the order of letters to search through a dictionary or whatever, I'll always say "v" as "ved"

Anyway, all that brought us to my tutoring job where I have to walk through reading with a kid and unfortunately anytime I mention the letter "v" (which happens more frequently that you would think) I accidentally say "Ved" this has happened multiple times and every time the boy looks at me like I have 2 heads and I have to apologize and correct myself. To make it even worse the kid's mom sits in from the room beside the one me and the kid are in and she definitely hears me struggle to say "v" properly. I have to really pay 100% attention to the letter in order to say it properly because right now "Ved" sounds more natural and correct and "Vee" just sounds wrong.

TLDR: I keep pronouncing the letter "v" as "Ved" to a boy I'm tutoring because of an inside joke with my friends made to dunk on Americans.

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...
