TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by Playing Cuphead w/ my 4 y.o. Daughter

First, obligatory this didn't happen today, but last week.

Now, for those unaware, Cuphead is a video game where you run around in a '50's Disney art style game shooting finger guns at opponents to beat them. Before we go any further, I want to preface that there is a kids show based on this game on Netflix, which was her introduction to the franchise.

Now, the game is cutesy looking, but has some mildly darker implications, as the whole premise is that you are collecting the soul contracts of the bosses you defeat to give to the Devil. These undertones aren't anything a child would reasonably pick up on though and honestly is very tame as far as appearances and violence and whatnot.

We got to the last level, which is defeating the Devil, but first he asks if you're going to hand over the contracts per the characters agreement with him from the beginning of the game. I was curious about the result (it was a yes or no answer, which is the only time they offered a choice like this), so I took a second to look it up. It probably would have taken me about ten seconds in total to make sure I didn't make a bad choice here for her sake.

As I am doing this, having warned my daughter to give me a moment to look into it, she starts button mashing and selects "Yes". Spoiler free result: a very creepy end game screen, with accompanying music that made my daughter not want to play the rest of the night. Spoiler full result: the next screen shows Cuphead, Mugman, and Chalice (the playable characters of the game) essentially zombified with spooky expressions, sharp teeth, and fire surrounding them. The title screen music was also creepy when I tried to jump back into it. She refused to play anymore that night, but luckily the next night asked me to help her defeat the Devil. This was only last week, and she's already back to playing it with me, but I still felt pretty bad about it.

Also, for those asking that are familiar with the game, yes of course it's too difficult for her to actually reasonably play, I had cheats turned on for her sake so she could get through the whole thing and have fun.

TL;DR: Played a cutesy looking game with dark undertones with my 4 y.o. daughter, ended up scaring her into not wanting to play the rest of the night.

ETA: For clarifications sake, the show does not follow the same storyline or most plot points as the game, the only part that's somewhat similar (that I can recall) is at the end. Chalice's soul is taken by the Devil, and Cuphead beats the Devil in rock paper scissors to get her soul back. Otherwise, most episodes are standalone entries, and many include run-ins with the various bosses of the game, but without any fights.

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...
