TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by trying to decorate my rented space

I rent a room from my parents cuz it's cheap, I can save money, and they get a part time caregiver (my mother is frequently sick). They just bought a house, brand new build, never been lived in before. Beautiful white walls with a subtle gray trim, doors, cupboards. Brass furnishings and handles. Lots of sunlight all day long from long windows scattered elegantly throughout the house.

My dad is a tinkerer at heart, so he's poured a lot of time into the house. Built a fence around the backyard, searched high and low for cabinets to match the others already there, brought in new cabinets to expand the kitchen, screwed them into place on a backboard screwed to the studs in the wall. He's fixed the garage to his liking, has got a lil man cave going on in the back bedroom, hired a contractor to match the marble counter and backsplash in the kitchen to the expanded cupboards.

He just bought himself a new lawnmower and his next project is to build himself a little work shed in the backyard that both suits his needs and complies with HOA laws.

When we first moved in, the realtor left nails in the walls from hanging decor. My dad flipped. Said there'd be no holes in his wall, that they'd better compensate him for the damages, warned mom and I not to go sticking stuff into the wall.

We've been here almost two months, so I bought myself some command strips to start hanging some of my artwork and tapestries in my room. Id tried them with my tapestry before and it never really worked, had to use thumb tacks, but I love that tapestry so I was determined to make it work while following my "landlord's" rules.

Obviously, the tapestry kept falling so I've abandoned that beautiful piece of artwork. Now I just have to remove the command strips. RIIPPP, ohhh there goes the beautiful white paint.

So I've stuck the command strips back in place until I can color match paint and try to fix my mistake... The only bad thing is I've got 3 other items hanging from those same command strips. I will never remove those items in my entire life.

TL;DR: "Landlord" says no holes in wall (tacks, nails, etc), I try using command strips, take off a chunk of the paint in a brand new highly personalized home two months into living there. Now I gotta fix it before the landlord finds out.

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...
