TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by pretending I was an old west gunslinger and burned myself

TIFU this actually happened a couple years ago but I just thought of it today.

Anyone else love gunslinger tricks? Like those guys that can shoot silver dollars and flip pistols safely and shit? Good, me too, and have since I was a kid and saw tombstone, outlaw Josie wales and such. Me and my dad would bond over these movies, and I loved trying to replicate the tricks with my nerf guns, and toy caps guns and such, actually got pretty good for a 10 year old. Fast forward a buncha years, me and my dad didn’t watch the movies as much, but the gunslinger tricks had morphed into a fidget, I would flip just about anything around in my hand, ESPECIALLY if it had a ring/loop (like a revolver would have a trigger guard). My water bottle was one of my favorites at the time. Soon after that I got a job in a small town bike shop, and was gifted a metal coffee mug, think traditional shape, but lightweight aluminum, similar to some camp/travel mugs. That MUG was perfect for flipping around in my hand, I could even mimic some of the gunslinger tricks. It was around that same time I started drinking more coffee from the stress of the job and it was free. One morning I had come into work and went to grab my coffee mug from my work bench as I did every morning. I would always pick it up with a “gunslinger trick” flourish. Well this morning the other guy I work with decided to do me a solid and make me a cup of coffee when he made his. Unfortunately I was in my routine and didn’t notice, set my bag down and grabbed the mug flipping boiling hot coffee directly onto my bare arms and chest/belly. I shouted, tore my shirt off and the other guy came running into the repair shop from the other room, obviously startled by that. He asked what happened, and I angrily and confusedly told him I burned myself, he asked how I managed that, I snapped I wasn’t entirely sure, but coffee was the weapon. We pretty quickly figured out that it was my coworker that set the “clutz-trap” accidentally and with good intentions. He actually hollered at me when I walked in about the coffee and I didn’t hear him cuz of my headphones. As I have a history of hurting myself in many and minor ways, I have a bunch of nurse friends/relatives I call for quick advice. We called one or two, got some quick advice for me, then my coworker gave me a ride home after buying me some aloe Vera lotion as an apology. I didn’t blister so the burns weren’t bad enough for a hospital, I was just bright red from neck to waist. I was off the rest of that week and had a hard time lifting things and hugging for a month or two. Think “really bad sunburn”, was rough but coulda been worse.

TL;DR: Flipped a cup of coffee onto myself trying to be a “cool gunslinger” ended up being the “Kool-aid Man” instead, OHHHH NOOOOO

Edit: couple typos, also I just remembered that the same coworker also once left a bunch of those silver thumbtacks point up on the shop counter after doing the bulletin board, and I put my hand down directly onto them, Dude was amazing at accidentally setting “clutz-traps” right where I would hit them 🤣

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU while being spicy with my Gf

I 26M have a gf 22f. We enjoy sex with each other but wanted to spice it up as she wanted to try something new and I was all for it. She had me order cuffs, a blindfold, and a vibrating plug which I thought would be fun to try. I let her know when they arrived and a few days after they arrived she came over and we got ready. She had me out the cuffs on her and blind fold first before I did anything else, followed by getting the plug ready. I put what I thought was a good amount of lube on it as one does. Well sadly when I slowly put the plug in, it immediately went all the way in as off it was just sucked in followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHGHHHHH” which my dumbass at first thought “Oh she must really like it!” Until i realized it was from pain. I started panicking for a second then realized she was in pain, blind folded, and handcuffed. When I asked if she wanted me to take them off she said no and just sat there for about another 5 minutes. It didn’t completely ruin our spicey t...

TIFU by not getting visual confirmation on the lube he was using

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
