TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by throwing my girlfriend a surprise birthday party

So this happened yesterday and I still feel like the world’s biggest idiot. My girlfriend (27F) and I (29M) have been dating for almost a year. Her birthday was coming up and I wanted to do something special. I’m not exactly the “grand romantic gesture” type, but I thought hey, a surprise party would be cute. I invited some friends, bought decorations, and even got one of those obnoxious confetti cannons because I thought it would be hilarious. Here’s where I majorly f***ed up: I forgot that she has PTSD related to loud noises. She’s told me about it before, and I knew it was a thing, but in my tiny peanut brain I thought, “eh, she’ll be fine, this is different.” Spoiler: it was not different. She walks in, the lights flick on, everyone yells “SURPRISE!!!” and I set off the confetti cannon. Instead of laughing, she immediately collapsed to the floor shaking and crying. Party goes dead silent. My friends are looking at me like I just punted a kitten into traffic. We ended up spending the rest of the night in the ER because her panic attack got so bad she couldn’t breathe. Thankfully she’s okay now, but she is (rightfully) furious with me. I’ve apologized about 600 times but I know this one is going to take a while to recover from. So yeah. Instead of being the thoughtful boyfriend who pulled off a fun surprise, I became the dumbass who turned his girlfriend’s birthday into a trauma flashback session.

TL;DR: Tried to throw my girlfriend a surprise birthday party, forgot she has PTSD with loud noises, triggered a massive panic attack, spent the night in the ER.

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...
