TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU By Trying to Embody Maple Bars

I love indie perfumes.

I use smell to create stronger memory association for myself and provide a small dose of daily joy by occasionally catching whiffs of good scents; but I always apply just enough (usually one or two puffs) to keep it personal and no one should be choking on a cloud of my preferred fragrance by any means.

I recently re-acquired a special edition scent that I saved for myself prior to leaving for an overseas deployment and I was over the moon to discover it smelled like freshly baked maple bar donuts.

This past week has been particularly bad for mental health, but I got a small boost to my day yesterday when a coworker brought in donuts, so I thought I'd give myself a lil pep-scent of this maple bar perfume to get through the last workday of the week.

Got to work and everything is fine, typical Friday, but as I'm bringing parts back to our warehouse to wrap up for the day I notice 2 coworkers visibly hunting for something.

It was evident they were looking around in a "can't figure out where this thing is" way, so I ask what's going on, and the conversation goes a little something like this:

"Yeah we keep smelling antifreeze and we have no idea where it's coming from. It comes and goes but it's super faint so we're trying to figure out if we're imagining it or what."

"Antifreeze? What does antifreeze smell like?"

"Like, uh, breakfast. Sweet pancakes, fresh maple syrup kind of scent."

"... You don't say."

I was the problem.

Every time I had gone about my work tasks of picking up parts and dropping things off, I'd walk around enough to leave faint traces of eau de donut and inadvertently made my coworkers hunt for a nonexistent antifreeze leak for the entire workday without even realizing it.

I didn't say anything because I know they'd never let me live it down if I confessed to wearing antifreeze perfume to a job that handles armored vehicle repair parts processing, so I've just resolved to never wear it to work again.

We all made it through the day, no real antifreeze leak was discovered, and my donut perfume is now firmly in the "only on weekends" category."

TL;DR: Wore maple bar perfume to work and drove my coworkers crazy as they hunted for a non-existent antifreeze leak.

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...
