TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by freezing up during a group presentation

I (22F) just finished a group presentation for one of my classes. Holy hell do I feel like the shittiest person on earth.

We rehearsed and practiced it like 50 times and were confident we would do great. I didn't slip up when we practiced and knew exactly what to say and when.

Then it was time for the actual presentation.

I started out fine in the beginning, just a few jitters. Then, in the middle of the presentation, I don't know why, or how, but I just completely lost my train of thought. I completely blanked. And as I saw that slightly confused look on the faces of the entire class and my professor, I froze even more and started panicking inside. But my teammates got a read of what was going on and moved on. Then when the presentation was nearing the end, I somehow got my shit together and finished somewhat strong.

But oh my god oh my god, I feel like a monster. I feel so guilty for messing up like that, especially considering the weeks of effort I put into this. I can't believe I slipped up like that.

After it was over, I apologized to my teammates. They all did so well and I was the only one who fucked up. They reassured me and told me I did great and that we're a team. I'm so so grateful, but in the back of my mind I feel like I lost their trust. Like they will never see me as a reliable teammate.

I have to work with them for the rest of the year. I have to see my professor and classmates for the rest of the year. I feel like deep down my teammates are disappointed with me. I get it, I would be too.

We got an A on the presentation, so I'm relieved my teammates' grades did not tank because of me.

But I definitely let them down.

We have another presentation coming up, so I want to do everything I can to make sure I don't freeze again and redeem myself.

I hate group projects with a passion and I hate working with teams. But trust me when I say that the teammates I have right now are actually the most understanding, caring, responsible, and hardworking team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I hope I can prove myself to them and regain their trust.

TL;DR: Froze up during a group presentation and now I feel like shit.

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...
