TIFU - Robot Vacuum Edition

TIFU and lost the girl of my dreams.

I (25m) have been travelling Thailand the past 6 weeks (no this is not going where you’re thinking) and for the first time today i had a real romantic connection with a girl on the beach. She was from Germany and was completely stunning. I was genuinely a little taken back by how attractive she was as I noticed her struggling to enter the sea because there were so many sharp rocks and jellyfish. We got to chatting and walked along the shore together speaking about shells we had found and i noticed how cute it was when she’d get really excited mid conversation. She told me she recently left work bartending and was studying socio-economics and was pleased to hear i play tennis as it’s something she’d recently been playing with her mum. As i was speaking to her i felt a calm confidence that rarely occurs for me in first time interactions with people and i recognised that i really wanted to spend more time with this person.

We agreed to exchange contacts and walking back to get her phone i spotted an eye of shiva shell in the sand, having never found one before, I had really been searching since another traveler showed me one a few weeks back. I showed it to her and she beamed with excitement and i told her it was hers. The coincidences continued as she handed me her phone to put in my instagram and i told her how i’d never met anyone else who is still using the iphone 12 mini. She laughed and here’s where i fuck up. She had no signal so as i type my username in the search wont load, she tells me to take a screenshot and she’ll add me later. For some dumb reason, I asked her to take the screenshot as my hands were covered in wet sand from the shell. She took the phone back. I said goodbye to her and her sister and said i’d maybe see her in the week to which she said that would be nice.

Bounding with confidence, i strode off to my things just a little way down the beach and sat for half an hour or so before leaving just ahead of sunset. It’s now been 8 hrs or so since i left that beach and Ive spent probably the last 6 of them with the gut wrenching realisation that i likely left my future wife there with no way of contacting me.

I am still yet to hear anything from her and while typically i’d assume she just wasn’t interested, this felt like a genuine connection and Ive learned recently how i have a real tendency to fail to pick up on those signals. All in all, i am gutted and concerned ill now spend the rest if my trip hopelessly looking out for her. Really kicking myself for how i even passed on the opportunity to head back over and try get a signal on my phone as i just sat there on the beach afterwards. Here’s to hoping i wake up to a follow in the morning and thanks for reading my stressed out drivel.

TL;DR - met a gorgeous girl on the beach i really connected with and noted a couple of coincidences and romantic moments that have since convinced me she was my future wife. I fumbled typing my details into her phone and now haven’t heard from her since :(

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...

TIFU by paying attention in class

Today in psychology my professor was talking about discrimination and the way people can judge others based on initial impressions. I happened to be looking my professor in the eyes when he was speaking to us, which is what I do with everyone talking to me. For some reason he didn’t like this, he stared back at me and continued speaking until eventually he interrupted his lecture to call me out. He said, “you there in the hoodie! do you think anybody knows who you are?” in a slightly aggressive tone. I was completely caught off guard by this, and I felt a lot of anxiety and sudden tension in me rise. I eventually said “no” and he said “I could discriminate against you based on your hoodie.” I didn’t think anything was wrong initially because he could have just been trying to make an example out of me to add to the lecture, except he had never done this with any other student before which is what made me also think it could have been targeted. Everything was fine until I did it agai...
