TIFU sleeping with my sleeping gf

TIFU by not double checking a hose.

This did actually happen today.

I got myself one of those Nasalfresh MD things, basically a sinus flushing system that both pushes water in and sucks it out the other side into a waste water tank. Figured it'd work better if my sinuses were stuffed up to where a regular neti pot just didn't work.

Been using a neti pot for years as I have seasonal allergies and using it daily/every other day really helps.

Anyway, part of the instructions for this thing say to use the 'gentle' mode for the first month then work up. The third mode is called power wash in the manual.

So, I read the instructions, watch the videos, get all set up, turn it on and...not much happens.

I can feel a little suction but can't feel the salt water moving. I take the thing out of my nose, just press the button and wait to see how the water flows. It seems to be sort of trickling out, which seems weird. But, ok, water is flowing, I just need to be patient and my nose is a little stuffed up anyway.

After awhile, nothing really seems to be happening, water in the tank isn't going down and it's certainly not going up to flush my sinuses out. I THOUGHT I checked the hose and it looked straight, even gave it a little tug to 'make sure', so like a genius I turned the power up.

Still nothing. The pump got louder, but not much in terms of extra water came out. Put it on level 3, the "power wash setting".

Thought maybe it was my position so I stood up a little straighter, still not turning off the thing, since I didn't really need to lean over the sink the same way you do with a regular neti pot.

...and when I did that it pulled the kink in the hose free because it needed the extra slack.

In the literal 2 seconds it took me to realize what was happening and take my finger off the button that kept the pump going I'm pretty sure I got water up behind my eyes (it sure felt like it), I KNOW it was in my ears. Not just the tubes, it had power washed it through the sinuses, into my ear tubes, and straight into the ear canal, down my throat, and of course flooded my poor sinuses.

It HURT too! I was pretty sure for a few seconds I'd really fucked up my ears due to how much saline coming OUT of your ears from the inside felt.
Took almost an hour to clear all the water out of my ears and nooks and crannies. I felt fine after that, but the next time I went to use the thing it was on the 'gentle' level and had no issues.

Bonus: If you like gross stuff, the waste water tank of that thing is full of whatever nasty crap was stuck up in your sinuses.

TL;DR: Didn't notice a hose kink in a nasal irrigation machine, power washed the sinuses so hard water came out of my ears.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by jackin' it in the shower

Out of town at a hotel for a conference, high speed Internet and mobile phone in hand, step into the dry shower at the end of a long day at work downstairs. Using the provided lube (conditioner), my work was done in short order. I then turned on the shower to warm up and went back into the main room to put down my phone. Here's the fuck up- we all know, or should, that the best way to clean a protein-rich, goopy substance, does not involve hot water. In fact, hot water just leaves the slippery proteins while washing away the water soluble parts. Forgetting this, I boldly stride into the glass-walled shower only to nearly break my damn legs and neck as I slid in from one side to the other on what felt like warm ice, barely catching myself on the shower grip handles. Now my foot hurts. TL;DR: masturbated in shower and slipped on my own hot load, nearly hurting myself very badly.

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
