TIFU by not knowing how to dance

I (M25) recently got a new job in Colombia with the IT firm I work for. It came with a promotion I worked really hard for, so I was excited to make the jump.

For context, I’m a white dude from the Midwest who speaks minimal Spanish.

Luckily I have one college friend who is Colombian and he’s been showing me around. I’ve only been here about a month, and there’s definitely been a lot of culture shock… especially with the nightlife. Back home I was never really someone who went out much, but I figured while I’m here I should push myself and experience it.

This past weekend I went out with my college friend and some of his friends. First thing I noticed: when he said “friends,” there were about 15 people. I was expecting maybe one or two.

But the real surprise was the nightclub.

I had never seen people dance like that before. Everyone was grinding on everyone. I was basically just standing there staring at the dance floor in awe, trying to process what I was seeing.

While I was watching, one of my friend’s friends (a very attractive Colombian girl) came up and asked if I wanted to dance. She turned around and said something in Spanish to her friends, grabbed my hand, and dragged me onto the dance floor.

We started dancing, and then she turned around and started grinding on me to the beat of the music.

After about 45 seconds, my brain basically short-circuited. I panicked, mumbled something like “Uh...one second” and speed-walked straight off the dance floor to the bathroom like my life depended on it.I felt like I was going to cream my shorts.

I stayed in there for about five minutes trying to regain my composure while my friend texted me:

“Bro you ok?”

I told him I might have eaten something and I left the club. Reddit, how bad of a fuck up is this? any idea what she might have said to her friends as she took me to the dance floor?

Edit: I do have everyone's socials from that night. Is it worth me messaging her and explaining myself? Maybe clarify i just ate something off hence me going to the bathroom?

TL;DR - Was dancing with a girl at a club in Colombia when I almost had an accident in my pants and had to leave the club

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 by accidentally adding the police to a private WhatsApp group for private poker nights / sports betting events.

So Poker is highly regulated here in Belgium, so is being a bookie. Yet for the past I don't know how many years I (first with some friends, now alone) have been organizing some private poker nights and have ran a private sports betting competition. This sounds like a big deal, but in reality it isn't. None of the proceeds go to me, nor is there a rake during the poker nights. Problem is: these poker nights happen in 2 pubs after hours when they are closed, both pub owners are really good mates of me. So technically the pubs might be violating the law even though people bring their own booze (some will bring a bottle of Wodka, some a crate of beer, etc ...), pub owners don't actually sell anything during those nights (technically, in practice they sometimes just serve at their cost). The buy-in is also limited to €25 euro (no rebuy), so they are basically soft home games, just taking place in a pub behind closed doors. And everyone knows each other. Most of these people...

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...
