TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by assuming which way an elevator was going

Happened today and I'm doing that thing where I keep playing it over in my head and cringing because of how awkward I feel.

My (41m) family traveled for my niece's HS graduation. My family went down to the hotel pool. I was lagging behind in the room (bathroom break) and came down a few minutes later.

I pressed the button to call the elevator to go down to the first floor and this is my FU. Earlier in the day I had pressed the button for the elevator and an elderly couple tried to exit, thinking they had reached the lobby. I saw their confusion and told them it was only the second floor. They thanked me and we rode down one floor together to the lobby.

This time, the elevator doors opened and a guy closer to my age started to step out. For some damn reason I thought to myself "OP, save this man from making the mistake of thinking this is the lobby. Be a good Samaritan". Mind you, this hotel's elevators don't have any indicator showing where they are coming from, so there was absolutely no reason for me to think I knew where he was coming from or where he was headed.

Regardless, out of my mouth came the words "hey man this is the second floor, not the lobby."

The man continued walking off the elevator, looked at me in a mix of bewilderment and possibly a little judgement and without slowing down replied "oh good I pressed the right button" and walked to his room laughing.

I can't get the combination of his look and laughter out of my head. If by some cruel twist we end up having to share the elevator at some point this weekend, maybe I will feign confusion at how numbers work, asking for his expertise on the subject. That'll definitely salvage the impression this stranger has of me.

TL;DR: Thought a stranger was getting off the elevator on the wrong floor, tried to correct him, came across like a crazy person.

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...
