TIFU by removing my earring too early

Post a Comment

TIFU By learning some Hindi and insulting a scam caller. Now I can’t use my phone.

I’ve been getting a metric shit ton of spam calls like many of you, but this week has been absolutely insane, and I think it’s my fault for kicking the hornets nest.

I am up to 70+ scam calls a day. I learned some Hindi swear words from a friend, and chose to curse one out a few days ago back when the call list was shorter. It was fun for me. Baiting scammers. I would get to the part where they question me about my Medicare (after the AI portion/transferring please wait) and just UNLEASH with MADARCHOD, BHENCHOD, etc. I don’t feel bad about it; they scammers. Boy was that a mistake…

Just a day after, I started getting a call. Then another. Then 2 more. All with my area code, with different preceding numbers, all spoofed with voip software. All asking about my Medicare part a & b (I’m in my 30s and work for a defense contractor lol). The worst part is that I can’t even use a call filter because the numbers are all individually spoofed, so the leg work for blocking all of them would be blocking 999 different combinations of would-be number neighbors. I’m only allowed 6 prefixed to block. Even if that was physically possible, I have quite a few contacts with my area code, so it would be in vain. I’m at my wits end, but I guess it goes to show to let scamming scammers lie.

I spent all day on the phone with Verizon and they cannot assist me without me changing my number.
I’ve gotten three while typing this. Not *fully* blaming myself, as it’s not me doing the scamming, but I definitely played a part…

Tl;dr: learned Hindi to curse out scammers for fun, now I’m getting 100 spoofed calls a day and the only course of action is to change my number.

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...
