TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by not paying attention while walking to work

So I start my daily 1.25 mile walk to work. It's been raining lately, but it was relatively dry. I'm looking down at my phone, trying to choose some Warhammer lore to listen to on my journey when I get to the point where I pass by the grate of a storm drain in front of a warehouse.

One spot.

One spot on my path was not at all dry.

Now I'm finding my foot sliding in a direction it is absolutely NOT, as a fat man, supposed to be going.

I hit the ground hard, right on to the grate. I start to get up and it hits.

My fucking KNEE. I can't put weight on it, so I fall back down into the mud and try the other side.

When I manage to stand, my fucking BACK hurts so much I can't stand straight.

I limp around for a minute trying to assess the damage and if I could still get to work, but nah, ain't no way in hell I was going to be able to get there in my state much less work the entire day.

Thankfully my boss is a good dude. I never miss work, I'm always early and I always cover or pick up an extra shift when he asks. He heard how much pain I was in when I called him and offered to give me a ride home even though I was around the corner from my house.

After a few minutes of limping home, I approach my property. It's at this time I notice an SUV slowly trailing close behind me.

He follows me on to my property, past the driveway all the way TO my house, stops me and proceeds to interrogate me about what I was doing by his warehouse.

Like dog, I get it. I got a little close to your place. I was in a fuckton of pain with the fear of missing work causing massive anxiety, so I wasn't really aware of my exact location.

But do you really think the fat guy in his work uniform, covered in mud, hobbling on 1 leg, bleeding from my left hand while the right is in the crook of my back, bent over like quasi-fucking-modo is trying to break into your place?

Now I'm sure how much work I'm going to miss while I have $8 in my bank account.

Ah well, could be worse.

TL;DR: I wasn't paying attention, slipped in mud, fell onto a storm drain grate and now I'm too hurt to work for a few days.

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...
