TIFU by calling my grandpa

TIFU by not realizing why I was so hungry all the goddamn time

The last few weeks, I've been starving. I eat a healthy meal for dinner (spaghetti with homemade meatballs and lots of veggies, breakfast bake with eggs and sausage and cheese and veggies, etc) and I feel like I'm starving 3-4hrs later as I'm in bed. I cook almost every meal at home and don't really snack. If I do, it's fruit or something on the healthy side.

My job is physically demanding. I'm an online shopper at Walmart, but I walk at least 8 miles every shift, and I'm constantly moving, lifting, and pulling heavy items. I'm doing this full time in the summer and part time during my college semesters.

The other day, I worked a 1-10 shift and then a 10-7 the next day. I got home at 10 and had a healthy dinner. At 2am, I'm starving, and have a granola bar. I go back to bed.

I have 2 bagels with peanut butter and a smoothie (cherry & banana with milk and protein powder) for breakfast. By the time I took my lunch break at 2pm, I was starving, and ate everything in my lunchbox (leftover spaghetti, apple, banana, and 2 granola bars) and STILL had to go buy a sandwich before I wasn't hungry.

When i left at 7pm, I was hungry again, as if I hadn't eaten all day. Thankfully my boyfriend was cutting vegetables for dinner. We had the breakfast bake I mentioned above. I eat dinner, and am hungry a few hours later as if I'm a starving Victorian child.

Yesterday, on my day off, I put 2 and 2 together. If you walked 8 miles every day, you'd be hungry, too. Duh. I feel so dumb.

Today I had a large breakfast but was STILL hungry an hour before my lunch break. I packed a bigger lunch. STILL HUNGRY. Bought a sandwich. I hope I'm not hungry anymore.

I need more high-protein lunch ideas. Time to go scavenging the internet for recipes, I guess.

Tldr: I didn't think that my job was the reason I was hungry. I forget I walk 8-9 miles 5x a week. I'm burning more calories than I'm eating and, as a result, am starving. I'm now searching for extremely high protein lunch ideas.

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...
