TIFU by calling my grandpa

Post a Comment

TIFU by telling my boss I crop dusted the aisles.

So for starters this didn’t happen today. This occurred while I was getting my undergrad at my local university a few years ago. I was reminded of this today and I still cringe when I think about my actions this day.

I was 20 years old and working at Lowe’s at the time as a sales associate. Specifically in the paint department. One of my jobs there at the time was put away any freight that came in.

One night the managers were talking and I heard somebody say “yo so and so crop dusted that aisle. I can tell…” well in my head… I thought that meant they knocked down everything in the aisles with an object.

So one night my shift was nearing the end and I had to take some freight back to receiving where I didn’t get everything finished. And as a female working at Lowe’s, sometimes working with pallet jacks are hard. And this specific pallet jack was not working properly, so it was twisted and turning in every direction and I was bumping into aisles.

So when I come back from receiving after finally getting the stuff to the back, my manager asked “what happened OP?”

Well, with my whole chest, I said “I was crop dusting all the aisles.”

My boss’ face turned like he was about to start laughing and he said “OP…. What do you mean you were cropdusting the aisles?” Then i explained the above!

He burst out laughing and said “OP…. You realize when you said you were ‘cropdusting’ you were telling me you were farting up and down the aisles”.

I wanted to pass away right there.

Up until I obtained my degree and left, the boss constantly called me “cropdusting queen”…. FML.

TL;DR. I unknowingly told my boss that I was busting ass all over the store.

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...
