TIFU by not taking photos with my husband at my graduation

Hello, I recently graduated with my PhD. My parents and husband attended. The soonest they could arrive was 3pm or so, for a 5.30pm ceremony (you need to queue at 4.45pm). I took photos with all three of them as a group, as well as solo photos. As and when I bumped into friends we took a few photos and said goodbye. I paid for professional solo and family photos, the queue for this was about 45 minutes. Amidst the rushing around, I started my period suddenly, and in the UK we are experiencing a heatwave, paired with the extra layers of the gown and the blisters forming from my heels I was a bit of a diva and we argued a lot that day. I argued with my husband quite a bit too, it was a rough day. Everything was rushed, we didn’t have time for photos after the ceremony as my in laws were waiting for us for dinner and the graduates photo took up some time too.

Here’s where I messed up: I didn’t direct towards or make sure I got pictures of me and my husband together, just us two. I didn’t even realise it. We have selfies together but not actual ones of us posing. He brought it up the next day, and he said “did you even notice we didn’t have photos together?” And when it hit me I just started sobbing, i asked him when we walked off away from my parents and he said no once but after that it didn’t occur to me in the rush. He then said “I was waiting for you to ask to get one with me but you never did”. I know it’s my fault for not asking but I was just in hysterics and sobbing, if he noticed then why didn’t he direct us to go take it? When I said that he said that i was making him feel bad for my mistake. I want to smash my head into wall, I’m so upset at myself, I’m so upset no one (including me) said “okay now one with just you two”.

I feel sick to my stomach, I keep crying, we’ve argued because I’ve cried over it so much (he said I wasn’t thinking of his feelings, and that crying like this was upsetting him more).

I’ve taken a group photo, and paid someone on fiver to remove my parents from it.

I feel sick and can’t stop crying, I’m upset at myself for not noticing, even more upset that I can’t go back and take the photo, and also upset that he didn’t say anything on the day whilst he was conscious of it. I really hate myself right now. Sorry for the rambling, really emotional - also just got my period on graduation day (yesterday).

TL;DR: I didn’t get solo photos with my husband, didn’t even realise until he said something the next day. I’m a horrible wife and I can’t stop crying over my mistake.

Edit: the time I asked was just at the start, before we queued for the professional photos, there was another angle I wanted if a building and I didn’t want to make my mum walk it in her heels, I asked if we should take one from this view as well and he said no (it was this instance where we got the selfies). After that we were queuing, and it was such a long queue I asked for anything to snack on because I was there working until 2pm and didn’t have lunch, they met me on campus at around 3. After the professional photos it was time for the guests to queue for the ceremony hall, and I was running to the loo and looking for a pad

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...

TIFU by paying attention in class

Today in psychology my professor was talking about discrimination and the way people can judge others based on initial impressions. I happened to be looking my professor in the eyes when he was speaking to us, which is what I do with everyone talking to me. For some reason he didn’t like this, he stared back at me and continued speaking until eventually he interrupted his lecture to call me out. He said, “you there in the hoodie! do you think anybody knows who you are?” in a slightly aggressive tone. I was completely caught off guard by this, and I felt a lot of anxiety and sudden tension in me rise. I eventually said “no” and he said “I could discriminate against you based on your hoodie.” I didn’t think anything was wrong initially because he could have just been trying to make an example out of me to add to the lecture, except he had never done this with any other student before which is what made me also think it could have been targeted. Everything was fine until I did it agai...
