TIFU By getting kicked out over weed

So today I (20F) managed to turn an argument about weed into getting kicked out of the house I've lived in for the past two years. Fantastic.
For some background, my boyfriend "Jay" (20M) and I have been together for four years. We currently live with his parents and sisters because, well, have you seen the fucking economy? I've lived with his family for about two years, and they've always been incredibly generous about letting me stay there rent-free. I've offered to pay rent, cook, clean, or contribute in other ways, but they've always declined.

Because of that, I've tried to make myself as little of a burden as possible. I buy my own groceries and toiletries, mostly stay in our bedroom, and even shower at my mom's house. Not because his family makes me feel unwelcome, but because I feel guilty living in someone else's home without contributing financially.
Now, onto the world's stupidest argument.
For most of our relationship, Jay and I have bought our own weed. About six months ago, I started having some financial difficulties and cut back significantly on how much I was buying. As a result, Jay started smoking with his parents more frequently, and they began inviting me to join them.

Recently, his parents mentioned that if we were going to continue smoking with them, we'd need to start contributing more. Completely reasonable. Weed isn't free.

Jay and I talked about it, and I explained that I was financially stable enough to start buying my own again. Since I don't smoke very much, I figured I'd just buy half an ounce a month and stop smoking his parents' supply. Jay was upset because he wanted us to keep smoking with his parents. I told him he was more than welcome to contribute to what I bought and smoke it however he wanted, including with them. I just didn't want to commit to buying more than I personally needed.

We argued about this several times before he eventually told me his parents weren't comfortable with me smoking my own weed around them if I wasn't sharing, I said fair enough, so I stopped smoking around them. Over the past few days, I had actually loaded several bowls for his parents and left some weed for Jay as well. I wasn't opposed to sharing occasionally. I just didn't want it to become an expectation I couldn't financially maintain. Now that brings me to today.

Jay told me he was going outside to smoke and asked if I wanted to join him, I said sure. We sat outside for about an hour. Nobody smoked anything. Eventually, he got up and went inside, visibly upset. I followed him in and asked if he was okay. He brushed it off, but about ten minutes later, he got frustrated and told me, "You still just don't understand. Apparently, he had been sitting outside for an hour waiting for me to load a bowl for everyone. An expectation that had never actually been communicated to me.

He explained that his parents weren't going to smoke with me anymore unless I started loading bowls for them sometimes. I pointed out that he'd only asked me if I wanted to come outside. He never asked me to bring weed, load a bowl, or share anything. I also reminded him that I'd already shared several bowls with his parents over the past few days and was running low.
Things escalated when Jay insisted that he'd paid for the weed too, and I was acting like he hadn't.
Except he hadn't.

I told him to check his bank transfers. The last time he'd sent me money for weed was about a month ago, when I'd bought a half ounce. He insisted he'd sent me $60 this week,* *So I pulled up the transfers, and there was no $60.
At that point, the argument stopped being about weed and became a greatest-hits compilation of every unresolved issue in our four-year relationship. We went back and forth for roughly an hour before his parents knocked on our bedroom door and asked us to stop arguing.
Jay immediately turned to me and said, "See? You just won't stop." At that point, I decided that arguing wasn't accomplishing anything, so I stopped engaging and went to lie down with my cat. For about ten glorious minutes, there was peace.

Jay got upset again, We started arguing again, and about five to ten minutes later, his dad knocked on the door for a second time. Except this time, he wasn't asking us to be quiet. He told me I needed to pack my things.

And just like that, after two years of living there, four years of dating Jay, and one unbelievably stupid argument about who was supposed to load a fucking bowl, I was being told to leave. I understand and agree that his parents shouldn't have to listen to us argue in their home. I feel horribly guilty that they heard us because I was trying so hard to keep it down. I also understand that they have every right to decide who lives under their roof, especially when they haven't charged me rent.

But holy shit. I did not wake up this morning expecting a disagreement over weed to end with me packing my belongings.

TL;DR: My boyfriend and I argued because he expected me to share my weed with his parents without actually telling me. He then insisted he'd paid for the weed, which our bank transfers proved wasn't true. The argument spiraled into a fight about our entire relationship, and his dad eventually told me to pack my things and leave the house I've lived in for two years. All because nobody could communicate about a fucking bowl.

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...
