TIFU by rear-ending a stranger and then telling him to his face it wasn't me

Ich habe mich noch nie in meinem Leben mehr für einen einzigen Satz geschämt

Also, ich fahre durch die Stadt und suche einen Parkplatz.

Das Auto vor mir entdeckt gleichzeitig mit mir eine Lücke auf der rechten Seite, und wir lenken beide gleichzeitig ein.

Nur, dass er gebremst hat. Und ich... sagen wir mal, ich habe mich hauptsächlich gebremst.

Sanfter Stoß. Kaum eine Berührung. Aber definitiv eine Berührung.

Der Typ steigt aus, geht herum, inspiziert beide Autos sehr sorgfältig, dreht sich dann um und geht direkt auf mein Fenster zu. Mein Gehirn schreit. Ich kurbel das Fenster runter, und bevor er den Mund aufmachen kann, höre ich mich selbst sagen, mit voller Überzeugung:

"Ich war's nicht!"

Er schaut mich an. Er schaut auf die beiden Autos, die sich immer noch berühren. Er schaut wieder auf mich. Dann, völlig emotionslos:

"Ach. Wer war's denn dann?"

Und ich hatte nichts. Keine Fortsetzung, keine Erklärung, keine Würde. Also tat ich das Einzige, was meinem panischen Gehirn einfiel: Ich legte den Rückwärtsgang ein und fuhr weg.

Ich habe seitdem viel darüber nachgedacht.

Aus seiner Sicht fuhr ein Fremder hinter ihm her, fuhr ihm ins Auto, kurbelte das Fenster runter, um es ihm ins Gesicht abzustreiten, und fuhr dann einfach weg. Als ob der einzige Grund, warum ich überhaupt angehalten habe, war, ihn zu rammen.

Irgendwo da draußen gibt es einen Mann, der diese Geschichte auf Partys erzählt, und ich bin der Bösewicht darin.

TL;DR: I bumped a guy's car while parking (no damage), panicked and blurted "It wasn't me!", and when he asked who it was then, I fled in embarrassment. Now a stranger thinks I stopped behind him purely to rear-end him.

EDIT: Since some of you are coming at me in the comments: no, this is not a hit-and-run confession. Of course I checked that there was no damage before I left. The point of the story is just how it must have looked to him: that I pulled in behind him for the sole purpose of bumping into him, denying it, and leaving.

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 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...
