TIFU by not having enough Halloween spirit

TIFU by removing all the tape marks from a theater stage before rehearsal

A friend of mine helps run a small community theater and asked if I could come by and help clean up before their dress rehearsal. Figured I'd be useful for once.

I was sweeping the stage when I noticed dozens of little pieces of colored tape stuck to the floor. Some were barely an inch long, others had arrows drawn on them. Looked like leftover junk from rehearsals so I started peeling them off.

Took me a good 20 minutes. I was actually pretty proud of how clean the floor looked.

Then the stage manager walked in and asked where all the spike marks went.

Turns out those tiny pieces of tape told the actors where to stand, where furniture needed to go and which spots were lined up with the lighting. They'd spent several rehearsals getting everything exactly right.

I had removed every single one.

They had to delay the rehearsal while everyone tried to reconstruct the positions from old photos and recordings. I stayed for nearly five hours helping measure stuff and put new tape down.

My friend was surprisingly nice about it but I could tell he wanted to kill me. I also missed a dinner reservation I'd made that evening.

Apparently the one thing you should never clean at a theater is the fucking floor markings.

TL;DR: Volunteered to clean a theater stage, removed all the positioning tape thinking it was trash and delayed an entire dress rehearsal. Spent five hours helping fix it.

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...
