TIFU by removing my earring too early

TIFU by removing my earring too early

So. I got my ears pierced in July. Early July. And last week I changed my earrings for the first time. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t difficult either. It had been long enough, and I thought it was normal.

Today, I wanted to change my earrings because I wanted to go back to my smaller, original ones. My new ones were bigger, and made it harder for me to sleep comfortably. They were also kinda itchy, so I thought maybe i could make it better by switching the earrings back. After all, my other ones weren’t itchy when I changed them

So I started with my left ear. The earring came out really easily… too easily. It then started bleeding. Not like, I need to go to the hospital bleeding, but enough to know that I screwed up big time.

I tried to go through with changing the earring back anyway, after I had stopped the bleeding. I could not for the life of me get the earring in. I kept repeatedly angling it wrong and poking the inside of the hole. And then it started bleeding again.

So I stopped and used a tissue to stop the bleeding again. Rinse and repeat about three times. My ear is hurting this entire time, and I’m mad at myself.

After try number 4, I decide to at least try to get the bigger new earring back in. That failed too.

So now I’m sitting here in pain with a scabbed, slightly throbbing ear beating myself up for my stupidity. And one earring in.

Doesn’t help that the piercing was a gift, so now I feel like I’ve just thrown away that gift.

I still have one earring in and it feels so weird. I’m just hoping I don’t have to go to the hospital or anything because I have plans on Saturday that I’ve been working on for months, and I would literally just be so, SO upset if I had to cancel the plans and waste even more money just because I was stupid and impulsive.

TL;DR: I tried to swap my earrings before my ears decided they were ready, and now I’m suffering for 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...
