TIFU by assuming that lobsters are cheap and I was getting a steal

This happened about 3 years ago when me and my parents went to this fancy seafood restaurant in Thailand. Alright so we sit down and we’re browsing through the menu and I spot a lobster dish which only costs about $5.5 and I was like holy shit this is so worth it so I order it. The dish comes in and since it was so cheap I just ate it all without bothering to share with my parents. After I finished I was thinking damn I want more and its only $5. So I ordered another dish. I was thinking to myself, “why aren’t more people ordering this, its so cheap and delicious”. Well lord and behold, my dad receives the bill and he is horrified and visibly paler, he passed the bill to my mum and she gasps. The bill was around $130 and a $100 were those two lobsters while my dad and mum ate around $30 worth of food combined. I was like “WHAT, THAT’S NOT RIGHT“ because the lobsters are $5 each so we look at the menu and my dad is in pure disappointment and says “It’s $5 per 100 grams” and the lobste...

TIFU By reading wattpad smut at the age of 13

I (20F) was having sex for the first time with my boyfriend (20M). It was hurting but since we had an emotional conversation prior to it I was feeling ok pain wise. It was missionary position so I was literally laying down and doing nothing except the occasional back scratch or holding his face. Suddenly I remembered the smut I had read on wattpad 7 years ago, it was something like the male character encouraging the female to basically cum for him, in a possessive, assertive and dominating way. I thought it would be sexy to I kept repeating with force " his name CUM FOR ME". I believe until recently that it was sexy but today my boyfriend wouldnt stop telling me that he was scared for his life and he felt like if he didn't cum I'd eat him alive. And now I'm cringing so hard that I literally am so embarrassed of those three words that I kept repeating during our first time. He mimics me and he told me to open my eyes as wide as I can, in a scary way and he was ...

TIFU by breaking up with the girl I love

Didn’t happen today but a few months ago. So some background, earlier this year I reconnected with someone I used to know years ago. She and I got along great. She understood me in a way most other people didn’t. She soon became one of my closest friends. I would talk to her literally every day. After reconnecting with her I started to come out of my COVID-induced depression and things started to get better. She encouraged me to start working again. Things were getting brighter. I would be so scared to lose her. I would be scared of what would happen if she wasn’t here. She was my best friend. Then one day she told me that she liked me and I didn’t know what to say to her. I wasn’t sure if that was how I felt about her. I wasn’t sure if I could even be in a relationship. I told her that. I thought that was the day I would lose her. She was very hurt. Somehow our friendship survived and in the coming days, I started contemplating a relationship with her. I was still struggling with mys...

TIFU by getting scammed at a computer repair shop

So i left my pc at this repair shop for a few days cuz of a random issue with its motherboard. Today i went there and got it back without even getting it repaired, i got home, opened it up and i see he has replaced my i7 7700k CPU with a (probably broken) i7 7700 CPU. But thats not even the worst part, because i don't even have any documentation to prove there was a i7 7700k on the motherboard when i gave it to the repair shop. So here i am, just fuming at my own stupidity cuz i lost something around 450€, not to a thief but to a scammer who i know even if i confront, he'll just deny everything and i can't do jack shit. But hey at least i learned a lesson, always take note of exactly what you're leaving with a repair shop, so they cant do the same thing... Tl;dr : i got scammed becase i was too trusting of a random computer repair shop and got a expensive computer part stolen from me...

TIFU by using an electric trimmer on...myself

Not quite a today, but a few weeks ago, I fucked up by attempting to "trim the hedges" with an electric hair trimmer. It seemed innocuous at first. Doing some general bush-trimming [EDIT: with a guard in place on the trimmer] , trying to stay presentable, when I decided to expand the realm of where I wanted to tidy up. I'm sure at this point, you can see where this story is going. I think at this point, I should add some additional clarity. I possess male genitalia...because that part is about to become incredibly relevant. So, I turn the trimmer to start cleaning up my balls. I was incredibly attentive here for obvious reasons. The loose skin seemed to be begging for me to somehow nick myself. I didn't. Until I did. I now noticed some hair on my dick. Not a problem. I just trimmed my balls fine. It was a problem. I began trimming the underside, and my attention waned, or I wasn't able to see what exactly I was doing, I'm honestly not sure, because the ...

TIFU by falling for a French girl visiting my area

So almost a year ago I (26M) matched with this girl (24F) on a dating app. We got to talking and I learned she is from France and is living in the US for a year staying with a family in another state across the country but they visit my area every now and then. Sadly our schedules didn’t match up this time, but we exchanged social media and loosely stayed in touch (responding to each others stories, etc). At first, I didn’t think much of it, but over time she began to intrigued me. On top of being gorgeous, I could tell she was thoughtful, motivated, artistic, and incredibly well spoken – all things I found very attractive. Fast forward to a couple months ago, I get a message from her saying she is going to be in my area once again for 2 weeks and wants to meet me. We arranged to meet up at a nice outdoor bar. We ended up drinking wine and talking for 7 hours straight about life, our experiences, our goals, our passions. The chemistry was flowing through the air. My observations abou...

TIFU by maybe accidentally inviting my plumber over for Thanksgiving

My plumber is a really nice guy with a heart of 24k gold. I've actually started smiling when I clog the toilet because it means he's coming over with his Italian accent and his arcane sense of humor (last time as he walked in and saw my ceramic cactus sculpture, he remarked: "it-a look-a like you have green tube guy, my friend"). I honestly couldn't say what it is about him that excites me so much; I guess we all have people in our lives that we for some reason just enjoy being around. Yesterday, as he fixed my sink, we had one of our most intimate conversations ever. I told him about my family history of alcoholism, and he opened up about how his ex-wife was supposed to join him in the States a few years back but instead fell in love with another man. He lives alone here while all his family is still in Italy, and he just had a major falling out with three of his best friends. After he was done working, I opened a bottle of tequila and we kept taking shots and...
