TIFU/I messed with the algorithm and I'm losing

Hi, I'm an Italian guy and this information only serves to justify my poor English. For some time now, video compilations of images have begun to appear on yt that should scare anyone with a certain phobia. Pictures aren't usually terribly scary, so I decided to find out more about these videos by watching them for myself. There is a problem I underestimated everything, I threw the phone against the wall with the video on and to resume it without looking at it again I threw a shoe on the phone. The biggest problem is that now the yt and instagram algorithm have turned against me, now they know my fears and can exploit them to their advantage by placing random images on the home page, I'm afraid to open a social network. TL;DR I searched for phobia image compilations, I underestimated everything and now I'm full of these videos on the home page.

TIFU by Sending Sexy Pictures to My Teacher Instead of Homework

It was a typical evening, and I had just finished taking some, um, revealing pictures for my significant other. You know, the kind that were only meant for his eyes. In a classic case of "I should have known better," I decided to email the pictures to myself, planning to delete them from my phone later. This way, I thought, I could discreetly transfer them to my personal laptop. Well, in the midst of my multitasking, something went horribly wrong. As I hurriedly typed away, I unknowingly entered my teacher's email address instead of my own. Yes, you read that right—I sent my spicy snapshots to my teacher's inbox. Cue the cringe. The following day, I eagerly checked my email for the assignment feedback I had been expecting. To my shock and horror, there it was—a reply from my teacher, subject line: "Interesting Homework Submission." My stomach churned with a blend of dread and disbelief. With trembling hands, I opened the email, bracing myself for the con...

TIFU - I was the victim of an AI scam and reported it, then became victimized by my bank because it.

TIFU - It all started last Monday, I saw multiple friends posting about an investment scheme on Facebook. I'm naturally very skeptical of these things as there's so much fraud and crypto scams going round, I didn't give it much thought. I'd then seen these friends post a video about how it worked and could clearly see it was them in the video. Doing a bit of due diligence I decided to call one of these friends (who I went to university with), catch up and ask about the investment program. I was confident it was them as we were reminiscing about some old times with the trampolining team, moving onto the investment, they advised they'd deposited £500 with the investment and in 5 months got their money back and more, with more rolling in each month. Now feeling more confident I spoke to the chap doing the investments on Facebook. After asking around how the investment system worked, and being fed a load of AI / algorythm, jargon. I thought to myself, best case scenar...

TIFU by knocking over a 16 month old little girl at work.

I cut hair at a barbershop. Today one of my coworkers was running behind and wasn’t able to do all the services her client wanted done, I had a cancellation so I took him over to my chair to do his beard trim. He came in with his 16 month old daughter and she is as cute as a button, I’m going to refer to her as little one. She didn’t want to sit in her stroller or on dad’s lap so he just let her walk around and I told him I’d help him keep an eye on her cus he wouldn’t be able to cus of the service he was getting. Dad and I were talking and I realized that I didn’t see little one in my peripheral, I looked down and on either side of myself still didn’t see her. This is we’re I f-ed up…I took a step back to turn around and as I moved my leg back then all of a sudden boom I hit her with my leg and she goes down. At this point I’m trying to also not fall cus if I did I would’ve fallen on top of her, luckily I have long legs and was able to stay on my feet. When little one fell she was s...

TIFU by not looking properly at the door to the public bathroom

Well, it was really a few days ago, but still, I got told that the story was worth adding here. (Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language and autocorrect is my best friend) I (F27) was out shopping with my dad. All of a sudden I start feeling sick and I need a bathroom QUICK. So I run towards the bathrooms, just following the "toilet" signs. I rush in to the first bathroom I see and I make it just in time before I start throwing up. I'm squatted down on the floor and just begging for this to pass quickly. (Thankfully it was fully closed cubicles, no gaps) I hear people come and go in to the bathroom, but I hear no voices and hope that they can't hear me either. I finally feel better, wipe my mouth, spit and flush one last time before I get out. As I open the door from the cubicle I stare straight at the back of two men standing at the urinals and I fix my eyes hard on the floor and run for the door. I've NEVER felt that embarrassed in my whole...

TIFU When I realized I've been wiping the wrong way my whole life.

So I'm a trans guy, no surgeries or anything, so I have a vulva. I've grown up with it my whole life, just now it's hairier. The thing is, my whole life from when I was younger I was taught to wipe *forwards* by reaching between my legs instead of reaching behind. APPARENTLY this is the very wrong way to do it and could have given me several infections if I was less lucky. For the story: I was on youtube listening to reddit stories and minding my business when the story about this guy and his kid comes up. I'm listening in and curious because it's r/AITA so of course it'll be interesting. Turns out the man was upset with his MIL for wiping his daughter incorrectly when she had diarrhea. The MIL wiped back to front and he was upset at her lack of care over the issue. He insisted she could've given his daughter an infection by getting goop poop on her vagina. And then it clicked, "Wait a second, I wipe like that. I COULD'VE GIVEN MYSELF AN INFECT...

TIFU by peeing on my baby

My 12 month old son and I were playing this morning while my wife slept. I had to pee, so I headed to the bathroom with my son crawling closely behind. He hates when we shut doors on him to prevent him from following us into rooms and will throw a huge tantrum when we do so. Not wanting to elicit a tantrum that would surely wake my wife, I decided to leave the door open and let my son explore the bathroom while I peed. This was my first pee of the day, so it was going to be a long one. As I was peeing my son stood up and peered into the bathtub then tugged on the shower curtain. Then he went to grab the garbage can to the right of the toilet, but I successfully blocked him with my right leg. Frustrated with my defense he deked around behind me and went to grab the toilet paper roll to the left of the toilet. Knowing this would result in a big mess I went to block him with my left leg, but my son had other plans. He juked back right and went between my legs, grabbed the toilet bowl ri...
