Update: hey reddit, can i ask for a favor? Can we stick to the comments and not upvote the post too much? I want to hear what you have to say but i also live near a college campus so just want to make sure no one i dont want to sees this haha i (m 46) have been having some back issues and my doctor advised that i do some yoga to help with it. I was always reluctant to pay attention to it but i finally decided to make a change. Went online and found a yoga class near me, signed up and i went. Once i arrived i was the only guy there, amongst a group of really attractive girls, all probably in their late 20s. I went up to the instructor and double checked to see if this was the right class and she confirmed that i was. Moved back to my spot and was checking some messages on my phone as class was about to begin - when all of a sudden the flash on my phone went off! Now i have this feature where when i get a message the flash on my camera goes off - and i forgot to turn it off The gi...

Both my husband and I work from home. I had just finished a marathon session of meetings and went to get a glass of water. While walking down the hallway, I let a big fart I had been holding for hours, one of those loud, "this sounds like a movie sound effect" poots. When I walked past my husband's door, he shot me a daggers. He came downstairs later, genuinely upset. "I was in a meeting when you farted." I said, "Oh, okay. I didn't mean to distract you." He replied, "No, you don't get it. I wasn't muted; your fart was so loud my avatar glowed because my mic picked it up. Everyone in the meeting went silent, thinking I had just let a giant fart on camera." So yeah, I feel really bad, not only because I accidentally framed my husband with a fart, but also because I could not stop laughing long enough to apologize (I eventually did when I could catch my breath.". TL;DR - I farted so loudly my husband's mic picked it up ...

This happened when I was in college. I think about it often to this day. My senior year I lived off campus in a four-story building that had a central staircase that wrapped around in a large spiral with about a six-foot gap in the center. On the roof above the center of the staircase was a domed skylight. The roof of the building was supposed to be off-limits and was not set up for social gatherings (no railings on the edges, for one thing). But seeing as how the complex consisted of nothing but college kids, we went up there often to drink and hang out during warmer months. Plus, my apartment being on the fourth floor, it was a quick climb up the wooden fire escape stairs to get there (yes, we would have all been dead quickly if that place caught on fire). One fateful summer eve as many of us imbibed an unhealthy amount of booze, some kind soul suggested someone walk across the skylight dome. I enthusiastically volunteered, because my top hobby is enthusiastically volunteering fo...

My (29m) girlfriend (24f) and I have been dating for almost 6 months. This past weekend we had just attended her cousin’s wedding that she invited me to a few months prior. We got a hotel room and started having a little sexy time. In the moment I was thinking about how hot it was all the times she pushed me onto the bed and I figured I’d do it to her this time. Unfortunately, the bed was much farther away than I thought and when I pushed her she fell right onto the floor and hit her head on the side of the bed. The impact made a loud thunk noise and for a few milliseconds I thought I had ended her. My head rushed with scenarios of the news finding her body and proclaiming a dead escort had been found at a hotel (she had on a really sexy nightgown). After she said ow, I apologized and quickly (and gently) placed her on the bed and examined her head. She asked for some Advil and Ice. I gave her the Advil and ran to the ice machine down the hall. I forgot to get a cup so I poured it i...

I usually work in an office with my laptop docked, and a headset for the VOIP phone system. Sometimes I take my laptop home and work from there, and use the PC speakers instead because it's just me and wearing a headset hurts my ears. Skype for business sometimes has trouble keeping up with hardware changes, so the first time I get a call, it goes looking for a headset and can't find it. Usually this means that I can't hear the caller, and that they can't hear me. You can probably see where this is going. I get a call yesterday, while working from home, and I don't recognise the number. I try to answer, but I can't hear anything because Skype for business is looking for my headset. I grumble to myself/my computer, try to change the settings, can't find the thing in time, the caller hangs up. Ok, think nothing of it, they'll call back. Carry on working, forget about it. That evening, I see an email from the nurse manager at the rest home where my Aunt ...

This was actually over a decade ago, and it still bothers me today. In 2009 I was in my mid-twenties and I had done some skeet shooting, but that's about it. Everybody was worried that the AR-15 wasn't going to be available for sale much longer with a new president so I bought into the scarcity panic and bought one myself, figuring if it does get banned I'd at least have something sought after. Fast forward a year and some change and my brother is visiting from the army. We're at my childhood best friend's place drinking some beer and sitting around shooting the shit when we all decide to show off what we have with us. Over the night we're passing around our firearms and checking out each others' selection and eventually the AR-15 makes it way back to me and is on my lap. Now this is where I fucked up: Handling firearms while drinking. Not paying attention to what others were doing with them. Not checking it when it got back to me. Not keeping it po...

Little backstory, I am M(21), and my best friend is F(20). I've kinda known her since high school; we were in the same class a couple of years, but I didn't really notice her until the last year of high school when we were watching some movies and shows in class instead of listening. Fast forward 3 years ago, and COVID strikes—no school for 3 weeks, nothing to do. I started doing streaks with her on Snapchat for some reason in high school and never stopped since then. One day, I noticed she sent me a picture of a park near my house. I texted her if we could meet there, and she said yes. We went on doing many activities with friends there, and sooner than later, I had a crush on her. Things seemed steady at first, going smoothly. One day, she was drunk texting me at a party, and she said to me, "if I weren't stuck up I would totally be down." Of course, I was extremely happy to hear this, but everything seemed to change, and she got more distant. I had to leave t...
