TIFU by offering my physiotherapist a handshake and instantly regretting it

I've been dealing with shoulder and arm pain, so I went to a clinic for physiotherapy. My previous therapist was a sweet woman, she had left and this was my first session with a senior male doctor. During the session, he massaged my neck and asked where it hurts. After few seconds, I mentioned that the pain went all the way down to my fingers, and he snapped, "Yeah, I can't do it down there, can I? The neck is the root. That's why we studied for doctor" It felt sarcastic and unnecessarily defensive, and I got a little irritated. I tried asking a few simple questions, but he gave short, curt answers. When the session ended, I thought I'd keep things polite and maybe break the ice. I stood up, smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you, doctor," holding my hand out for a handshake. And then... nothing. His eyes flicked to my hand, he gave a tiny nod, but didn't move his hand at all. I froze for a second, my heart racing, feeling my face heat up like f...

TIFU by accidentally texting my boss my resignation… meant for my boyfriend

So this literally happened yesterday, and I still feel like I might throw up. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 3 years, and lately we’ve been having dumb little arguments. Yesterday morning, we had a fight before I left for work. I texted him during my lunch break saying, “I’m done. I can’t keep doing this. I’m exhausted and I deserve better.” Except… I sent it to my boss. My actual, real, corporate boss. Within two minutes, she replied: “I understand. Please send your formal resignation to HR so we can begin the offboarding process.” My soul left my body. I immediately called her, panicking, explaining it was meant for my boyfriend, not her. There was a full five seconds of silence before she just said: “Oh. Well. That’s… awkward.” She laughed, but the HR lady did not. They still made me fill out a “retraction form” to document that I’m not resigning, since technically I submitted it in writing. My coworkers now think I rage-quit for 15 minutes and came crawling back. My bo...

TIFU By Not Realising My Ex's Parent's Have Camera's Everywhere

This happened a few years ago, but it still haunts me to this day. Me (M18), Ex (F18) had recently broken up after around three years of dating. We remained really close friends for a few years afterwards, so we would still regularly hang out. One day, her parents we're away on a cruise so she invited our two friends and I over for drinks(Europeans) in the back garden. The yard had some swinging chairs, a small stagnant water fountain with a basketball hoop about 3 feet overhead, and a shed off to the end of the green. The yard was pretty open, veiwing wise. We we're very open about our sexual relationship and got talking about certain details pertaining to distance. One of our friends went to the bathroom when I also really had to go, so drunkingly, I said, "Do you guys think i could pee up and over the basketball hoop into the fountain?". This was the start of fuck up. I got up and attempted to pee through the hoop, only to not even make it even close and just end...

TIFU by letting my nails grow too long and accidentally snapping one

So, I have pretty strong natural nails that I enjoy growing out to do nail art on. Coupled with being lazy, and I’ve let them grow out longer than I knew I should. I don’t know if other people notice this, but when they start getting too long you can feel the weak point in them and they start getting sore. However, I had an event this weekend and had JUST painted them in a way that had taken me ages but I was super happy with. I knew I probably should have cut them down a bit when I painted them, but I love the look of them long and figured it would be fine. Well, it was fine, thru my event anyway. Later that day, sitting in my parked car, I go to put my hair up. In the process, and with all the careless force of someone who hasn’t broken a nail in ages, I smashed my nail into the headrest behind me. I could feel it bend and debatably one of the worst, sharpest pains id ever experienced followed. I screamed and tried not to freak out as the sting from a nail being broken that low tak...

TIFU by driving 6 hours to another state to stay with a stranger from Hinge in a college dorm and getting kicked out in the middle of the night by his ROTC bitch roommate.

I (18F) am in a weird place mentally due to being in community college while living at home and having zero social life now because all my friends are at university. I don’t even know why, but I changed my hinge location to Albuquerque New Mexico, though I live in Denver. I have never even visited New Mexico and had no plans to. But I matched with this guy and he told me the hot air balloon festival thing was happening this weekend and I had free time this weekend and he told me I should drive down, so I made the poor decision to do that. My mom and my best friend both told me this was a bad idea but I still packed my bags and left for Albuquerque at 5am. I made it there around noon and hung out with that guy in his dorm for a while and had sex with him until things started going wrong. His roomate wasn’t supposed to be home for another 2 days, but he came home and he’s some weird strict ROTC guy who was NOT chill with me being there. Me and the hinge guy tried explaining that I drove...

TIFU by sealing wasps in their nest, instead of killing them.

Obligatory not today, this happened last week. But the after effects are still very much ongoing. We've had a wasp nest in the side of my house for a while now. Last week they stung one of my friends, so it was time to get rid of them. Given the amount of wasps in and out, it seemed like a big nest. To guestimate the size, I would say a wasp entered or left the nest once a second, all day. I didn't want to just squirt poison down the hole - that would just piss them off and not reach most of it. So I decide to seal the nest with expanding foam sealant. I snuck out in the dead of night, and stuck enough foam in that hole to seal half a construction site. Little did I know how terrible of an idea this was. APPARENTLY, there was another exit to the nest - going inside the house. This nest is ENORMOUS. Average size for a nest this late in the season is 2000-4000 wasps. Half our house is currently inaccessible. I sneak down to the basement at night to change the traps. I keep ...

TIFU by shipping my new cars only set of keys to Iowa

Obligatory this happened a couple days ago but regardless, i FUCKEEEED up I (20 NB) just got a 01 S60 2.4T on September 26. Only had one set of keys and i kept putting off getting duplicates made. It has a ton of problems but i got it for $500 and it's the first car I've had since May so I'm not really used to keeping track of car keys anymore. A few days ago, before work, i went downtown to see my gf (20F). I took a wrong turn when trying to get into the parking lot to drop her back off and discovered that there was not a connection between the parking lot id driven into and the parking lot that that i needed to get to. there was a decent amount of grass and a curb. Now, i am not the smartest driver all the time and my thought process is "it's just a wittle curb, only little bitches are worried about driving over a curb, wahoo! lets go" and ran right over the curb. It scraped my undercarriage but i did not think much of it. When i got home, i looked under m...
