TIFU by drinking apple juice

First time posting here so here goes. Over the past few months I've been trying to bulk up more. I don't have a huge appetite so I've been researching small ways to increase my calorie consumption in ways that I could tolerate it. Some of these small hacks included adding condiments and sides to meals, having dense snacks throughout the day, or replacing water with juices or smoothies. The last one produced this wonderful story. I'd gone grocery store shopping to pick up my protein powder, frozen fruits, and juice, yes, apple juice specifically. Anyway, one day work I came home feeling so thirsty. It was a hot day in the middle of summer which didnt help. Got dinner ready, and as I was taking a glass out of the cabinet, I thought to myself "you know what, this would be a good time to do what the internet recommended" Put my water pitcher back in the fridge and got out the apple juice. Ended up drinking 4, maybe 5 good-sized glasses of juice and felt pr...

TIFU by getting my apartment and car keys caught on a trash bag I was throwing in the dumpster

As the title says. I'm going out of town for the night, and was throwing a bag of cat litter away into my apartments dumpster before I left. It was heavy, and the dumpster lip is high. I was wearing my keys on a lanyard around my neck because I don't have pockets. The bag is too heavy for me to lift above my head, so I always get some momentum going by swinging and tossing it in. Well, today the bag somehow caught some of my keys, and I think the ring that was holding my car key, my apartment key, and mailbox key broke. I felt it catch my lanyard, but the momentum was already in full swing. It was too late to stop. As I finished the toss, I saw a few small objects go flying into the trash. Immediately checked my lanyard, and sure enough. My work keys are still there thankfully. We don't have a maintenance line to call at my building (only email or paperwork at the office) so I called the office building. It was closed because its Sunday, but I decided to connect to the ...

TIFU by recorded everything I heard for more of 7 years using a voice recorder

Hi Reddit For begin i am a french student with Autism Spectrum Disorder so i apologie if i dont speak english correctly. I wanted to talk about a controversial practice I engaged in: using a voice recorder to capture classes, discussions, and conversations, and what that experience was like for me. First of all, I am aware that this practice is illegal something I realized only later. It all started during my final year of middle school and the transition to high school. A naughty friend told me about the possibility of recording things, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn't until I entered my three last years year of high school after being held back a year due to academic struggles that I really dove into it. As an adolescent growing and hot-headead, I found pleasure in recording everything I heard to fill a void of loneliness. I was caught several times and told that it was strictly forbidden; these difficult incidents only reinforced my ad...

TIFU by biting the inside of my mouth while I was numbed

This actually happened on Thursday but I’m still dealing with the aftermath today. I had to go in for a root canal. Everything went great there. Afterward practically the entire left side of my face was numb. I have pretty bad unmedicated ADHD and one of the things I do to keep focus is bite or chew the inside of my cheek or lips. I was absentmindedly doing this for a couple hours while my face was numb. I knew it bled a couple times but I didn’t realize just how much I had bit off. I am part of the other 90+% of people that get canker sores so now I just have this massive canker sore right inside my mouth. It stings. I hope it goes away within the next couple days. Tl;dr: had some dental work done, face was numbed, bit big piece of the inside of my mouth now dealing with giant canker sore for the last 3 days. Anyways, I hope yall enjoyed reading about my mess up. Have a great Sunday!

TIFU, Thought I was typing in Chatgpt, was actually in Outlook, replied ALL

I've been at this company for a couple of months, and in that time I have been made project manager of two high profile clients' projects. My boss and boss's boss told me they agreed I was the best person of the group to handle this role, and I've been dedicated to giving it my all. So dedicated, in fact, that Outlook has become 8 of my 12 tabs on my phone. So this Saturday, when I wanted to verify "did the supreme court allow trump to use the save act?" And thought I was typing into my already open chatgpt thread, it actually ended up being my Outlook account, and I accidentally replied to ALL of the client's big wigs on an email trail regarding very high level engineering questions..by simply hitting what I thought was the enter button. Of course my boss, and boss's boss were on the trail too. I panicked and sent an apology email, then tried unsending my search query But Outlook can't unsend from people in outside organizations So 15 ...

TIFU by lying to her about my age

That was two months ago but the consequences just arrived today. Let's start with why I lied to her, what I am about to tell you is something I am very ashamed and insecure about so keep that in mind, I am from Sudan wasn't born there but that doesn't matter I live here now and that country has endless list of problems including war, an actual war that's been going for 4 years. I don't want to get into it further but before the war there were serious protests and hundreds of people were gunned down like open season, and before that there was COVID. So long story short everything in my life have been frozen and paused for over half a decade, it makes gives me anxiety thinking about it gives an actual panic attack thinking about how many years of my gone to nothing. Sorry for the long intro I just wanted to explain why did i lie to her, not just her I lie to everyone about my age, I lie to friends, random Redditors, I lie to my uncle who forgot how old I am, b...
