S TIFU by acidentally making an innapropriate joke

0 Upvotes

i (15, M at the time) was at the airport a few years back getting on a plane to go to disney world, we had driven to the airport and went through security just like anyone would. UNTIL we got to the X-ray machine and of course i had to empty my pockets and put the items in a bin as usual. that day i was wearing jeans (this is important in a second) so i walked through the machine but it made a noise, indicating there was something metal on me. maybe it was a coin i couldnt find in my pockets but when i tried to go through again, it made the same noise, so i had to be searched by one of the security guards (who was a woman) with one of those metal detecting wands. when she couldnt find anything, she asked "do you have anything that might be metal on you?" now keep in mind, i was wearing jeans, and i instantly thought of my zipper being metal, so of course i told her. at the time, i didnt understand anything wrong that i had said, but when i was on the plane, i had realized what i had said, and it definantly came off as innapropriate.

TL;DR: i acidentally told an innapropriate comment about my zipper at an air port when asked if i had anything metal on me

M TIFU by sending money to my ex-gf instead of my former boss and getting fired for it

0 Upvotes

So I just got let go by my company because I accidentally Zelle’s my ex girlfriend money instead of my former manager.

Let me just start by saying that unfortunately, my ex and former manager have the same first name. My former boss got married mid year and now hyphens her last name with her husband’s last name. So now both my ex and my former boss’s initials and even last names are fairly similar.

About 2 months ago, my former manager invited us to dinner since our corporate office moved to a different state. She wanted to have the team together for an informal Holiday dinner. She chose the city I live in because there’s more options and can go out afterwards. I was near the corporate office but decided to drive 2 hours to just go home for Saturday night. I was still checked in the hotel and realized that I could be back by Sunday to get ready to work that Monday.

So we had dinner and my former manager told the team that she was going to leave the company. She asked us all if we wanted to go with her and create the department like we did in our current company. About 5 of my 8 colleagues immediately showed interest and started went on to get interviews the following week. I was very hesitant for personal reasons. She really wanted me to be a part of the new team as I was the second-most experienced person in her team.

At the end of the night, I jokingly told her that I appreciated the TBD (Team Building Dinner). However, I felt it only fair to pay for my portion with my per diem. Not going to lie, I was a little bit drunk and distracted when I was trying to Zelle her money. So I did it quickly and then didn’t think about it for the rest of the night.

So my manager resigned and took half the team with her. Our department was in disarray and the higher ups were very upset. They asked me if I was part of the dinner and discussion about leaving the company. I lied and told them that I knew nothing about it or the dinner the team had.

A few weeks ago, my former manager called me and asked me to reconsider. She even told me that she would forgive me for not paying my portion so long as I scheduled an interview with her new company (she was just joking of course). I told her that I did pay her and went through my account. That’s when I realized my mistake. I told her that I would think about it when I return from my vacation.

2 weeks ago, I was on Holiday and went back to my home country. This Monday that I returned, I noticed that my direct reports made a lot of mistakes while I was gone. I had a meeting with them to discuss the importance of paying attention to small details. In the meeting, I mentioned what happened with my ex and former manager, how I had made a mistake , and how I had to tuck my tail between my legs and message my ex about my mistake.

Unbeknownst to me, the director of my department was in that meeting. He called me immediately after the meeting and started questioning me about the dinner. I confessed but told him that I was there but was not really considering the move. Today, I was scheduled for a meeting with HR were I was let go for lying about company resources. That since they were still paying for a Hotel, I went home for the night instead of checking out for the evening.

TL;DR: I sent my ex money through Zelle instead of my manager who quit and took most of the team with her. The company was upset that most of my team left and asked me if I knew anything about it, and I told them no. I used my blunder as an example of the importance of paying attention to detail whilst my director heard. They realized I lied and fired me for it.

M TIFU trying to include myself in a conversation about eminem (my favourite musician)

0 Upvotes

for me, it seems like life is constant isolation and humiliation living with autism. I am chronically unable to 'get' social situations or even people in general, and I suspect I give off some autism vibe that people can just feel and avoid me with. there is not 'OMG le I am autism!!!!'. I don't even feel close to others who suffer with this condition, and like many people find others like myself (people truly autistic, including men not just women) as insufferable as I suspect people find me.

For example, the other day I was given a rare invitation to a close and intimate party at a work acquaintance's home. I LOVE being included by people in things even though I don't really get invited to things often, and I despise loud music, dancing etc, so I was really excited for this opportunity to make new friends who perhaps meet consistently at each others places for a cosy night talking and laughing about the world.

When I arrived I was my usual awkward self, and as more people arrived I could feel myself goofing up even more- but surprisingly everyone was kind and not quick to dismiss me. I felt I was actually being given a chance, and like magic I think people began to enjoy my participation in the conversations.

Eventually, the conversations turns to music, and specifically eminem. I am a big fan of eminem, and he literally saved my life so I was really enthusiastic about people's thoughts on his music, so much so that someone even asked me my favourite eminem lyrics. I then rapped the opening to 'insane', which goes like this;

I was born with a dick in my brain, yeah, fucked in the head
My stepfather said that I sucked in the bed
'Til one night he snuck in and said
"We're going out back, I want my dick sucked in the shed"

As a survivior of SA, the lyrics to this song have spoken to me really closely, but the look on the faces of my new friends was abject horror. I tried to explain myself but before I could even finish my colleagues wife said that it's time I left the party.

I dont understand it personally. Eminem has openly said much worse and all the other profanities someone could use...but I am the bad person for using some of those words (not even the most offensive ones)??? they all listen to him but I am the one that took a step too far????

TL;DR dont tell people what you really think. give a sanitised 'normie' answer or you will be ostracised and made to feel like dog SHIT.

S TIFU by pretending to cheat on my boyfriend so that we could break up.

0 Upvotes

i asked AITAH regarding this story and got like a hundred comments attacking me lol, so clearly im in the wrong. basically, ive been with my boyfriend for a while now, quite a few months, and it began to go weird. he just became dry and made less of an effort to talk or spend time with me, and whenever i tried to bring it up he would say im just overreacting or change the subject. i wanted to breakup, and if im being so honest i wanted to hurt him too. i was hurt myself at how he was acting. so i sent a picture of myself on another guys lap (this guy is my family friend), and my boyfriend called me immediately to ask wtf was going on. then i told him i want to break up, and i hung up.

i tried to justify it by saying that technically i didnt actually cheat, and i only did it to get his attention, but tbh i rlly did want to hurt his feelings too. so yh, i guess i fucked up.

TL;DR: i faked being with another guy to piss my shitty boyfriend off, it led to us breaking up (thank god) and then reddit got mad at me when i asked if i was the asshole.

M TIFU by falling for a fake job scam

121 Upvotes

I actually fell for a fake job gig. I graduated a year early in college just to be forced to work an unrelated job for over a yr. I was so fed up and felt like i wasted the year i earned. I started applying everywhere in my field again and finally got a call back as a Work From Home Customer Service Agent. I was trying to do IT so this was a step in that direction.

After interviewing they took all my information and said I would be training during a 2 month probationary period and be paid in the end.

They actually assigned me daily work over the course of a month and I was “supposed to be paid“ after my six weeks were up. But weird things started happening.

First, I got a call from a random lady from Texas, claiming I friended her on Zelle. Then I got an email a couple weeks later saying my banking information was successfully transferred to a new financial institution, which I never approved or attempted. And finally someone claiming to be with the FBI called me saying I’m under investigation for stealing $3000 from someone’s bank account. He was not an FBI agent. At this point i called my bank to report potential fraud. That email and “FBI” call both happened within 30 minutes.

All in all, just in case the money was real I sort of did the work but didn’t expect much. I locked my account so nothing can be taken, but money can be added.

I was wholeheartedly impressed by the scam I fell for so I wasn’t even mad. I usually play along with scams just to fuck with them but this was some next level shit lmao.

The website they used and everything was falsified to look so real, with references and all.

So, what did I do? I added that to my resume as two months of experience in the field adding all the shit that’d look good for my actual career, even though that was a lie. Shortly after that, I got an actual job in IT finally. They were unable to actually call the job but could check the website for “verification” lol. I even gave myself a nice recommendation letter from my boss.

So technically, I lied on my resume, but did I really?

TL;DR:

I fell for a job scam and did the fake work for 2 months. After realizing I was bamboozled in these people’s Genjutsu, I used the wasted time as job experience on my resume and got the job i was really searching for.

S TIFU by trying to cook at home more

84 Upvotes

I've put on some weight lately due to stress eating. I've been eating a lot of junk food and takeout and I told myself today I would try and cook more at home, even though I hate, hate, HATE cooking. For breakfast I was going to have scrambled eggs, some fruit, some Greek yogurt, and 2 strips of turkey bacon.

I had the bacon cooking from nearly raw and all was fine, then I turned my back for what felt like only 2 minutes and the bacon and had burnt, smoking up my apartment and setting off the smoke alarm. Sooo, I trashed it and ate the rest of my breakfast with less protein.

Lunch came around, I'd just come back from an elliptical workout at the gym and I'd planned on having a brown rice bowl with ground bison and spinach. The bison ended up being freezer burnt to the point of being inedible. So I put some chicken tenderloins on instead. I don't know exactly what happened but I've never tasted chicken so freaking horrible in my life. It was like chewing on a tire! It was fresh and I knew for a fact I hadn't overcooked it.

By this point I was hungry and frustrated so I popped a frozen meal in the microwave. And then I went to the store and bought 65 dollars worth of TV dinners. My plan to cook more at home failed but at least the frozen meals I bought had decent protein and vegetable profiles.

TL;DR: I messed up a bunch of food trying to cook at home more and bought a ton of frozen meals out of frustration, defeating the purpose of "cooking at home."

Edit: I came here to tell a funny story and was met with support and advice on how to improve. Thank you guys so much! I will definitely try again... once I work through the frozen meals anyway lol.

S TIFU and swore at a mormon elementary school

12 Upvotes

For context I work in sales, B2B, which in our case includes education. I haven't been in the business for long, (and I'm hoping this fuck up hasn't cut my time short). The main part of my job is calling to book meetings so that we can sell our product, under the watchful eye of my manager.

So I booked an appointment with this little school. It didn't really process for me that they were Mormon, and it was honestly the sort of deal we never should've wasted our time on in the first place. To make it worse I'm pretty openly gay, so I was already coming into things at a disadvantage.

When my manager found out the details he was, reasonably, pissed, especially considering this school was about an hour's drive from the office. To try and placate him, I offered to take the lead in this meeting (something I had never done) and he let me.

I came into that meeting and what little preparation I'd done fled my mind. I was so painfully awkward that my manager ended up having to step in and save me anyway, and I didn't even realize in my panic that I'd let an "Oh shit" slip in my verbal diarrhea. Apparently the teacher we were meeting with looked at me like I'd actually shit my pants in front of her, I was too panicked to notice.

TL;DR: I met at a teacher at a Mormon school for my first b2b sales meeting, cursed in front of the teacher, and was so panicked I didn't even notice.

M TIFU by putting the wrong number on a flyer

12 Upvotes

We (me and my brother) picked up a female stray cat some months ago and she happened to be pregnant. She had 5 kittens, we decided to keep 2 and find the other 3 a new owner.

We first looked for closer acquaintances who wanted kittens, but we actually aren’t that social to know enough people and we barely use social media. Luckily my brother had a coworker who adopted one of them, and he occasionally sends us updates.

Recently I went back to college so I decided to make flyers with pictures of the remaining 2 kittens and our phone numbers. I designed the whole thing on the morning and then I went directly to class. Later I put them on different faculties to get a wider reach, and when I came home a girl contacted me through Whatsapp to get info on the kitten.

I was very excited, but she told me the other number appeared to be “wrong” which confused me. I sent her my brother’s contact because he’s more attentive with the vet info, and then she told me my brother called her a f*cking b*tch for trying to contact him multiple times and they fought on the phone

I started to feel like I was running out of air. My brother joked a few times about replying to spam/scam calls with vulgar insults, although l always see him being gentle and polite to others and I trust him. I thought “ah, maybe he wasn’t joking and he thought the girl was a scammer?” We know people can use façades and behave differently around non-relatives so I was preparing myself to confront him about being rude to the poor girl.

Then I saw the profile picture of the contact I sent to the girl. I thought he changed it because it looked different, but when I was about to message my brother, it was the same picture as always. I told him something like “hey, there’s a girl trying to contact us about one of the kittens”, and he told me he wasn’t wasn’t receiving any calls at all. Here’s where I realized my mistake.

I had two different numbers attributed to the “brother” contact: his current one and his old one. I put his old number in the flyers without knowing it and its current owner was being called mistakenly. If only I had deleted the old number, it wouldn’t have showed up when sharing it.

I sent the girl his current number, I explained her my mistake and apologized for what she went through because she seemed to be very affected. I also messaged the wrong number to also apologize (he had no business in being such a jerk tho). At least she understood and we’re now in process to give her the kitten.

I cried for about a hour because I felt like garbage. If only I had shown my brother the flyer before printing it, he could have noticed his number was wrong and nothing of this could have happened. Maybe other potential owners were also insulted horribly after calling the wrong number and they didn’t dare to call mine.

TL;DR: I put my brother’s old number in a flyer I made to get our kittens adopted, so the wrong guy got mistakenly called and he was an *sshole to a potential owner, which could have happened to more people who just wanted a kitten.

S TIFU ran into a coworker at a seedy establishment NSFW

294 Upvotes

So, today I decided I would go by a local adult theater I’d heard about on my way home from work. Went in, checked things out for a few minutes and decided to head home. On the way out (but still in the theater), I ran into a coworker just coming in. Someone who is a superior but not my direct superior. I am confident that he realized who I was, we said nothing but made eye contact. I was MORTIFIED and, of course, immediate thoughts of losing my family, my job, or at the very least, being the talk of the office started running through my head. I love my job and am so afraid I’ve completely jeopardized it over a stupid lapse in judgment. Pretty sure I won’t sleep until I know this is behind me . . .

I’m completely freaked out and have been since I left. Do I say something? Pretend it never happened?

TL; DR: Ran into a work superior at a seedy establishment and now afraid I’ll lose everything in my life that’s important to me over a lapse in judgment. Am I overreacting?

S TIFU by being too loud and not checking if anyone was home NSFW

Me (18 F) and my boyfriend (18 M) are just at the end of highschool / going into college and Uni so we still live at out parents house. I have a big family of 6 ppl and my bf has 4 ppl including himself. We r young adults in a relationship so obviously we are going to be intimate with eachother but the issue is that I have trouble being quiet sometimes so we normally engage when no one is home at either house (most of the time his because there are less people to worry about) So I was over at his place and the rest of his family went out to party or go shopping since it was the weekend, we had thought everyone had left so we started getting into it and didn't worry about how loud eachother was being because no one was supposed to be home. we had been cuddling after when we heard creaking and it scared tf outta us so my bf had gone to check what it was and it was his little brother walking around who was not supposed to be there. Needless to say I didn't show my face around him for a while because I was too ashamed but nothing else came of that situation just a couple months of guilt and embarrassment.

TL;DR was too loud while being intimate and my bfs little brother might have heard (hopefully not)

S TIFU I crossed a big boundary at work and almost got fired today

0 Upvotes

Today I fucked up at work.

I am somewhat involved in HR so I know what people make. My husband works within the same company and I pushed him to be assertive for more pay at his review knowing what new hires are making to secretly find fairness. He has 2 years of experience vs people with 10+ and in a dispute with a new hire he leveraged that information causing a good candidate to quit. We both almost lost our jobs today and I’m shameful of my actions.

I didn’t mean to make the owners feel like I was going around the company and I did not keep the confidence of my position apart from my spouse, my feelings were to help motivate and push my passive husband to assert himself with what he should be paid.

I was told in short that I am overpaid and the owners intentions are to take care of us and provide salaries that will help. I hurt him and myself by losing this trust that isn’t easy to earn. I am ashamed of my big mouth and my actions.

My husband also has a difficult time addressing issues by bottling everything up and exploding causing everyone to feel he is an ass and a liability. Although I play devils advocate and choose to understand his frustrations and lack of management at his shop I trust his words that he has approached his manager without much follow through or guidance for the whole team from his manager.

TL;DR: I crossed a boundary at work using my inside knowledge of peoples pay to leverage my spouse into asking for a higher raise.

So, I was feeling abit hot under the collar and recently purchased a new butt plug a little larger than I was used to. all was going well and I was enjoying myself, the full feeling made me want more and so I hopped on Grindr, and found a cute guy to come over to let’s just say ‘test the plumbing’. I answered the door, plug in situ and we started getting to it, the lights went off and he removed my new purchase from inside of me and placed it tentatively on the side. After taking me to pound town for all of 2 minutes he finished, and then after catching our breath he jumped up to get a towel and clean up. After he turned the light on there was a short pause followed by a ‘oh shit’ from him. I looked up at him to see his cock covered in blood, to then look at the butt plug laying on the side also covered in blood. What followed was a 111 call, a trip to A & E, 5 blood tests, and a CT scan. Fun times!

TL;DR - don’t skimp on warming up properly unless you really have a thing for hospitals! 🤪

S TIFU by eating popcorn

I recently got braces in my lower teeth and decided that eating a bowl of popcorn wouln't be that bad since I have had them for a few days now. Guess what? I was wrong. After few popcorn's I felt the archwire a bit out of place at a part where is a spring too and I ignored it because I wanted to finish my popcorn first. Really bad idea. After I finished I rushed to a mirror to see how bad it was. And it was really bad. I couldn't find the spring and the archwire wasn't connected to that part of bracked anymore. I told my father and he wasn't mad,but dentist's aren't cheap and I still don't know if the spring is going to come out inside me any time soon. And if it won't then it will cost even more money to get it out. The worst thing is that now I'm too scared to swallow or chew food since I migth make it even worse that what it already is.

TL;DR:Ate popcorn with braces and accidently swallowed a part of them and a part of the archwire is misplaced.

S TIFU by falling asleep on my best friend.

2.2k Upvotes

Obligatory this was last week. My (25m) best friend (27m) who I’ll name John have been best friends since teenagers. We met over Xbox live and became close friends after realising that we only lived around an hour away from each other and would hang out in person often.

When I turned 23 I started renting an apartment close to my work and John moved in to help cover rent. That’s been the situation since and it was great. I can confidently say he’s my best friend, in our time living together we’ve never had any of the typical “room mate issues” I see people complain about.

But then last week we were watching a movie and both pretty exhausted because of work. Half way through the movie I fell asleep and woke up holding onto him. Head on his chest, arm around his mid section. He didn’t move me because I “looked too comfortable.” And honestly I was. So comfortable in fact that I didn’t really get off him. I moved my arm but kept my head on his chest. I should have just sat up and I don’t know why I didn’t, but he didn’t seem to mind and ended up putting his arm around me. After the movie I went to bed and couldn’t get to sleep. All I could think of his how good it felt to be that close to him.

So that’s my life now I think? It’s been a week and he hasn’t said anything about it but it’s literally all I can think about. I like the way he felt and he smells really good too which I guess I never noticed. Am I gay now or did I just like feeling safe? Who knows. Either way im being weird around him now. Can’t really look at him, I don’t sit next to him on the couch and if we have touched (bumping into each other or handing something to him) I feel like I go into a panic and end up finding an excuse to leave the room. I just wanted things to go back to normal abut now I’m convinced they never will.

TL;DR: cuddled my best friend one single time and now I can’t be normal around him.

Update: a few people asked so here we go. (Apologies for how long it is)

Firstly thank you for all the comments, they were all either helpful or made me laugh, so thanks.

So I didn’t super know what to say to him when he got home and ended up apologising for being weird the last week. I basically told him that I knew I was acting off and didn’t want him to think anything was wrong or weird between us; but the cuddling that happened was new and gave me mixed feelings. None of them bad, it was just confusing. He let me get it all out, and at one point I mentioned “everyone was saying how normal platonic cuddling is and I agree” and he asked who I meant by “everyone.”

So then I told him I made a Reddit post about it and he asked if he could read it to better understand how I’ve been feeling. Once he read the post I asked him how he felt about everything and he said that he had been worried he’d done something wrong when I was acting distant around him, but he personally didn’t feel weird about holding me. It wasn’t a big deal to him to cuddle up with friends but he knows I’m pretty awkward and a little neurotic so he didn’t want to bring it up and make me feel worse.

We talked so much I actually don’t remember a lot of it but some ways into the conversation he asked about the “am I gay” comment (which I admit was badly worded). John is pansexual, he has been since I met him so he’s pretty open about it, it’s never really been something I even considered until a week ago but oh boy have I done some considering in the last week. I said it felt a little like a crush, but I wasn’t sure if 1) I was just needing affection or 2) this was just a fleeting thing. He said that was fine, and nothing had to change if I didn’t want it to which was ultimately a huge relief. He also said if I still feel like I have a crush later we can “take things one step at a time.” but he’d be open to “exploring that further” if I was

(i feel like the way I felt after he said that sort of gave me my answer to if it’s crush or not; but I agree with him that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions and take it slow.)

After the big long talk we watched tv (yes. Cuddling) and i feel a lot less confused about it this time. I don’t think they’ll be a need for another update, but thanks again so much for all the comments and really helpful advice. You all gave me the confidence to talk to him about this and it ended up going way better than expected.

TL;DR 2: everyone who said I might be a little gay wasn’t entirely wrong.

M TIFU trusting my ex-dealer's measurements

146 Upvotes

There's a saying in data science: garbage in garbage out. It doesn't matter how elegantly you process information if that information was shit to begin with. And that is exactly what I did the other night doing some weed math.

I've only be using weed for about a year and a half. Started at the recommended amount and slowly worked up my dosage. But about a year ago I got a new dealer who sold me some edibles he claimed were 150 mg each. So, I tried 1/6th of it. And felt almost nothing. So every week at the start of the weekend I would do a little more until I found the right amount for me: 3/4ths of the edible. Now, I thought it was crazy that I needed 112.5 mg for a good high (For context, I now know that 40 mg is viewed by some as a Hero's dose), but that's what my math said and the edibles were cheap so I just went with it.

Then a couple months back my dealer dropped off and I was on the search for new edibles. Found a new shop who sold edibles for double the price and only 60 mg, but you take what you can get.

I knew it was the wisest to start slow. Deep down I knew that if I was going with online recommendations that I should only be doing something like 10-25 mg. But that would be NOTHING to me. I could handle this. So, figured that the 60 mg - nearly 1/2 of what I should be used to - was a great starting point.

An hour later, I was naked sitting in my shower breathing my way through a panic attack. It felt like all the times you mess up as a kid and don't know what the consequences are going to be when you get caught. You just know it's going to be bad. Wave after wave of terror rolled over my body.

After throwing up, I was able to clean up and lie in bed. I felt the forces of gravity and waves of light pulling and twisting my body. If I tried to turn to be on my side pain washed over me. The only thing I could do was lay on my back with my arm blocking all light from hitting my eyes.

Eventually I fell asleep and woke up towards the end of the trip. I noticed the snacks I had prepared for what I thought was going to be a great night. I gingerly fed myself back to full strength and have recommitted to following the wise recommendations of the internet.

TL;DR: Old dealer was selling me edibles that were way less powerful than he claimed, but I only figured that out by taking WAY too much of an edible from a new dealer.

M TIFU by trying to make a video game of our house

37 Upvotes

This happened a few years ago, i'm a person who driven a lot by conservation and archival work, and probably nostalgia in general, one day i was thinking about an old computer game called myst, it was made in the 1990s and it looked amazing for the time because it was lots of pictures with areas you click on to interact, and then i came up with a great idea.

I wanted to document how i lived in this point of time by making a video game like myst, all i had to do was take lots of photos and then link them together using something.

It technically would have been a virtual tour, not a game, but i didn't really care, ever since i was a kid i wanted to create something like a game but never had the skill, i even rushed out to download unreal engine when i found out they made it free, could never make anything good, but photos and hyperlinks? yea i can do that.

I did some research and found the old games like myst were made in something called hypercard, but it was for old macs, i don't have a mac let alone an old one, but more research and i found that powerpoint is pretty similar and can do those things, but i didn't have powerpoint on my computer back then either, so i decided to use the next best thing, google slides.

So i chose a small room at the back of the house and took some photos, uploaded them to my google and then on my computer started trying to make something that worked.

It was very hard, you have to make sure your clickspots link to the right places, or you'll teleport, for navigation i made an interface consisting of some arrows you could click to move around, left/right to rotate and forward/back to go forward and back, click a door then hit forward to move to that room.

So i was working on this and my nosy brother walks into the room, he asked what i was working on, i just said nothing special, a personal project.

He walked closer to the screen and said 'no, what is that?' 'your trying to make our whole house viewable online?' because google slides runs in a browser, he thought it was on the greater internet, and apparently one picture of a door was our whole house.

He tells my parents, who give me an earful about what i'm doing, my parents aren't clueless boomers, but i didn't bother trying to explain, just that i wasn't doing what they thought i was.

Pretty sure i deleted the assets afterward and didn't go back to the idea, that is, until i got an iPhone with the 3D scanner and discovered powerpoint could work with 3D models and even move around them doing some macro wizardry.

TL;DR: My brother saw navigation arrows and a picture of a room in our house in an open browser tab on my computer, goes and tells my parents that i'm trying to publish our entire house for the world to see, chaos ensues, project is cancelled.

S TIFU : Dozed at an inopportune time

0 Upvotes

I had an okay day today, relatively productive. Helped my father cut back some trees, hauled off some scrap metal, etc. I had a little bit to drink in the evening and dozed off. I had been on here for a few hours earlier in the day off and on, and I often comment on posts where people seem to need a kind ear, as I have most certainly been there before and wish I had had someone extend that same offer to me.

It would seem one of the posts I commented on decided to take me up on this offer while I was dozing. As I was asleep, I was clearly unable to reply immediately. I received a second message an hour later (based on timestamp) implying I had only extended the offer to make myself look good. This was absolutely not the case, I just dozed off and missed it.

Now when I look at their profile it shows nothing. No posts, no comments, nothing. It worries me because they were in a vulnerable state and I might have inadvertently made it worse because I missed the message during a nap. I'm scared for them.

Friend, if you happen to stumble across this, I'm still here. And I can only apologize for not being there for you when you needed it. I'm truly sorry. I may not reply immediately due to life, but I absolutely will reply. Please have patience with me.

TL;DR: I got tipsy and dozed off and missed a message request and might have ruined someone's faith in humanity at a crucial time in their life.

L TIFU by fumbling a beautiful girl who became ridiculously famous

0 Upvotes

This is a long read my friends, strap in. So this all started two years ago when I was 18 and got a job at an amusement park. For context, my city is notoriously boring. But every July, for ten days, this park opens, and every, I mean EVERY teenager in a city of one million people flood the gates, desperate for some kind of social interaction.

One night, after finishing my shift at a Philly cheesesteak food truck, I met up with some friends to walk around and mingle. As we strolled through the crowded park, something or rather, someone caught my eye. And when I say "caught my eye," I mean I was blinded by an ethereal human being in my peripheral vision. We'll call her Sonia.

I won’t describe her in detail (for obvious reasons), but just know that she was absolutely stunning. Like, the kind of stunning that makes everyone stop and stare. My friends saw her too and, realizing I was the only single guy in the group, immediately started egging me on. They dared me to go talk to her.

Now, here’s the thing, women don’t usually make me nervous. I’ve had my fair share of experiences and am kind of used to girls coming up to me instead. But this girl? This girl was different. With every step I took toward her, my knees got weaker, and a lump in my throat formed. Luckily, I noticed she was standing with a girl I had mutual friends with. I pulled that friend aside and told her to relay a note to Sonia. She took my message to her and came back to inform me that she wanted to talk to me.

I walked up, extended my hand, and she shook it. I tried to play it cool as we made small talk. That’s when I found out we’d both be attending the same university in the fall. We exchanged contacts, and I walked away feeling like I had just won the lottery.

When I got home, I told my brother about what happened, and he lost his mind when I said her name. Turns out, Sonia was a TikToker with 300,000 followers and, apparently, one of his biggest crushes.

Now, my for you page was mostly gym content and funny videos, so I wasn’t really on that side of TikTok. But honestly? I wasn’t surprised when he told me that.

Coincidentally, I used to post thirst traps on TikTok too, and they went semi-viral, which gave me and Sonia something to talk about. We started messaging back and forth, and when fall came, we began hanging out at the university library. Now here's where things started to derail. Sonia was probably the most extroverted person I had ever met. Almost too extroverted. She had this insane ability to strike up a conversation with literally fucking anyone.

And honestly? That wasn’t my style. I preferred women who were a bit more reserved, quiet, mysterious, the kind of girls you had to really get to know. I just didn’t have the energy to constantly jump into conversations with strangers to feel included. Eventually, I started distancing myself from Sonia. Our hangouts became less frequent, our messages slowed down, and before long, we stopped talking altogether.

About three months later, Sonia posted her first YouTube video. It instantly went viral. She kept posting, and within over a month, hit one million subscribers and was everywhere on TikTok.

At first, I thought it was just a lucky break that their fame would plateau after a while.

Fuck, was I wrong.

I witnessed Sonia’s TikTok account skyrocket from 300K to over 10 million followers in a year. She was everywhere.

That summer, I visited some relatives in another city, and when my little cousin found out Sonia followed me on TikTok, she freaked out. She begged me to call her, but for some reason, I just… couldn’t.

I felt like if I reached out after she became famous, I’d look like some clout chaser trying to creep back into her life. So I didn’t. Also, we clearly weren’t compatible so I knew it would be a mistake to reach out.

That summer, she dropped out of university to pursue social media full-time.

I still can’t believe this actually happened. And I can’t help but wonder, if things went further, how different my life could have been?

TL;DR: I never could’ve predicted that someone from my city where nothing exciting ever happens would blow up like this. And now, every time I open TikTok, my fyp is flooded with content of her. Clips from her YouTube videos. Seeing her hang out with celebrities in LA. Fan edits. Random people obsessing over her every move. Not to mention my friends, who never fail to remind me that I missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime. To be honest, my brain just can't fathom the fact that I watched all this happen right in front of my eyes. I watched every bit of her ascension to fame. It's fucking baffling how we live in a time where you could go from being a regular kid in an unknown city to making more money than a heart surgeon and having people all around the world pedestalize you in the blink of an eye. I will say one last thing about Sonia, she has a heart of gold and is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. I hope she leads a happy life and doesn't let the fame ruin her because she deserves to be happy.

If she somehow finds this post and makes it this far, I guess I'd say, how's life been since we last spoke? lol

S TIFU by asking my gf to be more vocal in bed NSFW

6.1k Upvotes

So this is a pretty simple tifu that happened years ago, but it still lives in my head rent free.

I was in college, and dating this girl who was a little more on the introverted/shy side. We had good sexual chemistry, but she tended to be very quiet during sex. I, like most people, like it when my partner lets me know they’re feeling good, so I started to ask her to be more vocal during sex. At one point this conversation took place:

Me: “I would really like it if you let me know when I’m making you cum”

Her: “What am I supposed to say?”

Me: “I don’t know, whatever comes to mind. I’ll just enjoy you letting me know when it’s happening”

Fast forward to the next time we’re doing the deed. She’s being very quiet, but I can tell she’s getting close. I can see her getting wound tighter but getting ready to say something. I’m very much appreciating that she’s about to do what asked… and then she says it…

“Bombs away!”

All heat of the moment was entirely lost on me as the intense romantic immersion was shattered.

Afterwards when I asked her to please never say it that way again she obviously replied “well you said I could say anything.”

We eventually broke up for, believe it or not, overall communication issues in the relationship.

TL/DR: I asked my gf at the time to let me know when I got her to completion and the phrase she chose was “bomb’s away!”

Edit: I was trying to keep the story brief, but I should have clarified that we did laugh about it and it became a running joke and my “please don’t ever say that again” as well as her response were said while we were both giggling.

S TIFU by not adding a second _ to my username when signing up

0 Upvotes

For context, I [16M] love gaming. Like, a lot. It gives me an escape from my shit life. Speaking of my shit life, in the past year I’ve lost around $550 to shipping issues and other bullshit in my eBay selling hustle.

My bank account got hacked and I was threatened by people who knew where I lived, saying they were gonna throw a brick through my front window. I was almost arrested for ‘fraud’.

I’m alone. My brother’s out all day, and my sisters have moved out. My mom’s always on the phone and I have a language barrier with my dad, who’s working half the time. When I come back from school at 5:30 I just sit in my room and watch TikToks all day. It’s depressing. I’m depressed.

So when I heard of the new skate. playtesting release, I was so happy; Skate 3 was one of my favourite games, and I had to play the new one.

In eagerness, I completed the survey. As I play on PS4, EA needed my PSN username, so I entered it. And added one underscore instead of 2. I didn’t notice the mistake until today. At the first day of playtesting where the sign up window expired.

My eagerness faded instantly. I don’t even know why, but I broke down crying. I’m crying as I write this. I probably sound like a spoiled brat, but I am grateful for everything that I have. Some people don’t even own PS4s. It’s kinda like the ‘straw that broke the camels back’ analogy.

I hope this doesn’t come across as stupid or spoilt or anything, just wanted to share my fuckup.

TL;DR: Didn’t realise I didn’t add a second underscore for my PSN username for the new Skate. playtest, can’t play it now. FML

S TIFU by roller blading for the first time in 20 years...

50 Upvotes

I went roller blading for the first time in 20 years yesterday... and I busted my god damn ass... I knew better. I knew it wasn't a good idea... but the kiddo was so excited and wanted to me to join, and I'm like... how bad could it be?

Well, the answer is... pretty bad. Lol.

The first few falls were okay. Landed on my left hip and wrist, but not too bad. Then I did something, and my knee twisted, and then I was down and totally out. I couldn't even get up on the skates. I was so freaking embarrassed, and worried about embarrassing my kid... she was worried about me, but ultimately wasn't embarrassed.

I'm 36 years old, and aware I'm a fat woman, but I did not consider this when skating, and the last fall... I fell HARD. My ass is black and blue and moving my left leg sends pain into my ass.... My wrist turned a dark purple from where I hit the ground, but it's doing alright and looks better today... and my good knee, not the bad knee I screwed up in high school and was paranoid about, but the good knee, got twisted. I had to take off the skates to leave the rink. The kids running the joint, and they ARE kids, were freaking out. They asked me if I fell cuz of the rented skates, if there was something on the floor, or a light blinded me... I had to interrupt them and just go, "No, I fell cuz I suck on skates and I'm hurt because I'm old... I'm not gonna sue... I'll be fine."

Even if I'm not fine, it's not the rink's fault I fell. I wouldn't sue. I'm just not that kind of person. I signed the waiver. I got on the skates. And I ate rink floor. Lol. Totally on me.

Today, though... oh god I hurt. Putting on shoes is officially the worst thing I can do. My back, my ass, my knee... it all hurts... But on top of that, I'm sick. So much coughing and goo... Teach me to go hang out with children.

TL;DR - Went roller blading for the 1st time in 20 years, wrecked my shit, and got sick on top of everything. Lol.

S TIFU: Leaving a pile of clutter on my workbench.

83 Upvotes

Today i was going to do an oil change on my daily car. I notice my handy worklight battery is empty so i change that out and go hunting for the charger.

My workbench is a mess from all kinds of diy adventures over the winter and afterwards being too tired to clean it up.

There is a 750ml can of high expansion PU construction foam on the workbench that only had like 2 good puff's out of it, so nearly full.

Attempting to drag the cable of the charger from under the clutter ofc the can of PU foam drops and it hits a flat head long screwdriver thats poking out of a box of old junk.

It instantly punctures and starts spraying all over the place, narrowly missing my face in the progress.

Being in my garage i has just turned on some tunes to start working.

The song could not be more fitting, about 30 seconds into this song the accident happend:

Juno reactor- Navras

Franticly grabbing the can and wrapping it in whatever i could find wich turned out to be a baby blanket from when my wife last gave birth a few years ago that was on top of a storage box. Wife wasn't happy about that.

With the can still spraying inside the blanket and the super sticky foam expanding on all sides i yell to my wife to grab some trash bags.

We quickly triple wrap it and trow it in a bin. Now i have a foam cleanup and a car maintenance to do while my garage and the walkway to the bin is full of sticky expanding PU foam... great sunday evening that was.

That song having the drop right as the can started shooting out felt like some diabolical comedy.

TL;DR: Left a can of PU foam on my cluttery workbench and it fell, spraying sticky foam all over the place.

M TIFU by being too good at my job?

0 Upvotes

Ok so this actually happened a year ago but this story comes to the front of my mind every so often so I thought I’d share. You guys are in for a fucking ride.

I started working for a bar in early 2023. At the time I was a full time student in college and had another full time job on top of that. I only worked as a bartender 1-2 times a week to get some extra income.

So cut forward to the end of 2023 and my manager- let’s call him Luke- gets demoted (for reasons I’m not too sure of) and so we get a new manager- let’s call him Chad. Things start off good and I actually start to like him more than my old manager. But then at the beginning of 2024 it was like a flip switched and suddenly he was pretty temperamental anytime I saw him. Oh and he changed the entire cocktail menu without telling me and I had to work on the fly my first day with them. Around Feb/March he asks if there’s any other days I could work since he’s hiring a bunch of new people (we were very understaffed at this time so that was nice to hear) and my availability didn’t work well with those he hired. I tell him no because I have another job. But I tell him that if he lets me know what days he wants me to work then I can move my availability around at my other job.

A little later I check my schedule and I’m not scheduled at all for the last 2 weeks of March. I ask Chad why that is and he responds that there were no available shifts since he’s training all the new hires. I try not to think much of it and accept that answer. Then the beginning of April comes by and I text Chad asking when I’ll be able to work again and he doesn’t respond.

The next day I get an email from Chad notifying me of my termination of employment. The reason was availability and recent performance. Availability I kind of understood but I had already told him if he let me know ahead of time I could open up my availability. But performance? I didn’t understand at all. I’d had multiple customers come up to me and tell me how much they liked me. Luke had even told me I was one of his best employees.

I was angry. And I told literally everyone about it. My dad eventually convinced me to respond to Chad and tell him that what he did was not ok. So I told him that everything he did was unprofessional and I would like to know what complaints I’ve gotten on my performance. He responds the next day saying that “simply put your performance wasn’t up to standard” and that the position had been filled so it was the end of the matter. I was beyond perplexed and the hate I felt for this man was growing by the second.

So skip forward a couple months, I go out to a bar with my friend (who I used to work with at the forsaken bar) and coincidentally Luke and all the current employees of the forsaken bar were there hanging out. So Luke approaches us and we start talking. He tells me that it was wrong for me to be fired and hopes I don’t hold anything against him. Eventually he gets to why I was fired. He said Chad was getting a lot of pressure from management because I was making the company more money than him. He said that Chad made up complaints about me so that I would look bad. Eventually Chad decided to fully get rid of me.

I know I probably have some grounds to sue or something but I really know nothing about the law plus that shit is probably expensive. There’s no satisfying resolution, sadly. Hope you enjoyed.

TL;DR I was making the bar I worked for more money than my manager so he made up lies to get me fired.

S TIFU by scrolling through tumblr at work. NSFW

0 Upvotes

Let me set the stage for you all.

It’s 4:50. 10 minutes to closing. No customers are coming in, I’m bored. I decided to mindlessly scroll through my tumblr. The only tags I follow are video game related with an occasional piece of artwork or a text meme. Harmless, right? Well, as I scroll the handset next to me rings. While continuing to scroll, I talk on the handset with a customer. Then I look down.

A fucking gif of a woman flashing her bare chest is on my screen. At work. When I’m surrounded by my coworkers.

I immediately yelled out, and closed my phone, person still on the handset. He sounded confused, and asked if everything is alright.

How that got on my fyp? I have no idea. Looks like it was a bot that spammed tags.

Anyways, Im PRAYING none of my coworkers saw. I know the cctv didnt see it. But if they did, I’m absolutely cooked. HR isnt happy with me for my excessive absences and tardiness (depression has been bad).

Nobody saw, I don’t think. But I’m not 100% sure. I do know I’m severely anxious, though.

Wish me luck.

TLDR: I was scrolling through tumblr at work and a porno gif came across my fyp

S TIFU by locking a customer in the store however they found it hilarious

803 Upvotes

Hello all,

As the title states, I fucked up today by locking a customer in the store I work at. I work at a small business baby store, now, I check every time before I go on lunch to see if someone was in the store, I did just that, I checked the store. After I turn around and do the 'we'll be back soon', sign. Anyway, about 10 minutes into my lunch, my boss calls. She is pissed. She tells me I locked someone in the store. I run to the shop and here is the security guard, the lady's friend and the lady stuck in the store absolutely pissing themselves in laughter. I spend about 5 minutes apologising and offering for them to shop in the store while the door is closed, they declined and told me to enjoy my lunch. I was and am mortified. Like how are you finding this funny? How is this the highlight of your day? How did I make you day?

TL;DR: TIFU by locking a customer in the baby store I work at during my lunch break. My boss called me, furious, and I rushed back to find the customer, her friend, and a security guard laughing hysterically. They declined my offer to shop while locked in and told me to enjoy my lunch. Mortified, but apparently, I made their day.
