This is my first post on Reddit so bear with me.

So my grandparents are in town visiting from across the country, and we heard there was a brand new Mexican restaurant opening nearby that was supposed to have live mariachi music. Naturally, we figured it’d be a fun night out and brought the whole family.

We walk in and the place is insanely loud—like full-on fiesta chaos. The mariachi band is doing their thing just a few feet from our table, and it’s basically a sonic assault. As we were sitting down I discreetly asked the hostess if there was any chance they could turn it down a little bit because grandma has sensitive ears. (She doesn’t and loves live music) She says she’ll do her best and manages to get the band to tone it down a notch (bless her), but it’s still loud.

Here’s where I fucked up: the staff, being amazing, comes over to check in with my grandma—the one I claimed had sensitive ears—and she, totally unaware of what I said, just goes, “Oh no, I’m fine! I love live music!”

Cue manager #1 coming over five minutes later to let us know they’re seating a large party next to us, and it’ll probably be even louder, but different loud where people are talking. My grandma, still confused and clearly vibing, goes, “Yes, of course, we don’t mind!” The manager looks puzzled and gently says, “Well, I just wasn’t sure because of your, uh… sensitive ears?” My grandma’s like, “What? Oh no, it’s great!”

They must’ve just thought she was being polite because next thing we know, they reroute the big party to the other side of the restaurant, and the waitress swings by again to double check if the music’s too much. Again, my grandma—clueless to my little lie—is like, “Nope, I’m loving this!” I already feel so guilty for lying about this, and having the amazing restaurant staff try to accommodate her.

Eventually the mariachi band packs up… but then enters band #2. I don’t know what kind of sound system they brought, but it was like being front row at a Metallica concert in a cement box. My Apple Watch literally popped up with a hearing warning—it was over 90 decibels. I also wanna say I think this band did good. It was just way too loud for the size of this building with the equipment they had they should’ve been outside. I have a video, I will link it below. I shortened it so it is just the band because I want to keep my family private.

At this point, no one can hear anything. My brother was two chairs away from me screaming and I had no idea. The manager runs over again, clearly mortified, apologizing for the volume. Grandma? “Oh I love it!” I’m dying inside.

A poor busboy even tried to tell my boyfriend that the band wasn’t permanent—it was just for the grand opening—but he couldn’t hear him. So the guy turns to me. It took him THREE tries for me to make out, “It’s just for tonight…”

So yeah. I lied about my grandma’s ears… and an entire restaurant staff desperately tried to cater to a woman who is completely unbothered and absolutely thriving in the middle of a Mexican rave.

TL;DR: Lied and said my grandma had sensitive ears so the restaurant would lower their live music. She then repeatedly told the staff how much she loved it, confusing everyone and making them bend over backwards for nothing. Then a new band came in and nearly ruptured our eardrums, but grandma was still having the time of her life.

I can’t figure out how to link a video, any advice?

Got invited to kind of a “summer hangout/Pool party/ day drinking stuff” and showed up in a bikini, a cute fishnet top with a silk scarf, sunglasses, and my Jacquemus bag feeling iconic and was like in the mood to go to a festival or something. Everyone else wore linen shirts and chill shorts. Total startup energy. I barely knew anyone and so I didn’t even walk in. Saw the crowd from a distance, realized I looked like a cringe music video extra, panicked and left. Now I regret it, because it could’ve been a great chance to meet new people. Wish I’d stayed and owned it, but I kind of panicked and left. What makes it worse is that the person who invited me is actually kinda cute. Super Great. Now I’m the “unfriendly girl who ghosted the barbecue.”

TL;DR: Misread the vibe, dressed completely wrong in a full Coachella-like outfit, bailed before even saying hi, and now I feel dumb.

So I (23F) recently started seeing a new therapist and we’ve been doing this exercise where I text her how I’m feeling in the moment, unfiltered, instead of bottling it up. I save her number as “Dr. C” in my phone.

My boyfriend’s name? Christian.

Take a wild guess what happened next.

I had just gotten out of a rough meeting at work, was PMS-ing, and had a complete breakdown in the parking lot. I sent a long, ugly message that said:

“I feel like nobody really likes me, they just tolerate me. Even Christian. I love him but sometimes I think he’s still with me because it’s easier than breaking up. I feel broken and small and exhausting to love.”

I hit send. Realized two seconds later: wrong Christian. Yeah, I texted my boyfriend that I think he’s only with me out of convenience. He called. I ignored it. He showed up at my apartment an hour later and just said, “We need to talk.”

I cried. He cried. He said it hurt, but he was glad I told him the truth.

We’re okay now. But holy shit, that was the worst 45 minutes of my life.

TL;DR: Texted my boyfriend a depressing, vulnerable message meant for my therapist. Accidentally trauma-dumped on him. Almost lost him in the process.

This happened sometime late in 2024.

My kitty doesn’t like it when I’m in meetings. He figures I’m sitting down so I’m not doing anything therefore it’s time to play.

So whenever the earbuds go in and there’s a face on the monitor that’s his cue to start yowling at me and attacking my feet. (Claws are always sheathed)

Here’s the thing though: when I indulge him and start playing we follow a rule: if he successfully attacks me I have to howl - just to show him he’s the victor and that his hunting skills are top notch.

Got the idea from watching a lioness fake a death roar when her cub “attacked and killed her” while in stealth mode. So I started doing the same.

So one day we were all in a meeting. The host was droning on and on about something - I have no idea what it was. But I wasn’t due to speak and the topic looked like it was going to take a while. The little furry brute began to yowl so I thought it was probably a good time to rough house with him - get all that play energy out of his system.

So I chased him out of the room and then stared at him till he decided to chase me back. I ran back to the living room and he leapt at my leg, grabbing it with both paws and giving a small love bite.

I did my thing and howled in “pain.”

The Teams droning stopped. Someone giggled. I think I muttered something about “kitty attacked me” or something. Totally forgot to go on mute before the playing started.

(Since I don’t have a video of this kind of play I’ll instead provide a link in the comments to a video of the little guy and I bonding. )

TL;dr: Forgot to mute my mic when playing with the cat. Hijinks ensue

I’ve been lifting for around 5 years now. I went from 93kg down to 73kg at my leanest, and I wouldn’t say I know about weight training more than everyone but I’ve always tried to stay updated with proper lifting techniques and nutrition.

But last year, I started a super demanding job that took all my time and focus. I was only lifting twice a week, didn’t do any cardio, drank a lot, ate whatever I wanted — and now I’m back up to 88kg and probably lost about 30% of my strength (but I don’t look as fat as 5 years ago that’s magic of weight training)

This year though, things settle down, so now I’ve got more time. I just joined a new gym and I’m lifting almost every day again. If you lift, you know modern strength training focuses a lot on range of motion and training muscles at a stretched position. So I’ve been doing that — slow negatives, not too heavy, full ROM.

There’s this older dude at the gym, probably around 45, lean and strong for his size. I guess I look like a big chubby guy trying to lose weight, so maybe he assumed I was new. While I was lifting, he came over and told me not to stretch the muscles too much or I’d get injured, because I was “just starting out.” 🫠

My brain just froze. I wanted to say I was training based on science, but didn’t think he’d get it. And I didn’t want to come off like some cocky kid who won’t listen to elders. So I nodded, said thanks, and finished the set doing half-reps. He gave me a thumbs up like “good job, you’ll get better soon” and I was dying inside.

I’m not even that weak anymore, just out of shape. I ended up waiting for him to leave and then came back to redo everything with full ROM. I think I need to switch gyms.

TL;DR: TIFU by not telling the experienced dude at the gym that I’m not completely new and was doing full range of motion on purpose. Now I’m sneaking in proper form behind his back.

Edit: i’m not really going to switch gym i just said it as a joke

This happened yesterday and I'm still mortified. There's this girl at work Emma who's always been really nice to me, bringing me coffee sometimes and asking about my weekend plans. I'm not great at reading social cues but I thought maybe she was interested.

Yesterday she asked if I wanted to grab drinks after work and I got excited thinking it was finally happening. I spent the whole day psyching myself up and even bought new cologne on my lunch break. When we got to the bar I tried to make it clear it was a date by paying for everything and making what I thought was romantic conversation.

Turns out she just wanted to talk about work stuff and get advice about a project we're both on. When I tried to hold her hand she looked confused and asked what I was doing. I had to explain that I thought this was a date and she got this horrified look on her face.

She quickly clarified that she has a boyfriend and was just being friendly. I felt like such an idiot and apologized like ten times. The worst part is she said she talks about her boyfriend all the time at work but I honestly never noticed because I was too busy thinking she liked me.

Now work is super awkward and I don't know how to act normal around her. I keep replaying all our interactions and realizing how wrong I was about everything. I feel so embarrassed and stupid

TL;DR I assumed my coworker was hitting on me and it turned out I was just stupid for thinking that and she has a boyfriend

TL;DR at the bottom.

I thought I was the smart one for not falling for a bank scam. Turns out my money still got taken anyways.

About an hour ago, I got a call while I was on the toilet from what appeared to be my bank from an unverified, unrecognized number. I say unrecognized as I got a call from my bank not too long ago and it was a different number. I had seen that there have been bank fraud calls going around and I thought I was the "victim" of one. I answer the phone, and a lady instantly starts saying how she got off the phone with my mother and that there's suspected fraud on my account pertaining to some crypto website.

Instantly, I noticed something was wrong; normally when my bank calls, they identify that they're speaking with me by asking security questions, and THEN go on to explain the issue. So this threw me for a loop and I instantly assumed it was a scam. So, regrettably, I started going off on her. I started demanding her to provide details about myself and my mom if she really does have my account pulled up. She says one moment and stammers, leading me to believe she didn't even have my account pulled up initially and struggled to find my name, which set off another alarm internally. At this point, I recognized it as a scam. I check my account, and low and behold, no money has been moved. Thus, I promptly called her an asshole and to fuck off and I hung up.

My mom texts me about five minutes later asking why did I hang up on that lady, and that there was suspected fraud on my account. This threw me for a loop, and I explained that I thought it was a scam call and outlined the reasons above. I then check my banking app and that's when I see ALL of my money has been transferred to a random account.

My heart sank. I profusely apologized to my mother and then called my bank back and explained the situation. After about thirty minutes, the bank filed a dispute and is now working on getting my funds back. The kicker here is that I have bills due in three days. And they said the earliest I would either get my funds or some sort of credit would be ten business days. I don't get paid until the 11th. I'm already a broke college student. I barely have enough food to last ten days, and maybe enough gas to get me to and from work.

I'm fucked. All because I assumed I was being scammed. I feel like such an idiot and an asshole.

TL;DR I hung up on my banks fraud prevention like an asshole thinking it was a scam. This led to the fraud being approved and all of my money being stolen.

I (38 F) went away for the weekend with my husband (38M), his brother and sister in law. We had been out together and my husband and I came home first.

We were just getting a few things sorted for dinner and I was in a playful mood. I got to teasing my husband a little bit. Flashing him. Telling him about something I thought about a woman we'd met earlier in the day. Just fun and playful. No harm done!

Unfortunately, we hadn't heard his brother and his brother's wife coming in and so they suddenly appeared in the door offering help with my husband pitching a pretty obvious tent. We tried to act normal and my husband shuffled over to behind the island pretty quick but I could see him going red. I don't know if either of them noticed. My SIL slightly stuttered but that could be me overthinking.

I was relieved it wasn't at a worse time! But my husband was pretty embarrassed.

TL;DR: I gave my husband a boner in his trousers just before his brother and sister in law walked in.

I went out with a couple friends this Saturday and I had a few drinks so I wasn’t planning on driving home. One of them who seemed totally sober offered to drive and I agreed.

He wasn't drunk btw, he's just shit at driving, but I thought since the distance isn't far (literally 3 miles and the road is fully straight) nothing would happen. Well me and my 2 friends (3 in total) got in the car and he literally hit the car behind us when reversing out of the parking. At the beginning I freaked the fuck out, but then I went out and saw that the damage wasn't a lot, but just enough to leave a dent. He was extremely sorry and he offered to pay, but I said I'll cover it. We’re still all cool, but man lesson learned the hard way lol

TL;DR: gave my friend my car to drive and he crashed it

As embarrassing as the situation is for me it’s also pretty funny so I thought you all might enjoy laughing at my dumb arse.

TIFU by getting completely nude in front of a group of men. I move around a lot for work and have been staying at a new place this week, it’s great for hiking and there’s a waterfall practically on my doorstep. So everyday this week I have gone for a hike in the mountains followed by a wild swim to cool down. I have not seen a single person on my outings since I came here.

Today I went for a longer hike than usual so was pretty tired by the time I got to my usual swimming spot. I ate my sandwich and sat resting in the sun for about an hour before going for a dip to cool down. I then sunbathed for another 30ish minutes to dry off. All in all I’d been living my best mermaid life for about 3 hours and had still seen no one.

Usually when I change out of my wet swimming gear I do the usual awkward dance under the towel to preserve modesty should anyone stumble across me. Well not today. Today I was confident that I was clearly the only person ever to have found my perfect swimming hole so decided to ditch the towel and go full commando, tits out, bum out, freedom for all while I change.

I was enjoying feeling the sun on my pasty white behind when out of the corner of my eye I saw something blue and orange moving through the trees above me.

A group of 5-7 men in full wetsuits, life jackets and crash helmets were walking through along the top of the ridge directly above me. They were all shuffling along at an awkward angle with their backs half towards me as I grabbed my towel and tried to shove dry clothes over a still damp body - this was not an easy thing to accomplish while balancing on a rock.

It was clear they had seen me and were trying to preserve what little modesty I had left by walking along with their backs to me.

I got dressed, packed up my gear and they went on by to a spot further down to start cliff jumping. I thought this would be the end of our embarrassing interaction but I was wrong.

Turns out one of the men lives a few doors down from me and was coming back from the excursion as I was in my front garden. I didn’t recognise him as they were too far away from me and I was more focused on my state of affairs than I was on their faces but he recognised me and came over to say hi.

He asked if it was me at the falls today and I say it was whilst turning bright red. He said he thought he recognised me as he had seen me going back and forth this week but hadn’t had a chance to introduce himself. He also said none of them saw anything as they all turned away when they realised I was there - I don’t believe him for a second but appreciated the lie. It turns out he works for an outdoor adventure club and takes tourists to different outdoor activity places including the local waterfall to swim and cliff jump.

TL;DR: TIFU by getting naked whilst changing out of my wet swim gear in front of a group of tourists who definitely all saw my butt and probably some boob. Also one of them is my new neighbour.

So I (28M) work from home. I use wireless earbuds to take calls because I hate sitting still. I like to pace around while talking, clean the kitchen, or chase my cat out of forbidden zones.

Yesterday we had a big Teams call. Cameras off. One of those "Quarterly Strategy Syncs" that basically translates to a 40-minute word salad from upper management and 10 minutes of questions no one wants to ask.

I had my earbuds in. I thought I was muted.

Mid-call, I start cleaning. Talking to my cat. “What the hell are you doing, Gremlin? No, you can’t eat plastic. You tiny moron.” Then I fart. Loud. Like cartoon-sound-effect loud. I chuckle and go, “Jesus, that was bold of me.”

That’s when I hear my manager, mid-sentence, pause. Then another colleague goes, “Uhh… is someone not muted?”

I look down at my screen. Nope. I was the audio host. Everyone heard everything. I died. Instant respawn. Left the call. Took a fake bathroom break.

Later, my boss messages me: “Great energy today.”

Kill me.

TL;DR: Forgot I was the host of a Teams meeting, paced around farting and roasting my cat. Everyone heard. I will never be safe again.

Obligatory the actual fuck up didn't happen today, but I've just realized it now.

A year or so ago I was chatting with this girl off the apps, things were going well and had been constantly talking after an amazing first date. Unfortunately both our schedules got busy and things sort of fizzled out.

Was randomly thinking about her and was looking back through our convo, mostly memes, a few pics back and forth, etc. Except there was one day she was telling me about visiting her friend who had a new dog and how cute it was and sends me a video with the puppy in her lap.

At the time I was like wow cute puppy (which in my defense it was) and completely and utterly failed to notice that she had very purposefully and obviously zoomed past the dog in her lap to share a pretty incredible close up up skirt. There is no way it wasn't on purpose and I have no fucking clue how I missed it until I just rewatched a year later.

Anyway ladies this is your daily reminder that if a man misses your signal, he's probably just fucking stupid.

TL;DR: Cute puppy made me miss a great kitty.

My cousin Rebecca (28F) is getting married next month and my mom (52F) expects me (24F) to go. The problem is Rebecca and I haven't talked in like 3 years after this huge fight we had about something really stupid. She blocked me on social media and everything.

The wedding is also a 6 hour drive away and I'd have to take time off work and get a hotel room. Plus I don't know anyone else going except my parents and my awkward uncle. Rebecca didn't even send me an invitation directly, my mom just told me I was expected to be there.

When I told my mom I wasn't planning to go she absolutely lost it. Started crying and saying I'm tearing the family apart and how embarrassed she'll be when people ask where I am. She keeps saying family is family and I need to be the bigger person. Now my dad is involved and he's doing that disappointed dad thing where he doesn't say much but you know he thinks you're being selfish.

But like, why should I spend money and vacation days to sit awkwardly at a wedding for someone who clearly doesn't want me there? If Rebecca wanted me there she would have reached out herself right? I feel bad that my mom is upset but I also don't think I should have to pretend everything is fine just to keep the peace.

TL;DR: Refusing to go to estranged cousin's wedding, mom is devastated and making me feel like a selfish brat

So my fiance had hernia repair surgery 4 days ago, and he's been home for a day and a half. Surgery went perfect, his pain is manageable, he's doing so amazing he doesnt need too much assistance.

We have his recliner set up in our bedroom so he doesn't have to constantly be in bed. Its an old chair and needs some servicing, when you lift the feet and lean back for a full recline occasionally the back doesn't catch and it halfway tips over. Not a big deal when you can lean up on your own.

He fell asleep in his chair last night like he often does, so I woke him to check pain levels and let him know I was running to the grocery store. I was gone almost a half an hour. He texted me while I was driving home but I don't check texts while driving.

I get back to our bedroom and he is in full turtle mode; he went to recline all the way back not long after I left, the back didn't catch, he couldn't lift himself up because his belly was split down the middle. He had tried shouting for my parents (we live with them, we're both disabled) but it was early, they weren't awake, and they both use hearing aids. He had been stuck there the entire time I was gone and was rightfully upset. I got him up easily, but by that point his pain was raging.

He's not mad at me, but I've been kicking myself all day over it.

TL;DR: I left my fiance alone, he got stuck in his tipped over recliner after surgery, and it made his pain levels spike bad. I feel like an ass, hopefully one day we can look back and laugh.

I’m 28, living with my girlfriend, let’s call her Emma, for two years. She’s great, handles my clumsiness well. I trip over rugs, lose my keys, that sort of thing. My family’s similar. Dad fell off the roof fixing shingles. Mom broke a lamp trying to swat a fly. Grew up in a small town, always the kid dropping his lunch tray in the cafeteria. Emma finds my awkward stories amusing, says they’re part of my charm. Yesterday, we had a nice day. Ate at a diner, walked by the river, had takeout on the couch. Night came, and we felt close. Our bedroom’s small, with a noisy ceiling fan and just a bit of streetlight coming through. It was very dark, hard to see anything. We were having sex, caught up in the moment. I tried to lean closer but misjudged her position. My arm swung out to balance, and my elbow hit Emma’s temple. Hard. She went still. I panicked, heart racing, reaching for the lamp. Knocked it over first, then turned it on. Emma was unconscious, eyes closed, not moving. I shook her, calling her name, voice unsteady. Ten seconds later, she blinked, dazed. “Ow,” she said, touching her head. I apologized over and over, feeling awful. “I couldn’t see you, it was too dark.” She gave a small laugh, said I knocked her out. Her temple was tender, but she was okay. I got her water, an ice pack, and kept apologizing. She teased me, told me to stop flailing. We’re getting a nightlight now.

TL;DR: Had sex in a dark room, swung my arm clumsily, and knocked my girlfriend unconscious for ten seconds with an elbow to her temple. I’m not cruel, just uncoordinated.

TL;DR:TIFU when I had the amazing idea to try gummies with my girlfriend. We were on a nice date getting some sushi and had a decent wait time at the restaurant. We went outside and I happened to notice a vape shot next door. I then had the amazing idea to pick up some gummies for the two of us. Mind you, my girlfriend has never tried weed, and she never will again after what came later.

Anyway, the guy working at the vape shop recommended a couple of options for us, a red flag I should have paid attention to, and one of the options was a big bag that said "850 mg" on it. I haven't had any gummies in years and I thought to myself, "That's not too crazy but we don't need that many". So I did some math, thinking it was 850mg for the full bag, and purchased two gummies.

We had a nice dinner, got home, and decided it was time pop these gummies in and just relax. Except we didn't... I was fine but I look over at my girlfriend and she was clearly panicking. It was at this moment that I tried to move to help her and I couldn't talk. What I didn't know is that we were both greening out... bad.

Time started feeling unstable and we were both hyperventilating. I then started hallucinating that I was drowning and when I finally "surfaced" I woke up and threw up on myself. We both then crawled out of bed and started crawling toward the bathroom. I finally forced out the words "cold" and "water" and she nodded that she understood. We got to the bathroom and I threw up again as I was undressing to get in the shower.

We both then got in the cold shower and laid on the floor. We were both in and out of consciousness for what felt like forever and I thought we were going to die. There were several moment where I'd feel my girlfriend shake me awake b/c I would just stop breathing. Eventually we started fading out of it and looked at clock, and to our surprise we had been in the shower for 11 hours! We both felt sick and just wanted to go lie down but the room was still spinning.

A little bit of rest and we're both fine but you best believe that I called the vape shop. Here comes the best part, the shop owner answered, I told her what happened, and she said, "omg those did the same thing to me!".... Suffice to say we will not be returning to this vape shop and we will not be trying gummies again any time soon.

Quick addition: To be clear I DID NOT intend to give my girlfriend an 850 mg gummy for her first time. I didn't want to take that much either. I thought the full bag was 850mg so one would be a much, much lower amount. I asked the guy if just one of these would be okay for someone's first time and he said "yes". I know now that I shouldn't have trusted it.

Out of town at a hotel for a conference, high speed Internet and mobile phone in hand, step into the dry shower at the end of a long day at work downstairs. Using the provided lube (conditioner), my work was done in short order.

I then turned on the shower to warm up and went back into the main room to put down my phone.

Here's the fuck up- we all know, or should, that the best way to clean a protein-rich, goopy substance, does not involve hot water. In fact, hot water just leaves the slippery proteins while washing away the water soluble parts.

Forgetting this, I boldly stride into the glass-walled shower only to nearly break my damn legs and neck as I slid in from one side to the other on what felt like warm ice, barely catching myself on the shower grip handles. Now my foot hurts.

TL;DR: masturbated in shower and slipped on my own hot load, nearly hurting myself very badly.

I’ll back- track a bit, I (f) started dating my bf about 9 months ago. We’ve know each other for a very long time. We’ve both had other partners before we got together. He told me he gets cold sores on his mouth from time to time. He’s only had 1 or 2 since we’ve been together. He usually takes valtrex on the regular to also help with an unrelated skin condition he has. He stopped taking this medication some time ago and hasn’t had any issues. We were last intimate a few weeks ago (unprotected). He had no signs of an outbreak at the time.

Fast forward to earlier this week. I bought a scented toilet paper, not thinking anything of it at the time. A couple of days ago, I noticed some tenderness on part of my labia majora. Then I noticed a sore. Today, I noticed multiple sores. I went to urgent care. The doctor said they are blisters and poked one with a needle to get a sample of fluid for testing. Said it looks like HSV. I have never had an issue like this before. Now I have a prescription for valtrex and have to wait a few days before results come in to know for sure.

Struggling to process, feeling humiliated and dirty. I’m worried he might think I was unfaithful because of how long it had been since he & I were last intimate together.

TL; DR: thought scented tp caused sores on my labia, turns out, might actually be HSV

TIFU by trying to brush a crumb off my co-workers face

I (25f) tried to brush a crumb off my (27m) co-workers face. I am kinda new to this job and we have to wear masks at work so I’ve never seen this co-workers full face before. Our supervisor planned a going away party for someone so all of us had to be at this restaurant to participate in the celebration. It was at one of those nice restaurants that’s kinda dim inside and they serve you fresh bread while you wait. So everyone is eating bread making crumbs and small talk and since I’m the newer person I’m just doing my best to be friendly and not a statue or on my phone. My second mistake. My first one was showing up to this on my off hours I should’ve lied and said I was sick or my car broke literally anything but no I just had to go be sociable. Anyways I start talking to a co-worker that is the alternative shift for the same thing I do and he’s pretty laidback. And I don’t know what got into me if it was the fact that my most recent social interactions have been with family and friends or how I typically have a “mom vibe” but I told this man “hey you got some crumbs on your face…” (he tries to brush them off nothing) “ it’s still there..do you want me to get it?” He’s says yes. YALL. I go to pick the big crumb off like this 🤏 but last second I decide to go for a sweeping hand motion instead. AND THANK GOD BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A CRUMB BUT A MOLE!! COULD YOU IMAGINE. I 🤏 OOPS SORRY GOT YOUR MOLE!! I THOUGHT I WAS A CRUMB BUT IT WAS YOUR MOLE AND I PULLED IT OFF. Which I definitely would have attempted if I didn’t try to brush it off last second. I would have turned to dust and blown away infinity war style. Anyway he simply goes “didja get it?” “Yup sure did.” Luckily only one other person saw this lil event unfold but I’m not sure if she knew the full extent of my fuck up. Anyways yall I went to hide in the bathroom until the food showed up. Thank goodness he’s alternate shift I can not face this guy again. I feel like he knows I thought his mole was a crumb.

TL;DR: Was at a work dinner. Thought my coworkers mole was a bread crumb and went to brush it off. Was not a crumb in fact there were no crumbs. Went to hide in bathroom till food came.

I (23F) live with two roommates and we share laundry duties. I've been trying to be more eco friendly lately so I bought these wool dryer balls instead of using dryer sheets. They're supposed to reduce drying time and make clothes softer naturally.

My roommate Chloe had a load of dark clothes in the washer so I moved them to the dryer and added my wool balls like usual. Didn't think anything of it until she comes storming out of her room asking what I did to her favorite black dress.

Turns out one of the wool balls had some white fuzz on it from previous loads. Her black dress now has these white fuzzy spots all over it that won't come off. It was this expensive dress she got for job interviews and now it's ruined. She's starting her job hunt next week and she's freaking out.

I tried everything to fix it. Lint roller, tape, even looked up YouTube videos. Nothing works. The dress is basically unwearable now. Chloe is being pretty cool about it but I know she's upset. She paid like $150 for that dress.

I offered to pay for a replacement but she says they don't make that style anymore.

TL;DR: Used wool dryer balls to be eco friendly, accidentally covered roommate's expensive interview dress with white fuzz, now she can't wear it for job hunting.

The other day I made broccoli salad. The kind with raw broccoli, cheese, bacon, etc. I used one big crown of broccoli. It filled a big Tupperware container.

On Sunday, I ate half of it for lunch. I had been outside all morning and it was so good and refreshing. “This is the perfect summer lunch,” I thought.

Yesterday I ate some more for lunch. Again, it was just so good. I ate it straight from the container, so happy that I had thought to make this delicious lunch.

Last night, I had broccoli orzo with dinner.

Today…I am fighting for my life in the bathroom. I’m so bloated, I look 6 months pregnant. Earlier, I was sure my entire digestive tract was going to burst out of my body.

I eat a pretty high fiber diet, so I didn’t even think twice about eating that much broccoli.

But now? Idk if I ever want to eat it again.

TL;DR I got overzealous with broccoli and my digestive system is getting it’s revenge.

About two weeks ago or so I was being way too crazy with my card like I was ordering so many stuff online left and right (pretty much tiktok shop only) and decided to physically set aside my rent money so I wouldn’t accidentally spend it. I put it somewhere in my apartment thinking I was being super responsible.

The problem is that I now have zero clue where I put it. I’ve literally torn apart drawers, checked coat pockets, looked under my bed, flipped couch cushions and I just cant find them. I’m freaking out like my landlord messaged me since today's the 1st and he usually gives me the opportunity to pay it anywhere between the 1st and the 5th so I pretty much have like 4 days to find them otherwise I'm fucked.

TL;DR: I put my rent money aside and now I can't find them

I work at a small marketing company and there's this guy Tom (30sM) who constantly takes credit for other people's ideas. Last week he literally presented my entire campaign concept as his own in front of our boss and I was fuming but didn't say anything in the moment.

Then yesterday in our team meeting he did it again with this project I'd been working on for weeks. Something just snapped and I interrupted him and said "Actually Tom, that was my idea from the presentation I gave you last Tuesday." The whole room went silent and our boss looked super uncomfortable.

Tom got all flustered and tried to backtrack saying we had collaborated on it but I was so angry I kept going and basically called him out for always doing this. Now everyone is acting weird around me and my manager wants to talk to me tomorrow about "professional communication."

My work friend says I should have handled it privately but honestly I'm sick of being walked over. Tom has been getting promotions while I do the actual work. But now I'm worried I looked unprofessional and maybe ruined my chances for advancement. My boyfriend thinks I finally stood up for myself but my sister says I probably just made myself look petty and vindictive.

I don't regret calling him out but maybe the way I did it was wrong? I just couldn't sit there and watch him steal my work again. Now I'm scared I'm going to get in trouble for creating drama.

TL;DR: Called out coworker for stealing my ideas in front of everyone, now worried I ruined my professional reputation

I fucked up today (technically yesterday now but within the last 24hrs) and it had a cascading effect.

I’m going back to school to complete my degree. I work full time and try to take at least 8 credits a semester. This summer there was a class I needed available, it’s online so perfect.

The class schedule is honestly pretty easy… watch a daily lecture, homework/reading/quiz that’s due every Sunday. Every 2 weeks we have an exam that’s open from Friday - Sunday at midnight.

Trouble is I’m a terrible procrastinator. Adding to this fact is that I had an operation earlier this month that I’m still recovering from it. I didn’t feel ready for the exam this morning so I spent more time studying… then I went to a dog rescue event and while we were there a freak storm hit my town and knocked out power for almost everyone. The city utilities didn’t expect to have our power back on until 11:30 so I was freaking out.

I had the brilliant idea of going to Walmart in the area of town that still had power, I was fully prepared to take this exam in the Subway.

Traffic was bad because of all of the traffic lights being unpowered. I didn’t even make it a mile from my house and I get rear ended. I honestly don’t think she braked at all she hit me so hard… which propelled me into a big truck that was stopped in front of me.

Truck has a tiny ding in his bumper, my car has damage do the front and rear… the girl who hit me had ALL her airbags go off.

The truck guy was chill, the girl was hysterical. Turns out she’s a stripper, kids were home all alone (she tried to leave but her car wouldn’t start), is uninsured and the car wasn’t registered. It didn’t even have plates on it. FML.

In an even bigger panic I emailed my professor my outlandish story hoping he’d give me some leniency…. This is now the 2nd time I’ve emailed him about possibly missing an exam (our 1st exam was the day after my surgery and I spent 9hrs in the ER).

At about 9:30 the power came back on. Now I simultaneously feel like an ass for basically guilt tripping my professor when I ended up not even needing to and having to pay to get my car fixed (and probably a premium increase)…, all because I procrastinated taking my exam…

TL;DR I have alot going on in my life right now. Procrastinated taking an exam, freak storm knocked our power, tried to drive to a public place with free WiFi to take it but got rear ended and sandwiched between 2 cars by a stripper that isn’t insured and driving an unregistered/licensed car. Bunch of damage to my car. All for nothing because the power came back on at 9:30.

At my job we have an enclosed gated area that we sell trees and other plants. We usually lock it up when the store closes for the night. We often close and lock it a few minutes before the store closes.

Today I was locking the area known as "The cage". I glanced in and could have sworn I saw no customers still inside. I then proceeded to lock the cage. However shortly after I locked the cage I was mortified to see two customers were inside and they were locked in! I also didn't have the key to unlock the cage so I got on the radio and asked for the key to the cage.

I was profusely apologizing to the customers who took it in stride. The manager on duty came a few minutes later and was able to release the customers who were still taking the incident in stride. He thought it was amusing as some of my coworkers.

Fortunately I am in no danger of being fired for this and the manager commented it is a funny story.

TL:DR Accidentally locked in customers in a gated area but the manager got them out. No danger of me being fired and customers took it in stride.
