TIFU by assuming my Fiancé was brushing his teeth behind closed doors

So this happened last night. I (27f) live with my Fiancé(31m) and his parents. My Fiancé and I generally have a night time routine where after his Father (60m) finishes showering, my fiancé and I would then head up to the bathroom to brush our teeth together, and after I finish up I'd go to bed while he uses the throne. Sometimes my Fiancé would head up before me while I finish up with whatever I would be doing quick and head up, he generally isn't done brushing his teeth by the time I make it upstairs.

So, cue last night my fiancé disappears while I am doing some stuff and I assume he headed upstairs. Well, he did. I noticed the light was on in our room and didn't think much of it because I assumed he just turned it on for our pigeon to find his way into his bedtime-cage, since he follows either of us to bed.

The door to the bathroom was closed but the light was on so I thought my fiance was brushing his teeth! So I swung the door open and low-and behold his father was just finishing drying off from showering.

I saw.. everything. Borders that should have never been crossed have been crossed. Our eyes met, but the field of vision was too much. I yelled "OHH MY GOD IM SO SORRY" and shut the door and bolted into my bedroom where my wonderful, ROUTINE BREAKING Fiancé lay in the bed, comfortably. Teeth brushed. Ass empty. Looking at me with a face full of pity yet also laughing at the situation.. I practically lept into the bed, and laid there. Face down. Trying to erase the image of what I had just saw. Everytime I closed my eyes, the image flashes me. It haunts me. David Bowie's bulge in the Labyrinth is considered a blessing to me, now.

For what it's worth, at least the in-laws find the humour in the situation, which makes me feel less horrified. But still, I think I'm just going to avoid my FIL for the next day or so, lol. Apologies for any typos, my brain is still quite fried.

TL;DR barged in the bathroom where I thought my fiance was in and instead saw my father-in-law in his birthday suit.

TIFU by peeing while on facetime

I (15M) am currently talking to a girl from my school (15F) to get to know her. We met a few weeks ago and I think things were going well until today.

Earlier we were on a facetime call which we normally do every evening for the last week or so. Everything was fine and we had been on call for a couple hours when I had to pee. She was in the middle of telling me a story and I didn’t want to interrupt her and seem rude, but I also really wanted to pee. So I decided to just go and just keep holding the camera on my face so she wouldnt know and it wouldnt be weird. I tell her im changing rooms to get more privacy and get to the bathroom. She continues her story while I drop my pants all while holding the camera at the same angle on my face. I mute so she cant hear my stream, temporarily stopping my stream and unmuting whenever I have to respond. Everything was going as planned without her knowing until I finished. I tried to do the thing that guys do and give it a shake to get the pee drops out, but I guess I was shaking enough that the camera was also shaking. She notices and asks me if im jerking off and calls me disgusting. I tell her im not and confess that I was just peeing which she doesnt believe, so in my panic I decided the best way to prove it to her was to flip the camera round and show her the toilet full of pee. She asks whats wrong with me and calls me a freak and hangs up. I tried calling her a few minutes later but she declined it. This is probably the end and I doubt shes gonna still want to talk to me after that. It sucks cause I really liked her but im too stupid and ruined it.

TLDR: facetimed a girl I was talking to, tried to secretly pee and she thought I was jerking off

Hugz

TIFU offering free hugs to college students

It's come to my attention that depression in college students is at an all time high in my country. As a college student myself, I can relate. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do something to support students who were potentially suffering from depression. I made a sign that said "free hugs." Not the most original or groundbreaking plan to defeat depression, I know, but I figured there would at least be one or two people at my college who would appreciate a hug from a huggable stranger. No one on campus hugged me. No one other than my classmates, which didn't really count in my book because hugs between classmates happened all the time.

One of my classmates eventually asked me to create another free hugs sign so that the two of us could team up. His offer was prompted out of pity after he realized that I've been huglessly walking around campus with my free hugs sign for several days. As soon as my classmate was with me with his own free hugs sign, everything changed. One by one, random huggers gravitated towards my classmate from every corner of the campus. I was practically invisible next to my classmate. Both of us had the same sign and more or less the same huggable energy, but he was showered with affection while I was ignored. Even when two huggers approached us at the same time, the other hugger would rather wait until the first hugger was done with my classmate, instead of, you know, hugging me!

I knew what was happening though. My classmate was an attractive guy with permanently sad eyes. I've always been aware of my below average looks, but I've never been in a situation that made it so painfully obvious. Not gonna lie, it was an embarrassing experience and it made me feel ugly and unwanted, which is not how anyone wants to feel, especially someone who wanted to make others feel good about themselves. It's been more or less 2 weeks since all of the above happened and I'm no longer offering free hugs to potentially depressed college students because it almost made me depressed. My classmate, on the other hand, managed to get more than free hugs from a few horny huggers, but he followed my lead and quit too because one of the horny huggers might have given him an STD.

TL:DR Made a free hugs sign to encourage potentially depressed students at my college to feel free to hug me. Depression in college students is on the rise in my country and I thought a random act of kindness might help in some way, albeit a small act. No one hugged me. However, everyone flocked to hug my attractive classmate when he decided to team up with me out of pity. My attempt to alleviate depression ended up making me feel ugly and unwanted, and dare I say, almost depressed myself. The irony.

TIFU by accidentally giving a vegetarian kid meat

*this was actually a few days ago and only managed to post now.

So I work at a restaurant and have been there for about 2 months. At this point I’m mostly comfortable with everything there and haven’t made any major mistakes like this one since my first week really and that had nothing to with food/customers. So on this day I was just a food runner and wasn’t put on any section which was fine. Various dishes for different tables are sent through at the same time and I grab them and make a mental note of the tables. One thing I’m always sure to do is say the name of the dish before setting it down, and once a table confirms it I set it down. So I get to a table with a family of 4, I set all other dishes down everything is good and the last dish to be set are meat croquettes which I repeated twice and they had confirmed.

10 minutes pass and they then tell me that they didn’t order these croquettes and rather the veggie version which were for the kid who is vegetarian (which I didn’t know btw as usually there has to be note on the food order saying which dishes are for vegetarians) this is when I realised I messed up the table numbers and had just given a vegetarian kid meat. Obviously I was mortified and apologised immediately, and went to rectify the situation. I told the managers my mistake and obviously was reprimanded which I expected and less than 10 minutes later I was sent home. Obviously this is a huge mistake which I take full responsibility for. Now I just feel like I’m either going to be put on a microscope or be fired soon because of this since I’m still on probation.

Even though I might be fired which would suck I feel so much worse and like absolute sh*t for accidentally giving a kid meat.

TL;DR *edit work in hospitality and gave a veggie kid some meat by accident. Got told off by manager and sent home early now I fear I may be fired.

TIFU by accidentally getting high at work (I don't smoke weed)

I got a summer gig at a music venue (that holds 28,000 people) as a bartender, I didn't need the job, but I thought it'd be cool to watch the shows for free. The day this happened, it was only my 3rd day working after already calling off one shift because i was out of town, and my flight got delayed by a day.

I worked in the VIP area, but my section was overstaffed. So they transferred me to a different section as a server. Everything was going well, if anything, a little uneventful. I was chatting up a table, and they offered me some candy that they brought in ziploc bags. Now, it was a snoop dog & wiz khalifa concert, so I feel like I should've asked if it was regular candy, but at the time, it never even crossed my mind. Thank God I'm not a big fan of sweets, cause I only took one.

I have smoked weed before a couple of times in college, but it's been a couple of years since I did. It was always from a vapes, & always in the safety of my room (never in public)

30 min later, I start feeling lightheaded, but figured I would just keep working, I take a tables order, 10 min later, I realize I didn't actually put in anything they've asked me for. But their payment already went through, and that's gonna be a 120$ mistake, and I have no way of refunding that order. I start freaking out and at that moment I knew, I fucked up big time, cause I was the highest I've ever been. I tried to start another order with the correct items and pay for it with my phone, something i definitely wouldn't do sober. but the "tap to pay" wasn't working, and I didn't have my wallet. Every other table I have is waiting for service, and I don't know what to do. I'm looking around to see if I see a manager around, but the idea of explaining the situation is freaking me out even more. So I closed all the tabs that I had and gave myself 0$ for the tip. And I just walked away, I simply took off. I walked across the entire venue, passing all kinds of supervisors and employees on the way. My heart was beating so fast. It felt like I was on a heist movie or something. ( A lot more happened between the moment i took the candy to the moment i left the venue, but it's so hazy that i can barely remember. ) I make it out of the venue and start walking towards my car, freaking out even more, thinking I'll never be able to find it in the giant parking lot. After 15 min of walking, I find it, but I know I can't drive, so I put my seat back and close my eyes. It was around 5 pm. I wake up at around 9 pm and drive myself home. I'm too embarrassed to even contact the supervisors and explain what happened im not even gonna collect my check, I will just pretend this never happened and move on.

TL,DR: Accidentally ate an edible (for the first time ever) at work, made a ton of mistakes that cost guests/venue over 100$ and walked away w/o saying anything.

TIFU by leaving early

Yesterday, After I fainted and hit my head, I got an ambulance ride to the hospital. They checked me thoroughly and kept me in the emergency room for a few hours, so they could be sure, everything was fine. My heart rate was a bit fast, but otherwise nothing that worried them. When a doctor spoke with me, she let me choose to go home (not recommend) or stay for the night and leave the next morning.

Well.. as you can guess from the title, I left. Who in their right mind would want to stay?

That's where everything went downhill. When I left I got some food, because I haven't eaten the whole day and it was 5pm at that time. You don't want to be hungry on a 4 hour train ride, I still had to do. While eating I got a buzz in my head as if I was hungover. Slowly the right side my face went numb. My vision got blurry and everything around me seemed like it was slow motion.

Next thing I know is waking up in that same damn er (out of 5 how high are the chances?). It was nearly 6 hours after I left, but the same doctor as before looked at me and said "congratulations, now you HAVE to stay." So what happened? While eating, my epilepsy kicked in and I got a seizure, and another one, and another.... they said till ambulance arrived and stopped it with meds I had like 4 or 5 of them.

Now I'm sitting here. A day after I originally left the hospital. Still in bed at a stroke unit and debating with my doctor if I can leave or not. They say it's fine, as long as I sign something that states they are not responsible for anything that happens when I leave against medical advice.

So reddit: I guess I'll be stupidly stubborn and leave. I really don't like hospitals and there are 3 other people in my room, everyone's hooked up to a monitor, it's getting on my nerves

TL;DR: yesterday I went home instead of staying in the hospital for a night and got some seizures (known epilepsy), so now I have to stay at least 2 days. I want to leave again
