I'm on mobile so sorry for the formatting. TL;DR at the bottom.

This happened yesterday but I guess the FU technically spans approximately 5 years.

I finished my master's degree in late 2019, or at least I thought I did. After a grueling year of working part-time and writing my dissertation, at long last I got it finished, presented it in November, got my grade immediately after, my dad was even there to watch the presentation, good times. Because the holidays were right around the corner I didn't have my diploma until February 2020 and, well... I think we all know what happened to the world right after.

When I got home after getting the diploma, I scanned it so I would

I was traveling for work, going to a 4 day conference. I have a history of forgetting things so I made a list: professional clothes, check, toiletries, check, meds and pajamas and undergarments, check check check. I also had my laptop and my wallet in a shoulder bag. I drive myself to the airport, park in the long-term garage, open the trunk to get my suitcase and ... I had forgotten the entire, impeccably packed suitcase.

No time to go home and get it and still make my flight, and I had my ID and conference paper so I just got on the plane and went with it. Once I got to my destination, which was on a university campus with no obvious access to shopping, I went to the campus merc

For context, I teach upper elementary students in a school where I am the only adult in the classroom.

When my students are working on independent work, I always have a timer on the board. The timer that I have chosen to use throughout the entirety of this year has been a little cartoon bomb with a really long string attached to it that slowly burns throughout the video. Throughout the entire year, this is never been a problem.

I always put the timer into one of my Google Slides, and I always have the Google Slides tab muted on my computer. That is, until today. I played a video that was embedded in Google Slides and had to unmute my tab (this was a differe

So, I’m practically blind without my glasses. Can’t see a damn thing within 4 feet without them. I can make out big things, like buildings or cars, or people. But the details? People look like they’re just mass of colors and blobs.

Well, today I decided to go swimming, and my partner wasn’t home so I texted him to let him know where I’d be because our complex has a community pool and I didn’t want him to be confused. As I’m swimming I think I hear my boyfriend calling my name and I pop my head up to look out the gate and I see who I think is my boyfriend. From my blurry eyes I’m seeing gold hair, grey maintenance outfit and what I think is his pack for work.

Me: “Oh hey babe! Glad yo

So I’ve been trying to be more confident and socially outgoing this year. One piece of advice I saw online was to set behavioral reminders, like little nudges to keep you mindful of your goals. Sounds smart, right?

So I open google calendar and set a recurring weekly reminder every Thursday at 3PM that just says:

“Flirt more. Eye contact. You’re charming, dammit.”

I thought it was private. I didn’t realize I still had “default guests” turned on from a past team project—so it automatically invited three of my coworkers, including my manager.

Did I notice right away? Of course not. I found out when one of them hit me with a crying laughing emoji and

So we go to trivia every Tuesday at a local bar. One of the questions was about the reason for why Oklahoma has that panhandle stretch of land on the west. Friend was like, "I actually just read this, it's because of a slavery issue..." So we put that answer down and gave it our highest confidence amount for the round. So when the MC was going over the answers, he read that one and by the groans it seemed like no one in the bar had gotten it. But we did so I was all proud of us for the right answer and so as as soon as he finished the sentence, "So it was essentially because of slavery which some did not want and others did" I burst out with a 'Wooooohoooooo"

So last December I(18m) manned up and bought antidepressants myself! Good on me I got the few months prescription after my dad spent time saying and convincing me it was a bad idea!

4 almost 5 days ago I ran out of my current prescription. And for some god damn reason I agreed to try going without them at my DAD'S request.

Stupid ass decision? Absolutely.

Am I suffering the consequences just 4 days cold turkey? Yes yes I am.

I have had chills twice, the reawakening of my dissociative episodes, my chronic pain being twice as bad to the point I am reaching points of needing my cane more actively. Sleeping is difficult cause you guessed it! The symptoms are back with a v

I always feed my kids first, no matter how starving I am. Doesn’t matter if I’ve been running around all day, skipping meals, dealing with a teething baby and a toddler meltdown, I’ll stand there and make sure their plates are full before I even think about mine. But yesterday pushed me over the edge. I made dinner, gave them their food, and sat down to eat after they were already halfway done. Within five minutes, they were fighting over who got the bigger piece of chicken and somehow spilled juice all over my plate. Just fully soaked it. Like, I blinked and it was a mess.

I got up to clean it, came back, and my oldest was literally eating off my plate because “y

This actually happened yesterday but I'm still feeling it. More embarrassing that damaging but it's still physically painful and cost a pretty penny as well.

I work in a light store as a cleaner. They sell light fixtures and a few mirrors. Maybe a few other things as well. The entire store has lights hanging from the ceiling. Most are high enough up they don't bother me as long as I pay attention to the mop and broom stick while cleaning. They have a few that hang low though.

For context I'm 5'7". So yesterday I was cleaning as usuall and noticed while pulling trash that they had a new chandelier in one corner of the section I was meant to clean that day. Not a b

This happened a couple of days ago. For my birthday, my wife took me to London from the US. We were eating at an Italian restaurant in Kensington (with the most amazing focaccia bread I’ve ever had) and just as my food came, she pointed out that the handle of the fork curved in a weird way (like a side profile would make the whole thing look like an S).

I hadn’t yet picked up my fork. After she pointed that out, when I picked up the fork, my brain treated it like I had never touched a fork in my life. Every position I tried to hold it in felt weird and unfamiliar. When I tried to put the fork in the pasta and spin up a forkful, the angles of the fork’s handle turning in my hand w

Throwaway account even though it'll be so obvious to the two other people in this story that it's about them if it's found.

I (29M) was out shopping with my fiancé (27F) and while we were lining up to get a coffee, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see the girl I was head over heels for in high school (29F).

Just for a bit of background, I never dated this person, but everyone in our friendship circle (including her) were very aware of my feelings towards her, which is now quite embarrassing to look back on, because I wasn't aware how obvious it was to EVERYONE at the time. I did ask her out a date on one occasion, but she politely declined, and

I’ve always thought having people over would be chill, just a few drinks, some music, nothing crazy. I invited a few of my friends from work and told them they could bring a couple plus-ones. It snowballed hard. One girl brought her “cousin” who turned out to be her situation-ship, and that dude brought like three of his boys who definitely weren’t invited. My kitchen turned into a BYOB jungle, and my living room turned into a full-on rave. I was literally hiding my cat in the bathroom because some guy tried to feed her tequila. Not joking.

Then, my upstairs neighbor, who’s basically one warning away from calling the cops over footsteps, came down, banged on the door, and sta

For the first time in a long while, I’ve been doing okay financially. Nothing massive happened, but I finally caught up on a few things - bills, rent, groceries without budgeting down to the cent - and I had enough saved to justify taking a proper break. So I decided to use a chunk of my unused PTO and plan a few days off just to decompress and maybe take a quick solo trip out of state.

I put in the request with a two-week notice, not thinking it would be a big deal. I’ve barely taken any time off this year, and I worded it casually in my email: “Hey, things are finally stable enough for me to take a few days. Hoping to recharge a bit and come back fre

So my girlfriend’s birthday was coming up, and I wanted to do something special. I planned a surprise party with a few of her close friends, rented out a cool little rooftop space, catered tacos (her favorite), and even got custom cupcakes with her face on them.

The whole thing was supposed to be a secret. That was the point.

Now, I’m juggling a group chat with her friends, coordinating timing, decorations, and that one friend who always runs late. At the same time, I’m texting my girlfriend like everything is normal: “What movie do you want to watch tonight?” “No, nothing special planned this weekend!”

Except… I accidentally sent the wrong message to h

My husband turned 32 this weekend and I (F28) arranged a small family birthday party for him at his parents’ house, as we were visiting them over Easter. As a present from his brother he got two pieces of specially marinated steaks, sourced from a local seller with a secret sauce. He didn’t really get any other presents except for a chocolate bunny from his older sister and a small gift from me. When we were packing our things to travel home this morning, I was tasked to pack refrigerated things into the cooler, preparing for our 6 hour drive home accross the country. I was asked then if I remembered to pack the steaks (I am currently being assessed for adhd and am very

About 2-3 weeks ago a toilet in my office started to leak from under the caulk seal. Just regular clear water around the bottom of the toilet.

Maintenance came out 2 weeks ago and put in a new (now non elongated) toilet. Once we used it we realized that the toilet was barely adhered to the floor. You could shift the damn thing with 1 hand. I reached back out to our landlords for a fix. They came back out last week, thought they couldn't get it to adhere correctly due to a flange being in the way.

My guess is when they put it in initially they knew it wouldn't fit correctly due to it being much smaller than the original and they hoped we wouldn't notice. In the end, they realized they

So this happened a couple days ago but I’m still feeling the consequences. On mobile so sorry if there’s any formatting issues.

So I was getting ready for a day out with my friends and my boyfriend. We very recently started dating and I was going to head back to his place afterwards to play some video games so I wanted to look good. I generally dress a little goth so the outfit I decided on was a cute mesh top with a corset underneath, miniskirt, fishnets and chrome heeled boots with pentacle pendants on the side. I had my favourite dragon necklace and worked hard to make my makeup perfect with just a touch of glitter by my eyes just to make the outfit pop. Now for fuckup number one, though I

So I forgot the age old lesson "kids repeat everything you say"

I (m28) have 3 kids (7,4,2) while making dinner was just laughing and joking with them about anything that could pop up in my head. I decided to play the long con, stopped everything I was doing and looked at my 4 year old and started to panic. I picked her up looking at her up and down .

Me: "oh my god it finally happened, how are we going to fix it. "

4yo: "what! whats going on dad"

Me: "you got a crack in your butt"

4yo: (immediately breaks into tears)

My cats love watching bubbles swirl around in the air, so every evening as a wind-down from their regular playtime, I take a bubble gun and go nuts with it.

We were almost out of bubble soap so my wife bought a refill bottle recently. I went to refill the gun and found that the refill bottle came with its own bubble wand, and it had a bunch of different sized holes on it. One of them was pretty big so I was curious, and blew into it and the bubbles were MASSIVE. The cats were absolutely delighted and started following the huge bubbles around the apartment.

I set the bottle down to drink water, then started blowing bubbles again. My wife came home a few minutes la

So, I go out this morning to throw away trash and go to physical therapy appointment. I see a guy in the parking lot walk past me. I get to my car and I hear someone say excuse me and it was him. He asked if I had a plastic bag and I was about to say no but figured it was a neighbor and he didn’t look homeless or anything, so I gave him an extra trash bag I had in the car.

After PT I got back and saw the property manager and a police offer talking. I didn’t think nothing of it and went to my apt. I got a call from the property manager about an hour later asking if I knew him and I’m like no, that the guy asked if I had a plastic bag and I gave him one. He told me he
