Welcome to TIFU.

This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet!

Da Rules:

  1. Use proper formatting

A. All titles must start with TIFU.

B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry.

C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn't Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.)

  1. Posts must be about you.

  2. Must be your fault.

  3. A few things that aren't allowed.

A. No Rape​/​minors/​bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes.

B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal.

  1. Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don't go anywhere. Eg "TIFU by sexy sex". Moderator discretion.

  2. Be civil and don't be disruptive No racism/​bigotry/​homophobia/​transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort "this didn't happen" type comments.

  3. No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of "upvote this comment if you want me to do this." These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don't self promote.

  4. Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this community.

Technically this happened yesterday, but I'm still pretty mad at myself.

I've been riding my ebike pretty frequently to and from work. It's a short trip and basically the same amount of time as a car would take, so it just makes sense. My bike also has a cupholder, and I've been placing my keys in there to avoid being stabbed by them.

Yesterday, I had the brilliant idea of putting my headphones in there. I was trying to reduce clutter in my pockets and make it easier to peddle. Well, I hit a few bumps that were a little larger than usual, and with the traffic and trying to keep my head on a swivel I didn't notice my headphones bounce out of the cupholder.

I made it all the way home only to discover my massive error. Rip the $200 to replace those...

Honestly losing the headphones is totally awful, but I'm ngl, when you said you put your keys in there I thought you were in for way more trouble than some lost headphones. Haha

oh shoot. did you lose them entirely, or did they just hit the floor and break, dangling along behind you by the wire?

Probably wireless so they're just gone

[–] orionstein 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeh. Sounds like it was just the little buds and they just yeeted out of there

[–] Finnagain 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, exactly. Tis a sad day.

[–] frippz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sucks! Time to get one of those handy baskets you put on the handle bars, maybe? 😬

[–] Finnagain 3 points 1 year ago

I wish. Alas, they were wireless with one of those case things. Lost to the aether, unfortunately.

A backpack is the best thing ever. I put headphones, laptop, food, hoodie in there when going to work and it is so easy to carry around. Even moreso when biking.

[–] Finnagain 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I know. That's the best part: I was wearing one. 🙃

This is why I'm a cargo shorts guy.

Stylish? No.

Secure? Most definitely.
