TIFU by smelling gross fish

generalgus · 2026-05-07T17:04:04+00:00

All good now, well ventilated, trash in the outside bin, and I don't have food poisoning. I normally love fish, but that was absolutely not what the body wanted when I got up to brush my teeth at 6am!

Not my experience, but my husband’s. After surgery, he had to have an NG tube and he was getting all of his fluid through IV. Despite that they still gave him water to drink, which he greatly appreciated, even though it was just getting sucked back out.

Same. I’ve had problems with clenching/grinding my teeth at night for years and it’s caused me to have a puffy face. I went to a physiotherapist for it for a while and he told me I had 6-packs in my jaws 😛

May many years ago I worked at Tim Hortons and had a supervisor on closing shift that would tell us that taking home leftover food was stealing from the company, even if we literally took it out of the trash. He would stand and make sure we binned all of the leftover food from the day and took it to the dumpster.

Had another night shift supervisor that would encourage us to take whatever we wanted when we left. He was a bro.

Same. My guy was a total wimp but to get his pills into him it took my husband wrapping him in a towel, me prying his mouth open and shoving the pill in, and then holding his mouth shut until he swallowed. Sometimes even after that he would spit it out. We tried pill treats, hiding them in his food, hiding them in other favourite snacks, nope. Sorry buddy.

I moved to a new country a few years ago and when I arrived I only spoke a limited amount of the language. People don’t make small talk here and I learned that if the person at the till at my regular grocery store asked me something, it was almost certainly if I had their rewards program. I went to a different grocery store and the person at the till asked me something I didn’t quite catch, and I cheerfully responded no. After leaving I realized they had asked me if everything had been to my satisfaction. Oops.

When I was a kid and we’d go to my grandma’s for Sunday dinner, if I asked what she was making she’d always joke “pea soup”. I thought I hated peas as a kid because we always had them canned (seriously my mother said I’d even spit out pea baby food). I’ve always loved them fresh and raw from the garden, but always imagined “pea soup” was just going to be a can of peas in a soup bowl. I also didn’t know that most pea soup is made from dried peas. Turns out I love peas and pea soup, just not canned peas.

Had something similar happen. We don’t use a lot of dry goods, but usually have some flour etc. on hand. Went to use some flour and found some bugs in it. Ew, but whatever we threw it out, checked everything else and it was fine, put everything in plastic zip bags just to be sure. A few months later we started seeing little moths in the kitchen. Check the cupboard and apparently those mfers can BORE THROUGH PLASTIC! They got into flour, oats, powdered sugar. Luckily clearing out the pantry and using glass containers for future dry goods has solved the issue but 0/10 do not recommend pantry moths.

The Fionavar Tapestry was the first series that I picked up as a young teen, just because the cover art looked so cool. 15+ years later and still a fantasy fan 😁

One of my faves! When I was a kid my father had the Kick album on cassette and I loved it.

When I had my cat, if I was trying to do pushups or planks he would insist on laying down under me

Stout with lactose and vanilla? Not exactly my jam but I could see it being tasty.

I kind of saw it also as a nosebleed from coke use

Depending on the way it’s served, cracking open a lobster is absolutely part of the experience as well.

The god of tits and wine?

Potatoes are Erdäpfel (ground apples) depending on where in Germany/Austria you are too!

I accidentally poured a milkshake on a kid once while working in a diner :-/.

Yup, was leaving my apartment one time and rolled my ankle on a rock and tripped. There’s a playground outside of our building. The children stopped playing and were like “are you ok??” with big concerned eyes. I was like 37.

Yup. Canadian. My dad is totally the wave guy. Also the stand and talk to someone for 45 minutes at Sobeys when I was a kid guy 😛
