TIFU It wasn’t actually today, it was about 25 years ago from today. I was doing the regular morning routine when I nicked myself shaving, it was bad enough where it was bleeding pretty good so I ripped off a bit of toilet paper and went about finishing up getting ready for work. At work, it was a run of the mill day, I probably talked to roughly two dozen people, then lunch rolls around. I head into the bathroom and as I’m washing my hands, I look in the mirror and there it is, mocking me, a sizable piece of toilet paper stuck to my face with a dot of blood. You’d think that at some point, someone that I was talking to would have said “You have something on your face.” Nope.
TL;DR Nicked myself shaving, stuck some toilet paper to my face and forgot about it. Walked around all morning talking to people with said toilet paper still attached.

Could have been far worse! I was walking to class on my college campus once and saw a dude with a long streamer of TP coming up and out the back of his pants. I tried calling out to him and ran to catch up so I could alert him (I’d want someone to tell me!), but I failed. I feel bad for him years later!
Reminds me when I was on vacation as a teen. Got a wicked bloody nose for like the third day in a row. So I said fuck it and laid on the sidewalk in this very tourist filled town with people driving by on golf karts (out front of my buddies grandmas basically condemned house). Gasping cause there was this kid dead still laying with an ever growing pool of blood around his head.
Eventually my buddy’s mom came outside and chewed me up something fierce while i had blood all over half of my face. She made me get the hose and rinse the walkway. Of course I did that first while facing the non- bloody side of my face to people driving by. Would give em a smile and a wave before turning to show the other side of my face.
Not having cellphones, what can I say. We entertained ourselves however we could.
I think it’s pretty normal tbh. They probably just thought, Wow! What a down to earth guy coming to work like that! Lol
Bro 25 years ago? These posts are just getting silly now
