Ok so obligatory TIFU this didn’t happen today but around 20 years ago. I brought into work a VHS of a few episodes of “Devil Man” anime I had recorded from the TV to borrow to one of my work friends, he watched it and brought it back in. As he passed it to me someone saw the VHS and asked what it was and my friend said yea it was good so he asked to borrow it and brought it in a few days later, it went through a few workmates like that, maybe 5/6 maybe more people who mostly just said yea that was good and passed it back without incident. I took it home, didn’t do anything with it and then my nephew came with my mother in law, I put the anime on and bam, the TV was lit up with instant hardcore porn, some chick getting absolutely railed by at least one guy. I had no idea where it was coming from, I froze, it felt like everyone did, just staring at the TV with some chick wailing whilst getting brutally fucked, it took way too long for me to just simply switch off the TV before a...

So let me set the scene. It's early morning and I'm making breakfast in the kitchen for my toddler, making lunches for my older kids to take school, the pets are running around, my teenage daughter is teenage daughtering (iykyk) and life be lifing. It's the usual morning chaos happening and I get a text message from my partner. I'm busy so I just skim over it and look for important keys words. I read "Nana passed away this morning. I'll fly straigh out from work at the end of the week to the funeral." So naturally, I'm like, oh my gosh, his Nana has passed away. I immediately spend about 10 minutes writing him a loving condolence message, letting him know I'll be there to support him, that I love him, all the usual heartfelt stuff. Then I think, I better message my father-in-law. So another lovely condolence message. Lots of love, lots of support. Very sincere. Then I message my entire familyincluding my teeangers who have since left to go ...

Soo I work with a brand and we frequently do collabs with influencers and creators. They go live with our products and we hook them up with exclusive discounts that only work during their live stream. A few days ago, we had this new creator doing her first live with our brand. I set everything up ahead of time. She's in a different timezone so when her live kicked off, she announced the discounts... and when people started adding stuff to their carts, the discounts just didn't apply. She messaged me but I wasn't around. I didn't see it until the next day. Some people from her audience reported her for deceptive pricing and the platform tanked her visibility for a few weeks. How my seniors compensated her is a whole other story. Then next day, we had another exclusive live with a creator who's a big name in her niche. Like, she has several hundred thousand followers. Same exact thing happened. She announced the discounts, they didn't work. Luckily I was online ...

So, yeah... I fucked up. I m a teacher in a middle school and today, I had Year 9 pupils. I don't know how to say it otherwise, I am french, we don't have same school system. But my students are 14 - 15 years old. It was the last hour of the day, I was very very tired , it was a long day. The class that I had for the last hour is infamous because of their behavior. Normally, I m pretty good at taking care of them but today... Well ... They discovered the sex educational books of the school library and they were very excited. So we talked about it and everything was great. I advice them about things, I answers their questions... In short, I was doing a great job imo. But at the last 10 minutes, I was telling them that, if they had more questions, they shouldn't hesitate to ask them at adults like teachers, nurses or... Their parents. I wanted them to feel safe and to NOT take exemple on porn. That when some of my students laughed very hard and said " my parents ...

I was sitting in my car in a place with spotty cell service. The biggest horse(?) fly I've ever seen landed on the window of the driver's side door. I took a picture of it to send my best friend, as one does. I sent it in a text along with the words, "This dude is holding me hostage in my car". Well, my text went through somehow, but the photo just kept unsuccessfully trying to send. My alarming text, without the photo for context, prompts my friend to start rapid fire calling me to see if I'm ok. Every time I tried to pick up, the call dropped due to weak signal. All she could hear was a second of my muffled voice and then the call ending. I was able to drive to an area with service so I could call her to explain. I caught her just in time to stop her from getting in her car to come save me from what she thought was my kidnapping. TL;DR sent bff a pic of a giant bug on my window, along with a lighthearted text that it was "holding me hostage'. Friend g...

Yesterday we had a team call and my manager was sharing his screen. He minimized a window and his Outlook calendar showed for two seconds. I saw an appointment for the next morning with HR and Chris's name in it. The title was cut off, but I could see the word “exit.” Chris is a guy on my team. I assumed he was either quitting or getting fired. After the call I mentioned it to one coworker I'm close with. She told someone else, and by the next morning several people thought Chris was leaving. Chris came into work like normal. He asked me why everyone was acting weird around him and I said, “I thought you already knew about the HR thing.” His face changed. He had no idea what I was talking about. Now he thought he was about to get fired. He started asking what I saw, whether I'd heard anything from management, and why HR wanted to meet with him. We found out someone else on the team was leaving and Chris was taking over part of their work. The meeting was...
