TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by giving a homeless guy 20 bucks and causing him to get the living shizzt beat out of him, and inciting a mini riot.

So this just happened.

Walking in Philadelphia. Saw a homeless guy sleeping in cold. Bent over and gave him 20 bucks. Other homeless dude saw and started kicking him to get 20 bucks. Then 2 people rushed over to stop the attacker. Then four cop cars all rushed on. Then an ambulance came.

And even worse, I stopped to watch, but did nothing to help. So now I feel like a sniveling coward who was evilly entertained.

All because I tried to do something nice.

What is this world coming to?

EDIT: Apparently I need to be more wordy. The homeless guy I gave the 20 bucks to was lying on a blanket at 5th and Callowhill Street. There was another guy begging for money with a sign in the middle of the road (who I initially didn't see), who saw me bend over and give the money. He rushed over from the middle of the street and started to kick.

Two men across the street saw what happening and ran over, and another guy stopped his F-150 truck on the side of the road and hopped out. Those guys pulled the assailant off the homeless dude. Then moments later the cops swirled all around. I do not know what happened to the $20. Sadly, I just walked away. In retrospect I should have stayed and talked to the officers. I do not know how badly the man was hurt.

Tl;Dr Tried to do something nice. Gave $20 bucks to a homeless guy, and caused the guy to be in a way worse situation than he was in previously.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
