TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

TIFU by eating the one thing I hated most on earth for 4 months straight without realizing.

Not the most exciting story but I definitely felt very fucking stupid. Obligatory, happened beginning March of last year until about July.

So, I live in NYC in lower Manhattan. I’m also a very big fan of sandwiches as well as hot sauce. I have went to stores that exclusively sold hot sauce and was in heaven. Anyways, around when lockdowns started I happened to break up with my bodega. The nighttime deli man was an asshole and would try to charge me $1 for 4 ketchup packets when I bought a burger w/ fries. It’s crazy. So I started going to a new bodega. It was extremely clean, the staff was friendly, and the dude I went to always remembered key aspects of my order like “extra cheese” and “however much you think is a lot of hot sauce, put more.”

I went probably 8-10 times a week, twice a day, usually Monday/Friday. Always sandwiches, always extra cheese, always too much hot sauce. The thing is, there was just something about the sandwiches that tasted off. Not necessarily “bad” but just very different. I continued to go because of the customer service and because it just became a thing. Fast forward to the very last day that I went...

I was in the store and ordered my sandwich and got into a conversation with this beautiful woman. we talked about food choices and likes/dislikes. She mentioned she was a HUGE fan of hot sauce and it caught my full attention. We spent 2-3 minutes talking about hot sauce preferences and brands before she asked me what type of hot sauce do I not like. I told her I thought Sriracha shouldn’t be considered hot sauce and it’s absolutely terrible and I’ve never purposely asked for it except for the first two times I tried. Once to experiment, the second to verify that i hated it. Funny enough, the deli man hears this entire conversation. He follows up with a sentence that broke me emotionally.

“Bro, the only hot sauce we have is Sriracha. I’ve been putting it on all your sandwiches.” I just kinda stopped for a few seconds looking between the both of them with the most horrified expression. I felt so betrayed but I couldn’t be mad at HIM because I’ve never asked what kind of hot sauce they used. Deli man starts dying from laughter. The woman is looking at me like our entire conversation was a lie. I told him not to put any hot sauce on my sandwich he was making and left, never to return again. For no reason aside from shame and the fact that they only have sriracha.

Also, just to add... I specifically asked for Sriracha on a sandwich about 3 weeks ago and I hated the sandwich. So now I’m just at a loss to what happened. Not sure if this is some form of cognitive dissonance lol

TLDR: The one flavor I thought I hated more than nearly everything on the planet was put in all 100+ sandwiches I ate over a 4 month span. I barely noticed and feel like I don’t even know myself.

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. ...
