TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by choking my daughter unconscious during homeroom.

Yes, this happened today.

My (14YO) daughter is still doing remote learning for school, with a nice space in the basement and her own iMac. Over the past year that she's been in remote learning we’ve developed a routine. Shortly before she wakes up I make her breakfast, she goes into the basement and checks into school, I bring her breakfast down to her and go back upstairs, and then about 20 minutes later when I’m ready to leave for work I come downstairs, give her a goodbye hug (while she’s in virtual homeroom), and leave for work.

Today was no different — until. She was tired because she was up late the night before so as I’ve done countless times before I gave her a goodbye hug from behind. She gave my arm a squeeze in return and, a few seconds later, let go. I started to let go but realized immediately something was wrong as she flopped to the side. I caught her before she could fall but she hit the tray with her breakfast which dropped to the floor; dishes shattered, eggs and chocolate milk and glass everywhere. I held her upright and started to call her name. She came-to at once then freaked out and started crying, being very confused over what just happened.

After I got her calmed down I explained what happened and apologized my ass off. (Thankfully the camera and mic was off so nobody at school knew what had happened.) Once she was calmer and more collected I went back upstairs, made her a fresh breakfast, cleaned up the mess from the previous breakfast, and sat with her for awhile to make sure she was okay. After I left the house I had my phone monitoring her through a Nest camera near her desk, again just to make sure.

In retrospect, I think what happened was, when I reached around her from behind I bunched up the hood on her sweatshirt and it pressed between my arm and her neck, cutting off the blood supply. I had hugged her from behind like this literally thousands of times before without a problem, until now.

Thankfully my daughter understands, has accepted my apology, and no lasting harm has come from it. Still, I fucked up.

TL;DR: Gave my daughter a hug that accidentally turned into a choke hold and knocked her unconscious for a few seconds, destroying her breakfast (and its dishes) in the process.

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. ...
