TIFU by beyond severely overcooking our dinner

Welp I'm a bonehead. Yesterday I told my wife I would cook us dinner the next day (today) so last night I put 4 absolutely gorgeous thick frozen pork chops In the fridge to defrost. I checked them this morning and they were perfect looking.

Tonight my wife sent me the recipe and it seemed pretty simple it was a dry rub consisting of salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and brown sugar. No problems there. I take a baking sheet and lay them out brush with oil and rub on the seasoning.

Oven is preheated to 375° and the directions are to bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temp is 140°f. I set the timer and once it goes off I check the temp with my digital thermometer nope only 75° somehow. Okay that's strange but they are pretty thick so I leave them in 10 more minutes. Timer goes off and I check the temp it's 85° how is that even possible? I figure turn up the heat to 400° and give it 10 more minutes. I check it again it's 95° I feel like I'm loosing my mind dinner should've been done 20 minutes ago and they're starting to look a little darker on the outside so I crank the oven to 425° and leave it in for 15 more minutes. 15 minutes go by and I check the temp it's only at 100° and they look crispy. I scratch my head for another minute until I look closer at the digital thermometer it was set for Celsius and not Fahrenheit. I press the button to switch the measurement and it says 212° Fahrenheit internal temp.

I overcooked our dinner to over 70° more than it needed to be. The pork chops were dry and crispy but still slightly delicious. Better believe next time I'm double checking what mode my thermometer is set for.

TLDR: TIFU but not realizing my meat thermometer was set for Celsius and not Fahrenheit causing our much awaited dinner to be beyond overcooked.

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. ...
