TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by eating the wrong jelly beans

Set the stage; I have been working for a few months in an area with a reputation for alcoholism for long-term occupants. I enjoy a good beer from time to time. I also enjoy a bad beer. In the immortal words of Psychostick, "Beer is good".

When I was shopping for groceries a few weeks before I left, I stumbled upon Jelly Belly brand draft beer flavored jelly beans (recommended, by the way). I was jealously hoarding them during my trip. I had one tiny bag left when I got home. Being home, I decided to enjoy them at 9am. So far, so good. I am enjoying life at home without rules.

Unfortunately, there was a problem. My girlfriend was very excited to see me, on account of being gone for a while. She comes over about an hour later, and in a fantastic mood. She comes over to me, and then pushes me back and says, tone thick with anger "You've been drinking already? It's *nine in the morning*.

Now, I sure as hell have not been drinking, because I'm not a savage who drinks at 9am. But she does not believe me. I can't figure out why she thinks I've been drinking so early in the morning. We have a nice, brief fight about it where she decides that its not worth fighting over. We go about our day for a little while, and then she sees the empty jelly bean container and does the math and *breaks down laughing* and asks if I have been eating jelly beans. And I have been. and we have a good laugh about the tension caused by like 5 (fantastic) jelly beans.

TL;DR: Beer flavored jelly beans and a work trip make my girlfriend think I am now an alcoholic

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. ...
