TIFU by nearly giving myself a staph infection

So I spent most of the day today in Urgent Care. Three days ago, I noticed that the lymph node on my right side was swollen and tender. I've never had this happen before from colds or any sort of sickness, so I was a little worried, but my mom who I've been visiting the last month caught the sickness a couple weeks, so I thought maybe it was just my body fighting it off (with the aid of the vax).

The next day, I noticed the swelling was still there, as well as a little addition to it in my face, sort of behind my cheek bone area. Starting to panic a little more, I took an Allegra and a paracetamol and iced and hot packed the area throughout the day as it was tender and turning my head to the left hurt some.

Well this morning I woke up with a nodule on my neck. I went into full anxiety mode, thinking of all the things it could be (my dad died when I was young so I had all those sorts of things running through my head). Went to the hospital and waited for my turn -3 hours- and told the doc what was going on.

He did his check and started asking about all my piercings. I have an industrial bar and three lobe piercings on one side, and an upper cartilage, inner cochlear, and three lobe piercings on the right, so I thought he was just making small talk. I had gotten new studs for the top lobes last week, and admittedly they were cheap from Target, but I've never had a problem with cheap earrings beside a few crusties here and there that go away quickly enough. Turns out that the earrings gave me a horrible infection and the swelling and nodule was my body trying to drain the infection. I'm now on a ten day course of strong antibiotics because he said it was quite bad and would likely have turned into a staph I fection in a few more days.

TL;DR: Nearly gave myself a staph infection from crappy earrings and from now on, only stainless steel or sterling silver will be touching my ears.

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. ...
