TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by not realizing my car is paid off

Happened yesterday. I've never felt a combination of stupidity and happiness this intense before. Little backstory

-About 5 years ago I frustratingly gave up on buying used vehicles so I went and financed a brand new car.

-Couple months into the pandemic I lost my job, savings really taking a hit, and dad diagnosed with cancer. It seemed like a good call to move back home while I get back on my feet.

-When I purchased my car I got additional warranty and if you don't use it you get the premium back when your car is paid off. Yay

-I really need to check my bank account more often.

Finally at the point I can move back out and really appreciate my parents helping me out. Was thinking the other day how sweet it's gonna be when my car is paid off. Hm maybe I can tough it out and live here till then for that cool 500/month extra. Got me excited so I thought hell yeah I'm gonna make some prepayments to help get to that goal asap! Go to login to my Scotiabank account to check out my loan info. Can't login, weird.

Call them and sit on hold for 35 minutes, finally getting through. Gentlemen answers, I explain the problem I'm having. He says..

G- Sir I cant help you login to your account simply because it's deleted.

Me- Huh??

G- Yes Sir when your loan was paid off the account was automatically deleted since you don't bank with us.

Awkward silence.. as I eyeball the mess of paperwork infront of me. All the dots connect. I read the date of purchase. Last payment came out in June.

I thought I still had an additional year of payments.

Later I call the business that handles the warranty refund program, they tell me the info I need to fax to them. Just realized in the fine print if I didn't make the claim 30 days after the warranty ended the refund is void. Rip $1725.00

I'm still going to try and fax the info and see what they say :(

TLDR; Thought I had an additional year of car payments. Didn't realize it was paid off since June. Missed deadline for warranty refund losing out on $1725.00 and feel like total idiot.

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. ...
