TIFU by telling my pregnant wife about Aron Ralston

This actually happened today, about 2 hours ago.

My wife and I have gotten on a kick of watching those GQ "The Breakdown" videos on YouTube. This evening we put on one where a cardiac surgery breaks down medical sequences in movies and TV. In the second video the surgeon talks about the amputation scene in the movie "127 Hours" . So my wife is about 6 months pregnant and for some reason the combination of pregnancy hormones and learning for the first time that this was a true story caused her to have her own breakdown.

She was shocked at first when I told her it was real. Then I told her he really did it with a multi-tool and she couldn't believe it and was crying more. Me being an idiot, I quickly pulled up a mini-doc on YouTube that started the video he recorded thinking he would be found dead. This was too much for her and she started crying EVEN MORE. She then said "I can't imagine having to do that all before being found" to which, for some reason not reading the room, I said "Oh, he wasn't found. He still had to get out of the ravine and walk like more than 5 miles back to civilization."

So there she laid, carrying my child, weeping for this man who cut his arm off almost 2 decades ago because of the traumatic experience he must have had. I am rubbing her back to help her sleep trying not to laugh as I type this on my phone.

Tl;Dr: My pregnant wife didn't know "127 Hours" was based on a true story and her hormones got her in her feels. I didn't read the room and piled on more information about the story that just caused more harm.

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. ...
