TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by cleaning my A/C air filter while having cancer.

Ok, this happened about 14hrs ago. Some background, it's summer here in Australia. Yesterday was 40c (104 in the old money) and NYE. Second piece of background info... I have a chronic form of Leukeamia that I'm in treatment for. No, it's ok! I'm not dying, at least not for a long time yet but it does make life pretty shit sometimes! It also means that because of treatment I have virtually NO immune system (Neutropenia)

Anyway, we went out to the movies yesterday and left the AC running as we have two dogs and a cat... One of the dogs is a husky. When we get home, the AC says it's on but it's a sauna inside. The husky is looking a little worse for wear. I go outside to check on the main unit and notice the motor and pipes are all iced over.

I figure it must be the filter inside. But surely not... We just moved into this house and it was noted on the inspection checklist that the filter was replaced.

Sure enough, the filter is black. I held it up to the light and no light shine through. Problem solved! Clean this bad boy off, wait for the unit to defrost and presto! We will have AC again.

I ran my finger along the filter and it was actually kinda slimy. I assumed it was from the humidity.

Brushed it all off and then rinsed it in the shower before putting it all back together to enjoy the cool air.

Fast forward to this morning, I wake up coughing my lungs up. Now, when you're neutropenic, you don't sit there and wonder what caused the cough, you get your arse to emergency and figure it out later.

So I here I sit in my little hospital room, my partner is anxious about what's happening and I'm being treated with empirical antibiotics and also for mold toxicity...

I just wanted cool air!

TL;DR Cleaned my AC filter and inhaled mold spores, I have cancer and no immune system landed in hospital the next morning.

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. ...
