TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by making a charcuterie board for Christmas Eve dinner

Unlike many posts I see come up, this one actually did happen today and I am still paying the price as I type and wait for the next wave of misery.

One thing my wife and I have embraced in recent years is taking it easy on ourselves and keeping things simple. All too often the holidays become stressful with everything there is to do. When the subject of meals for Christmas came up (and I saw my wife's expression of "ah, fuck, another thing to figure out"), I suggested something different and low key - a charcuterie board that we could snack on while watching movies.

Being in the Midwest, there's plenty of great cheeses to choose from. I picked up some brie, a nice smoked gruyere, havarti, and a few others along with summer sausage, salami, and various crackers, etc. My first fuck up was loading up on the soft cheeses, which I don't normally eat and tend to have more lactose.

The spread looked glorious and my second fuck up was totally losing track of how much I ate while we watched the Muppet Christmas Carol (annual tradition). Within an hour or so my stomach was gurgling.

Shortly after putting our son to bed I got the sense that I might be in trouble. The gurgling intensified and worked its way lower. Fortunately, we were able to play Santa and carry up all the presents from the basement before all hell broke loose and my body started slamming the eject button. I'm now starting to question if I might actually be a bit lactose intolerant as I make my fourth trip to the bathroom and cramp up so hard I turn cross-eyed. Not how I wanted to spend Christmas Eve.

TLDR; tried to be cute with the wife and have a charcuterie board for dinner. Ended up spending all night on the toilet and will totally not be ready to wake up when our toddler comes busting in our room shouting "Santa came!"

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. ...
