TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by updating my phone

For the past few weeks I've been getting an update notification for my phone. I kept ignoring it, as one does, but I decided to just get it over with. So my phone updated, I turn it on: it wouldn't let me unlock it. So I shut it off, turn it on, again it won't unlock. Eventually I got it to unlock, the update conpleted and I put my phone down to go to bed.

I turn over in bed, trying to fall asleep. My phone keeps lighting up and I'm ignoring it, thinking its notifications from the update. It was not.

I roll back over to see why my phone keeps going off and get an incoming call from my brother. He works nights so its not unusual that he's up, but its very unusual that he's calling me at 3 am.

"Where are you?" Is the first thing he said.

"In my room...why?"

He goes on to tell me that I sent him, my mother, my father, and my best friend an SOS message, black images, and an audio clip. My heart dropped into my stomach.

I had enabled the SOS setting months ago when I went away to school. In my fumbling as I tried to unlock my phone, the repeated pressing of the power button had set off said setting. The people closest to me had believed I'd been kidnapped.

The only shining sliver of good in this story is that no one called the police. I cleared it up with my family and sent an urgent text to my friend to ensure she didn't go into cardiac arrest. I did have to get out of bed and video call my crying mother, however, so she could make sure I was really safe. The SOS setting has since been disabled to avoid such an accident.

TLDR: I updated my phone and accidentally set off the SOS feature leading to my family and best friend believing I was in immediate danger. Situation was clarified, no cops called, and the sos feature is disabled.

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. ...
