TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by using mom’s Walgreens rewards account

So, for context, I’m a 25 year old woman. I have a full-time job, I pay my rent, my car, my bills, etc. I put money into retirement accounts, I’m in a long-term, healthy relationship. I pride myself on being a pretty independent adult and having my shit together.

I realized the extent of my fu today, but it has actually been years in the making. When I was in college, we had a 24 hour Walgreens pretty close to campus. I went there for everything, but with it being open 24 hours, I mostly went there for late night snacks and booze. Or condoms. I mean, I did go there occasionally for everyday things, to be fair, but I definitely went there for a good amount of “late night activities.” The first time I went, they asked if I had a phone number with a rewards account or whatever. So what do I do? Like any sensible college student, I punched in my mom’s phone number, and it works! Because of course Mom has a rewards account! So every time I went, I put in her phone number and used whatever discounts or rewards applied to my purchase. And I kept doing it, even after I graduated, until today.

I recently got a new job, and my new insurance had me sign up for a CVS rewards account, so I did. And I figured while I’m at it, I might as well knock all the pharmacies out and sign up for Walgreens, too. This was a few months ago.

I finally went to Walgreens today and proudly typed in my own number when they asked. “This is TRUE adulting,” I think.

Before I even get to my car, my phone buzzes. It’s an email from Walgreens. “Thank you for your purchase!” I open the email and am horrified to see an itemized receipt of the three things I just bought. All I can think about is all the times I’ve ever used mom’s number for very not mom-safe purchases in the past seven years. And, I’ve been doing this at CVS, too!! Although I haven’t been to CVS since yet opening up my own account, so TBD on the extent of my fuck up there. I just want to be sucked into a black hole.

TLDR; My poor mother has been receiving email receipts from Walgreens and has seen every box of condoms and bottle of vodka that I’ve bought there for the past seven years.

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. ...
