TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by chewing Alka Seltzer.

For context, I haven't been feeling well lately and in searching the medicine cabinet, I realized we were out of Tylenol, Nyquil, Dayquil, and the like. Not even any Ibuprofen in this house. But aha! I did see a possibly very old box of Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu. "Perfect", I thought to myself. I thought it was my saving grace.

Despite being born in the 80's, I had never seen those commercials that my husband has now shown me many of. I also didn't read the package instructions because I figured I could just take one tablet and call it a day.

They are lemon flavored so I was even more enthused about my lucky find. If I am going to eat chalk, it at least better have a flavor. Imagine my surprise, shock, and horror when I crunched into the stupid thing and my mouth started foaming...and foaming...and foaming. In a moment of sheer panic, I tried to rinse my mouth out with water and of course, that only made it worse and multiplied the foam. My husband walked into quite a spectacle and was somewhere between confused and incredulous.

Surely I can't be the only one who is unfamiliar with how Alka Seltzer works...right? According to my husband, I am. FML.

TL;DR - I never saw someone use Alka Seltzer so I chewed it. Cue mouth foam and amused husband. When I tried to add water to the situation, it only worsened. Ugh.

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. ...
