TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU...Laughed at my supervisor's new idea!

Well, this happened about 30min ago; so I did what all good Redditors do...created a throwaway account and write about it.

I was in a staff meeting, via Zoom, with my supervisor, a couple of colleagues who are at the same level as me, and then a handful of people we supervise. The job or field isn't important.

In the meeting, my colleague says she created a new system of reporting and that it's going great. She loves how convenient it is and how it allows instant feedback. Our supervisor agrees and thinks it's truly awesome. I, wasn't really paying attention, feign interest and ask what the system is. My colleague says it a Google form and then goes into how cool the reporting system is and asks what I think of it. Without thinking I left out a laugh. Not a chuckle. But a full on laugh.

Our supervisor asks what's so funny. I try to play it off but can't pull off a lie. I say it's the same thing I did over a year ago and no one liked it so I scrapped it. My supervisor says, she doesn't remember it but does remember another reporting system I did but, in her eyes it wasn't the same. I said yes, I did the different one after all the push back I received from the Google form. Then when both systems received a lot of push back, I stopped trying.

My supervisor says something along the lines of "well we can talk about this later". I said nothing because I thought she wanted to get the last word. After a few seconds she says, "Ok, 'supervisor' let's talk tomorrow". I said something like "yes let's talk tomorrow, sorry I was getting a drink".

Normally, I wouldn't be too worried, but my supervisor, whom I used to respect, is not a good leader or supervisor. She welcomes triangulation. She treats women better than men. She selectively remembers ideas. She welcomes over-functioning and working in someone else's lane. She gives half directions and chastises when things aren't done the way she thinks they should be done. Plus, she's "write up" happy.

I used to like my job. I used to respect my supervisor. I need a new job.

TLDR: In a meeting with my supervisor, I laughed at her "new idea" which was my shot-down idea from 18 months earlier

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. ...
