TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFUpdate - Two years on - Prank on my son went wrong

Just over two years ago, a well planned, elaborate prank on my son Josh went disastrously wrong. The original post is here - it's not very safe for work.

A few weeks ago it was my son's 16th birthday, and, as expected he pranked me. Nothing as tortuous as I did to him, however I think it's safe to say the prank war is over. He uploads his pranks to tik-tok, so I won't spoil it, perhaps you'll see it there.

I'll answer a few questions that were in my inbox as a way of updating. If anyone has anything else they'd like to ask, I'll attempt to answer them here.

What happened to the video footage? The digital footage that was recorded by the production company was deleted under the supervision of an off duty magistrate. I was not present at the time.

What happened to Josh's friend? After speaking to his friend, I had to tell his parents what happened. I did this before the production company were obliged to. Mostly his parents were confused and angry at me. Josh's friend and his family spent a lot of time with a counsellor provided by and paid for by the production company.

What was the name of the TV show? For legal reasons, and to protect my family's privacy, I don't wish to give the name of the show.

How has your relationship with your sons' been affected? I think overall, very positively. We are a very tight-knit family, that support each other, listen to one another and genuinely care for and appreciate each others failures and successes. Sometimes Blake makes jokes at Josh about what happened on the rare occasion they argue, and every now an then there's a fire to put out.

How did the TV company support you? The production company offered counselling, therapy, accepted all legal and production costs and offered my family a trip to Universal in the US. I haven't spoken to the production company for over eighteen months.

Did I ever prank Josh again? I've been on the receiving end of pranks for a couple of years and haven't pranked him back - quite honestly, I've been scared too. Because I haven't done anything back to him, Josh thinks I'm planning something big. Blake, inappropriately, taunts Josh with wise-cracks that I'm planning on interrupting his wedding night with a whole movie crew.

Doors get very loudly knocked in my house.

TL;DR - Pranked my son two years ago. Update.

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. ...
