TIFU by faking an Indian accent for 3 years

I've been debating making this post for a while now. It's late for me as I write this and I've got nothing better to do anyways, so here goes.

I am of Indian ethnicity. I didn't grow up in India, but have been living here since 2017, and plan on living here for the next few years as well.

I started university here, and thought it would be funny if I did an Indian accent for a semester and reverted back to the way I speak normally in the second semester as if nothing had happened*. Unfortunately, when the second semester started, I was initially sick for the first few weeks, and stayed inside without interacting with many people.

And then the world went into lockdown and we got sent home, where I have been finishing university.

Over the past couple years I really haven't had to interact with people from my university much, faking an indian accent for a few moments when I had to speak in classes or for a couple hours whilst calling friends was no problem.

And here's where the fuck up starts. I met two of my closest friends in college. We've all been through a lot together, and I'm moving in with one of them later this year. I'm genuinely scared about how me telling him will be received- because faking an accent for a few hours is easy. Faking it 24/7 is not. I genuinely don't know what to tell my friends lol.

I've also fucked up because I was planning on leaving India by 2025, which I'm still on for. Unfortunately, the field I'm going to work in is a lot smaller than I had realized. Even globally, everyone knows someone who knows you. So I'll deal with that problem when it comes up.

Plan your pranks wisely, people.

*I speak a couple Indian languages (we have 22 official languages excluding dialects and smaller regional ones), and usually speak hindi with people, so working the pronounciation into the way I speak English wasn't a problem for me. When I mentioned to people that I grew up outside India they were genuinely surprised that I sounded like a native hindi speaker

TL;DR: thought faking an Indian accent in India would be funny for a semester in college. Ended up being way longer than that. Dug myself into a hole I'm too awkward to get out of now.

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. ...
