TIFU by almost burning my apartment down.

I (25 M) was making a croquembouche AKA cream puff tower for a friend’s potluck. We live in the same apartment building, so I was to bring my dessert downstairs. I had a longer day than I normally do during the week; after 7:30 AM lecture, I went to play tennis for a couple of hours, club meeting at noon, and trained a friend at my gym at 2:00. I didn’t really get to start working on my croquembouche until around 5:00.

By this time, I am rushing quite a bit. Eventually at 9:30, I finished gluing all the cream puffs together with hot caramel into a tower and proceeded to move downstairs to the potluck. I was greeted amicably and in amazement from all my friends and hanged out for a bit. I get a frantic call from my roommate saying where the fuck am I and if I forgot something on the stove. Shit. I rushed upstairs and there it was- my pot of sugar turned into a fossil and apartment in post-smoke apocalypse. I felt so bad that I spent six hours today to clean it, but it still has a lot of burnt gunk on it, so I decided to buy him a new one. He was definitely mad initially, but he seems understanding. I was so tired from the day’s event that I completely forgot to simply turn off the stove. I’m still beating myself up over this, but I’m glad I’m the end no one was hurt and that I replaced his pot.

TL;DR: Forgot to turn off stove and pot of sugar burned and almost burned apt down.

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. ...
