TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by keep asking Shake Shack for a refund

Last week, I ordered shake shack and picked up the food without knowing they messed up my order (wrong fries). So, the other day, I went back with the receipt and talked to the manager about it. Due to some unfortunate events, they only do pick-up on that day. The manager then asked me to order the fries via app (UberEats) and he will process the refund, which should go back to my account within a week. If not, I can come back and ask for him. I said ok, although I didn't even want fries that day but sure. The manager was friendly and helpful. I was happy lol

I waited for over a week, but the refund never came. I know the $$ was small, but I'm pretty broke and live close to the store. So, I went back and looked for the manager. He said he was surprised the refund didn't show up and asked if he can get me anything today to make me happy. I was like umm not really. He then said he can give me the refund now at the cashier. He punched in the fries, asked me to swipe my card, then gave me the receipt saying refund for 1 order of fries. He said the refund should reflect on my account now and I might even get two refunds. Somehow, I thought I'll be getting another fries today (since he gave me the receipt and put in the fries order). So, I sat down and awkwardly waited near the cashier, which was quite busy. After 15 minutes, I realized that maybe I misunderstood. So, I went back to him again and told him I'm confused about whether I was supposed to get fries today (?). He was like "oh do you want fries? I can get you fries." LOL

I was so embarrassed about the situation. A few minutes later, I walked out of the store with fries. However, I checked my bank account and I did not see any transaction today. It was like the transaction didn't happen. Did I misunderstand the process? If I didn't go up and asked for the fries, I was probably back to square one of not getting any refund. If anyone has any insights on this, feel free to comment.

Before this, I thought I did the right thing, but now I'm just confused and embarrassed. The manager was awesome. I probably won't go back to that Shake Shack ever.

TL;DR - Went back to Shake Shack twice to ask for a refund for fries. Might misunderstand what the manager said and wait for the fries that never came. Had to go back and embarrassingly ask for the fries out of confusion.

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. ...
