TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by persuading my friend to take shrooms and ruining his life

This was fuckupped nine years ago.

I was 14m, friend 'Cy' was 16m.

I thought it would be a brilliant idea to get some shrooms (stole them from a diff friend) and take them together. Cy wasn't sure but I persuaded him it would be good.

It was great! We laughed a lot and went for a walk around town blah blah blah and then Cy got spooked I guess? and he ran into the road and got hit by a car.

Don't do drugs kids.

You know when you're a kid and the adults are always warning you about these things but you KNOW they're just saying that to control you? You know they're exaggerating or even straight up lying. Like it can't be THAT dangerous. It's like when people say you have to make your own mistakes, because sometimes you can't learn from other people's. Or maybe I was just a fucking idiot.

He was in the hospital for a long time. I don't actually know much about it because his dad told me to STAY THE HELL AWAY from his son and for the first time in my life I did what I was told. I didn't try to see Cy, I didn't message him or even send him a get well card. This was also a fuckup as it turns out.

Probably pretty obvious to you reading this but at the time I figured Cy must hate me. I definitely hated me. But no. He wanted to see me and he wanted to talk to me and be able to like... process our trauma together. I don't know if that would have worked out as neatly as it sounds but I think I should have been there to try.

I found this out two days ago when I (23m) logged into my old socials and found his messages over the years asking me to reach out. We've barely stopped talking from two days ago til now. We had a lot of catching up. He says he's okay. I guess he is? He seems very well adjusted or whatever. He jokes that he's part cyborg.

He keeps telling me not to feel bad and that it wasn't my fault but I don't know. I think it was my fault and I should feel like shit. But that's making it about me, isn't it? I'm trying to make it about him this time.

tl;dr: Was a very dumb 14yo.

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. ...
