TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

TIFU by promising a homeless man a meal & not being able to deliver it.

I feel like absolute shit. I drove up to a homeless man on the corner & asked if he was hungry. He told me he wanted a quarter pounder meal from Mcdonald’s so I said I’d be back in about 10 minutes. I went to Mcdonald’s, ordered the meal, and well…my card declined. I had them run it multiple times & it wouldn’t work. I know for a fact I have the funds so I’m not sure what’s going on. I even tried to ask for the meal for free & then return with payment later on because it was for a homeless man. They wouldn’t do it. I went back to my car & called my bank. After waiting for 30 minutes, an automated machine told me to leave my name & number and I will receive a call back before the end of the day. It’s been over 4 hours. Still no call. I tried to call them again. Same automated message.

I’ve been feeling so guilty over this. I can’t imagine how he must feel to have been promised a nice meal & have someone never show up. I know it’s not my fault that my bank is absolute shit, but I feel like a bad person. I plan on trying to make it up to him if I see him in the future, but for now, I’m devastated & I’m sure he is as well. The worst part? When I was talking to him & told him I’d go get his food, he literally said, “You’re coming back right?” & I assured him I was. TL;DR

*Edit: Thanks to u/bamboojungles I was able to make the meal happen! Delivered it about 2 minutes ago. I’m sitting here in a parking lot just thinking about how there are good people in this world. It’s funny because I’m not a religious person, but I prayed that a way would be found for me to get this man his food. I wasn’t posting this to hope someone would send me money. At the time of this post, I already gave up. But hey, whether it was an answered prayer, or just the pure luck of someone with a good heart seeing this post, a man without a home was able to eat today.

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. ...
