TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by trying to encourage my wife

[Obligatory this was 2020 but still haunts me]

During the entire COVID crisis me and my wife decided to do something about our weight, found a plan that'd work for us, we were both working from home, cake shops and restaurants were all closed so we decided it was now or never. Now if anyone has tried to lose weight alongside their partner they might find that people who are following the same plan and same diet will lose weight in different ways and at a different pace. Even worse when your partner has some body image issues too.

My wife began to struggle part way through because she wasn't seeing any movement on the scales, I suggested she take some progress pictures because scales can stick while your body still changes, couple of days later shes looking at old pictures, looking at a new picture and flicking back and forth before announcing "Nope, can't see any difference, this is pointless" so I say send me the pictures you're using and I'll see if I can pinpoint where you've changed (because often she can't see the changes until its pointed out by external source). This is where the fuckup happened, I had one of those moments when your fore-brain lets slip a thought, that moves to your mouth, and exits, all while your hind-brain is going "Mate, what the fuck was even that?"

Looking at both pictures, taken about 4months apart I could tell the difference almost immediately, and before I had chance to stop the words leaving my slack mouth I blurted "Ah come on, you've lost an entire chin!"... The look on her face... It wont leave me, I see it before I go to sleep still, this wide eyed, jaw agape look of "Did you really just fucking say that?" the right thinking part of my brain was doing the "Aright I'm done" action while I tried to claw back what I'd said

Thankfully I lived to tell the tale, after explaining what I meant, showing her what I could see and smoothing that one over, but it was a massive lesson to pause and think before I speak. This is now and will always be referred to amongst us and our friends as 'The Chincident'

TL;DR: Wife was losing weight, wasn't sure she was progressing, I looked at progress pictures and told her she had lost an entire chin

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. ...
