TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by asking my dad to switch TV Providers.

For some context, I live in Connecticut which for those who don’t live in America, Is right in between New York City and Boston.

We currently have been using Hulu with the Live TV feature as our main TV provider for over 3 years now.

The only issue I had with Hulu was that despite me living closer to Providence and Boston than New York. We only get the New York Regional Channels, for both sports and News.

We also get the local Connecticut New Stations but we don’t get the New England Regional Sports Networks which for me is a major red flag as I am a Die hard Boston Sports Fan.

A couple of days ago, I asked my dad if he would be interested in switching to one of the TV providers that “supposedly” had the New England Sports Networks.

We sat down and went through the options and we ended up settling on YouTube TV.

Big mistake, they don’t have the New England Networks. Even though I read an article that said they had those networks, apparently their only on TubiTV and DirecTV Stream.

I ended up digging further and found an OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM YOUTUBE TV that said they were removing the New England Regional Networks for all users in that area. Including CT. Now my dad is pissed at YouTube TV for having conflicting articles saying different things. He’s been on the phone with them for over 2 hours trying to cancel the subscription. I honestly feel like this could’ve been prevented had I read the article more.

TL;DR Asked my Dad to Switch TV providers for one channel and ended up not getting that channel after signing up.

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. ...
