TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by forgetting to buy cat food (more of a YIFU actually)

Today (actually yesterday) I fucked up by forgetting to buy cans of wet cat food.

I have two cats. One is clever, active, food motivated, and very vocal. The other is more relaxed, calm, and prone to cuddling later in the morning. Both are very routine oriented, as cats are wont to be. For them, in my small apartment, I maintain two dishes of dry food, two water sources (a fountain and a bowl), two litter boxes, and a dish of wet food that I set out around 7am every morning.

The food motivated one will attempt to wake me at increasingly early hours of the morning for breakfast if not given some kind of prompt that she feels is reliable. In the last couple years this became my morning alarm. I'd refuse to feed her before it went off. Otherwise she would (and has) attempted to wake me as early as 4am for food. She still harasses me, but within 30-15 minutes of when my alarm should go off, which is significantly more tolerable because she can be extremely persistent in her attempts to wake me. I've even attempted to train her with certain words about her being early, about me needing to use the bathroom first, and when she can stop yowling because I've finally finished mashing up her food because if I don't do that she won't eat it, but she'll howl away until I say so anyway because between the time I've opened the can and that exact moment I've forgotten she's hungry and I will allow her to starve to death if she doesn't immediately and forcefully remind me this second.

Yesterday I made the error of not buying wet food. I thought I had bought enough cans to take me through Wednesday, but it appears I'm remembering wrong, and now it is morning, and I have no food to feed her. She is currently making her displeasure known by harassing the other cat, by ripping bags out of my bag ‘o bags and shredding them, and complaining very vocally.

Since my work hours are reduced at the moment I had planned to take an early morning nap and then help my mother watch the gas molecule of a toddler known as my niece while my mother takes an early afternoon nap, but this plan is now in jeopardy.

I would march right out and get more food, but there's currently a freezing rain storm outside, and I don't feel it's safe to venture out until I hear at least one plow truck go by throwing anti-icing solution onto my side street, otherwise I think I'd be risking a game of automotive pinball.

TL;DR I forgot when I was going to run out of cat food, and right now one of my cats is being a major impatient asshole about it until I brave an ice storm to rectify the situation.

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. ...
