TIFU-washing couch cushion covers

Today I fucked up by washing and drying the cushion covers of my 1970s glorious, yellow crushed velvet, cost us $1 at auction, seemingly indestructible couch.

It has nice industrial metal zippers on all the cushions so you can take the foam out and wash the covers i presumed. Having three boys under 10, as you can imagine, a light colored couch is bound to get dirty. The straw that broke the camels back was the red kool-aid stain. So I took all the foam out and zipped the covers back shut and tossed them in for a wash. This morning when they came out of the dryer is when I noticed that the inside seams weren't finished/serged. Or, rather, thats when I noticed the zippers weren't wanting to unzip. Cue cursing. Finally get one unzipped and am met with what appears to be a spiderweb of thread and fluff. The fluff is clogging the zippers.

On a positive note, after extensive trimming of threads and scooping out of fluff, the seams are holding, the foam is back in, and my couch is back to it's full yellow glory. The covers do seem to have shrunk slightly, but we did get them zipped back up even if it took two people!

Most of my living room is also speckled in yellow fluff. There's a pile of thread on the floor by the couch. I've now got to vaccum/dust EVERYTHING. I made so much more cleaning work for myself by trying to make the couch look nice again.

TL;DR: washed couch covers and ended up covered my living room in yellow fuzz and thread.

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. ...
