TIFU Asking my dad for some help

TIFU 3 days ago.

some backstory. My dad is(was) a hardcore DIY guy, do it himself at all costs.
Car needs brakes... he'd do it. Needs and engine Of course he's on it. House needs tile, he's not gonna pay a contractor, he'll read up on it, and do it himself.

Growing up that's just how things were, anything you can learn, you do. Anything you haven't learned yet, you hire and then watch/learn, then do it yourself next time. DIY and working hard was his thing.... he never seemed to sleep. was always available for a problem, or just an ear to listen to my problems, and give me suggestions on fixes....

cue 3 days ago....

dad called me, asking what parts I might need from some cars he'll be taking to the junkyard. earth day is saturday and he'll get more money from junking the cars that day than any other.

A friend of mine needs a driveshaft and a shifter from one of the cars he happens to be scrapping, so I tell him I could use those parts. We chat a bit more and sign off, business as usual.

6 hours later I get a call from my brother "dad is dead", crushed under a car. 4 sleepless hours later I get up for work, and can barely register what has happened.... the man who taught me everything, who was there for me, is gone...... I finish the major job at work, and message my boss that i'm done for the week.

Drive 1.5hrs to my parents place and see whats what. the car is there, stickers from the backs of the defib device all around the car I asked for a driveshaft from.... not good.

I go inside the house and console my mom, try to find out what happened, when. console her, and get some stability for myself..... it's not going well.

I work up the courage and go outside to the car, the same car he asked if I needed parts from...... Turns out he put the car up on wheels to get under it, unbolted the driveshaft and it rolled onto him, crushing him........Fuck me. Asking my dad for free car parts killed him.

TL;DR I asked my dad for some free parts, and killed him

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. ...
