TIFU by cracking a joke about Space Force

Last night as I was coming home from picking up dinner, I hopped on the elevator in my apartment at the same time as a guy wearing a Space Force t-shirt. Being in the DC area, I'm used to all sorts of military people wearing casual armed forces shirts in the gym but I had never seen a Space Force shirt, ever. So, I turn to the guy and make a joke because I'm 100% that annoying person that likes to break awkward silences on elevators.

I say to him "sometimes I forget that the Space Force is a real military branch"

He looks at me, very seriously, and says "it's most definitely real, I used to be in charge of it."

That's right, my dumb ass unknowingly made a joke about Space Force to the former commanding officer of the United States Space Force who apparently lives in my building.

I recovered by saying that I work at Veterans Affairs (true) and that one of our long term efforts is getting all of the VA systems updated to include USSF (also true) which got me a smile from him but the damage was already done.

I did a little googling when I got to my apartment and not only was this guy the former commanding officer but he's known informally as "The Father of Space Force" and is a retired General.

​

TL;DR
Made a joke about Space Force to a former General known as "The Father of Space Force" and almost died of embarrassment.

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. ...
