TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by not checking my phone in my pocket and all the opened applications

TIFU and I need to share with you all. While taking my dog for a long walk in the heat, I decided to wear light shorts. As I was sweating profusely, my phone, which was in my pocket, got unlocked due to the friction with my leg.

I didn't realize this until 20 minutes later, as I was enjoying my walk. When I got home and looked at my phone, I noticed that my Gmail account was open, and there was a random string of letters written on the screen. I quickly checked all of my open apps to make sure that I hadn't accidentally sent a compromising photo or message to anyone, but fortunately, I hadn't. Some apps were open, but I didn't see what harm it could do, so I closed them without checking

HAHAHA. I SHOULD'VE.

20 minutes later, just when I thought I was in the clear, a notification popped up from Deliveroo (similar to Uber Eats). It said that my order was ready, and it was an expensive one – 80€ worth of tacos. As an unemployed person with no money, I couldn't afford to spend that much on a single meal. I immediately called the restaurant to cancel the order, but they said that it wasn't possible and that I should've called sooner because everything is ready... If only I had checked the Deliveroo app 20 minutes ago......

The delivery guy arrived, gave me three large bags of food, and sarcastically told me to have a good party. I explained to him that my phone had ordered the food by itself, and he felt sorry for me. I even offered him a taco, but he declined.

Feeling disappointed, I was left alone with a dozen hot tacos. It was 3pm I already ate... I took two of them for myself and put them in the fridge to reheat later. Since I didn't like some of the ingredients, I decided to give the remaining tacos to the homeless people in the street or random people. Random people looked at me very suspiciously, but homeless ones took them happily as it was still hot.

So yes I did something "good" but 80€ is a big amount of money for an unemployed guy like me. Like I sometimes skip meals because I don't have enough money. To make matters worse, when I contacted Deliveroo for a refund, they refused, saying that since I had received the food, I couldn't get my money back. I argued that they should have asked for confirmation from my bank before accepting the purchase, but they wouldn't listen and thought I was trying to scam them.

TL;DR, the moral of the story is to always keep an eye on your phone when it's in your pocket or turn it off altogether to avoid any mishaps. And to avoid to get a dozen of tacos on your table at 3pm.

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. ...
