TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU when I didn't listen to my body sending out painful distress signals because I live with chronic pain

I live with a disability that limits my ability to move parts of my body, impairs sensation, and causes chronic pain. Last night I kept being awakened by intense pain in the toes and main parts of my right foot. Typically, when I have these nights, I manipulate my toes and rub my foot until the pain returns to a manageable level and I return to sleep within a half an hour. Last night, I was frustratingly up four times groggily trying to move my toes and rub my foot and everytime I would finally find relief from the pain and return to sleep the pain would return within two hours. When morning finally came, I work up and removed my socks to put on a fresh pair when I found several lose elastic threads in my sock wrapping around my foot and my toes. Had I not tried so vigorously to relieve my pain I am not sure I would have maintained adequate circulation and feel like was in danger of losing some toes or part of my foot. It's entirely possible on my worst pain days I might have gone so far as to have not changed my socks and I would have spent even longer in a dangerous situation.

TL;DR -- I live with chronic pain and have limited mobility and impaired sensation in my foot. Because my brain is stupid and tired it tried desperately to ignore severe and persistent pain. I woke in the morning to discover broken elastic threads in my sock were basically creating a tourniquet and limiting circulation in parts of my foot and toes.

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. ...
