TIFU by losing more than 80GB of family data to a shitty useless flashdrive

Back when I used to live with my family we all used the same computer, so every document and every file was stored there. Then I moved and took that computer with me and they got their own computers.

Later I got a better computer so the old one with all the information was still there but never touched again. Anyways, time passes and I've been asked many times to send back those docs but I was really lazy and had no flashdrive.

So my dad told me he got one for a really good price, I took it... I connected the old dusted pc, found all the documents and files they wanted and started CUTTING (instead of coyping) them from the computer directly into the flashdrive..

I finished at 3AM, checked the flashdrive, everything was fine, the computer had free space and the flashdrive had all the data in it.. went to sleep and woke up only to find out that everything was gone.

The flashdrive appears to contain the +80GB of information but every single file and folder is EMPTY... I treid connecting the flash to different computers, tried to fix it but nothing.. I am now depressed as fuck and hate myself for making such a stupid mistake... why didnt I copy!!

(If someone knows how to recover the data please help me! 🙏🏼)

TL;DR - More than a decade worth of files and documents of my family are gone forever because I cutted (instead of copying) them from a computer to a shitty cheap flashdrive that wont work.. FML

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. ...
