TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by reminiscing through old messages

This was a couple years ago, but I still get anxiety thinking about it.

A while back, I was extremely bored laying in bed, and scrolling Facebook. For some reason, I began to wonder how far my messages went back, because my account is from 2008-ish.

Anyway, I started reading through some of the conversations as I was going along, and found myself reading through a convo from a situationship I had that was just weird and ended awkwardly. I had had enough of some of my embarrassing messages and was trying to back out of the conversation, and wouldn't you know it, I gave her the biggest God damn "thumbs up" you've ever seen!!

I was immediately paralyzed, thinking "Fuck! I wonder if she gets a notification for that? Hell with it, I'll just delete it. But what if she gets the notification that I sent the thumbs up and thinks it's a fluke, because what sane person would be reading through our weird situationship's conversation from like 6 years ago at 1:30 in the morning, only to find that I've deleted it? Then it would be obvious that I'm really, deep creeping through our old messages when I was literally doing only the normal amount of creeping!?"

I finally just said fuck it and deleted the thumbs up. But we still live in the same small town, still run into each other, and intentionally try to look preoccupied with something else.

So fucking awkward.

TL;DR Accidentally sent a "thumbs up" on messenger to an old flame while reading through conversation from years ago. Had a mental break in the ensuing 10 seconds, followed by a lifetime of awkwardness.

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. ...
