TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by sending my class the wrong link

Oh boy, where do I (m 56) even start? Today was probably the most embarrassing day of my entire teaching career, and I’ve had some doozies. For context, I am a university professor, and like many in my profession, I have adapted to the increased use of technology in education, especially email communication with students.

Today's FU started off innocently enough. I was sending out an email to my class with some supplementary materials for our next lecture. I wanted to include a link to a YouTube video that I thought would provide some additional insight into the topic we were discussing.

However, in my haste and lack of attention, I ended up copying and pasting the wrong link. Instead of an educational video, I accidentally sent a link to a K-Pop dance . Now, this wouldn’t have been so bad if it was just a regular dance video. But no, it was one of those overly sexy dance covers performed by a girl in quite revealing clothing.

I didn’t realize my mistake until a student replied to the email, asking, “Professor, is this the right video? It doesn’t seem very related to the lecture topic...” Confused, I clicked on the link I had sent and felt my face turn beet red as I watched the dancer move in ways that were definitely NOT related to our academic studies.

Panicking, I quickly sent out a follow-up email, apologizing for the “mistake” and providing the correct link. I assured the students that it was a mix-up and to please disregard the previous email.

But the damage was done. The students had seen the video, and soon my inbox was filled with a mix of amused and confused messages. Word spread like wildfire, and by the end of the day, even my colleagues were giving me smirking glances and teasing comments.

Now I’m not only known as the professor in my field, but also as the professor who sent a K-Pop dance to an entire class. I’m mortified, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve lost some respect in the eyes of my students and peers.

So yeah, any way i can explain this away? Maybe say it was a virus?

TL;DR: Accidentally sent my students a link to a K-Pop dance instead of a relevant educational video.

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. ...
