TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by unknowingly sharing a youtube account with a stranger

For the past half year I noticed that in my YT history there were rarely and occasionally random videos I would never watch, some kind of soap operas and cooking tutorials. While mine is gaming/science/politics/war and some music.

I thought it was my parents, cause I remember I logged in with my account once on their Smart TV, so I thought ok: they don't watch Youtube often, so be it.

But as months went by, the IMPOSTER videos were still rare, but started screwing with the recommendation algorithm. And I thought: my parents would never watch this kind of stuff, so called my dad and asked to make sure he was using his own account. And forgot about it.

The IMPOSTER videos in history were super rare, and I wasn't paying much attention.

But today, I didn't finish watching a video and hours later came home and went to history to continue watching. What I found was SHOCKING!

10 fucking videos on how to make Apple Pie in a row! Mixed with soap opera and comedy shows.

I call my dad:

— Are you guys making Apple Pie?

— No

— oh ok, weird

I start thinking... And it hit me: My dad works with TV stuff, and gave me an Android box to test half a year ago or more, I logged in with my own account for testing, and probably forgot to log out. And that Android box is now in someone else house being used with my account.

Some 30+ woman is using my YouTube and is probably as confused by all the Gaming/Science/Politics recommendations as I am by her Cooking/Soap Opera stuff.

Now that I think of it, it's so ridiculously funny: sharing a YouTube account with a complete stranger.

TL;DR: I entered my google login in to an Android TV box for testing a year ago, and some lady has been using it to watch Cooking/SoapOperas for maybe a year, making us both confused by our recommendations.

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. ...
