TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by coming to work when I wasn't well

Trigger warning: small injury to a dog.

For some reason every morning when I wake up I feel very nauseous for about an hour, today was no different so I got dressed and I went to work. I am a bather at a grooming salon. By the time I got there my stomach mostly felt better but as I look back on it, my thoughts were like jumbled. Like it felt like I was thinking 7 things at the same time so none of them made any sense. It was time to start on my first dog so I grabbed the clippers and began trimming the nails. First nail was fine but the second nail I went a little bit too deep and hit the quick (blood vessel). I grabbed the powder we use for when this happens and began tending to the nail as my boss came over to see what happened. I got this overwhelming feeling that I was about to throw up so I tried to tell my boss so she could stay with the dog but the next thing I remember I was on the floor. Apparently I passed out. I've never passed out before. I went home afterwards because obviously I'm in no shape to be caring for pets but all I can think about is what happened? Why did it happen? My friend thinks it has something to do with seeing blood but not only have I seen blood before and never passed out, but I only nicked it there was not a lot of blood. Still I feel awful that I hurt that dog. Looking back it's clear I wasn't myself but for some reason in the moment it didn't occur to me "hey you don't feel as good as you think you do put the clippers down." My job isn't mad at me they say that even professional groomers still quick dogs at times and I'm pretty new but I'm mad at myself. How do you not realize something isn't right? I mean I was speaking like a zombie how do I not notice I'm not ok??? I'm scared to clip any more nails now because I don't want to hurt a dog that's the last thing I ever wanted to do.

TLDR: I passed out while clipping a dogs nails and cut the dog in the process.

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. ...
