TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by Accidentally Turning My Kids' Pancake Breakfast into a Science Experiment

As a mom of two adorable, yet incredibly energetic kids, I always try to start our mornings with a fun and nutritious breakfast. Today, I decided to surprise them with homemade pancakes - their favorite! I had everything prepared: the batter perfectly mixed, the griddle hot, and their favorite toppings lined up. The kids were already at the table, their faces beaming with excitement.

However, in my haste to make the pancakes extra special, I grabbed the baking soda instead of the baking powder. You see, in the chaos of our morning routine, I didn't realize I had placed both containers next to each other in the cabinet. The difference might seem small, but in the world of baking, it's huge!

The first pancake hit the griddle and started to bubble up like a science experiment gone wrong. It puffed up way too much, and when I tried to flip it, it deflated like a sad, overcooked balloon. My kids, watching in anticipation, began to giggle at the strange spectacle. I tried another one, hoping it was just a fluke, but no - each pancake turned into a bizarre, inedible creation.

Realizing my mistake, I burst into laughter along with my kids. Breakfast was ruined, but our kitchen was filled with laughter. We ended up having cereal, but the kids couldn't stop talking about the 'monster pancakes' mom made. I guess today I accidentally taught them a lesson in chemistry!

TL;DR: Mixed up baking soda with baking powder while making pancakes, turning breakfast into a laughable kitchen disaster and teaching my kids an impromptu science lesson.

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. ...
