TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by attempting to psyop my boss into giving me his couch

This is currently an ongoing problem that I have created for myself and I’m just not sure what to do. For context it all started when I had to get a new apartment after getting out of a long-term relationship a couple weeks ago now. Now I was happy leaving, but me leaving meant the only things I’d be able to keep at my new place is a TV and a lawn chair until I can slowly start buying furniture again. This is where the fuckup starts.

My boss mentioned to me that he was looking for a new couch in the next week or so. When I told him about my situation he said I could have his old couch if he gets a new one. Now the problem is that he wasn’t convinced he should get a new couch and spend the money, and was considering just keeping his old one. His old couch for context is this very exquisite leather sectional so it’s not like he really needs a new one besides to fulfill his own desires. This is when I decided to come up with a plan to make sure I can have his old couch. And the means I chose is to run a subliminal suggestive campaign on him at work.

I proceeded to go to all the managers and workers at our facility and start talking to them about getting a new couch. A few of them were also looking into new couches because of tax season. Now what I did is convinced a few people who wanted new couches to talk to him about getting a new couch and the benefits of having a new one. What turned into a couple people has now turned into dozens of people talking to him about buying new couches and how they are going to get new ones. Well long story short of the past week is that he has decided to buy a new couch and give me his old one. Now how is this a fuck up when I was successful in my plan?

It won’t stop.

My plan has been so effective that it seems like half of our company is now buying new couches, and the result of this is that I’ve become the “guy who needs a couch” around the place, so what are these people doing? They keep bringing me couches to my apartment because everyone has gotten a new couch. It will not stop, I get at least one text message a day having someone try to give me their couch. It’s not like I can’t say no, but I feel bad denying generosity especially when I’m in a time of need, and it’s very appreciated. But I can’t do it, people are just getting my address from my boss (we happen to be neighbors as well) and I keep showing up to my place with new couches in my driveway. I have 7 couches and people are still trying to give me more couches. I have created a curse that I do not know how to break, and now I must live in an apartment of nothing but couches.

TL;DR I tried to use people at work to convince my boss to give me a couch, I have now become the couch man unwillingly

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 šŸ˜ 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. ...
