TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFUpdate by accepting a $50 dare

I posted here the other day with my fuck up of taking a bet to backflip off a balcony, miserably failing and landing on my back on the backrest of a chair. I had been lazy as fuck since that day, but yesterday, I genuinely felt better and decided I would be fine to go into the city's center and interview people for a project all day.

Throughout the next couple of hours, the pain went from somewhat tolerable discomfort to agonizing deep pressure. I thought, whatever, I'll just sit down. But nope, no position or stretch or anything even slightly alleviated it. Getting into my car caused an overwhelming "pinching" sensation in my spine, and it was like my legs didn't work as well as they should. I could barely exert enough force to properly operate the pedals.

I had previously convinced myself that this situation would just go away on it's own if I stopped being a baby about it, but at this point I realized something was very much fucked. So, in the late afternoon I drove myself to the nearest ER. Getting out of the car was even worse, it felt like my entire back just... locked up, and every step sent a "shock" through my body. I straight up puked in the hallway from sheer exhaustion and pain the second I walked through the door. Luckily I was seen pretty shortly and given something for the pain so they could examine me.

Welp, turns out I literally walked around with a broken back for over a week. Compression fracture in 8T, for the smart people here. Got scolded a fair bit for not coming in sooner. Shifted two discs in the same area too, doctor told me I'm really fucking lucky I didn't severely jack up a nerve or anything. Said all the standing/walking I had been doing put crazy strain on my spine. The stiffness was caused by muscle spasms.

Figured I'd post an update. Like I said, I fr thought I would just heal on my own. Anyway, just got home from the hospital, they did so many different scans on me I might grow a third arm. My doctor said I have to take it really fucking easy until my next checkup and I'm already lowkey bored not being allowed to do shit lol. But feeling better on some meds so that's all good.

But yeah nah I probably could've saved myself some pain if I had just gone to the hospital immediately like my buddies - and a few dozen people on here... - advised me to. I also doubt I'll be setting any deadlift PRs anytime soon, which sucks because I was getting hella strong.

Live and learn, or something.

TL;DR: got dared to do a backflip off a balcony, jacked up my spine, and got treated way too late because I'm stubborn

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. ...
