TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by beating my kindergarten academic rival

This obviously happened a long time ago (lol), but I thought it seemed like a good story. When I was in kindergarten (I was 5 or 6), I had an academic rival. We were both the oldest in our class and the most advanced, as we were the only ones who knew how to read (simple) books and add/subtract large numbers.

One day, he told me he knew his 2 times tables, and bet I didn't know what that was. I had never heard of this concept before, but I pretended like I did anyway. He asked me what 2x2 was, and I guessed 4. He was annoyed that I got it right, then asked me what 2x3 was. I guessed 5, and he shouted that I was wrong. I didn't believe him, so I asked our teacher. She confirmed that he was right, then gushed and praised him for being so smart.

I remembered getting extremely jealous of all the attention he was getting. I wanted to be praised for being smart too! So naturally, I went home and forced my mom to teach me ALL the multiplication tables 1-10. Once I memorized them all, I (very brattily) asked my rival what 8x7 (or something like that) was. When he didn't know, I rubbed it in his face and proudly recited my tables to my teacher, expecting high praises.

Well, my teacher was so impressed that she paraded me around the elementary school. She got me to help "teach" a 3rd-grade class and gave me extra multiplication and division homework to take home every week. As for my mom, she was so scared I would forget them that she made me recite ALL of my multiplication tables before I was able to do anything fun, convinced my teacher to give me a thick stack of arithmetic problems for me to do in the summer, and had me skip a grade, resulting in me never getting to see my kindergarten friends again :D

TL;DR: I took the chance to show off against my kindergarten academic rival, but did it so well I suffered for the rest of the year and summer.

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. ...
