TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by Forgetting to Cancel my Photoshop Trial Subscription

Today, like many TIFU posts, this happened a few weeks ago but the repercussions are hitting me now. So, about two weeks ago, I decided to try out Photoshop for a fun family photo edits and Generative Fill. I found a sweet deal for a 14-day trial and thought, "Great! I'll just cancel before it charges me."

Fast forward to today, and I found myself in a predicament. I tried to cancel my Photoshop subscription after the trial ended (because i forgot) thinking that i'll pay a month worth anyway, but to my horror, I discovered that Adobe was not going to let me off the hook that easily. They want to charge me if I cancel early, and not just a small fee. No, they want to charge me 50% of a year worth of subscription

So here I am, stuck in a year-long commitment, paying monthly for a service I no longer need or want. It's incredibly frustrating how these companies make it so easy to sign up but nearly impossible to cancel without facing hefty penalties.

To anyone reading this, learn from my mistake: always read the fine print, set reminders for trial cancellations, and be prepared to fight tooth and nail to break free from sneaky subscription clauses.

TL;DR: Tried to cancel my Photoshop trial subscription, now facing hefty charges for breaking the contract. Beware of the fine print, folks.

edit-added few stuff and plurals

edit-I tried registering a new account to look for this stupid clause.. and its in a tiny link that leads you to a new page and the clause can be found in the bottom of the new page.

Should you cancel after 14 days, you’ll be charged a lump sum amount of 50% of your remaining contract obligation and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.

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. ...
