TIFU While Trying To Get Cheap Yard Labor From My Nephews

Over the last two weeks, there has been a small crew preparing to move the trailer house next door to my Grandma's. She noticed that the old neighbors had a large section of paving stones in front of the porch and along the side path, so she got permission to take them.

The crew of guys absolutely trashed her yard with old pieces of wood, metal, and junk. And they left the ground completely unleveled! Grandmama was pissed! So I got two of my nephews and we started cleaning it up and raking dirt, the poor maintenence men in charge of the park were right there with us digging along. There's no way I wanted to stay out for another hour moving paving stones before going to work! So I struck a deal.

I told my oldest nephew I would pay him a dollar for each stone he moved. I did a rough count beforehand, just to make sure I had enough floating cash. I saw about fifty of them, so I figured thirty dollars for the older one and twenty for the younger one would be good compensation, they worked for a couple hours each. I got them each a shovel and left the house. What I didn't realize is that the stones were double stacked and half buried in the ground... so now I feel like I have to eat my words... those little assholes moved ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX stones.

The oldest was very good about it and requested I take him out to dinner to his favorite burger place and now I owe him popcorn money for school every Friday for at least a month. But hey, Grandma has enough stones to redo her whole yard if she wants. But next time I'm setting a flat rate for the kiddos!

TL;DR The trailer house next door was removed and they left behind a whole yard of free paving stones, I counted about fifty. I told my nephews I would give them a dollar for each paving stone they collected for Grandma. The stones ended up being double stacked, totalling over a hundred and now I'm in debt to a couple of kids.

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. ...
