TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by dancing to 80s music

If I exercise before bed, I always find it gets me better sleep. Also, I don't have much time to do it during the day. I usually go for a one-hour or two-hour walk, and sometimes I jog.

It gets boring sometimes though, and I'm not always in the "mood" to walk. That's when it hit me. Why don't I do aerobics? I went on YouTube and looked it up.

The first result wasn't aerobics per se, just a lady dancing to 80s songs. I'm 20, so I grew up with my mom playing those hits and it was really nostalgic to hear them again.

I caught myself singing along and having so much fun, it didn't even really feel like a workout. I finished and even revisited some songs before I was finished. Finally, an hour later, I had many zone minutes on Fitbit. I was so satisfied. And exhausted.

I knew I was going to sleep well tonight, especially since work had been so draining. I pulled the bedsheets to my chin and awaited dreamland. Except...

A Madonna song was playing OVER AND OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD. Whenever I felt like I was going to drift off, this song butted its way back in and tormented me. "Get into the groove!!!!! Boy you've got to prove!!!!! your love to meeeee!!!!" STOP MADONNA STOP

An hour passed, then two. I distracted myself by trying to fall asleep to a video. NOTHING. 6 am came and I knew I'd have only 2 hours of sleep. I did sleep at some point, but it was hell to wake up. Hey, at least I'll sleep well tonight, right? WRONG.

The next night came, I went to bed. I tried to sleep. "MUSIC CAN BE SUCH A REVALATION!!! DANCING AROUND YOU FEEL THE SWEET SENSATION!!!" To top it off, Micheal Jackson also joined the party. "BILLIE JEAN IS NOT MY LOVER!!!!!"

I fell asleep at some point, after 6 for sure. At this point, I was a zombie, working only for my rulers Madonna and Michael. After breakfast, I realized I'd fallen asleep SITTING UP for an hour. I felt better for a while, but the aching tiredness came again soon after. Surely, my body can't take more, right? I'll fall asleep tonight for sure. WRONG AGAIN.

A WEEK!!!!!! A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! A week of two hours of sleep!! I didn't even know that was possible!!! I lived only to do the bare minimum. I didn't even trust myself to drive anymore, I felt drunk or something.

My solution? I ate the highest THC edible I could find and I had sweet relief. The thing is now, whenever I try to sleep without weed, I can't. That was never a problem before. I am no longer autonomous. Just a shell to serve my Gods. My brain is their hideout. Catch them off guard and they will return to avenge their betrayal.

TL;DR: Danced to 80s songs as a workout, got a deathly earworm. I couldn't sleep for a week and now I have to smoke weed to sleep.

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. ...
