TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by driving to a raid in Pokémon GO

Obligatory didn't happen today.

Some time during covid, when the rules were loosening up a little, I found myself downloading and playing Pokémon GO again, because why not. I live in a small town, the kind where going by car takes the same amount of time as going by bike. So one day, my father asks me to pick up a prescription from basically the other side of town (~15 mins by bike). When walking out of the pharmacy, I take a look at Pokémon GO and see there's a raid about to start a 2 minute drive away from me. It's the opposite direction, but why the hell not?

So I start riding towards it. It's located at a roundabout near a primary school. Since I don't wanna waste too much time, I just take the fastest way possible. Now this is where I fuck up. For some reason I decided switching the side of the street takes too much time, so I ride on the left sidewalk for literally 200 meters. Mind you, there was nobody around. And, of course, the police has to drive by me at that exact moment.

Since they apparently have nothing better to do, they tell me to stop at the next bus stop which happens to be at the primary school. And, of course, the classes just ended so the bus stop is crawling with kids and some teachers. Unfortunately for me, I used to attend this primary school.

So there I stand, at the bus stop of my old school, with the police fining me for riding on the wrong side of the road, praying nobody recognizes me. I ended up paying some crap fine of 15€ or something. Worst thing? Those officers needed so much time to type in what they needed I ended up missing the raid.

If you happen to read this, I hope you guys step on Legos. A quick warning really would've been enough.

TL;DR Rode on the wrong side of the road on my way to a Pokémon GO raid, ended up paying a fine and missing the raid.

Edit: oh God, I'm sorry! Of course I meant RIDING MY BIKE not driving my car! Forgive my sleepy brain, lol.

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. ...
