TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by introducing my 3 year old to Barbie's Dreamhouse

Let me preface this by sharing that I was in a fraternity back when I was in college 20 something odd years ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the American university Greek system, there is often a 'hell week' requirement before becoming fully initiated as a member of the fraternity. During our hell week, certain songs were played on repeat, nonstop 24/7. One of those songs happened to be Dr. Jones by Aqua. Fast forward to present day where my 3 y.o daughter received Barbie's dream house as a gift. It was her first Barbie accessory, and to hype up the moment I played 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua for her. This is where the fuck up begins. Not only is my daughter over the moon with her new Dream house, but she takes a super liking to the song. She now asks, and shouts repeatedly to PLAY BARBIE SONG. The song being by Aqua and thus incessantly annoying, triggers my PTSD where everytime I hear it I'm reminded of 'Dr Jones' and go into a trance like state, and keep telling myself to 'wake up now'.

TL;DR introduced my daughter to Barbie's Dream house, inadvertently triggered repressed traumatic pledging memories from college by listening to Aqua

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. ...
