TIFU trying to order a white chocolate mocha latte

Went to the Starbucks kiosk at my job. Told the barista I wanted a “white chocolate mocha, grande, with only 2 pumps of white chocolate”. She said “what?” I repeated that I wanted a “white chocolate mocha latte”. She put in “hot chocolate”. I noticed her error right before using Apple Pay. When I reiterated that I wanted a “white chocolate mocha” (literally said “I’m sorry, but I actually wanted a white chocolate mocha latte not a hot chocolate”) she said “you said chocolate, that’s a hot chocolate.”

Trying to make sure I was saying my order right, I repeated “no I just want a white chocolate mocha latte” while lightly tapping my hand on the counter after each word in the order name slowly. The tapping I was doing w/o thinking as I was very focused on making sure I said all 4 words correctly and in the right order (“white-tap-chocolate-tap-mocha-tap-latte-tap”) to avoid confusion. I didn’t raise my voice or did anything else that would have expressed aggression.

The barista immediately got offended at my taping. She quickly snapped at me “ok, you want a white mocha and you don’t need to do all that tapping to get what you want.” Caught off guard, I tried to say that the tapping wasn’t for her but for me but I’m sure that whatever I said wasn’t good enough and she left in a huff, asking another barista to take her spot.

I ended up being served a mocha latte (not white chocolate) and they didn’t even call out my order. Later, I looked up the drink on the Starbucks website to see if maybe I had said it wrong (which I doubted b/c I have ordered the same thing for years now) and I wasn’t wrong- it IS listed as White Chocolate Mocha Latte on their menu. Now I’m too embarrassed to go back there again- at least not for a looonnng while.

TLDR: offended a barista without meaning to while trying to order my go-to Starbucks drink b/c I started tapping to help me think.

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. ...
