TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU By Being Nice

God, why do I keep doing this.

I've always been a people-pleaser. At my last job, I had wonderful coworkers who tried to help me break this cycle. So I thought I could just find the opportunities to please others only when I get some sort of benefit.

My current job is a 24/7 facility. I started when it opened, and my boss wanted to do a rotating schedule; nights one week, weekends the next. Because no one wants to work nights or weekends around here.

I can't work nights due to a medical reason. I made a deal with my boss; I don't work nights and I don't have to work a rotating schedule, but I work every weekend and holiday (if the people normally scheduled want the holiday off).

I've been very flexible. I help her with the schedule, and I always offer to change mine up a bit to fit everyone else's requests as long as I keep the same days off every week.

More recently, I was helping her with the schedule and it was a mess since someone wanted to switch weekends. We were struggling to staff Friday's and weekends. So I told my boss, I'd actually prefer for my 2 12 hour shifts to be on weekends, and to work Fridays instead of Tuesdays. I like Fridays and the weekend because there's no one else in the building (we're connected to a Monday-Thursday office section).

Well, now I'm scheduled every other Tuesday, every other Friday and my 12s aren't always on the weekend.

I didn't agree to this. I asked her to please not put me on a rotating schedule, but what do you know, it works better for someone else.

I've put so much time and effort into this job. I worked hard for a promotion that I didn't end up getting, even though my boss now admits that I was the stronger candidate because of the specific duties (I got everything set up nice for the position).

I'm so tired of this. I wish I could be nice without it biting me in the ass. I can't quit my job because I won't be able to find one in the same pay range. And I usually like my job.

Tldr:

I offered to change my schedule to make it work better for others. My schedule got changed beyond my control to the opposite of what I wanted.

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. ...
