TIFU By Being Too Polite And Missing Out On £100 And Free Tattoo Removal

TL;DR Tatoo removal clinic offered to refund my previous sessions and give me the rest for free, I declined out of politness hoping they'd insist, they didn't

This wasn't today but it's taken some time for me to realise I actually F'd up

So I'm currently going through the process of having a tattoo lasered. It was meant to be a memorial tattoo for my daughter but it came out atrociously, so I had to immediately make plans to have it laser removed and hopefully redone

At my last session, which was the second one, the technician happened to ask what the tattoo meant and I explained. He did the whole 'I'm So sorry' and then was like, 'I Don't really know what to say now.'

At the end when I came to pay he mentioned he felt bad taking money off me now knowing what it was for , I just kinda laughed a bit and paid.

Fast forward a few days, I receive and e-mail from the laser clinic:

I've been thinking about it and I feel really uncomfortable making a profit out of your tattoo with it been for what you told me.
I've spoken to the owner and we would like to refund you. Can you send me your back details and I'll send you the money back. Also any furture sessions will also be free.

I Was speechless, it was just such a kind and generous gesture, one of those faith in humanity restored moments. I Felt so lucky and humbled at once. I Was short on money at the time and was a bit stressed about the costs of more treatments, so this was a real life saver.

I Didn't know how to respond, as greatfull as I was just accepting the money somehow didn't sit right. Like when someone makes and offer like this you're not supposed to just, snatch it out their hand, right?

I Decided to settle my dilemma of doing the dance if politely refusing the money, but of course with the hope they'd, politely insist

Oh my that is incredibly kind and generous of you both to offer, thank you so much. I Would feel bad though, I know you have a business to run and living to make, I'm not sure I'd feel right recieving a free service from you, though it is very appreciated!

I Pressed send, and waited eagerly for the reply.

There has been no reply. They did not do the dance.

It's been a few weeks, at this point I'm guessing they saw it and thought, 'Well I guess we can't force her'

Frick. I Really coulda done with that refund. But I chose politness over money...I Sure better have some good karma coming my way

By the way, since this I also got offered a free weekend stay in a luxury holiday cottage, and screwed that up too by not booking it off work in time. So it seems a theme for me rn to get offered free stuff and fumble it. What does this mean?

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. ...
