TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU and managed to sprain one and snap the other ankle at a horse show this weekend

Title: Managed to Snap Both Ankles at a Horse Show This Weekend

So, this weekend I was at a horse show in Florida, staying in my friend’s trailer. I was there to take photos of my friends competing, and things were going great—until I stepped out of the trailer.

I had my camera in hand, ready to head to the arenas, when my left ankle decided it was done. It gave out completely, and I heard a loud snap. Before I could even process it, I shifted my weight to my right foot, and snap—that one went too. I hit the ground in a heap, and all I could think was, “Please don’t let the lens be cracked.”

Thankfully, the camera was fine. My ankles? Not so much. I sat there in pain, trying to figure out if I could even stand, but moving wasn’t happening. My phone was nearby, so I called my friend for help. She rushed over, got me up, and somehow I convinced her to drive me to the arenas so I could still take pictures. Priorities, right?

I hobbled around for a bit, snapping shots of my friends’ rounds, but my ankles were swelling fast. Luckily, medics were on-site (it’s an FEI-level event), so I asked them to check me out. They took one look and told me I needed X-rays ASAP.

After the rounds, my friend drove me to the ER. I was pretty sure something was broken but didn’t want to believe it or thought maybe I was over reacting. Turns out, I was right. X-rays showed my left ankle is sprained and the right one is broken. They put my left ankle in a small air splint and right one in a cast and gave me crutches. I’m now relying on the sprained ankle to do all the work, which is… not ideal.

Now I’m back at the horse show, hobbling around and trying to stay positive. I’ve got to call an orthopedic on on Monday to figure out what’s next. Can not believe this happened

TL;DR: Stepped out of my friend’s trailer at a horse show, left ankle snapped, then the right one snapped too. Left is sprained, right is broken. Camera survived. Now in a cast and on crutches.

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. ...
