TIFU by making a little old lady think the Devil was after her

Obligatory this didn't happen today, though the fallout occurred early this morning. So I live in the PNW and we are currently in the middle of a bomb cyclone. So while the west side is getting pelted with wind and rain, we are getting a few feet of snow overnight. In anticipation of this, I ordered a very large order of bugs for my reptiles. We are talking a few hundred mealworms, superworms, dubia roaches, hornworms, etc. I set it to priority shipping and waited.

Monday afternoon I get the notification that the bugs have been delivered. I text my BF and let him know. He looked all over the property and tells me there is no package, but sometimes delivery drivers in the area mark packages as delivered when they are on their way to deliver them. So we wait. Not long after, the mail person arrives. But still, no bugs. I go into the app to check on the tracking and my heart sinks.

The delivery didn't go to MY address.

See, a few weeks ago a friend of mine's grandmother - who has dementia - lost her sister. Being the nice person I am, I sent her a gift basket and a nice card. What I didn't realize was that her address was now saved as the default shipping address. And she was now in possession of a very large box of bugs.

So I messaged my friend and let her know what happened and that she could just mark the box as returned to sender. That way, grandma wouldn't have to deal with it and I would get a refund once the box hit the company. Unfortunately, grandma opened the box first. She proceeded to have a two day long panic attack and now thinks the devil is after her. The entire family is in full rage mode because no one can calm grandma down, and I am out money and bugs.

tl;dr: Put the wrong address in when ordering bugs and sent them to a little old lady with dementia who thought the bugs were a sign that the devil was trying to steal her soul.

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. ...
