TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU and got fired from my job

I (18F) has been working at my part time job at a government run amusement park for the past year. I believe I've been a great worker, I'm responsible and serious and have rarely had any negative talks with my supervisor. I believe I've always put in my best work and I've been a good asset to the team. My job hosts very regular training sessions, since we do different things in the amusement park for every season (e.g. fall we become a haunted park and winter we are a skating rink).

I've noticed this from the start, the job would never indicate if the training was online or in person. The first few trainings we got emails telling us if it was in person or online, but afterwards I've just been reaching out to my supervisor asking if the training would be online or in person. From this, I've caught the pattern that 2-3 hour trainings are always hosted online and I've only had in person trainings that are a minimum above 5 hours since it's a hassle to open the park and get all our safety inspectors and supervisors in for a 2 hour training session.

Winter season rolls around and training starts again. Since I've worked there for a year, I didn't think it was necessary to email my supervisor and confirm (fucked up) and proceeded to fuck up more by not setting an alarm for training. I always have emails with sound notification on so I assumed once they send me an email, I can just join it and hence don't need an alarm.

Well, I got distracted with a ton of homework and didn't think too much about the training, I just waited for my email and eventually forgot about it. That email never came, since the training was... in person. The next day I woke up to all my shifts cancelled and an email from my boss that says I was fired. I was very caught off guard because I went from having a stable job to losing it in one night, I regret it so much..

It sucks because I know there's another training time they could have scheduled me for. We always host 2 of every trainings due to time conflicts for some and allow our employees to choose the date we prefer. I'm sad to be fired so suddenly after putting in a year of hard work, I've never made mistakes at my job and making such a big mistake is really killing me. To make things worse it's Christmas and I was counting on my income this month to buy gifts for family.. sigh.

TLDR: TIFU by missing a 2 hour training from my job which I thought was online because of past experience, completely wrong, got fired within the day and now is shocked and in regret for not confirming beforehand.

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. ...
