TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

TIFU by saying “YouTube Torte Tuli-Os” over and over causing me to lose a job at the literal last minute.

Not today, but a little over year ago, I (29F) had an interview with a company that I NAILED. The whole time I was thinking “yes b****, you got this” while nailing every question. They told me during the interview how impressive my cover letter was, how they wanted me to come do a paid shift to see how the position fit me, and how they thought if this position didn’t work, they could look into another at a new location they were opening in 2024. I was ready to get up, give a stellar handshake, and wait for a call I KNEW was coming.

This is… until they gave me one final “for fun” question.

“Who would you put on your Mount Rushmore?”

I knew it was coming, so I already had thought of my answers. I gave my first three and bonded with the three male interviewers on some of our people matching up. With a bolt of confidence, I added that my fourth and final choice was Paul Hollywood from the Great British Bake Off. To my surprise, no one knew who he was or had the love for him I did. Flabbergasted, I said that I watched the show and had his most recent cook book. I went to add that I had watched some of his YouTube Tutorials, but that’s not what came out of my mouth.

“YouTube Torte Tuli-Os” came out.

I was shocked and went to correct myself, but I kept repeating “YouTube Torte Tuli-Os.” It started with just me calmly saying this phrase again to just see if it was just a one time mistake, apologizing once or twice. It quickly turned into frustration. I began angrily repeating “YouTube Torte Tuli-Os…. YouTube… Tutorials… YouTube Torte Tuli-Os” over and over and over, getting more and more frustrated feeling like I MUST prove myself.

After about two minutes (but felt like twenty), the most intimidating of the three men interviewing me said “YouTube Tutorials.” Giving me an out.

But I had too much pride. I tried saying it once or twice more before saying “YouTube Videos” instead. The interview quickly ended and went from a “we’ll schedule a time for you to come do a paid shadow shift” to radio silence. Who knows what could’ve been if I hadn’t of picked Paul Hollywood as my fourth person on my Mount Rushmore…

TL;DR Paul Hollywood ruined my chances of getting my dream job.

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. ...
