TIFU by trying to moderate a radio show chatbox

Obligatory happened when i was 14-15, my dads old employer did an internet radio talk show, earlier on i had to install the software on my computer, it was just to broadcast some preliminary music so listeners knew the show was about to start, while the actual people setup the equipment at the location, eventually things were figured out and they didn't need to use my computer but i never bothered uninstalling it and the software started with windows.

One night i was doing some wikisurfing, studying history, it wasn't uncommon for me to use a screen reader, still isn't, sometimes i'm just not in the mood for reading, so i'm using this ancient software called DECTalk (which as a sidenote, is apparently what stephen hawking used) when something starts spamming my windows notifications, making it hard to hear the screen reader.

It was the radio shows chatbox, they had gone live and the chat messages were coming through to my computer because of the software, after a few minutes i could see there was an argument brewing in the chat and one used a swear word, so i did the obvious.

'Message from mods: please refrain from swearing in the chatbox, thank you'

Now anyone who has moderated a community or even played online video games, knows that doing that, usually does the opposite, in hindsight i should have closed the software, but i was trying to be a good smaritan i guess.

What actually happened was they ignored it, so i posted it again, and then started small talk, i didn't do much, but a few minutes after my dad walks over with his phone, he shows me a text message from a colleague

'Someone with our logo arguing in the chat'

I came clean, said i just put a message enforcing a rule (afaik there wasn't even rules in the chatroom) then my dad starts scrolling through the chat on his computer, he was listening to the show, he's like 'you gotta delete this now'

I deleted it all, my dad said they must have been hacked or something, but i spent the next few days wondering if it was going to be linked back to me, it wasn't, and i uninstalled the program.

TL;DR: Ended up as an admin in a chatbox, one night an argument started that was spamming my notifications so i tried to moderate, ended up causing a scare that they were hacked but it was never linked back to me in the end

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. ...
