TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU with a custom ringtone at work

First, I need you to know that I'm hard of hearing, this becomes part of the story later, I wear hearing aids that are Bluetooth enabled, and I hook up my work phone to my hearing aids. As my work phone is a Samsung phone it came with the default, kind of lame, Samsung ringtone. I decided I didn't like that, and changed it to jigsaw's voice saying ' I want to play a game".

I then set up the work phone to connect to my Bluetooth hearing aid so I could hear the phone in my hearing aids, as I use it for GPS, and we chat each other as I work remotely, I'm a copier technician so we do need this. I figured nobody will hear the ringtone because it's just going to play in my hearing aids. I bet you can see where this is going can't you? So I'm at work installing a copier on site, the copy was installed, the training was done, it was just one more person that had to have the drivers for the copier installed on them.

They were in the conference room where everybody was getting ready for a meeting and everybody in the company happened to be there. My phone rang off, and everybody's head turned around to look at me. I couldn't figure out why I figured only I'm hearing jigsaw saying I want to play a game. That wasn't true, apparently the ringtone please in my hearing aids as well as the phone speaker and because I'm hard of hearing I have it turned up all the way. So everybody in the company got to hear my warped little ring tone.

It gets better though, I'm actually an apprentice which means whenever I go on site I have a senior technician with me, he flat out told me to change that ringtone as everybody could hear that ringtone and it was not appropriate for work. I did change it. So that's my story of how my warp sense of humor caused a screw up at work!

TL:DR: My warped ring tone was heard by everyone

@MODS Can we add in to the rules that a post can start with T. I. F. U as well? This reddit treats it as not the same as "TIFU" on the S object line.

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. ...
