TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by not quitting my job

So as the title implies I screwed up and allowed my self to get played. This actually happened about a month ago, and just yesterday blew up in my face. So here what happened I've been working at my current job for 11yrs going on 12 and for 8 of those years I've doing what most of America's been doing looking for a new job. For all the typical reasons one would do that i.e. management was trash, pay sucked , and that one ah co-workers just makes your day just that much worse you know. Any way it took about 8yrs to get a pretty good job offer and was nice too. Came with a $3.55 rise with a payed overtime which would pushed it up by like another $6. The commute was perfect, it was about 10min walk from my apartment a 2min drive. Despite starting earlier the working hours overall were better. The only downside I saw was that this company only hires temps before they bring you on permanent full time. So I bet your wondering why I choose to stay. Well the answer to that was my current company when I put my notice in made me a seemingly better which in hindsight was clearly to good to be true. They promised many things for starters they matched the pay increase kinda it was .55 cents short, but it was supposed to only be temporary anyway so it didn't really matter. They promised me a promotion that came with an even larger rise and I would also be moving to a salaried position VS hourly one have now/was leaving for. The commute to the new position would have been longer 35mins i beleave but the rise would have made up for it, and all of this would have with in a month they promised. So I turned that job down because what was offered seem better. So what actually happened, well the $3 rise is thing only thing I'm going to get/already got. The promotion that was to get yeah thats not gonna happen. They explained it as they were expecting someone to retire about that time but they didn't. Translation the job it self was never there in the first place. Probably should added this at the top but the location were I work is shutting down do to landlord shenanigans so everyone is being relocated elsewhere in the company this is not a promotion it's a lateral move, meaning there is no increase in pay. The position I'm being moved in too was the same position I would have moved in too before I was going to quit. Only difference now then before is $3 rise. The commute to the new spot wasn't financially worth it before and it's not worth it now. The only thing making the longer commute worth it before was the larger raise.

TL;DR I tried to quit for a better job got enticed by a fake offer and passed on a better 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. ...
