TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by thinking my deaf friend’s shaking bed was an earthquake

so i used to date this girl awhile back, we’ll call her jess. jess has treacher collins syndrome. she’s nearly deaf and wears hearing aids, and has had over 12 surgeries on her face. jess and i dated for a year and then broke up, as we were just better off as friends.

i remember when we were dating and we’d start to argue, she’d take her hearing aids off and turn away from me. this used to piss me off so bad, but now it’s just funny. anyways, we definitely operate better as friends. in the past we’d always sleep at my house. and the other day we decided to have a sleepover at hers for the first time and i was super excited.

everything goes super great and it’s fun, and then we decide it’s time for bed. jess obviously takes off her hearing aids when she sleeps (she’s got screws in her head, and her hearing aids just click into place) so there’s no talking to her after that point. sometime around 5am, i wake up to violent shaking. i’m talking like, the bed is rocking back and forth, jumping up and down, and vibrating.

my first thought is “oh my god, an earthquake.” even though we live in colorado. now, i have no idea what to do in an earthquake but i figured we needed to get under a table or something. Jess is sleeping peacefully through all of this. i turn on the lights and frantically shake her awake, then scream at her we need to take cover. i jump off the bed and onto the floor, and… nothing is happening.

Jess is staring at me, absolutely bewildered. she clicks her hearing aids into place and asks me what the hell is wrong with me. i have no idea how to explain myself at this point, so i motion to her bed, which is still shaking. she laughs and tells me since she’s deaf, her bed is her alarm clock. her dad installed something, somewhere, that makes it shake.

we had a good laugh about it and went back to sleep afterwards. i will never forget that level of panic, though. i almost shit my pants in her bed.

tl;dr- my friend is deaf and her bed shakes to wake her up

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. ...
