TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by accidentally streaming myself naked to my entire work Slack channel

So, this crazy thing happened last week, and I can’t stop thinking about whether I should change my name and just leave the country.

I work remotely at a tech company super chill vibe, lots of Zoom calls, and we’re all about Slack. We even use the ‘Huddle’ feature, which is basically quick video chats in channels.

I live alone and usually work pretty comfortably. That day was scorching hot, so I was at my desk completely naked no socks, nothing. Just full-on, easygoing keyboard cowboy mode.

I had just finished a 1:1 call, so I figured I was done for the day. Then, my buddy messages me: “Hey, quick question want to hop into the #engineering huddle?”

I click yes, not thinking much.

Here’s the thing: Slack doesn’t show a preview before you join a huddle. I had no idea it would turn on my webcam immediately.

And there I was completely naked staring into my screen to the whole company's view in a Slack huddle. Just blankly gazing into the void.

It was maybe three seconds before someone finally flagged me:

“Dude. You’re naked. In #engineering.”
And then another:
“OMG LOG OUT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING AHAHAH.”

I panicked, hit all the wrong buttons, and I swear I made eye contact with my manager through the lens before I managed to leave.

What happened afterwards? Well:

- Our Slack admin immediately disabled camera permissions in huddles for everyone.
- I got bombarded with no fewer than 17 memes within just an hour.
- The HR lady sent me a quick message: “Let’s talk tomorrow :)”
- The CEO sent me a virtual bathrobe emoji.

TL;DR: I totally forgot I was naked. Accidentally streamed my embarrassment to half the company. Now I’m pretty sure I’m probably in the next training slideshow. Just want the earth to swallow me 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. ...
