TIFU by terrorizing my young daughter

Okay, not today, but you know the deal.

So last year my daughter (who was nine at the time) watched some shows on, I think, Peacock. Normally all went well, but one issue; they ran advertisements for a new tv show about Chucky, the killer doll.

And the ads scared her to DEATH. She could fast forward past them, but she developed this crazy fear of Chucky. And no matter how much I reminded her it was just a doll, that she could beat an doll up even if it was real, and even when I told her the history of it, about how the movie started when I was young… she was so scared.

So, one day I am walking through town, and I walk past this second hand vintage cool stuff store. You know… old lunch boxes and vintage posters and action figures and all of that?

And what is in the window? An original Chucky doll?

How crazy! I mean, when was the last time I saw a Chucky doll? I mean, when was the last time ANYONE saw a Chucky doll? So I snap a photo, because how perfect? I can show my daughter that it really is just a toy… like an actual, not moving around doll, just a dumb toy!

I end up at home, and I go “Oh hey babe, I have to show you something I took a photo of!” She runs over… “What, what?” And im like “Oh it is a surprise!” and I turn the phone towards her, and voila!

Aannnnndddd she bursts into horrified tears. “OMG IT IS CHUCKY! WHERE DID YOU TAKE THIS?!”

Uhhhh… oh, right by the Italian place? At the second hand cool store?

And she FREAKS OUT. “OMG HE IS RIGHT THERE! THATS LIKE A MILE AWAY! HE IS SO CLOSE, AND HE IS REAL! WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THAT? WHY WOULD YOU SURPRISE ME WITH THAT?!“ And here I am, realizing that I did the EXACT opposite of what I intended to do, and obviously it was not going to make her feel better and I am an absolute and total moron. And I had to comfort her for the entire night.

TL;DR Like a total moron, I scared my daughter with a photo of a doll that scares her to death because I thought somehow it would make her feel less scared.

one edit: she’s fine now:) the fear lasted like a week. now she just reminds me what a moron I was.

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. ...
