TIFU by trying to surprise my girlfriend with a romantic dinner

This happened today and my kitchen still smells like regret and smoke.

My girlfriend’s been telling me I should be more romantic and thoughtful, so I decided to cook her a nice dinner at home. I cleaned the apartment, lit some candles, put on some soft music, even wore the shirt (you know, the one that only comes out for Christmas or funerals).

Dinner was going surprisingly well. Nothing burned (yet), she was impressed, and I was feeling like Gordon Ramsay minus the yelling. So I figured I’d top it all off by flambéing the dessert. I saw a guy do it on TikTok—it looked easy and dramatic. Spoiler: it was dramatic. Not easy.

I poured some rum over caramelized bananas and lit it. Immediately, a pillar of fire shot up like I had just summoned a fire god. The smoke detector started screaming, my cat took off like a missile, my girlfriend yelled, and I, being the genius I am, tried to blow it out like it was a birthday candle.

Didn’t work.

I ended up throwing the flaming pan into the sink and dousing it with water. Smoke everywhere. My shirt now smells like I was at a campfire… in hell. The cat still won’t look at me, but luckily my girlfriend laughed so hard she cried. She called me “romantic but also a health hazard.” Not sure if I should feel proud or concerned.

We’re definitely ordering takeout tomorrow.

TL;DR: Tried to be romantic, flambéed dessert, almost burned down the kitchen. The cat hates me, girlfriend thinks I’m a fire hazard.

Anyone else ever tried to be romantic and ended up nearly burning the house down?

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. ...
