TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by accidentally buying an $800 telescope twice

I’d been looking forward to getting a new telescope for my birthday, and found the perfect one for my area and budget. My parents had planned to get it right away, but they’ve been working full time and my mom especially just kept forgetting to actually purchase it.

I guess she got fed up with constant reminders, so she just ended up handing me her credit and telling me to do it myself. Of course what follows is me saying yes, and trying to do it on my phone (which has notoriously malfunctioned when it comes to online purchases in the past.)

So I attempt to buy the telescope, but after filling out all the payment info and pressing purchase it tells me the purchase failed. Cool. So I tried again, same thing. Did it one last time and got the same results so I decide to wait a bit and try again on my computer.

I buy it on my computer and all is well and dandy, except when I go to find the confirmation email, I see not one but two. One from twenty minutes earlier. That I clearly did not think to check for. Cue me freaking out, like, FULL blown panic attack in the face of my stupidity.

Everything ended up fine after I contacted the company and they canceled one of the two orders, but I think that hour of waiting to hear back from them was the most stressful hour of my entire life.

TL;DR I purchased two telescopes accidentally because I didn’t think to check my email after the original purchase appeared to have failed.

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 šŸ˜ 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. ...
