TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by accidentally revealing my coworker's crush in front of the whole office

This literally just happened an hour ago and I'm still cringing so hard I want to disappear. I work at this small accounting firm and there's maybe 15 of us total. We're all pretty close and joke around a lot.

So there's this guy Kevin (late 20s maybe?) who sits near me and he's been acting weird lately. Like he keeps asking me about my desk neighbor Amy, what she likes to eat for lunch, if she's dating anyone, stupid stuff like that. It was pretty obvious he had a thing for her but Amy seemed totally oblivious.

Today we're all in the break room for someone's birthday cake and Kevin's being his usual awkward self around Amy. She's talking about how she's thinking of dyeing her hair and Kevin just goes "you'd look good with any hair color" which was sweet but also cringe. I thought I was being helpful by nudging him a little.

So without really thinking I said "Kevin you should just ask her out already, we all know you have a massive crush on her." I meant it as like a friendly push but the entire room went dead silent. Amy's face turned bright red and Kevin looked like he wanted to crawl under the table.

Amy mumbled something about needing to get back to work and basically ran out of the room. Kevin followed her and I could hear them having this awkward conversation in the hallway. I think she was trying to let him down easy but I couldn't really hear everything. Now I feel like absolute shit because I basically forced this whole situation when maybe Kevin wasn't ready or maybe Amy suspected but didn't want to deal with it. The office vibe has been weird all afternoon and I keep catching people looking at me like I'm some kind of drama starter. Kevin came back to his desk and hasn't said a word to me. Amy's been avoiding eye contact. I texted Kevin saying I was sorry and that I thought I was helping but he just said "it's fine" which clearly means it's not fine.

I honestly thought I was being a good wingman but now I'm wondering if I just made everything worse for everyone. Like maybe some things are better left unsaid? But also isn't it better to just be direct about this stuff instead of dancing around it for months.

TL;DR I have no idea if I should try to fix this somehow or just pretend it never happened. Either way I definitely fucked 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. ...
