TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by mocking my bfs mother.

We’re at a family party celebrating grandads birthday, people eating and chatting and playing games in every room of the house. I was pretty excited to be there as I love his family’s humor and they were all very welcoming to me. Except his mom.

Frankly, the moms in my life never loved me anyways as I am a bit of a delinquent, so I just did my best to stay polite around her. Unfortunately, my house manners are pretty rough around the edges despite my efforts.

I finished my food and took my paper plate into the kitchen where boyfriend’s mom and aunts were chatting, but I couldn’t find the trash can. The conversation goes like this:

Me- Does anyone know where the trash can is?

Mom- the what?

Me- the trash can?

Mom- the what?

Me- …the trash can?

Mom- umm…

Me- say it with me slowly, traaasssshh caaannnnnnn

Her face goes so dark before reminding me she’s partially fucking deaf and I fucking forgot. I thought I was just making a silly joke about a misunderstanding

The aunts around her open mouth GASPED when I pulled such an attitude and I could see them hiding their laughs as mom was clearly not amused. Jaws on the floor all around.

Once I realized what I did, I too gasped and apologized VERY profusely before skittering out of the room like a roach under a lamp. She took it very hard.

I ended up finding a random room in the house to go cry in because I was so fucking embarrassed. her husband came in later to tell me while it was incredibly rude of me, she’s definitely taking it personally because of her preexisting feelings towards me and everyone else thought it was kinda funny.

Some were trying to make me feel better about the situation, and I agree that a grown adult shouldn’t feel so offended by the word vomit of a teenager, especially when it was clearly a genuine mistake. But ultimately I think it was an important lesson doled out before I made a real ass of myself as an adult. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. EVEN WHEN YOURE JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY.

This actually happened like a decade ago but someone posted a similar story and it reminded me of my time living with a foot for a tongue as a teenager lol.

TLDR: forgot that I was talking to someone who is partially deaf and made fun of her for not hearing me

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. ...
