TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

TIFU by wearing yesterday's pants

The day started with me continuing to troubleshoot a network issue within the house that absolutely defies logic and everything I know to be true, but I won’t dwell on that since it’s just the appetizer of a full on 6-course shit dinner. 

Flying out to Dallas today. I tossed on my pants from yesterday, grabbed my shit and out the door. 

I hop a train, hit the airport and realize to my horror that I have a knife in my pocket. It’s a $300 knife so I’m not down to toss it and while I could probably go home/back, it would push me close for my flight. So I weigh my options. 

Can I mail it home?? Nope. No post box or anywhere to buy stamps/supplies. 

I can check luggage for free! Let’s do that! 

I have my laptop bag and a cpap machine that I’m carrying on. I don’t want to check either because of the abuse but think I may be able to fit my laptop in the cpap bag. So I find a spot and start sorting through my shit. I pull out my work phone, my kindle and laptop. Those are what needs to stay with me. 

Fuck! The laptop is too big. 

Okay next plan. Find a piece of luggage. $50 later and I’m set! Unplanned bag purchase but whatever, it’s a bag I’ll reuse. I toss the knife and a couple work shirts into it and check it. 

Off to security and the gates! Security wants all laptops, kindles, iPads etc out of bags so I pull out my laptop….. wait. Where the fuck is my kindle?!? Goddamn it! I forgot the fucker when I shifted things around. 

I bail from security and rush back to where I would have left it. Nope (duh). Rush down to lost & found who laughs at me and says “check back in a day or two”. 

At this point I’m like suicidal or postal. Can’t quite tell which but I get to the delta lounge for a beer and to try and figure my fucking life out. 

And then my flight gets canceled pushing me out 3 hours.

Whatever day you’re having, at least it’s not mine. 

But the upside is I’m midday drinking with a lot of justification. 

In the lounge, I have the kindle marked lost/stolen so perhaps I may get it back.  When I get to Dallas I realize that I bought it with my Amex and they have purchase protection which covers things like this, so I file a claim and order a new one.

I get back home 4 days later, and unpack my bag, and FIND MY GODDAMN KINDLE!! It slid to the absolute bottom of a pocket that only unzips half way down the bag, so with the bag being stuffed I never felt it and miraculously didn’t notice it in Dallas when I had unpacked.  Returning the unopened kindle to Amazon and canceled the Amex purchase protection claim.

TL;DR: Accidentally brought a knife to the airport leading me to thinking that I lost my kindle, setting off a chain of events only to find my kindle 4 days later.

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. ...
