TIFU by accidentally becoming my apartment building's unofficial maintenance guy because I fixed one squeaky door

Now everyone knocks on my door with broken shit and I have to pretend I know what I'm doing. youtube University is carrying me through home repairs I'm not qualified for. This all started three weeks ago when my neighbor Janet mentioned her door was squeaking loud enough to wake the dead. I had some wd-40 lying around so I sprayed the hinges and that's how it got fixed. She was so grateful she told everyone in the building about my "handyman skills" Now I'm apparently the go to guy for every broken appliance Yesterday a neighbor showed up with a toaster asking if I could "work my magic" I was like I sprayed some oil on door hinges I'm not an appliance mechanic. I've been frantically googling fixes 30 seconds before people show up. "How to unclog garbage disposal" and "why is my toilet making that noise" are now my most searched terms. I'm watching repair videos at 2x speed while people wait in my hallway expecting miracles. I just fixed one of the neighbors the sink by literally just tightening a loose connection I found in a 5 minute video and he gave me $40 and a bottle of wine.

tldr accidentally became the building handyman after fixing one squeaky door now everyone shows up with broken stuff and I’m just googling tutorials 30 seconds before answering the door pretending I know what I’m doing while youtube carries my entire reputation

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. ...
