TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by accidentally sending a text meant for my friend to my boss

I've been dealing with some serious workplace drama lately. My coworker got promoted over me even though I've been here longer and have way more experience, plus they've been making these passive aggressive comments ever since. I was texting my best friend last night to vent about the whole situation. I typed out this long message that ended with "honestly this place is a complete shitshow and I can't wait to find something else" and hit send. Then I see the little notification that says delivered and glance up to see I'm in a text thread with my mananger mike not my friend mike. My friend mike is saved as Mike F but my boss is just Mike and apparently my brain just picked the wrong one.

I immediately felt my soul leave my body. Like that cold wash of panic when you realize you've done something catastrophically stupid. I stared at my phone for probably five full minutes hoping it would somehow unsend itself.
Had to go into work this morning knowing he definitely saw it. Sure enough he pulled me into his office first thing and we had the most awkward conversation of my entire life. He was weirdly cool about it though like just said he appreciated my honesty and asked if there was anything we should talk about. I'm pretty sure I'm on thin ice now but at least

TL;DR: Sent a text calling my workplace a shitshow to my boss instead of my friend. Still employed but barely.

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. ...
