TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by actually trying to teach a girl guitar

Obligatory: this was ~20 years ago

Back when I'd been playing guitar for about 2 years, I (16F) was incorrectly confident in my abilities. However, a girl (15F, who I will call Sara) that went to a different high school made friends with me on MySpace and really wanted to learn. I asked Sara if there was anything she wanted to learn and she said she wanted to learn some Buckcherry song so I learned it as best as I could but printed out the guitar tabs (essentially noob sheet music) just in case. She then invited me over to her place that weekend and I accepted, my parents told me to be careful though.

It was know at the time that I am lesbian and she deemed it relevant so the day before she messages me "my parents won't be home, but I'm watching my younger brother, no funny business ;P". Being absolutely respectful (and not wanting to be a predatory gay) I respond "oh of course not, wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable." I had no plans to hit on her, since all she asked for a guitar lesson.

Day of, I pack up my acoustic guitar, the tabs, an extra tuner, and head to her address...which she did not mention was on the military base. They ask who I'm there to see and all I have is her first name "Uhhhh...Sara? She's my age and uhhhh..." so the privates at the gate turn me away. I spend about an hour trying to reach her but I didn't have a cell phone or enough money for the payphone at the nearby gas station for a long distance call (she had an out of town area code). The pay phone operator took pitty on me and patched me through anyways and she calls the guys at the gate to let me through and then meets me part way to her place to make sure I don't get lost.

After getting in, she reminds me that her brother is upstairs and not to "make a move or anything, it'd be weird haha." I just smile and laugh, then the lesson begins with me teaching her how to tune and showing her some basic thing. I was a little all over the place since it was my first ever time giving a lesson but I thought it was generally informative. About 40 minutes in the lesson, she starts to get ancy and says, "oh look at the time, you should get out of here before my parents get home." I was a little confused because she said we'd have two hours to learn as I arrived but I was in a stranger's home so I took my leave.

She messages me the next day on MySpace, "y'know, I was kinda hoping you'd make a move, I was kind of into you :'(". She blocked me before I could explain.

TL;DR: In high school, a girl I was friends with on MySpace asked for a guitar lesson, which I. Turns out she was looking for romance despite repeatedly saying "don't make a move." She blocked me afterwards.

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. ...
