TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by lashing out at my work buddy

I recently joined a new workplace and have a crush on a girl in my team. We’re trying to be friends. I share a desk with my desk buddy, who is good friends with my crush. There’s also another girl who’s friend to my crush. I’m not sure, but I think my crush might be seeing someone outside work or may have a crush on my desk buddy.

The three often hang out together during coffee and lunch breaks. I’ve been trying hard to join them, and today I asked my crush and the other girl to join me for lunch, but they politely declined. So, I ate with other colleagues. While eating, I noticed the trio at another table and felt jealous. I wanted to talk to my desk buddy about it but didn’t.

Later, my desk buddy tried to take a funny photo of me, and I lashed out, telling him he didn’t have my permission. I’m uncomfortable with random photos, especially with concerns about privacy and AI misuse. My crush noticed and didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day.

After work, I apologized to my desk buddy and asked if we could talk. He said he didn’t understand why I was upset and was hurt by my reaction. I admitted I could have been more polite.

I messed up by lashing out and upsetting both my crush and desk buddy. Things feel awkward and beyond repair right now, and I don’t want to talk to anyone at work. I just want some sense and strength to handle this.

TL;DR: I have a crush on a coworker who hangs out with my desk buddy and another girl. I tried joining them for lunch but got turned down, which made me jealous. Later, I got upset when my desk buddy took a photo of me without asking, and I lashed out. This upset both of them, and now things are awkward at work. I’m struggling to handle it and want to make things right.

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. ...
