TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by pricing a concert ticket.

So, I live in Canada, and I love Neil Young. My son (M21) and is learning to appreciate Neil Young. He likes some songs and knows that Neil is a part of Canadian culture and also the 60d and 70s protest songs.

So, Neil is playing a show on my birthday this year. My son is attending a year round specialtyc college program and works 5-15 hours a week. He offered to get us tickets to Neil Young for my birthday. This is a large expenditure, and I've already said yes that's fine for birthday and Christmas. He then told me that with exchange it was nearly $600 dollars.

With exchange? I was puzzled. We are seeing a concert in Canada why was he charged American funds?

He showed me how he bought the tickets through an American vendor. I showed him Ticketmaster and the tickets were $120.00 each, Canadian (plus tax and Ticketmaster averice fees)

Now he said "What was the point of that? To make me feel shitty about your birthday? " then stood up andtook his lunch into his room. I feel like shit.

TL; DR: Today I fucked up by showing my 21 year old son he overpaid for my birthday present concert tickets. He is now angry and feels like I have ruined his grand gesture.

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. ...
