TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by showering at the wrong time

This was a few months ago. It was my day off and the only thing I had to do was pick my girlfriend up from work at 9:00 pm. Other than that, I was free to loaf on the couch from morning to night, which is what I did. Around 8:00, I decided to shower before I left the house. Now, I have short hair that dries pretty quickly, but I am deeply vain about it, so I always dry it with the hairdryer right after I shower to ensure my hair doesn't get flat and weird. I never skip this step. So, I get out of the shower, start drying my hair...

And then I wake up in bed. It's half an hour later. I feel like garbage, my entire body mysteriously hurts, and I am slowly realizing that I don't remember exiting the bathroom. My only clear thought is: "oh shit, it's 9:00! I have to pick up my girlfriend! Better shake myself awake." I dragged my aching carcass back to the bathroom, and this was when I noticed the massive blisters forming all over my hand. I was still pretty out of it, but I knew that this was a hospital visit kind of burn. My girlfriend then called to check in because I was running late and, despite my undoubtedly convincing argument that I was still perfectly fine to drive, she immediately knew something was wrong. She cabbed home and we got a ride to the ER.

Turns out, I had my first ever seizure! It seems like during the seizure, I clenched the hairdryer in my fist and had it pointed at my other hand long enough to thoroughly cook it. The tissue loss is pretty deep in some areas and there was concerns about me retaining my mobility, but it's been healing well so far.

If I had showered at any other time, I probably would have been reclining on a soft surface when I seized. Instead, it had to happen while doing the only possibly risky activity I could muster up the energy for that day (aside from picking my girlfriend up; thank christ I wasn't driving). In the end, we spent 10 hours in the ER between all the scans and tests, I was bedridden for almost a month, my license was suspended, and I'll have some gnarly scars for the rest of my life.

TL;DR: Spent the whole day in the safest possible position to have a seizure. Had a seizure during the 5 minutes it takes to dry my hair, resulting in severe burns.

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. ...
