TIFU by borrowing someone’s car for 5 min & blowing the transmission

This happened a few years ago but I had to share it because to this day I still can't believe it happened to me.

I was at church and I started talking to this cute boy who I had seen a few time before this. We realized that we lived at the same apartment complex and I found out he drove an older (2006) Honda Civic stick shift. I learned how to drive on a stick shift and it had been a few years since I had driven one so I asked if we could trade cars for the quick drive back to our apartment complex after services ended. Since we were bantering back and forth a little he agreed but jokingly made me pinky promise I would give him my car if anything happened to his. I of course agreed since I knew nothing would happen. Boy was I wrong. He drove off before me and I eventually followed, slowly getting used to driving stick shift again. Within a minute or two I was feeling confident as ever and stupidly started filming a video of my driving adventure. As I went to shift, I didn't get it in the right gear and heard some grinding. No matter, I had done that in previous cars and it had never been an issue. Well that quickly proved not to be the case this time. Almost immediately the car started slowing down and wouldn't accelerate when I pushed the gas. I pulled to the side of the road and tried restarting it to no avail. Words cannot describe the absolute dread and embarrassment I felt as I had to call this boy and asked if it was a normal thing for his car not to run properly. He quickly drove back to me and after trying to start it himself, we determined it was completely broken. We drove back to our complex in my car where we parted ways to call our respective father's to see what they thought we should do. In the end he ended up having to have the car towed to a mechanic who replaced the transmission because I guess in the 5 minutes of me driving I had blown it. Never have I been so embarrassed in my life.

The only plus side to this story is that I became this guy's personal uber driver while his car was in the shop which got us talking more. He told me I could repay him by taking him out to dinner which I happily did and now 4 years later we are married with a one year old. And no, he still hasn't let me live this down. The End.

TL;DR I borrowed a boy’s car for a 5 minute drive, blew the transmission, died of embarrassment, and then married him a couple years later.

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. ...
