TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by Napping After Taking Antibiotics

I have a mild lung infection so on Tuesday my doc gave me a week run of antibiotics to try kill it off. My cat has been very worried about me and keeps nipping at my hands or licking my face until I lay down, so after my evening dose yesterday I laid down on the couch and let him curl up on my stomach and have a little nap together.

We chilled for a few hours until it was time for bed. As soon as I stood up I noticed my back hurt pretty bad but I blamed that on the couch. Once I got upstairs to bed though it was obvious that everything hurt. My chest felt like I'd been punched, my back was screaming, my stomach hurt. I took some medicine and told my husband to go to bed and I'd come up when I felt better.

I did not feel better. I proceeded to flop about like a fish in agonizing pain until I realized it was 1 AM and I was getting worse. I called the emergency health line and the triage nurse said, "hey so bad chest pain is dangerous go to a damn hospital." Paraphrased. Pulled my husband out of bed and got to emergency by 2 am. I was at pain level 8 or 9 by that point, and they gave me an IV (but no meds) which like. Also fucking oww.

Unfortunately the hospital was understaffed and also randomly overrun with dying people (the nurse was frazzled) so I only saw a doctor at 9 am. At that point I'd been awake over 24 hours and like 10 hours in "please end it all" pain so I was barely coherent. The doctor listened to my story, gave me a few painful jabs in the stomach and told me, "you can't lay down after you take antibiotics, that's how you badly damaged your stomach lining and esophagus with stomach acid."

Got some pain relief finally and just about cried from that, then they removed my IV and like, fucking OWW, way worse than putting it in.

Got home at 11 am, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and just woke up feeling like a zombie.

On the plus side my heart is in A+ condition.

TL;DR: Turns out you can cause actual damage to your insides if you lay down right after taking antibiotics. I didn't know that and spent 7 hours in the hospital in various kinds of horrible agony.

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. ...
