TIFU by double ordering lunch for a conference

i ordered catering for lunch for a conference from restaurant X a little more than a week in advance. a few days before the conference, i randomly get an email saying the delivery for my order was canceled without any explanation. so i order catering from a different place that my coworkers really like that is more expensive.

conference happens and i get a call and i answer it asking if it's lunch. the person on the phone says yes, restaurant X is here. im SHOCKED bcause well... i got an email informing me that the delivery was canceled and the delivery person was adamant that he did not make a mistake, he says my full name and said the address and said he had a car full of food, they didn't cancel the order, and our card was charged. i meet them outside and show him the email and he calls his boss. me and his boss go back and forth with his boss saying they didn't cancel anything and me saying i got an email saying it was canceled. i read him the email word for word. to which the delivery drivers boss says, that just means the delivery is canceled not the order. i am DUMBFOUNDED and at an UTTER loss for words because that is so WILDLY MISLEADING. also, they are literally delivering my order right in front of me so what fucking gives??? and the delivery drivers boss explains that restaurant X cancelling the delivery meant that restaurant X themselves would not be delivering the order, instead a third party would be delivering it (the third party being the delivery driver i was speaking with). i continue to be dumbfounded (and terrified that our CFO and those in upper management would be mad at me for spending an extra $4.3k on food). we of course take the food and i really tried my hardest to not get mad at the delivery driver because it's not their fault they're just delivering it.

second lunch order comes. so we just have double lunch catering. we have conference participants bring it back home/to their jobs. people are SO happy.

no one is mad at me (yet - i haven't talked directly with our CFO yet but others have). my coworkers told me they would've made the same mistake i did in assuming if my delivery was canceled that meant my order was canceled.

TL;DR - ordered catering for a conference. got an email saying the delivery canceled so i ordered at a different place. both catering orders showed up. i cost my company an extra $4.3k on food

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. ...
