TIFU by accidentally ruining my friend’s proposal surprise

This happened today. And yes, I still feel like an absolute idiot. I have a friend — let’s call him Artem. For the past few months, he’s been planning to propose to his girlfriend. I knew about it because I helped him pick out the ring. He made it very clear: Don’t tell anyone. Especially not her. Today the four of us met up at a café — me, my girlfriend, Artem, and his girlfriend. Just a normal hangout. At some point she starts joking: Everyone around us is getting engaged or married… Mine will probably need five more years to even think about it. We all laugh. And this is where my brain decided to completely betray me. Trying to support my friend, I smiled and said: No, he just wants everything to be perfect. You don’t rush things like that. Silence. She looks at him. He looks at me. I can physically feel my stomach drop. She asks: What things? And instead of smoothly changing the subject like a normal person… I start awkwardly backtracking. Well you kno important things Artem is basically burning a hole through my skull with his eyes. She figured it out. About an hour later she texted my girlfriend: Is he planning something? Did you know? The proposal was supposed to happen next week. Restaurant, photographer, friends hiding nearby — the whole thing. Now she’s pretending she doesn’t know. But she obviously knows. And Artem told me the moment just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I didn’t mean to ruin anything. I was just trying to sound like a supportive friend. Instead, I became the guy who ruined one of the most important moments of his life. TL;DR: Tried to casually support my friend, accidentally hinted at his upcoming proposal, and ruined the surprise.

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 making chili and having an itch

I’ve been trying to expand my culinary horizons and am thinking about enrolling in culinary school to follow a passion instead of my daily slog. I picked out some recipes and decided to try and kick up chili a little bit, adding some extra chiles and hobaneros. I finished my prep during my lunch break and cleaned up. Fast forward about two hours, my boy bits had began to itch a little, and without thinking I reached in to itch the little guy and suddenly the fires of hell were unleashed upon an extra sausage today. As the heat rises I scramble to think of ways to soothe my flaming frankfurter. First thought was, “Milk helps right?” So I wrapped in a cloth soaked in what I was hoping to be delightful dairy relief but instead only delayed the burn until the air touched it again. As I unwrap the milk the sides head are now a deep shade of purple that started to have me concerned. In a clutch I call out to my google home in search of some great wisdom on how to relieve the burn. “Mar...
