TIFU by faking being smooth at work and accidentally lost my own job

So I workED at this small car dealership in Reno, Nevada. Nothing fancy just me three other sales guys, and our manager Rick who thinks he is a wolf of wall street but drives a busted Tacoma

We got this new receptionist last month. 22, quiet always reading during lunch. I decided I was gonna be that mysterious confident dude not the usual clown version of me. I watched a bunch of cringe alpha male garbage and thought yeah less talking, more eye contact act like I have options.

Here is where I cooked myself

I started ignoring her on purpose like full on hot and cold. One day super friendly next day barely looking at her I thought it would make me seem busy and high value or whatever

Instead she went to Rick and said I was making her uncomfortable.

I did not even know that part yet

yesterday Rick calls me into his office. He has this weird disappointed dad face he tells me there has been feedback about my behavior. says I am acting hostile and creating tension.

I panic my brain goes into survival mode. Instead of saying sorry and explaining I was just being awkward and stupid I double down.

I tell him she is the one acting weird and maybe she is projecting because she likes me yes I actually said that.

Rick just stared at me like I had grown a second head. He tells me this is not high school and that he cannot have drama in the front office.

This morning I get called in again. They are letting me go. Official reason not a good culture fit

All because I tried to play some dumb psychological game instead of just being normal.

TL;DR: Tried to act mysterious and hot and cold to impress a coworker she reported me I blamed her, now I am unemployed

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...
