TIFU by forgetting my passport

i thought i was organized traveler, i really did, turns oud im wrong and loud.

this happened yesterday. me and my gf(yes gf) always wanted to go for a big trip and that time has finally come. ive been preparing for two weeks for this trip spreadsheets. color coded packing list. printed boarding passes even though it’s 2026 and nobody does that.

i packed everything. every little small thing that might be needed. guess what i forgot.

we get to the check in desk. the agent smiles and asks for passports.

i confidently reach into my backpack. front pocket.not there. side pocket.not there.

i do that fake calm laugh and say hold on one sec. unzip every compartment like the passport is gonna magically spawn.

nothing.

and then i remember it.

i left it on my kitchen counter. i can literally picture it sitting next to the stupid plant i always forget to water.

boarding starts in 35 minutes. our apartment is 40 minutes away without traffic.

i try to think of loopholes. can i use my driver’s license. no. can someone send a photo. no. can i bribe someone. also no.

she tells me to just go home and grab it. i say there’s no way. she says try.

so i sprint out of the airport like i just committed a crime. call an uber. tell the driver i will tip stupid if he drives like were in gone in sixty seconds.

we hit every red light.

i get home. passport exactly where i left it. staring at me. judging me.

back to the airport. sweating. praying.

we missed flight by 15 minutes. 15...

TL;DR: thought of myself as a prepared traveler, forgot my passport at home, missed my international flight by 15 minutes and paid for it. literally.

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...
