TIFU by not drinking enough water with vitamins

This morning was a real cluster between getting myself ready for work and wrangling a cranky toddler with intense separation anxiety and a festering grudge because I've been betraying him this week by trying to make him sleep in his own bed. We were running late but in a moment of mom self care I decided I could still take my vitamins on our way out the door because surely I had 0.2 seconds to spare for myself. So I chugged them with a little water.

Too little, as it turned out.

I take a multivitamin and a turmeric supplement, and as you can imagine the latter has a kick to it. Any other day that manifests as a slight aftertaste. But while I was driving my kid to daycare I felt a sudden, urgent need to vomit accompanied by my mouth being on fire. There was no time to pull over and we were already late as it was, so cue the turmeric self-ejecting from my body. All over my scrubs, lunch bag on the passenger seat, and car dashboard. It tingled, but worse than that, I knew it was going to stain badly because hello, turmeric.

We get to daycare and I try to mop up my face and clothes the best I can with baby wipes, all while my kid is whining to get let out of the car seat and judging me with his eyes.

I made it to work barely on time and borrowed a pair of scrubs from the hospital stash so no one would know my shame. But you bet that I will never skimp on my vitamin drinking water ever again because everything fabric based that got hit is totaled. Don't make my mistake.

TL;DR: if you're going to be fancy and take vitamins, at least do it properly with enough liquids to get them past your throat

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...
