TIFU by accidentally locking myself out while taking out the trash in pajamas

Today I fucked up, although technically this happened last night.

It was around 11 PM and I decided to take out the trash before going to bed. I was already in pajamas and didn’t bother putting on proper clothes because the dumpsters are just outside my building. I grabbed the trash bag, stepped out, and pulled the door shut behind me without thinking.

The moment I heard the click I realized my keys were still inside.

My phone too.

I just stood there for a few seconds in flip flops and pajamas hoping somehow the door hadn’t fully locked, but of course it had.

At first I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. I rang a few doorbells in the building, but apparently everyone either sleeps early or ignores late-night ringing. I even knocked on the building manager's door but got nothing.

So there I was, standing outside in pajamas and slippers at almost midnight trying to figure out what to do. It was colder than I expected and I started seriously regretting not bringing my phone.

After about 40 minutes a neighbor finally came back from walking his dog and let me into the building. The problem was my apartment door was still locked.

I ended up sitting on the stairs for another hour before another neighbor helped me contact the landlord.

The landlord arrived around 1:30 AM looking half asleep and not very impressed.

He unlocked the door in about five seconds.

I went inside and immediately saw my keys sitting exactly where I left them on the kitchen counter.

TL;DR: Took out the trash in pajamas without keys or phone and ended up locked out for almost 3 hours.

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...
