TIFU by accidentally stealing a hooker’s tip

TIFU by accidentally stealing a hooker’s tip

This didn’t happen today, but years ago when my husband and I were still dating.

First, some cultural context because this might not be the same everywhere.

Where I’m from, hotels are normal hotels: you book a room, stay with your family, get breakfast, the usual stuff.

Motels, however, are… different. They’re basically designed for couples who want privacy to have sex. Rooms are often decorated in very creative ways, the TV channels are mostly porn, and the food and drinks are ridiculously overpriced. You can just show up, rent a room for a few hours, and leave.

They’re cheaper than regular hotels, so technically you can stay there just to sleep… but if you do, there’s a good chance you’ll hear the neighbors enthusiastically testing the structural integrity of the bed.

Anyway.

At the time, my boyfriend (now husband) and I worked at the same company. It was the end-of-year office party, and it went very late. We didn’t had a car, and public transportation stops running after a certain hour, so getting home would’ve been a pain.

We decided it would be easier (and cheaper) to stay at a motel near the party and our workplace. The plan was simple: sleep a bit, maybe enjoy the room for its intended purpose, and go to work the next day.

My boyfriend had to start work earlier than me, so he left first while I stayed behind sleeping off the party.

Later that morning I woke up, showered, put on clean clothes, and went to the front desk to check out. My boyfriend had already paid for the room, so all I had to do was hand over the keys.

The receptionist smiled at me… and discreetly slid about $10 across the counter.

My extremely hungover brain saw free money and did not question it for a single second. I said thank you, wished her a good day, and left.

About 20 minutes later, while walking to work, it finally hit me.

I had checked out alone from a motel that is mostly used for quick hookups.

She didn’t think I was the girlfriend.

She thought I was a hooker who had brought my client there.

And she had just given me my tip.

So yeah… that day I accidentally stole money that was probably meant for a sex worker.

TL;DR: Stayed at a motel. Receptionist assumed I was a prostitute and tipped me, and I accepted.

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 jackin' it in the shower

Out of town at a hotel for a conference, high speed Internet and mobile phone in hand, step into the dry shower at the end of a long day at work downstairs. Using the provided lube (conditioner), my work was done in short order. I then turned on the shower to warm up and went back into the main room to put down my phone. Here's the fuck up- we all know, or should, that the best way to clean a protein-rich, goopy substance, does not involve hot water. In fact, hot water just leaves the slippery proteins while washing away the water soluble parts. Forgetting this, I boldly stride into the glass-walled shower only to nearly break my damn legs and neck as I slid in from one side to the other on what felt like warm ice, barely catching myself on the shower grip handles. Now my foot hurts. TL;DR: masturbated in shower and slipped on my own hot load, nearly hurting myself very badly.

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
