TIFU by asking my coworker if her friend was her mom in front of both of them...

This happened a few days ago. My work paid for a +1 event at a sports game. I remember hearing that my coworker usually came to the games with her dad, so I believe this contributed to the mental gymnastics that my brain decided to perform... I saw my coworker with with a girl and convinced myself that this was her mom because, of course she could only possibly be there with one of her parents, right? Totally......

I had a couple of drinks and I was super tired after a long work week, so this didn't help me maintain my normal social filter. When I stopped by where my coworker and her friend were sitting, instead of introducing my myself like a normal human being, I decided to ask my coworker, "is this your mom?" right in front of both of them. I am just...so stupid sometimes...

My coworker laughed it off thankfully. She imitated her friend saying, "I'm leaving!" and replied to me, "No, haha... this is my friend." I apologized profusely and explained that I thought she always came with her family for some reason, so that's why I thought that. I knew that still didn't really make any sense and said, "I'm sorry... I'm dumb..." My coworker was super nice and said, "Oh yeah, well I do usually come with my dad, that's true. But yeah, this is my friend."

Immediately after the exchange, I died a little on the inside. I realized, not only did I just imply that my coworker's friend looked old enough to be her mom, but I also feel like I came off as racist because they are both Asian. I also have never heard my coworker mention her mom before so I have no idea if her mom is around. Definitely not my proudest moment :(...

At least my coworker and I get along well at work and I'm usually really mindful of what I say, so I think she knows I'm not usually that insensitive. Her friend didn't really react or respond much though... rightfully so. I just really hope her friend's feelings weren't actually hurt by my stupidity. I'm also just scared of doing something like that again. Thankfully my boyfriend is great and consoled me in saying that my coworker and her friend probably forgot about it immediately.

TL;DR: I asked if my coworker's friend was her mom in front of both of them, implying that I thought she looked old and that all Asians look alike. HUGE oof.

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 ...
