TIFU by assuming my mop was broken

This FU unfolded over the course of the last two weeks. It all started when I got home to a mess on my floors. I sprang into action and grabbed my swiffer wetjet to dispatch with the mess, when I noticed it wasn't spraying despite having just refilled the juice. I looked up how to replace the batteries, assuming this must be the malfunction, and put four batteries in the mop that I found still in the pack in my bedroom. Much to my chagrin, the spray button still wasn't working, so I assumed the mop itself must be broken and upgraded my house to the swiffer powermop via a timely amazon order. I also got to work cleaning the mess manually since the new mop wouldn't be to me anytime soon.

Fast forward to today, I got a new deadbolt for my back door. Since the members of my household are terrible at keeping track of keys, I opted for one of the electric ones with a pinpad that allows you to come and go key free. After searching for batteries and finding none, I suddenly remembered the four new batteries just hanging out in the forgotten swiffer wetjet in my kitchen. However, once I installed them in the door all was not well. The indicators kept flashing red and I realized my FU.

Those batteries must've made their way back into the pack after being discarded from some other device, likely my toothbrush. One store trip and a pack of new batteries later and the new lock was firing on all cylinders, along with my once forgotten wetjet. In all my FU cost me 30$ for the new mop, and an enhanced mopping solution for my home. What a world!

TL;DR: I assumed my batteries were good and ordered a new mop on that belief, only to find out it was not the mop all along.

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 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.
