TIFU by deleting all my kids baby photos

It’s taking me a bit to actually face this truth. If I think about it too much I’ll break down crying but I’ve been pushing it out of my mind.

When my one and only child was baby, I look hundreds of photos. So much that my Mac book’s memory disk was full. So when I needed my laptop when I went back to finish school, I had to delete stuff. I very carefully moved the all the photos from the first two years of my kid’s life to a 1tb hard drive. Then, deleted them off my MacBook, then didn’t think about it for a decade. Whenever the photos crossed my mind, I’d think “they are safe on a hard drive somewhere.”

Today, I went looking for that hard drive…. I found it, the hard drive was EMPTY. There were a couple hard drives there too that have things like my grandparents black and white family photos. That one was there and had photos. But the one that was supposed to have my kids photos was completely empty. It’s my only child and I’m a single mom and have always been. His dad has some photos but they are photos of when our child was with him at his families house, -so photos of my little one and I at our house are gone. Like their first few steps with me.* first holidays with me*. These photos are pictures of when it was just the two of us. I was sooo young and poor and on my own and these photos showed how happy we were regardless. We have had such a long journey the two of us. Those photos marked when my life changed for the better. I did everything to get us where we are and these photos showed how happy we were with nothing. Ughhh I can’t talk about to much without getting emotionally overwhelmed.

I’m completely in denial. I’m telling myself “I’ll get those photos back somehow” because if I accept the truth, that those precious two years of watching him develop are truly gone, my heart will break.

TLDR, TIFU by realizing I deleted all the baby photos of my only kid when I mistakenly thought I backed them up on an external harddrive ten years ago. 💔

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.
