TIFU by making folks think I was housing insecure and got a few free lunches out of it.

Obligatory it wasn’t today it was last summer.

I drove a couple hundred miles to an awesome fishing spot in Seward Alaska for the weekend to catch some Sockeye Salmon.

My car radiator exploded 75 miles or so out of town around midnight on a stretch of road with zero cell phone service.

I put on my hazards and hoped for the best. I was really lucky a state worker drove by and followed me all the way into town while I kept stopping to fill the radiator with water (the cap was bad so wouldn’t seal).

Of course I drove right to the fishing hole and went right to work fishing. Got my limit for the day and limped my car into town and made it to the repair shop. They got to work fixing the problem but it was going to be a few days for parts and labor so I was stuck in Seward for a while.

I had my dog, all my fishing gear and my beach wagon I use when fishing on the beach to get all my gear around.

So I loaded up the wagon, and hoofed it into town, leaving my car at the shop.

I had a large mason jar of food and water for the pup and just a hodge podge of gear in my wagon.

I want planning on staying at all it was supposed to be a drive up then drive back the next day kind of deal so I didn’t have much in the way of a change of clothes etc.

So the next few days consisted of me wondering around town with my dog and wagon in tow, fishing, hanging out on the beach, and just going with the flow.

I had a little routine and would walk up, grab coffee and a bite and go sit up on the bench by the boardwalk. I started to see the same tourists over and over again, and I guess most of them decided I was a local house less person with my little dog fishing to get a meal on the table because I was just pretty much wondering around town ALL day, and cooking meals on the beach grills.

So I was sitting with my coffee and dog with her bowl of water out and a family came up and had a meal for me from the restaurant across the street, they were super nice but just said we’ve seen you around and thought you could use a hot meal…..well who am I to refuse a free meal?? I thanked them and they walked away looking really content, I figured it was a one off but I was mistaken.

Next day, same situation, different family, different restaurant, and this time they had also brought a box of dog treats for my pup, saying they had seen the family yesterday and thought they would pitch in…..At this point I couldn’t (well I could have) explained my situation but I didn’t want to make them feel bad so again I took the meal and thanked them.

Apparently word spreads fast as the coffee shop folks when I went by the next AM told me my coffee and snack was on the house at this point I decided this was my life and went with the flow.

Four days later my car was fixed, I enjoyed my free meals, coffee and snacks and got a whole new appreciation for the kindness that some humans hold.

TL;DR- my car broke down while I was out of town and because people saw me wondering around all day with a wagon full of belongings, a cooler full of fish and my dog in tow they thought I was a local houseless person (which I KIND of was) and had more than one family stop and give me meals out of the kindness of their hearts.

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.
