TIFU by replying to a work email too confidently

This didn’t happen today but a couple days ago and I’m still cringing. I work remotely and most of our communication is through Slack and email. A manager from another department sent a long message asking about some numbers in a report I helped put together. It was worded in a way that sounded like something was wrong. I glanced at it quickly between tasks and thought, “Oh, they’re just confused.” Without double checking anything, I replied with way too much confidence. Something along the lines of: “Those numbers are correct. I think you might be looking at an outdated version.” I even attached what I believed was the latest file. About 20 minutes later my actual manager messages me privately: “Hey… did you check the formula in column F?” I had not. Turns out when I duplicated a sheet earlier in the week, one of the formulas was referencing the wrong row. So yes — the numbers were wrong. Very wrong. Like thousands off wrong. The worst part? The entire thread now had four people CC’d, including someone from finance. And my very confident “the numbers are correct” reply was sitting there. I had to send a follow-up email admitting the mistake and explaining the correction. The finance guy just replied with: “Thanks for clarifying.” Which somehow felt worse than if he’d said anything else. Now I reread every email three times before hitting send. TL;DR: Replied confidently to a work email saying the numbers were correct. They were not.

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.
