TIFU by throwing away raw shrimp before going out of town, leading to the inside of my mom’s car getting soaked

I (22 M) share an apartment with my mother where we split rent and utilities, so we’re obviously both adults. And I absolutely should have known better, but i wasn’t really thinking. For context, I work a warehouse job that should be 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, but due to understaffing, we’ve been working 10 hours a day, almost every day, for basically as long as I’ve worked there, and my drive is just under an hour both ways. Sometimes more on the ride home if there’s traffic. Because of this, I often get home super late, and with not much time or energy to do much of anything. ESPECIALLY cooking. This is relevant. About a week ago, was set to drive out of state to see my girlfriend (we’re long distance) after my shift at work. Now, I LOVE seafood. Most of all, shrimp. It’s always been one of my favorite foods, but I didn’t get to eat it all that much growing up since my mom has hated seafood basically for as long as I’ve been alive. With me now having grown into an adult who ...

TIFU by leaving juice out at work

I worked a double bartending last night and forgot to put away some juices (lemon, lime, and OJ). This is totally my bad and unlike me. Usually I’ve been praised by management for being one of the more cleanly bartenders, often using my free time to clean up after my coworkers. I didn’t realize I left them out, so I was surprised when my boss sent a text in the coworkers group chat with a picture of the juice left out saying that they need people to cooperate with putting things away and that it’s costing my boss money and attracting flies. I felt really bad, although I would like to note that we have flies even when things aren’t left out. There are sinks behind the bar and my coworkers use it to dump out drinks, but they don’t clean them. So the fruit flies end up casing the sink and by the time I get there in the mornings I get swarmed by them. This prompts me to deep clean the sinks at the beginning of every shift because it’s gross. Additionally, I think I’m the only employee that...

TIFU by selling a brand new iPhone 18 pro max as $1400 worth of light bulbs.

So for some context, I'm Australian and work for one of a few big tech retailers here in Australia. The iPhone 18 pro and pro max launch has been busy for us, but nothing bad. I'm mainly on the counter transacring sales, not selling items. I've been with the company 3 years now and haven't majorly fucked up. Yet. Come into work this morning and my managers are investigating a variance for one of said brand new phones that popped up yesterday. To transact a sale we have to load it up from a list, or scan it from a docket that's been printed off with the sale details. Lately people haven't been printing them, but we can just load the salw up so it's okay. I sold a $2000 + iPhone as $1412 worth of smart lightbulbs because I loaded the wrong sale and didn't realise. Management were much more chill about it than I'd thought they'd be and we've fixed the docket but still, I feel awful. TL;DR: I suck at reading and some guy got a brand new iPh...

TIFU I’m pregnant again, 2+ years of risky sex after I was told I couldn’t get pregnant

Okay so I, 30 F, was told almost 3 years ago that I most likely wouldn’t be able to get pregnant due to PCOS. Turns out that wasn’t true and 8 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I had an abortion and moved on with my life, but since then I’ve had increasingly more risky sex. Part of me thought it was just a flook because like what the hell, my doctor was so sure??? So after 2+ years of letting guys cum in me and not getting pregnant, not like a lot…I’m not a slut, it’s happened again. My fucked up brain is like, “phew okay great now I know I can in fact get pregnant so enough of that.” I feel like subconsciously I’ve been trying to get pregnant again this entire time even though I 100000% don’t want/am not ready to have a baby. I also told this guy that I was on BC even though I’m not so really I can only be mad at myself…TL;DR: Now I have to make an appointment

TIFU by remembering the time I made my grandmother return bd gifts as a kid

I was maybe 13 or 14 and my grandmother got me dynasty warriors 8 empires I loved it i played it a lot so for my bd my grandmother got me a whole bunch of other dynasty warriors games and blade something nightmare, I straight up said I already have those games I don't want them and had her return them, sure I was a kid but I still feel like shit about it because I know now I would've loved them and I spit in her face and made her return my gifts she says she doesn't mind nowadays but I still feel horrible it was a really good gift and I treated her like shit. Also the time my grandfather came to pick me up from school and I chose to play with my friends and didn't tell him and he was sitting there hour half an hour or more worried and waiting for me Now it's all eating at me the guilt and my days off are now ruined TL;DR: I made my grandmother return bd gifts as a kid i just remembered doing it and my whole day is ruined because I can't stop thinking about...

TIFU by forgetting to remove a trans flag in my whatsapp pfp

I am a transmasc, and have a transmasc flag as my whatsapp pfp. I go to a girl's school, and uhh I forgot to change the pfp, because ya know, i'm kinda forgetful. People started to catch on about my pfp, and realized that im trans. so now there are two camps: one camp think sthat i was born with a penis and then chopped it off, another thinks that i got a penis surgically attached to me. The rumour spread like wildfire, and I didn't catch on until it was way too late. Couldn't hide the rumours anymore. By monday, the school will have caught on, and they'll definitely tell my parents. This would be fine if i 1) didn't go to a girls school and 2) didnt have transphobic parents... oh well isnt ny luck ROTTEN!!! TL;DR: people found out that i am transmasc, rumour spreading like wildfire, and my family is gonna find out.

TIFU by telling my best friend I hooked up with his mom

I had stopped drinking alcohol for a while, but yesterday was my best friend Sam's (fake name) birthday. Since it was his birthday, a bunch of us went over to his place to celebrate. Sam's dad left him and his mom about six years ago, so it's just been the two of them since then. After around four months of not drinking, I decided to have a few drinks because Sam insisted. The problem was, Sam gave me way more alcohol than I should've had, and he was pretty drunk himself. Everyone was drinking, and eventually people started leaving until it was just me and Sam. We started talking about random stuff, and eventually he told me that his mom was thinking about getting married again. Sam wasn't okay with it. While we were talking about it, I stupidly said something like, "Honestly, I think your mom should get married again. She probably needs someone too." Then, because I was extremely drunk and apparently had completely lost my filter, I told him tha...
