When generations of a family are brought to their knees over a kid's biology assignment, it's pretty safe to say that the foundations of the family house of cards were a little bit shaky to begin with. This situation plays out pretty much exactly the same as Ned Stark pouring over the Baratheon lineage and realizing the thing that was right in front of everyone's noses... So, that's why Uncle Carl looks different to Aunt Suzy, who looks way different from Cousin John. It turns out they're the p…

Everyone has had that moment of panic on Zoom when you thought you were on mute but you weren't.

Car sharing is a brilliant idea — you can rent out your car for others to use while you're not using the car yourself. As a car owner, you make some cash, and as a customer, you can drive a car that's already located near to you, without having to deal with a typical rental service. What could go wrong? It's just one of many new services run by apps in today's modern age. But since it is a rather new idea, there are still some kinks that need to be straightened out. Just check out the story of…

One employee experienced an office worker's worst nightmare — accidentally sharing a snarky email with their boss . It's never been easier to send a text or email. You can type anything up on your phone, and send it in just a few clicks. So you have to be super careful what you write , just in case it accidentally happens to get sent. U/kpmurphy56 explained in their TIFU post that morale has been low at their workplace in the aftermath of numerous layoffs. So when they got an email from the bos…

There are lots of things that would stink to hear as feedback from a first date . One guy experienced the shame first hand, naming it among the most embarrassing things to ever happen to him, especially because he really liked this woman . He claims she showed interest in him even when others didn't. But as the OP shared, he truly and spectacularly bombed this first date in numerous ways, and we're cringing hard for him. Read all about this poor guy's first date mistake that he will definitely…

A nosy colleague got this fast food worker booted from their job. The unfortunate worker shared their story with r/TIFU, home of stories of all kinds of eff ups. As they write, they used to work at a fast food joint, where they served all kinds of customers, including an older couple who came in with their granddaughter. As they became regulars, the OP began to feel bad for them — the couple always let their grandkid eat, without ever having food for themselves. The way the OP decided to help t…

This guy discovered that he accidentally invited his boss to his weekend getaway with his friends.

Finding a good manager, one that isn't a toxic leader who gives you work-PTSD, isn't easy. When you find a place with a boss that treats everybody with respect and helps elevate everybody, then you hold onto them tight. Unfortunately, that is not what this employee did and when he realized what he did, he knew karma was coming for him. This guy took to Reddit to confess his horrible actions. He has been working at his place of establishment for almost a decade. He got a new boss right before th…

Breakfast time is not the best time for kitchen experiments, as one unfortunate dude learned the hard way. As he shared in a r/TIFU (today I f***** up) post that gained thousands of comments, he shared his brewing experience with us, so that we may absorb his wisdom. Basically, the OP did a lot of research on coffee, and kind of fell down a rabbit hole, leading to them purchasing an expensive new toy to make coffee with. But the OP clearly didn't do quite enough research, as they explain in the…

Well, if he wasn't going to be remembered as Carrot Boy before, he certainly is now; there's no walking it back from this one, folks. As commenters have suggested, if he had merely approached the conversation as if it was an old inside joke rather than something that he was harboring deep resentment over, he could have won his old classmates over and finally been rid of his demons in one swift stroke. Instead, the monkey's paw has curled—and the prophecy comes to pass. He is now, and forever wi…

Cheaters may never win—but crying and gaslighting an entire workplace in order to cover their tracks is well within their capabilities. This post does beg an important question: If you had the chance to hit your boss repeatedly in the head with paintballs, would you take it? Then, if they tried to lie and gaslight your entire office in order to save face, would you let them? There are certainly the bold among us who would have been sitting right there in that meeting, ready to commit to a scorc…

In a hilariously embarrassing mistake, that they're going to be thinking about for the rest of their lives as they lie in bed trying to sleep, this worker accidentally made the brutal error of calling their boss “mom.” I think it's pretty safe to assume we've all been in a situation like this at some point in our lives; who hasn't called a teacher “mom” or “dad” in grade school? But the situation plays out a little bit differently when you're an adult working in an adult workplace, the adult co…

This is one of those lessons that is incredibly brutal to learn firsthand. It's almost biblical in a way; a wary and weary traveler is hailed by a stranger who claims to have suffered some misfortune. Will they help out? Will they give them the shirt off their own back? Except in this story, the stranger doesn't magically transform into a beautiful woman or a bearded old man and bestow riches upon them for their heart of gold. Nah, this is Vegas, baby - that stranger is going to strangle you wi…

This viral post has spread like wildfire accross the internet this past weekend, jumping across from Reddit to TikTok where the song from the original thread is now trending.

This YouTuber friend destroyed an $8000 Pokemon card collection as a "prank" for his channel, now, the owner of the collection is wondering what on earth he should do. Readers have urged the poster to notify the police and file charges for damages, but that still won't return or replace the treasured collection. This thread was posted to r/TIFU (Today I F-ed Up) by Reddit user u/Ok-Watch8193, who shared a thread with the title “TIFU By letting my friend who likes to prank people in my house. Wh…
