TIFU by quitting my job

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...

TIFU by playing a game...

So I play several gacha games. This is specifically about Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). I don't think the game itself it important but in case anyone wanted to know. I wanted the new character currently on banner. She looked too cool to pass up. So, since I already put in my info prior, I just went to get premium currency twice. Finally got her. All is well! Or so I thought. My friend tells me that her account has missing money. For extra context, the ZZZ account was HER account originally, but she lost interest and ended up giving it to me. I had seen a transaction on my account already so I assumed her issue was something else. She sends me screenshots later, and yep, those amounts are from the game, and they should be on MY bank details! Panic ensues. As I'm heading to work I'm trying to figure out the best way to pay her back, because thankfully, I have enough to do so. I finally decide to just use cashapp, and give her the amount back with a small extra on top as an a...

TIFU by going to work with a sore throat.

I'm writing this as I got off of work in absolute shambles. I want to hide away from humanity forever. Maybe even quit. I took my nieces and nephews to the school fair about two days ago. Everything was easy and breezy (excluding my nephew acting up frequently enough to where we had to go home early). The fair had about 50 or so kids? There were a bunch of hands-on activities and games I participated in with my nieces. We were shooting hoops, shooting water guns, you name it... I know that kids are human petri dishes, but I'm pretty good with my hygiene and handwashing. I felt pretty okay throughout the weekend. However, when I woke up today (Monday), my right lymph node hurt pretty bad. It's allergies season, and I snore in my sleep. I just assumed it was that. So, I grab my belongings, keys, and clock in for my shift. Its a physically demanding job that requires a lot of arm strength, but I always manage on the days where I feel off. Today, they introduced a new man...

TIFU by moving out of the way

My friend and I were standing on a staircase outside of a building. I am white (relevant) and my friend is white passing. A black woman (also relevant) approached and said something I didn’t hear, but I assumed she was trying to get by since we were blocking the stairs, so I moved behind my friend so she could get past. The woman looked flabbergasted and said, “I’m not gonna hurt you guys or anything, I was just looking for a light.” I realized that I indeed looked like I was cowering behind my friend. I was mortified. My friend was mortified. I quickly explained I didn’t hear her and I thought she just wanted past, but I’m not sure she believed me. My friend told her we didn’t have a lighter for her and she went to ask someone else. My friend told me if I had stepped in front of her instead of behind her, maybe it wouldn’t have looked as bad, but of course, I wasn’t thinking about that, I was thinking, “Oh, we’re so rude and blocking the entry for this woman, I should get over...

TIFU by not realising how much I need to professional help earlier

I (22F) think I have ASPD, and it's ruining my life. I live a parasitic life, I lie constantly, I steal, I feel threatened when someone calls me out, I get angry when someone cries, I get into arguments constantly, I have no realistic plans for my future I just waste my present with impulsive choices, I waste money constantly, I only feel bad when I get the consequences, I've never had an actual relationships, I try to normalize my bad behaviour, I make people sad or angry then go back to doing what I was doing and feel shocked when people are stuck on it even if it was 5 minutes ago. I don't like responsibility, I do everything in my power not to work, I feel entitled to peoples admiration but I don't admire myself, I get throughts of hurting people even tho I would never do that, when people inconvenience me even if they're close to me I wish they died so they'd be out of my way, I constantly imagine myself with a better position, wealth, status and psychi...

TIFU by getting blackout drunk at a company party

i had just started working at this company two months ago and yesterday my coworkers had a party at our boss's house celebrating his work anniversary. everyone's relatively pretty young and LOVES to drink, so the tequila was flowing and everybody was passing around shots and getting fucked up. we drank A LOT, but i was feeling fine. after the party, my coworkers and i wanted to keep the festivities going so we decided to hit the bars. that's when all the alcohol from the party hit me at once, and i blacked out. i don't remember the bar at all, don't know if i said anything embarrassing, and that's seriously killing me. and then i somehow ended up back at my boss's house and my boss's wife (who's also my coworker) took my purse and hid it because it seemed like i was about to drive home. she told me to stay the night along with another coworker of mine who also got really fucked up, and called my mom to explain the situation. i woke up feeling re...
