TIFU by rear-ending a stranger and then telling him to his face it wasn't me

Ich habe mich noch nie in meinem Leben mehr für einen einzigen Satz geschämt Also, ich fahre durch die Stadt und suche einen Parkplatz. Das Auto vor mir entdeckt gleichzeitig mit mir eine Lücke auf der rechten Seite, und wir lenken beide gleichzeitig ein. Nur, dass er gebremst hat. Und ich... sagen wir mal, ich habe mich hauptsächlich gebremst. Sanfter Stoß. Kaum eine Berührung. Aber definitiv eine Berührung. Der Typ steigt aus, geht herum, inspiziert beide Autos sehr sorgfältig, dreht sich dann um und geht direkt auf mein Fenster zu. Mein Gehirn schreit. Ich kurbel das Fenster runter, und bevor er den Mund aufmachen kann, höre ich mich selbst sagen, mit voller Überzeugung: "Ich war's nicht!" Er schaut mich an. Er schaut auf die beiden Autos, die sich immer noch berühren. Er schaut wieder auf mich. Dann, völlig emotionslos: "Ach. Wer war's denn dann?" Und ich hatte nichts. Keine Fortsetzung, keine Erklärung, keine Würde. Also tat ich das Ei...

TIFU by not giving my number to my neighbour

I got two numbers, one number is exclusively for WhatsApp (it's a texting app) and one number is for calling. ( its stupid ik but my WhatsApp number is my dead mother's number and I wanted to keep I didn't want to let it go idk its stupid). My neighbour wanted my books and I stupidly gave my WhatsApp number thinking she would text me for the books and visit me as she is my neighbour. Our fathers are also in contact with each other so I didn't think it would matter that much. She didn't come by and I was surprised. I was also busy with my college so it slipped my mind. Today her sister informed that she tried calling me via WhatsApp number (call doesn't work in this number) and she visited my home as well ( we lock our doors at night and don't open them if someone rings the bell as there are a lot of boys ding dong ditching; we didnt know its her). She just bought those expensive books from the store and I feel so stupid now. She probably thought I was i...

TIFU by telling my family that women lay eggs and almost ruining Thanksgiving

This was a couple of years ago, but with Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought I’d relive it. I (29F) have a running gag with my husband (28M) where I rage bait him for fun. He loves science, so I specifically use scientific inaccuracies to bug him. A long time ago, I jokingly mentioned in passing to him that if you think about it, women lay eggs. Since babies come from fertilized eggs for human women, similar to birds, it’s kind of like women lay eggs too. For clarification, I totally know this isn’t the same case. It was just a joke I made. He really didn’t like that joke lol. Seeing how irritated he got by it just fueled me. So, whenever I feel like shutting him down, I throw that joke back out. Losing a fight? Women lay eggs. He’s got an attitude? Women lay eggs. He’s gloating when he wins a game? Women lay eggs. And it’s been this way for a while. Fast forward to a couple Thanksgivings ago, my entire family went to visit my sister’s family a few hours away. It was a great ...

TIFU by eating 113g of fibre

I’ve been trying to incorporate more fibre into my meals these past few months for health benefits. I bought those wraps that have 17g of fibre per wrap, and have been eating more fruit and veg. Today I was feeling particularly peckish due to a workout and ate a lot. For breakfast, I prepared a bowl of porridge with chia seeds and a whole container of raspberries (28g of fibre) For lunch, I had a chicken wrap with two bell peppers (27g) For a snack, I had a small bowl of pasta with some meat sauce + 2 apples. It was the high fibre pasta so around (17g). Then for dinner, I had no food left so I made myself another wrap with just cheese. I then made myself another one and was still hungry. So then I ate an entire bag of carrots. (41g). Now I am bracing for the worst on the toilet. My stomach is extremely bloated and it’s filled with so much pressure that it hurts to even breathe. I needed to be in bed hours ago but can’t leave my bathroom. If you’re starting fibre, incorporate...

TIFU by taking a 90-minute taxi ride to the wrong town a couple weeks ago

A few weeks ago I was heading to see some friends and typed the address they sent me into the taxi app. I saw a matching result, tapped it, and got in without checking the city or ZIP code. The ride was about an hour and a half. I had no idea it was only supposed to take around 40 minutes, so I didnt really question it. I just figured they lived farther away than I thought and spent the whole ride looking out the window like everything was normal. When we finally got there, nothing looked right. I checked the address again and realized there was another place in the same state with the exact same street name and house number, just in a different town. I had picked the wrong one.I told the driver what happened and he just gave me this look like he was trying very hard not to ask how I managed to mess that up. Fair enough. So I paid for a 90-minute taxi ride to a place where I knew absolutely nobody, and I still wasnt anywhere near my friends. I had to explain what happened, figure out t...

TIFU by changing my Instagram username

I woke up early this morning and decided to scroll on instagram. I saw that a guy I knew and had went one date on with liked a post of mine. I was really bored but didn’t want to get up so I was just messing around on my phone and decided to play with my username and see what my first name would look like with his last name. That’s pretty embarrassing to admit, but what’s more embarrassing is that in my sleepiness I hit save instead of cancel and now it’s stuck like that for 14 days. And he follows me. Im so fucking embarrassed right now, Ive only been on one date with this guy and my Instagram username is my name with his surname. Im actually so scared he’s going to think I’m some creep who‘s obsessed with him. We follow each other too. I swear Im gonna deactivate my account permanently or something. TL;DR: Accidentally changed my Instagram username to my first name and the last name of some guy I have a crush on and we follow each other.
