TIFU because i dropped my drumstick in the middle of a song and completely ruined our first real gig

so this literally just happened like a few hours ago and i’m still sitting in my room dying inside from the sheer embarrassment. my band finally managed to get our first real live gig at a local venue tonight. it wasn't a massive stadium or anything, but there were actually real people watching us and we were all super hyped and full of adrenaline. i play the drums and honestly everything was going completely perfect for the first three songs of our set. the crowd was into it and we felt like actual rockstars. then we started playing our fastest and most chaotic song. i was sweating like crazy, fully in the zone, and right before the biggest and most important beat drop of the entire track, my right hand got slippery. my drumstick literally flew out of my hand like a missile. it didn't just drop on the floor nicely, it flew straight across the stage and hit our guitarist right in the middle of his back. he got totally startled, missed his cue, and stopped playing entirely...

TIFU by questioning myself before work

Hello, this might not be the right subreddit, but I’m very new to Reddit and really need help here. Today, and for the last several days, adding the last several months of questions and years of on and off opinions, I questioned whether or not I’m trans or not. It’s been a bit of a rough topic. I’m born female, and really don’t want to be trans. Every time I get jealous of men, or start hating the way I am as a woman, I get really mad at myself. Today at work, I left multiple tags on clothes by mistake, screwed up continuously, and was a liability while questioning myself . Despite this, I still don’t want to believe I’m trans. If this is the wrong sub, please let me know. Thank you TL;DR I’m a mess, and don’t know how to deal with life any more

TIFU taking a zyn never having nicotine in my life

So, my buddy told me about Zyns. Mind you, I dont really do any sort of "drugs". Ive had weed 3 times in my life (im 24), rarely drink alcohol, and thats it. She offers me to try a zyn. She gives me it and I put it in my lower lip. At first, it was ok. A little bit of a burn, no problem. I started to feel very hyper aware and like i had to be on gaurd. 10 minutes later, the shit really starts to hit the fan. My walking felt off, start to feel sluggish, and my stomach started to feel like crap. I had to take a number 2 immediately for some reason. It probably made it worse that I had it on an empty stomach. I decided to spit it out maybe like 20 ish minutes I had it in at the time. Talking, all of that felt off and weird. I go back to see the package and it was 6mg for the strength. Its weird because I've had weird before that was 20mg and it didnt hit this hard. But this nicotine hit me like a dump truck and dont understand why. Not doing that anymore. TL;DR: First ...

TIFU by not realizing why I was so hungry all the goddamn time

The last few weeks, I've been starving. I eat a healthy meal for dinner (spaghetti with homemade meatballs and lots of veggies, breakfast bake with eggs and sausage and cheese and veggies, etc) and I feel like I'm starving 3-4hrs later as I'm in bed. I cook almost every meal at home and don't really snack. If I do, it's fruit or something on the healthy side. My job is physically demanding. I'm an online shopper at Walmart, but I walk at least 8 miles every shift, and I'm constantly moving, lifting, and pulling heavy items. I'm doing this full time in the summer and part time during my college semesters. The other day, I worked a 1-10 shift and then a 10-7 the next day. I got home at 10 and had a healthy dinner. At 2am, I'm starving, and have a granola bar. I go back to bed. I have 2 bagels with peanut butter and a smoothie (cherry & banana with milk and protein powder) for breakfast. By the time I took my lunch break at 2pm, I was starving...

TIFU by replying "love you too" to my boss's email sign off out of pure autopilot

this happened about an hour ago and i have not stopped replaying it since. was deep in a long email thread with my boss, going back and forth quickly about a deadline. she signed off her message with "thanks, talk soon." i was typing fast, half distracted, finishing up a reply to my partner in another tab at the same time. hit send on what i thought was a normal closing line. looked back at the email a minute later to double check something and saw, in full clarity, that i had typed "love you too, bye" as my closing line to my boss. no context. no explanation. just appeared at the end of a professional email like it belonged there. sat in complete silence for about thirty seconds. considered sending a follow up to clarify. decided that would only make it worse. she has not responded yet. it has been fifty eight minutes. i am refreshing my inbox like it owes me something. TL;DR: accidentally signed off a work email to my boss with "love you too, bye...

TIFU Called the fire department for the dumbest false alarm they’ve ever heard

I am so embarrassed. Last night I smelt something rancid in my apartment. I took out the trash looked for anything that could be causing it. It smelt not like rotten eggs but definitely rotten. At around 2 am I start to get lightheaded. I was going to stay at a friend’s house but then as I was driving I got so nervous about leaving my neighbors in a potential emergency. So I called the non emergency line they connected me to the fire department and I told them it was probably nothing but also I am unsure. They had two fire trucks show up at like 2 am. The 12 guys came in confirmed there’s no gas and it’s okay. I told my landlord what happened and to let him know about the smell. He said “I wish you would’ve called me. I could’ve told you there’s no gas in the building.” I feel so unbelievably stupid. The only small bit of vindication I get is there was in fact a dead squirrel in the attic. I just can’t believe I called the fire department when there’s not even any gas in the building. ...
