TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by being hit on while having my pulse taken

Times are tough and for the past two months I've been going into a clinic twice a week to donate plasma for extra cash. I walk in there today and overhear the staff talking about how someone needs to shoot their shot and then saying something about how they're pretty sure the guy's married. I don't know exactly, I automatically assumed they were talking about someone else in the back, because no one hits on me and hasn't in years. The last person to was this 6'5 giant Samoan transgender lady, who looked like The Rock, except with long hair and lipstick, who said I smelled 'really' nice.

After I finish completing the questionnaire, I go to the screening area, you know where they take your temperature, pulse and all that, and I keep hearing, "Shoot your shot, girl! Shoot!". This girl ends up calling me up to her booth and there's a lady walking behind her saying, "Do it, do it". Surely they're not talking about me because I'm right fucking here and that would be embarrassing, right? I sit down and roll up my sleeves so she can get to work taking my pulse and everything and then she nervously says, "I feel like I always get you when you come in". Shit.

At this point I start to panic a little bit, realizing, "They were totally talking about me. This lady's about to make move!" I'm not big on attention, especially from strangers and in public and I start to get really embarrassed and flushed realizing what's about to happen. She's trying to make small talk with me, saying, "I'm not sure what's wrong with me today. You probably come in here all the time and think I'm like this weird idiot". I'm generally a nice person though, I know where this is going, but I don't want to be a dick about things, so I reply back that, "Oh no, totally don't. I'm like really easy going too and don't even notice stuff like that. You're doing fine". She then puts the cuff over my bicep to take my pulse and then says that, "You have really pretty eyes, you know that?"

And there it is. I'm trying not to get too flustered and I know that my pulse just jumped and that I need to keep it down if I'm going to get any money for donating today. All I could think was, "God dammit, this is embarrassing and I feel awkward and I'm not going to get any money now on top of it. You really had to hit on me right before you took my pulse? Really?" And so then I just sat there trying to stay calm while she ran her tests. I felt awkward, she felt awkward. Needless to say my pulse was too high and now I have to deal with the awkwardness of it all whenever I go back to that place.

On top of it all, my recently broken up ex-girlfriend and I are trying to remain friends and text each other throughout the day. Just because we're broken up doesn't mean we both don't still want to be in each other's lives. I told her about the encounter immediately afterwards because it was this funny and embarrassing thing that had just happened, thinking she wouldn't be jealous if I explained that I seriously don't plan on dating anyone or anything beforehand. Nope, that definitely wasn't a brilliant thing to do on my part, she was annoyed to crap about that.

​

TL;DR Got hit on for the first time in years while I was having my pulse taken to donate plasma and make some extra mulla. Pulse was too high as a result and I got no mulla. Ex gf mad now too for telling her about it afterwards.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

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...
