TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by injuring myself on outdoor ice because of nostalgia

So for context I played junior ice hockey for 10 years in total. Last few years at a fairly high-level being a offensive d-man with soft hands scoring at about a point per game pace at my best.

After I quit hockey 6 years ago I really got into bodybuilding and strenght training. I'm about 17-18kg (40 pounds) heavier than I first started with a similar bodyfat%. It got to the point that I hadn't been on the ice once for 4 years until this winter.

I was on the ice the first time a week ago and oh boy the nostalgia hit me hard. I even got a bit sad that I quit playing when I did. Now we come to the fuck up. I was on ice for the second time couple days ago. I was pleased to find out I still had the soft hands and could throw backhand saucer passes like I quit playing yesterday. After an hour of stickhandling and trying different skating stuff and idea popped up in my head: I wonder how explosive and fast I can skate now that my legs have doubled in size. Turns out very fast. I decide to accelerate hard again for fun and behold my genius as I pull a hip flexor on the third stride.

I'm still feeling the hurt when walking and even struggled to get into position while benching yesterday. My hockey coaches always said that explosive skaters rule hockey, well now I'm so explosive that my body breaks when I take strides how about that.

TL:DR; Got caugh up with nostalgia and pulled a hip flexor while trying to skate hard and fast for the first time in 4 years.

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...
