TIFU by wasting a 911 dispatchers time

(This happened awhile ago but the story is too good) I was 18 and home alone, my mom said “We are going to Ohio, we’ll be home in a few days” which was alright enough. Fast forward to that night it’s 1am and I hear the front door open, feet stomping around and clanging. I hid in the closet with my phone and dialed 911.

I talked with the dispatcher and told her that my house was being broken into, and within a minute I could see police car lights flashing through the window into my room. The officer asked me if I saw the intruder and told her no, my family was out of town and went to Ohio, and I was home alone. I heard a knock at the door and heard the door open, I thought that the intruder left it unlocked and maybe an officer was inside. Then the dispatcher asks, “do you know a Sean?” and I told her that Sean is my dad. The dispatch officer then told me “Sean just answered the front door and let the officer in. Are you able to go downstairs?”

I went downstairs and immediately apologized in tears. Apparently when my mom said “WE are going to Ohio” she meant my uncle, aunt and her were going to Ohio and my dad had just gotten off a night shift to be greeted by the police.

TLDR I called the cops on my dad because I thought the whole family went out of town, but he was just coming home from a night shift and I thought he was an intruder.

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...
