TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by getting a blood test

TIFU (last week) and I thought I was trying to be prudent. I have kidney disease. When I was born my uritors were blocked and all tied in knots from a birth defect and I didn't know until I was 6. I had pneumonia at 6 and doctors did an ultrasound on the lungs and found the blockage. End result: I have less than 1 functioning kidney between the two. Although stable now, they're doomed. One has 10% function (dunzo) and one has 60% function (HOLD ON LOOSELY). I'm 32 so maybe a transfusion is likely if I live long and I want to know my blood type. Mom told me it was B+  and I researched that 9% of people have it, yikes for me right. I wanted to confirm that situation, so here we are.

I got my results back and I'm A+. Highest I've ever scored. This is good for me because it's a popular blood type. If I ever needed a new kidney (living healthy, hopefully won't ever need one) it will be grown in a lab somewhere and not donated. Either way, this all started some shit.

My brother is type O+ an my mom is O+ and as dad remembers, he's B+. So there it is.

He's confirming his blood type, but we're sure he's B+. We're positive lol! I had long talk with my mom this morning about the whole thing, it's all very surreal. My dad, shit, or "dad" questioned if I was even his kid a couple times when I was kid. Obviously I was bummed, but never thought too much about it, he kinda always drank. Considering the culmination of these evetes happened about 3 hours ago I'm still a little shook. Will follow up w details for reddit, bc there's only like 3 people that can know this shit but now my life is Muary.

TL;DR I fucked up by checking my blood type and finding out I don't know who my father is

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...
