TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU using Nair while construction was being done in my neighborhood

TIFU using Nair for the first time. So a story I just read reminded me of this one. This happened when I was about 14 so this is more of a That Time I F’ed Up story.

I had heard about Nair & wanted to try it since I was horrible at shaving my legs & would cut my knees up all the time cuz they were super boney. So it’s the middle of the day but I decide to take a shower cuz why not? I hop in, do my thing, last thing is to apply the Nair to my legs & then I cut the water off cuz it was that kind that had to sit for like 10 mins & I had run out of hot water at that point so I didn’t wanna stand in cold water for that long.

Now, I had forgotten that there was construction going on just down the street where they were building new houses. That’s where I fucked up.

So the 10 mins pass & I go to turn the shower back on to just rinse off real quick, hoping there was maybe a little hot water back. Nothing came out. I start to panic a little as my legs are starting to itch/tingle bad. I run to my parents shower & try that, no dice. I really start to panic & yell for my brother through the door. He comes up I tell him what’s happening, he runs to the kitchen to try the sink but no water. After a few minutes of panicking & burning legs we decided to sacrifice the gallon of milk from the fridge before I got legit chemical burns & not just irritated skin.

Turns out, the construction guys had hit a water line & they had shut off the water main to that pipe which also happened to cut off water to our house & since I had used all the water in the water heater, after that the pipes in the house were dry. At least my mom wasn’t mad about me having to waste the gallon of milk she just bought. I have never used Nair ever again.

Tl;Dr used Nair, ran out of hot water in the house & didn’t know that the water main to our house had been turned off due to construction nearby, almost got chemical burns & had to use milk to get the Nair off. Edit:formatting

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...
