TIFU by brushing my teeth with icy hot

This happened about 2 years ago, freshman year of high school btw.

So I was getting ready to go to school and I went to the bathroom to get ready. Took a shower, messed with my hair, and brushed my teeth. Except, the "toothpaste" burned more than usual.

I didn't really pay any attention to it until about a minute in I started drooling. I then realized that my mouth was completely numb and I couldn't stop myself from basically spitting all my toothpaste out. It was then that I checked the upside-down tube and realized that I had just brushed my teeth with "Icy Hot pain-relieving cream" which is white and shaped like a tube of toothpaste. My mouth was numb for about a solid couple of hours and I had to miss school that day. I still have nightmares about the experience.

Nowadays I don't really have any problems with my taste buds or anything and I'm sure my enamel is fine, but for about a week my tongue was very much oversensitive, causing me to believe I'd never eat ice cream again. Oh yeah, all my friends call me icy hot now and still make fun of me so that's pretty much all I've gained from that other than thoroughly checking toothpaste before I use it.

TL;DR icy hot tubes look like toothpaste upside down, don't brush your teeth with it.

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
