TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by getting stupid high and going to Walmart

Some basic facts: I’m a married woman with three kids. I live in a medical and recreational state. I have a med card.

So, I’ve been looking forward to today for a few days now. I had to drive to town today to sign my part of the taxes, an excellent excuse to enjoy some time away from the kids. And as we’ve just gotten our stimulus, I decided to make a day of it, go and get a bunch of things done and purchased that I’d been putting off, then pick up a few medical grade chocolate bar edibles, as yesterday my MIL offered to take the kids overnight tonight. Woohoo!

I left this morning a little after 10am. It takes about 30 minutes to get to town; we’re rural. I got my errands done in the downtown area and, coming out of the final shop, turned and got to check out the shiny, new medical dispensary. Neat! And I got an extra lollipop with the chocolate bars. 10mg. Ooh fun!

And then I ate it without thinking....(I realize now this was not smart)

I made a couple of quick stops, maybe 30 minutes, and was at Taco Bell eating by 1pm. Then I went to Walmart. Just a couple of minutes down the road.

I noticed fairly quickly that it’d been I while since I’d been inside Walmart. I had to really try to remember where the departments were. I wanted flashlights for the kids for when the power goes out. By the time I’d safari hunted down a Walmart mil employee and then found the flashlights, I was walking around the aisles in circles trying to find my way to the registers. At the registers, I was needing to slightly lean up against the self-checkout machines.

But then, success! I made it back to the minivan. Oh sweet relief!

I checked the packaging on the lollipop. 50mg.....

So now, I’m stuck at the Walmart. The receipt says 2pm. After taking time to explain my FU to my hubby and that I won’t been home for a while, I realize it’s taken more then 2 hours for me to write this post. I think I might be here for a while, which is a bummer.

Luckily, I just happened to land the best possible location to be stranded, especially as a woman, in a very rural area. It’s a 24-hour Walmart, so I’ve got bathrooms and supplies and can legally park in my car for as long as I need. I just happened to park in sight of a light and security cam. I’m in town, so there’s delivery. I’ve still got some Taco Bell and Pepsi. I’ve got my charging cable. And the wireless is pretty good. So, I got that going for me, which is nice.

TL;DR: Ate an edible while running errands in town, thought it was 10mg. It was 50. Happened to be shopping at Walmart when it kicked it. Now I’m stuck here.

Edit: I was all bummed b/c my lighter was dying (cigarettes, not more weed) and I was gonna have to lady-up and go inside to get a new one. But, huzzah! I found an extra in my jacket pocket.

Edit 2: I sobered up and made it back home safely. Thanks and good wishes to all who kept me company. Have a good evening all!

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...
