TIFU: by letting my ps4 controller run out of battery

I ordered food for delivery from DoorDash and I was watching YouTube on my ps4. One thing led to another and I got to “insider edition “ videos.

If you aren’t aware insider edition has video clips of things happening to people (ie: people being kidnapped ,shooters and shit like that) and they give a short report of what happens, during this time I get a notification about my battery being low, but I was too lazy to move and I figured I’d just plug it up when I answer the door for the driver.

To give you an image of the setting: I live on a street where there aren’t any numbers to identity a home. My bed is is next to the window and my room is on the 2nd floor, additionally my room is right above the front door

Because there aren’t any numbers, I normally sit on the edge of my bed and look out the window. if I see my driver I go downstairs and signal them to the door. So 45 minutes later I get the notification that my driver is pulling up and I go ahead and get situated by my window so I can see when they’re here.

Note that on this particular day it was starting to get sunnier, so I had left my window open.

when the driver gets here, I am greeted by a cute girl, probably in her early 20s.

Now here’s the fuck up, when on mobile devices the media you’re playing automatically stops when the headphones are unplugged or removed. This is NOT the case with ps4 controllers, when the controller dies, the media keeps playing.

I had auto play on and forgot to pause the video I was watching, when I meet the delivery driver at the door (which is right below my bedroom) we both hear a woman screaming “HELP ME PLEASE” coming from my window

I realized instantly that it was another insider edition video that was auto playing and I panicked. So instead of being a smart person, i ran from the door all the way upstairs to stop the video. By the time I got upstairs the driver was already pulling out of my driveway. The screaming was only about 4 seconds, but my immediate running(like a fucking idiot) was what probably scared her off.

Later the police showed up to my house and I had to explain the situation to them. It was embarrassing but a good memory to make

TLDR: ordered delivery and when my driver came, my controller died while I was watching a YouTube video on ps4 that included a woman screaming. Driver heard the screams, drove off and called the cops.

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...
