TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

Tifu by thinking food stuck in my throat would fix itself.

Okay, so last night I had a great meal with my partner, however at some point during the meal, as you’ve probably guessed, a bit of food (I’m still not sure what) got stuck in my throat. Now just to specify it wasn’t just in my throat, it was like backed up where my nose meets my throat and every time I swallowed the motion kept it jammed up there. Unpleasant, sure, big problem, not yet.

However as the evening becomes night my throat and nose get sorer and sorer until by the time I got to sleep I have an absolutely killer sore throat. I end up waking at sunrise as every time I swallow is agony, my nose is streaming and I realise I’m not getting back to sleep. So I creep out of the room and head downstairs trying not to wake anyone else in the house, and in this time I’ve been awake I’ve been surfing Reddit articles on food stuck in your throat. I’m attempting to do all the fixes, gargling, humming, eating bread and rice and gulping down the only carbonated thing I had in the house, a strong German beer. All to no avail, every swallow was torture, I stick my finger down the back of my throat but can’t dislodge it because the culprit has taken the nose junction and is out of my probing jurisdiction. Anyway, I look at my beer and I get an idea.

I tilt my head back, close one nostril and pour my Hofbrau Original 5% up my nose. My eyes stream, I fight the reflex to stop or sneeze. After I’ve poured what feels like a shot of beer up my nose I feel it immediately foaming inside. I cover the other nostril and proceed to get a German beer sinus cleanse. Pressure builds as beer foam begins to spray down the back of my throat, then it releases, and whatever little bit of food was causing me so much grief was there, is now gone. So there I am at 6 am in my kitchen covered in snot and beer, borderline weeping with relief. And I’m still not sure if I should post this here or in LPT

Tldr; Food stuck in my throat caused super discomfort, ended up giving myself a homemade sinus irrigation with a beer.

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...
