TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU trying to surprise my wife and leading her on to believe i was cheating

me 22m , wife 22f no kids. also technically not "today" ifu

She and i recently moved to a new country where she had to work. we decide she would work and i would take care of the house since she got paid pretty well. It was going well for a few months. I saw an advertisement for jingle writing.( jingles are small catchy tunes for advertisements) So i thought why not apply since this was something i've wanted to do for a long time and hadnt had the chance to do in my original country. i applied and i was to submit the jingle in a few days.

Luckily i did get it. I then had to go to play the jingle for them and had to stay as the jingle was being filmed. So they decided to give me a time 3hrs per day and i said decided to keep it from 1-4 as my wife was out from 10am to 530 in the evening. So everything goes the same for a month. I had got the paycheck(a nice amount) around the 18th day but decided to not cash it in until they finished filming the commercial.

All throughout this i hadnt told my wife about this bc i wanted her to be surprised at what happened. So the commercial filming ends and i decide to tell her about it today. i return home happily thinking i would surprise my wife and i open the door and there she is in tears.

She tells me she knows that ive been cheating on her and starts to cry more. and i tell her that ive not been cheating. She asks me about how ive been out in the afternoons. I then ask her to sit down and then i explain everything thats been happening and about how i wanted to surprise her (and show her the check just as a proof of what ive been doing). She then hugs me and kisses me and says that somedays ago she had come home a bit early (at the time i was out working). When i returned she asked me where i was and i had said that i had just gone for a drive. She then came home again at the same time somedays later to again find me missing. Thats when she started to get suspicious so she just went back to work that day and didnt say anything as to not accuse me for something possibly coincidental. She did the same thing for a couple of days again but still didnt see me at home. She then discussed it with some friends of hers and they all told her that me cheating was a very plausible case. Some of them even told her to cheat on me but she didnt do it as she wanted to talk with me before anything else happened and thankfully i hadnt done anything bad. She then cries a bit more (out of happiness this time). We then had sex and then later on i took her out for a nice romantic dinner.

Im not a redditor but she said it would make a good story here

TL;DR: Decided to be a Stay at home guy, found an opportunity for a job that i loved, got the job(less work hours),didnt tell wife to surprise her later, wife comes home some times when i was working only to see i wasnt there, tearfully asks me if i was cheating and i end up telling her what ive been doing

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...
