TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by leaving my mic on during D&D.

This isn't a super long fuckup but it's still worth posting, I think.

I play D&D online with a group of friends every Thursday evening. Because of my girlfriend's work schedule, I usually have to run to pick her up about 2/3rds of the way through the game session and bring her home. While I do so, I normally switch to Discord on my phone and listen in on the session (and occasionally contribute verbally) while I drive. The DM takes care of any dice rolls I have to make.

Anyway, since it's usually late by this point we will stop at a drive thru quickly on the way home. Last night I had just gotten done speaking to an NPC as my turn came up in the drive thru line, so as the DM (in character as the butler NPC) asks "Is there anything else you need?" I turned the volume down to give my order to the McDonald's worker.

"Yeah, I'd like a triple cheeseburger, medium fries and a mocha frappe."

I hear the group bursting into laughter, but wasn't paying close attention to what was making them laugh.

"We don't have frappes tonight."

"Oh okay, large Coke with no ice then."

More laughter, and then I realize that I'd not muted myself the whole time. I was mortified, but the timing was so incredibly perfect given what the NPC said that I couldn't even be mad.

The best part was the DM's rather dry response:

"Well, Master Aodhan, for that you'll have to speak to Pierre, the chef."

TL;DR left my mic on while making a drive thru order during a D&D session just as an NPC asked what else I needed.

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...
