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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
