TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by telling by boyfriend what style to avoid for my engagement ring.

So today we went out and had planned to confirm my ring size at Zales via me trying to see if a current ring could be sized. Sales guy confirmed my size and let me know multiple times that the ring I had couldn’t be resized. My boyfriend tells me to go shop. I call my best friend as I’m losing my shit at whatever shop I went into. Well I calm down and focus on the task at finding new clothes for a job I start Tuesday. We meet up and I probe if he found anything. He jokes that he just dropped 5k and then says no, I didn’t buy anything today. I’m gullible enough to believe him. And then after lunch it occurs to me that since he’s still shopping, I should let him know what to avoid since we never actually had the conversation. (Context: I was married once before and it was a terrible relationship/marriage. I simply wanted whatever he got to be completely new and unique like our relationship. I have no beef with the style of stone and quite like it actually.)

So I casually bring up the topic and show him a photo of the style and he froze. I immediately realized I fucked up and that he already bought a ring with that style.

TL;DR I fucked up by telling my bf what style to avoid on an engagement ring he already bought earlier. I’m happy to announce the ring in question is exquisite and we are happily engaged.

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...
