TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by using Google Assistant.

The cup is old but the tea is fresh(A metaphor for a good ol' online class mess up).

I(19M) was a little sleepy today running on about 3 hours of sleep in a theory class. The teacher doesn't require us to switch on our video(there's still remote classes in my uni) all the time, thankfully. Although, there's a good chance you might get called out for only answering during the attendance and not participating in the discussions or answering questions.

So I did, I answered a couple of questions that were asked and sat back. This doesn't bother me cause I don't mind the theory that much and I usually participate in the class. Although, my sleep got the best of me today. It was just too boring to handle. So I started scrolling Reddit, Instagram, messing with my phone etc. I saw a post on one of the suggested subs saying something about "Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven(I'm not sure)". And then it struck me. My brain decided to recall a song that I used to listen to quite a bit that had the lyrics "Moonlight sonata".

It was just one of those moments where you know the tune to that one line and maybe one or two words but can't figure out the song no matter how hard you try. My sleep deprivation didn't help me either. I tried googling wither but there's only so much Google can do when you know only two words and they happen to be a song by themselves. I concentrated really hard for about 30 seconds or so before the talking of the teacher got too distracting. I then remembered that Google Assistant added this feature where you can hum a song and it'll try to figure it out for you. So I removed my earphones and started humming all that I could remember from the song.

So there I'm sat humming with all my might in my godforsaken dead ass and sleep-deprived voice just so the poor algorithm can tell me the name of the song and I can be at peace. This went on for about 2 minutes (I tried a couple of times). As expected, the assistant couldn't identify it but when I put my headphones on, I just hear laughing and soon the mocking of my hums. Didn't take more than 2 seconds to know what was wrong. God knows how much I wanted to backflip onto a remote island and live there for the rest of my life.

For all those wondering, the song is called Up Up and Away by Juice Wrld and the lyrics that were in my mind were:

"I'm walkin' in Prada, tryna solve my problems
Through the night, finding vibes, Moonlight Sonata".
It's a beautiful song, give it a listen if you have the time!

TL;DR: Started humming a song so google can identify it with my mic unmuted while my class had a good laugh.

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...
