TIFU by trying to rearrange the room and having the bed fall apart completely

Edit: this happened 20 minutes ago so I’m sitting here in disappointment

When we moved to this place, the bed frame was from my old place and we figured why not save money and use it. We tried building it and the screws stopped fitting for some odd reason (?) but we were able to put it together. The bed lasted almost two months with us sleeping on it. However, it has been squeaking and moving more than usual.

Anyway, me being the person who loves moving furniture every once in a while, I figured the bed would be fine if I moved it. I was able to get it halfway across the room until it all started falling. The sides came apart, the headboard and the end came apart, the wooden slats fell, the mattress got lopsided…it was a mess. So because of my stupid desire to rearrange, our one bed is now useless and we have to buy one. Will probably have to sleep on the floor today because earliest delivery is tomorrow and my car can’t fit a frame from IKEA.

Tl;dr: me, an idiot, wanted to rearrange and the already weak frame fell apart from all my tugging and pushing

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 ...
