TIFU Thought She Was 17. She Wasn’t.

So it should really be yesterday. And throwaway because if my brother finds out, my life won’t be worth living. I initially posted on AITA but it got taken down because relationships aren’t allowed.

So, I’m a 18M. I’ve been talking to a girl I met through online gaming. She said she was 17F. We’d been talking for about a month. We’d swapped numbers, been texting and Whatsapping and even sent photos. We seemed to have a lot in common and she honestly seemed really cool. We only live about an hour away from each other.

Things were going well, so we made plans to meet up at a midway point yesterday. I suggested a cafe I know; it’s quiet, but public. I know meeting someone for the first time can be daunting, particularly for a young woman.

I got there first and grabbed a table. I settled down to wait. But when she turned up, it was immediately obvious that she was a hellova lot younger than she had said. She had a lot of make up on and she still wouldn’t have got into a 15 movie without ID.

My first reaction was disbelief - she was not the person I had been expecting. Then she quotes back our last flirtatious conversation and I saw red.

I asked her bluntly and probably rudely how old she really was. She continued to claim 17. I called bullshit. I bluntly told her to prove it or stop bullshitting me. I got up to leave and she burst into tears saying she didn’t have a ride home. I told her to call her parents. We had five to ten minutes of me refusing to drive he anywhere. I was not having a minor I had been flirting with alone in my car for any time. She eventually calls her father.

I hung about while she waited for him. I might be furious but I’m still not going to leave a child alone in a random city. It perhaps goes without saying that dad was seriously unimpressed. I think if we hadn’t still been in public, he’d probably have punched me. As it was I got a right bollocking. Because yeah, I’d been flirting with his THIRTEEN year old daughter for weeks. I laid out the timeline, the messages and the photos - turns out those were her actually seventeen year old sister. I think he was more furious at her than me by the end.

TL;DR I nearly got done for child grooming because I organised a date with a thirteen year old after flirting with her for weeks. My friends think it’s fucking hilarious that I got catfished by an actual child and I can’t tell my family because my brother would never let me forget it.

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 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 ...
