TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by checking my baggage

This happened earlier this week.

I spent last weekend visiting family in Utah (I live in Virginia). The morning of my flight home, I had my car and apartment keys in my hand, and thought "If I take these out of my luggage, it'll be one more thing I have to keep track of, but if I leave them in I know they won't be going anywhere." So I left them in my checked baggage, handed the luggage off to the American Airlines rep, and hopped on the plane. Also in the luggage was my three year old goddaughter's teddy bear; she wanted me to have it on the flight to 'protect me from the virus'.

Well, my keys didn't go anywhere, and neither did the rest of my luggage; it never made it to Virginia. I found this out when I landed at 11:30 PM. After 18 hours of dealing with baggage services, we worked out that my luggage never left the airport in Salt Lake City. The airport staff can't find the bags, so I had to get replacement car keys and a rental while I was waiting for the new keys, which were not cheap. Also missing is the teddy bear, which my goddaughter is heartbroken over. I feel terrible for losing it. She's being reasonable for a three year old, which makes me feel even worse. Her parents have a replacement bear for situations like this, but she says it isn't the same, and I don't blame her. If the stuff I lost is gone, I can buy more, but her bear can't be replaced.

TL;DR Checked baggage included my goddaughter's teddy bear; it's currently in the same place as the Amber Room and Amelia Earhart.

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...
