TIFU by making my sergeant think I'm suicidal

Today I went to the DFAC to get a shitty breakfast and ran into my sergeant there. I hadn't shaved and she scolded me for it. I told her I slept in today and would shave before I got to work.

Then the conversation went like this.

Sergeant: "Sleep eh? You like sleeping soldier?" (Who the hell asks were questions like this? Who would say no?)

Me: "Yes Sergeant. I want eternal sleep."

Sergeant: "...Solider, are you suicidal?"

Me: "No sergeant! I want to be alive, just not conscious!" (Why the fuck did I say this? Why didn't I just say I was exaggerating?)

Sergeant: "Not conscious? So... Dead? Soldier, I'm referring you to behavioral health!"

I just told her "Yes Sergeant" after that and now I have an appointment with behavioral health next month. Fuck.

TL;DR: made my sergeant think I'm suicidal because I said I wanted to sleep forever.

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 ...
