TIFU by eating the wrong jelly beans

Set the stage; I have been working for a few months in an area with a reputation for alcoholism for long-term occupants. I enjoy a good beer from time to time. I also enjoy a bad beer. In the immortal words of Psychostick, "Beer is good".

When I was shopping for groceries a few weeks before I left, I stumbled upon Jelly Belly brand draft beer flavored jelly beans (recommended, by the way). I was jealously hoarding them during my trip. I had one tiny bag left when I got home. Being home, I decided to enjoy them at 9am. So far, so good. I am enjoying life at home without rules.

Unfortunately, there was a problem. My girlfriend was very excited to see me, on account of being gone for a while. She comes over about an hour later, and in a fantastic mood. She comes over to me, and then pushes me back and says, tone thick with anger "You've been drinking already? It's *nine in the morning*.

Now, I sure as hell have not been drinking, because I'm not a savage who drinks at 9am. But she does not believe me. I can't figure out why she thinks I've been drinking so early in the morning. We have a nice, brief fight about it where she decides that its not worth fighting over. We go about our day for a little while, and then she sees the empty jelly bean container and does the math and *breaks down laughing* and asks if I have been eating jelly beans. And I have been. and we have a good laugh about the tension caused by like 5 (fantastic) jelly beans.

​

TL;DR: Beer flavored jelly beans and a work trip make my girlfriend think I am now an alcoholic

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 ...
