TIFU By joining a zoom job interview via meeting link

TIFU signing into a virtual job interview. I was using my personal laptop that I don’t use that often and joined the zoom via a link in the meeting details. I entered the meeting and then my heart dropped. Since I signed on with that link, the place where you enter your name along with the meeting ID never popped up. It went with the name I had used for my last zoom session, which happened to be “bitch”.

I panicked and signed out immediately and typed my actual name. I was a couple of minutes early and did not see anyone in the meeting yet, so I figured I was in the clear. Then I checked my phone and I had a text from the recruiter I had been working with.

Her: “Hurry up and change your zoom name it says bitch!”

Oh god. Now I’m sweating and the interview is starting. The entire time I’m wondering if the interviewer saw my original sign in.

Once it was over I texted the recruiter and apologized profusely. She let me know we caught it before the hiring manager saw and she said she got a good laugh out of it.

Be careful out there zoomers!!

TL;DR the last time I used zoom I put in “bitch” as my name and that was used when I auto joined a zoom interview via the meeting link

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 ...
