TIFU by napping after school (I’m a teacher in Kuwait)

So I was exhausted after school and couldn’t focus on my work so decided to have a short nap, but suddenly my alarm went off and it was 5:30 am. I was still exhausted so pressed snooze, but the next time I woke up to check the time it was 6! I had accidentally turned my alarm off instead of snoozed! So now I’m panicking that I’m going to miss the bus. So I jump out of bed, hop in the shower, shower super fast, swallow a bowl of cereal, get dressed, pack my lunch, pack my bag, throw my shoes on, and run out of my apartment. Suddenly, I realise I can’t hear the elevator constantly dinging, as it does every morning with all the teachers in my apartment building leaving at the same time… so I look at my phone again, 6:23, no I haven’t missed the bus yet so what’s wrong?! And that’s when it dawns on me… it’s 6:23pm. I dreamt my alarm. I was in such disbelief I literally googled the time in Kuwait - maybe my phone was wrong?! Then I text my neighbour, yup, it’s evening and I’m an idiot. Well at least I have time to lesson plan this evening now…

Tldr: I thought I slept until morning and panicked to get ready but it was evening still.

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 ...
