TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by nicking myself while trimming my pubes and missing my date because my bathroom looked like a scene out of Dexter

I (24m) had a breakup somewhat recently and am just starting to get over it/ get excited about meeting new people. I met this really cute girl through some of my friends that is maybe a little out of my league and I was really excited to go out with her. Ive been taking care of myself much better physically lately, and I also felt the need to impress.

Now, I didn’t have hugely overgrown pubes or anything, but I thought I would go ahead and trim them down before the date to make sure I was looking good. This is where the TIFU happened. I somehow managed to nick the area between the shaft and balls quite badly with my electric razor (Not sure how I managed this), but almost immediately blood just starts gushing out. Like, a surprising amount of blood. I was frantically wiping away the blood with toilet paper and had a freak out moment. A lot was going through my mind. Do I need to go to the ER? Are one of my testicles going to just pop out of my scrotum? Will the bleeding stop?

At this point, I started feeling pretty woozy and did a little fall/ slide down the wall to reach a semi-prone position on the floor while holding tightly onto the giant wad of tissue that I believed was holding my testicles in. As I looked around the bathroom and saw the scene, I realized my hot date plans had just turned into me spending the night nursing my wounded testicles.

I ended up texting my date that my dog was sick because I’m a coward, and I think my excuse was a little lackluster because she was kind of just like, “ok”. But, to be fair, I was still in a panic when I sent that. It is now the next morning and the bleeding has finally stopped and I still have both testicles, however, I have definitely lost a date, lol. Also, the amount of blood definitely didn’t fit the size of the wound.

TL;DR: Nicked my nuts while shaving and had to miss my date due to the sheer quantity of blood that resulted.

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...
