TIFU by using a random Porta Potty on an abandoned lot

This happened about 2 hours ago and I have a little bit of time on my lunch break so let me drop the situation on how I almost met god today.

I work as a Splicer for a certain ISP so my day is pretty much spent in the streets. The specific city I live in has a lot of renovations and new construction going on so I’m blessed to have access to porta pottys pretty much anywhere I go.

I had just finished up on a job took longer than expected so I had a bladder that I desperately needed to relieve. I drove down the street and a few minutes later I saw the one that would bring me close to death.

I didn’t think much of it but now looking back, there was a few red flags about this home. It looks like it hasn’t been touched in months, exterior Tyvek was coming off, weeds everywhere and no construction workers in sight.

I parked my work van a few feet away and I felt that the dams were about to burst. I step in to the Porta Potty, lock the door and went on about my business. I looked around and saw that the last service date was around march but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I let my thoughts meander and I’m filled with relief as I continue to drain the hose. While about halfway through I heard some small wings flapping near my ear and something land on my ear. I am deathly afraid of bugs and once this happened, chills ran down my spine as I made a sound similar to young cow getting dropped kicked off a 24 story building. I squealed and got so scared that the stream stopped on its own. As secured my the goods, internal panic sets in as my instincts made force my body to exit without thinking and I ran straight into the door. I hit the door with enough force to yeet a toddler. I forgot that I locked the door. Fight or flight kicked in as a heard the amount of wings buzzing behind me multiply. Chills run down my spine as I remembered that I locked the door. My brain kicked into slow motion, I saw my life flash before my eyes as I turn the handle and sprint out like Jesse Owens as soon as he heard the starting shot. I ran to my work van with speed that my high school self would be shocked to see, tried to slide over my hood like a Kroger version of starsky and hutch, jumped in the van and looked back, I saw at least 20-30 wasp buzzing around the porta potty door and I looked at the top and saw the wasp nest on the chimney. I catch my breath, clean my hands and drove off praying that no one saw what just happened.

TL:DR - I used a Porta Potty not knowing there was a wasp nest that made it it’s home.

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 ...
