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 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...
