TIFU by letting my Italian family know I did not like olives

Yes you're reading it right. Olives. When I was younger, putting the whole black olive on your fingers at family events was what I did. Was it sanitary? Absolutely not but my whole family was very hands on.( any olives us children put on our fingers didn't go back into the common dish, they were eaten or thrown away) Well I'm 25 now & I still will not eat them. Never had & never will. Well our family just celebrated my great aunts 70th birthday & we went all out. All types of food in the house but especially olives.

I think about it now, like you've gone this long without it being a problem, why would you make one now? I didn't. I simply told my cousin I didn't want any salad with olives & it wasn't a huge ordeal. Everyone decided we were going to make our own personal little pizzas. This is where shit hit the fan. As were preparing the pizzas for the oven, my aunt realizes my pizza is the only one without olives. She sincerely feels like I might've missed out or there wasn't enough. I told her no, that I preferred mine without. Well that small comment went through the whole house & basically I was interrogated about the olives & "how could I be italian without liking them".

Now I've been disowned temporarily (just a joke) & my whole family is giving me shit & roasting me for fucking olives. I'll never let them know again something I don't like again.

TL;DR I fucked up by telling my family I didn't like olives & having a scene made over it.

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 ...
