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 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...
