TIFU by not pausing the movie before answering the door

Obligatory this didn’t happen today but a few years ago. For context, my husband and I have a lady in our neighborhood who sells handmade seasonal wreaths. We buy one from her so we can support local yada yada. She shows us pictures of the ones she’s made and if they’re sold out, she can make another one and will come by our house later when it’s ready.

Now on that evening, I was supposed to go with my husband to his company’s work party. I felt like I was coming down with a cold so I decided to stay home with our dog. Since it was Spooktober, I decided it would be best to rewatch one of my favorite movies Bram Stoker’s Dracula. My husband let our neighbor know that I will be home so she can come by with the wreath.

I make dinner for myself, take some cold medicine and drink some herbal tea and watch the movie. I start feeling sleepy: it was either a food coma or the cold medicine, or both when the doorbell rings. I immediately get up, wanting to beat my dog to the door that I forgot to pause the movie.

As I get the wreath from our neighbor, the movie is at the part where Lucy gets bitten. As she gets bitten, she makes moaning sounds. Now my neighbor didn’t know it was a vampire movie and her eyes widen with horror since she thought I was watching porn with my dog. She immediately hightailed it out of there. She hasn’t come by to sell wreaths ever since.

TL,DR: Didn’t pause Bram Stoker’s Dracula while answering the door so when Lucy gets bitten, she moans which made my neighbor think I was watching porn with my dog.

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 ...
