TIFU by not standing by my gf

So, this happened last night actually, but I digress. My (28m) gf (28f) and I went to Universal Studios for a friend's bday. We were having a good time going through the mazes. Then, we decide to check out the Mummy ride. And that's where shit goes downhill.

We spent about an hour and some change waiting in line. Finally, we make it to the front. The ride seats 4 people a row, so it's me, my gf, and two of her friends. GF goes first, and I decide to be a gentleman and let her friends get seated before me. So, the seats are as follows. Me, FRIEND, FRIEND, GF.

There's just one problem, my GF can't get her seat restrainer all the way down. Yes, after the events, she disclosed to me that she's pushing 300 and has never felt so big. After a minute of trying to get it down, the operator tells her that she's gotta come off so the ride can go. She obliges.

The other problem is that I'm locked in my seat, and can't be by her side. I'm bad with social cues, but I know I should've spoken up and asked to be let off too(For the record, the ride wasn't worth the wait). What drives me even crazier is that I had her phone on me for safe-keeping. So in that moment, I know she must've really felt by herself.

After the ride, I'm panicking looking for her, and find her crying on the bench. I tell her how sorry I am, and she tells me how embarrassing that was for her. It doesn't help that she's recently told me that she doesn't like how she looks. I really can't imagine how that must've felt. I just wish I could redo that moment and just be beside her.

TL;DR My gf was too big to get on a ride, and I deeply regret not getting off and being with her.

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 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 ...
