TIFU by telling my minor coworker to “nail me”.

This actually happened today and I’m still embarrassed 5 hours later. For a little context I’m 22 (F) and work in a garden center in a management position. Occasionally we have to build certain structures like A-frames and tiered displays etc. So today I enlisted the help of my 16 year old male coworker for help with a project. He was “holding the flashlight” so to say, handing over tools and whatnot. Well I needed a nail. So instead of just saying so like a normal person, I blurted “Hey, nail me!” And instantly realized how wrong it sounded. He let out a giggle and said something like “Um I don’t think…that’s not..” and I replied “oh you know what I meant.” But it doesn’t end there. I then escaped to the back room to die and also tell my other (adult) coworker what I accidentally said. So I proceeded to explain to my coworker, who’s holding scissors “you know, like if you’re helping me and I need those, I hold out my hand and I say, “scissor me.” NO. That’s not what I say, ever again, unless it’s a beer, because that’s the only item that sounds appropriate to use the phrase with and I will never live this down. TL;DR Today I, the manager, inoccently but embarrassingly, told one coworker to nail me and another to scissor me all within five minutes. Great.

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 ...
