TIFU sending the wrong file to a job application

Okay this is the probably dumbest thing I've ever done and it's hopefully something I can laugh about in a matter of time. I am so full of shame.

I sent a letter for an application for a job (I'm 20 btw)

Typed a perfect motivation letter and at the end I wrote: "YOU BETTER HIRE ME YOU DUMB FCKING WHRE". I wanted to send it to a good friend of mine with something like "you think they'll appreciate this?".

I know it's not even that funny but we send stupid jokes to each other a lot. (I didn't even send it to my friend because I didn't even like it as a joke myself) So as you can probably guess I sent an E-mail with my résumé and the motivation letter with that still at the end of the letter..

I almost got a heart attack when I found out so I sent another letter saying I shared the letter with a friend so he could check if it was a good letter and that he typed is as a joke for me.

Of course I apologized and wrote it was never my intention to sent this. I want to take responsibility for the things I do but this.. I just couldn't tell the truth.

I just can't imagine what it must be like opening the letter and seeing that at the bottom.

This happened two days ago and this morning I woke up with an E-mail from them (I was shaking when I saw I got a response) I must be the luckiest guy because the mail said they wouldn't forward the E-mail to the people who decide about hiring me and will accept a new E-mail from me with "no shenanigans".

I'm really gonna try to see this as a huge learning moment, not only to be more carefull when I send something out but also to realize that the language I used just wasn't necessary or funny in any way.

Sincerely, The dumbass

TL;DR: I sent out an E-mail for application with a file with my motivation letter that had a rude text at the bottom that was meant for a friend of mine as a joke.

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...
