TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by Asking about one question too many about handcuffs.

Obligatory not today. After our Thanksgiving feast we all decided to play Jackbox (for the two of you who don't know, it's a set of party games you play on your phones with one tv screen displaying information for everyone). We played fakin' it, where each round one person is the faker and must answer questions they don't know without appearing suspicious. Round 2: first question: raise your hand if you've ever worn handcuffs for any reason. I thought back to my childhood and recalled playing with a pair of handcuffs in the room I shared with my brothers (before they moved out). They were toy handcuffs (with a tab that can release the grip and free your hands, and also a simple key), but handcuffs nonetheless. I decided is raise my hand. I knew my brother and his wife were probably into kinky stuff, so I knew they'd get outed by each other. I'm pretty sure my sister has been detained, so her hand would probably go up. Either way, she'd get outed by her husband (Also playing) who I had no clue on. That just left my mom. She's not the kind to ever get arrested and there's no way my mom was ever into kinky stuff, right? Not My Mom...right?

I watched her hand go up, but suspicion is immediately placed on my hand and everyone voted me as the faker. I explained the toy handcuffs i found, but everyone just laughed and went ahead with the vote. I got so caught up with defending myself I forgot to point out that Mom's hand went up too. Next question (I don't remember it), Mom's answer was met with suspicion and we promptly voted her as the faker. She was not. Here's the TIFU. I asked her when she wore handcuffs. I was expecting an answer like "my brother's a cop" or "I visited a police station when placing handcuffs on children was socially acceptable."

My friends, much awkward laughter was made in that short time which felt like eternity. My sister burst into "🎵When a MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN LOVES A WOMAN!!!🎶" All at once it clicked. Those handcuffs were not real, but they were also too well made to be a children's toy.

I had played with my parents kinky sex toy. I don't think I need to elaborate how that can scar even the most sex-deadened individuals.

TL/DR: I asked one question too many and discovered I had played with (one of?) my parents' kinky sex toy.

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...
