TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by drinking a Pepsi

My wife and I welcomed our twin boys into the world about 6 weeks ago. We’re still in that lovely phase of life wherein we don’t have a sleep schedule so much as we’re microdosing sleep. So yesterday night, we’re up at 4am feeding our boys. My wife handled the first twin, and I had the second. Well, Twin #1 (T1) finished his meal first, and my wife moved him over to a rocking chair where she gently rocked him back to sleep. Took about 20 minutes with him fighting sleep, but she got him. She gingerly set him down in his bassinet, and went back to sleep herself. Meanwhile, T2 was wrapping up his meal too. I got him up; burped him, and took him over to the rocking chair to rock him to sleep too. He was drifting off nicely. To avoid falling asleep myself, I was getting a needed hit of caffeine from a can of Pepsi. I took a medium sized sip, and set the can down. Not 30 seconds later I too felt the need to burp. No biggie, I’ll just let off a silent one, right?

NOPE. Between the empty stomach, the fizzy drink, the rocking, and the 8lb baby on top of my belly, i let out the longest, loudest belch I’d ever made unintentionally. The sonic belch I released spooked T2, which woke him up, and got him screaming, that screaming woke up the wife and T1. Worse yet, that spooked the cats and they started charging around the house meowing like crazy. Took another 2 hours for everyone to calm down. Whoops.

TL;DR one sip of pop turned me into a bursting balloon that woke up my whole family.

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...
