TIFU by being caught on a flight "watching gay porn"

A few years ago, I was in the USA and flicking through the channels on the TV in the hotel, I saw a drama with Adam Driver in it. Having recently seen him in Star Wars, I was curious to see him in something else. Turns out it was the HBO comedy-drama Girls). That particular episode had him furiously masturbating on the opposite end of a sofa to one of said girls (Jessa - Jemima Kirke). I was hooked.

For those of you who haven't seen it, it revolves around the lives of some young women in New York. It's a bit like Sex And The City but they're less attractive and not as wealthy. They made 6 series (60 episodes in all) and there's quite a bit of sex/nudity in it. They film it pretty raw so when a couple are fucking, they're both properly naked, not just wriggling around under some sheets. One of the fairly major characters is the room-mate of the main protagonist, a gay man called Elijah (Andrew Rannells).

At the time, I was doing a lot of flying around the US so downloaded the entire box set onto my iPad to while away the hours (with noise cancelling headphones). In one particular story arc, the aforementioned Elijah starts dating a TV news anchor Dill (Corey Stoll). As their relationship progresses, they naturally end up having sex and although it's only on screen for a few seconds, it's essentially two naked men vigorously humping. Bear in mind that this is in, I think, season 5 and probably amounts to under 10 seconds of the 3,600 seconds total, it was at this exact moment that the American Airlines stewardess came round to see if I wanted a drink. Before I could explain, she exclaimed "Oh my!" and hurried off.

TL;DR - flight attendant mistook a sex scene in a drama for actual gay porn

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...
