TIFU by ducking up my squad

I'm a police officer and my Sargent gave us a talk on police uniform rules, what personal items we can and cannot have in patrol vehicles, so on an so forth.

During my free time I ride my bike, so I have my gear and accessories which, include rubber ducks with a helmet and glasses, they also make a squeaky sound that I use in traffic lights to mess with people.

Forward to a few hours ago, I had to pick up a Christmas themed duck but I couldn't put it in my locker so I had it in the patrol car. My Sargent usually makes us check for any trash or "unauthorized" items and dispose of them that's when I realized my duck was in the glove compartment. Sargent found it and called us into attention. Then gave the talk and out of his holster pulled out the rubber duck and said, "to help you learn a lesson and to lighten the mood let's play a game... Of duck" and sat us down in a circle facing inward. He would go around squeaking and that started to get funny but I held my laughter to the point of almost crying. Then my time came, he made the sound and I broke into laughter.

Long story short I'll be wearing this duck for the rest of the year and me and my squad have to do extra chores during which, everyone will be wearing a duck for my Sargent's enjoyment. So far only three or four squads have laughed at us. I know it's my fault and my squad won't call my name, only "Pato", or duck in Spanish.

TL;DR I had a hobby that got my squad "ducked" up for being funny and irresponsible

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...
