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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
