TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by getting paranoid and exposing myself on instagram live

(Throwaway because this is genuinely too embarrassing to post on my normal account. )

I (a legal adult, don’t worry) sometimes have some pretty ridiculous paranoia, and today one one of those times. I saw some creepy post, ironically enough on this app, and it threw me off all day. So badly so that when I got a shower, I was nearly paralyzed in fear that something was going to be outside the curtain when I got out.

My entire household was asleep, and obviously I’m not going to wake someone up and have them watch me get out of the shower, so for some reason I decided the next best thing to do was to go on to my Instagram account and start up a live video. That way, if anything happened to be there, at least there would kind of be people there with me. One crucial detail I had forgotten was my mirror is directly across from the shower. So, after waiting a second for a few people to come onto the live, I bravely yank the curtain back as fast as I could.

Promptly revealing my entire naked body in the mirror.

I turned the camera away and ended it as quickly as I could, but the damage had definitely been done. Thankfully my account is private and the only people on there were friends, but I am still so embarrassed I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look anyone of them in the eyes again. On the slightly bright side, this was so mortifying that the paranoia is no longer taking over my mind!

Tl;DR- in a bouta of paranoia about something being outside my shower, I went on Instagram live to have someone with me to make sure nothing was there. Yanked the shower curtain open to fully frontal flash the people on there

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...
