TIFU by making a charcuterie board for Christmas Eve dinner

Unlike many posts I see come up, this one actually did happen today and I am still paying the price as I type and wait for the next wave of misery.

One thing my wife and I have embraced in recent years is taking it easy on ourselves and keeping things simple. All too often the holidays become stressful with everything there is to do. When the subject of meals for Christmas came up (and I saw my wife's expression of "ah, fuck, another thing to figure out"), I suggested something different and low key - a charcuterie board that we could snack on while watching movies.

Being in the Midwest, there's plenty of great cheeses to choose from. I picked up some brie, a nice smoked gruyere, havarti, and a few others along with summer sausage, salami, and various crackers, etc. My first fuck up was loading up on the soft cheeses, which I don't normally eat and tend to have more lactose.

The spread looked glorious and my second fuck up was totally losing track of how much I ate while we watched the Muppet Christmas Carol (annual tradition). Within an hour or so my stomach was gurgling.

Shortly after putting our son to bed I got the sense that I might be in trouble. The gurgling intensified and worked its way lower. Fortunately, we were able to play Santa and carry up all the presents from the basement before all hell broke loose and my body started slamming the eject button. I'm now starting to question if I might actually be a bit lactose intolerant as I make my fourth trip to the bathroom and cramp up so hard I turn cross-eyed. Not how I wanted to spend Christmas Eve.

TLDR; tried to be cute with the wife and have a charcuterie board for dinner. Ended up spending all night on the toilet and will totally not be ready to wake up when our toddler comes busting in our room shouting "Santa came!"

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...
