TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by accidentally scaring an old lady

Didn't happen today but thought I'd share. So my office manager at work is 61 and she is an absolute babe (she's not a regular mom, she's a cool mom' vibe). We have great banter and can be quite boisterous together.

Anyway, I was coming out of the tube station the other day and I thought I saw her, there was a lady quite far ahead of me who had the the height, hair cut, and also dressed the same way as my office manager. So I called my office manager's name out a couple of times, and she didn't turn around so I thought that she couldn't hear me or had headphones in or something.

I ran up to her so I was side by side, and went 'OI' really loudly and to my horror, it was not her, but an older than 61 year old lady. I was absolutely mortified, the poor woman jumped out of her skin, I jumped out of mine on realising it wasn't who I thought it was, and I immediately started apologising profusely and explained that I thought she was someone else.

A couple of people witnessed this and burst out laughing and I could not get away fast enough at that point. Poor thing. I hope she is having a good day.

Tldr; I spooked an old lady by shouting loudly at her thinking it was someone else

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...
