TIFU By covering myself in shit

Obligatory this didn’t happen today but quite a few years ago.

Background: So it was just after Christmas, and I feel this is a very British thing to do, all the kids (me included) had gotten a lynx set, one of which had come with the black loofah with the scratchy pad on the back. This will be important.

To the fuck up. Early evening I went up to go and have a shower, do all the usual, get your towels etc and strip down to my birthday suit.

Hop in the shower, do my hair, shampoo etc, put my conditioner in. Now I always wash my body while I let the conditioner sit for a few minutes.

I don’t know how I didn’t see what was wrong, but I pick up this BLACK loofah, put some body wash on it, again I apparently see nothing wrong.

I close my eyes (WHY) and proceed to work from my tootsies to my chest. As you do.

I suddenly become aware while washing my chesticles, of a very obscene and violent attack on my nostrils. I slow down with the body scrubbing while my brain catches up.

I open my eyes.

I am completely brown. Chest to toe, brown.

Then the realization hits, and I glance at the loofah.

And sat there in it’s little black nest of loofah, is a nugget of shit. Human shit. And it’s not mine. Due to the loofah being black, the shit was not immediately obvious.

I throw down the loofah while violently wrenching realizing I have become a human shit popsicle.

We’ve got a bottle of hand sanitizer on the windowsill which I grab a handful of along with more body wash and get to work getting this SHIT OFF ME.

I was aggressively sandpapering my own body for a good 10 minutes, gradually calming down until I am no longer wrenching and gagging.

I get myself to a clean state, grab the towel, wrap myself, and just begin to cry.

I waddled out onto the landing, curled up into a ball and just cried. I felt personally attacked and violated. My mother then goes to the bottom of the stairs and asks me why I’m a hot mess.

My response?

“THERE WAS SHIT IN THE LOOFAH”

The next 15 minutes was me explaining to my whole family the assault I had just imposed on myself and my pride while tears streamed down my face.

To this day, I will never use a black loofah ever again.

TL;DR Used a black loofah which had shit in it which I didn’t spot, to clean my whole body, will no longer buy or use a black loofah again.

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...
