TIFU by eating beef jerky

TIFU by pinning a female batchmate on Google meet and then sharing my screen

I am a freshman at college and that day we were having our second maths tutorial. It was on Google meet (with videos off) due to COVID restrictions. So basically, I was on a meet with a bunch of strangers that were going to be my friends for atleast the next four years and fucked up in the beginning. Maths has always been my least favorite subject and has always bored me to death. So as usual was getting bored out of my mind while the other students and the TA were discussing answers. was just scrolling through the list of participants aimlessly, looking at people's pfp and getting familiar with the facesl was going to meet very soon after the soul crushing lockdowns. Then noticed a girl with specs on the list and tbh she kinda looked cute. But her dp was a bit out of focus and blurry. So decided to look closer and pinned her on my screen to get a better look at her face. Then I hear a voice calling for my name and asking me to share my solution to a problem. I panicked and started to search for the file with my answers on the computer and shared my screen as soon as opened the file. Unaware that the girl's pfp was still pinned to my screen. Even after stopped sharing my screen, was unaware of what had just done. Few weeks later, today, my friend who was also on that meet told me what had happened that day. I am more embarassed than I have felt ever before.

TL;DR - Pinned my female batchmate on my screen to get a better look at her pfp because it was blurry and then shared my screen to present an answer to the TA, unaware that they can see that I had pinned the girl to my screen.

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...
