TIFU by shaving my thighs

It all started on a Monday afternoon, me being the stupid guy that I am thought to myself if it would be a good idea to shave my thighs. I have really hairy legs in general and the thighs were no exception, pretty standard for a guy tbh.

Most people would use maybe shaving cream or soap so as to not get any skin irritation, either I was a masochist that day or I wanted to teach future me a lesson because I raw dogged it and didn’t use any cream or soap at all. 3 bladed razor and moving very quickly against sensitive skin is a beautiful storm that just arrived yesterday. What was even stupider is I shaved them in a way that it stops at the knees so that when I were shorts it looks like I didn’t shave my thighs at all.

I am now riddled with skin irritation, razor burn and pimples here and there. Anywhere I sit is uncomfortable, either with it or without pants. Anytime I get goosebumps my thighs burn in pain. The itching is well as horrible as one would expect. The amount of red patches on my skin may look like I was whipping myself with a belt continuously.

Vaseline can only do so much, now I’m essentially a freshly peeled potato if I do put any cream on me legs, slipping from your grip at any chance it has. Currently it is 1am on a Wednesday and I’m listening to Mastodon so as to try and distract myself from The Motherload (pun intended) of pain I feel.

TL;DR I shaved my thighs without using any sort of shaving cream, I have full on skin irritation and my legs are now redder than a lobster

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
