TIFU - I (20)M) accidentally pushed girlfriend (18F) over in supermarket

We was shopping and just playing about together, we kept tripping eachother over and pushing eachother jokingly. But at one point I fully pushed her over, I’m not sure if she slipped or I just pushed her too hard. I can only imagine how embarrassing it was for her, everyone kept asking if she was okay, probably thinking she was with an abusive boyfriend. She was in a abusive relationship in the past and I can’t help but feel a lot like him, embarrassing her like that in public is the worst thing I’ve ever done. I’ve said sorry a lot since we got back but can imagine that doesn’t really help. She’s been okay with me but has mentioned that her hip hurts and I just feel awful. I haven’t even looked her in the eyes since we got back, we were supposed to go out for food but ended up staying in, I just can’t help but feel like this has changed her view on me.

TL;DR Pushed girlfriend over in busy supermarket, feel like her abusive ex

UPDATE: After some flowers and some food, we spoke and she was completely fine about it. Said she was obviously embarrassed about it and that she got her feet messed up (I’m sure she’s only saying this to make me feel better lol she’s too sweet for me) and things are all good. For the future I just need to be aware of the size difference and be gentle. Thanks for everyone’s help 🙏, much appreciated

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
