TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU When my girlfriend found my old porn stash.

Not today, but about 20 years ago.

I had been dating this girl for a few months. The two of us ended up moving in together before long. I was very happy in the relationship, she seemed to be also. Things went very well for a few years. We talked about marriage, and eventually a couple kids. I genuinely loved this girl. Then one day, out of the blue, she fell completely cold to me. Would look at me with disgust when she could find it within herself to talk to me. I had no idea what was going on. I know she had some mental health issues in the past, but her depression wasn't that bad anymore. Not near as bad as it very recently had become. She had bad days, but nothing like this. After a couple weeks of getting the cold shoulder every time we saw each other, she informed me she was moving out. She ended up shacking up with her best friend who was "like a brother" to her. I was devastated. It took me a long time to get over what had happened. I had no idea what went wrong other than her continually telling me "You're not the person I thought you were."

Fast forward a couple years. I bump into my Ex while out at the park enjoying the sun one day. My heart had healed, and I was quite happy to see her. She was a bit taken back by me being there, but things were quite cordial. We chatted briefly before curiosity got the worst of me. I had to find out what went wrong between us. What did I do that was so bad, she could just walk away? She again informed me "You're not the person I thought you were, and you're lucky I didn't call the police on you." ?!? WTF? I was so confused. I told her I needed her to elaborate.

She informed me she was snooping through an old box of stuff I had in the back of a closet. I knew what box she was talking about, as I only had the one box of things I hadn't unpacked after moving in with her. It was full of old VHS tapes, and some cassettes and CD's. Old pictures and whatnot. I didn't think too much about it, but recalled a couple old porn videos I had from before I had met her. I asked her if it was the porn video's she found, and she confirmed. She couldn't believe I was into underage boys? Again, I was ?!? WTF are you talking about. She mentioned the title of one of the porno's I had was "Where the boys aren't 12" I was so confused. This girl I had one loved thought I was into kiddy porn? I was so shocked with disbelief, I felt like I was going to vomit. It took me a moment to regain my composure. I was heartbroken all over again. I had no Idea what she was talking about. That's when it occurred to me what might of happened.

When I got home that day, I had to look through the old box I had (Yes, I hadn't gotten arid of it a couple years later.) I found the old porn tapes she had found. They were all lesbian porn. Sure enough, one of them was labeled "Where the boys aren't 12"

I stared in disbelief. If only the production company of the porn had thought to put "Volume 12" on the label or "Part 12". Nope. They labelled it "Where the boy's aren't 12" not "Where the boys aren't." "Volume 12". It was the 12th part of a series.

She had assumed it was kiddy porn, and I can't really blame her. I wouldn't have put the tape in the VCR to see what was on it if I were her either.

I honestly had a bit of a meltdown that day. My heart fell into my gut again. That was the worst fuck up I've ever had.

That was the day I threw out all my porn.

I eventually got a chance to inform her what had happened through one of her friends and was able to clear the air, but even 20 years later, this is still a hard pill to swallow. I am so grateful she didn't call the police that day. Thing's might have somehow turned out worse for me.

I like to tell this story at gatherings with friends now though. Even though its at my expense, it's great for a few laughs.

TL;DR Girlfriend of 3 years dumps me after finding what she thought was kiddy porn. She misinterpreted the label. Left me for her friend. Breaks my heart and will to live. I got over it, and was able to have a good laugh eventually.

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...
