TIFU by continuously poisoning myself

As the title suggests, this has been happening over about the past week and I just realized today what has probably been going on.

I have 2 water bottles that I cycle through. I’ll usually go a few weeks or even months (until now, I’ve learned my lesson) between washes because I put ONLY water in them.

Anyways, since early last week I’ve been having random bouts of diarrhea sporadically. My college graduation was last Thursday, so leading up to that I figured I was just nervous and my body was reacting. Well I’m a few days past that now and it started happening again at work today. Whenever it happens, I start drinking more water because I figure I might be dehydrated and the diarrhea is furthering that. I went to go refill my water bottle late this morning at work and started to see some black “flakes” in my bottle. After further inspection, I realized there was a lot. I dumped out the water, rinsed it a few times, and filled it again. Still black flakes. Things finally connected in my brain and I dumped the water, left my bottle by my lunch bag and grabbed a single use bottle out of the fridge at work. I think I got to the bottom of my stomach issues…

TL;DR I do not wash my water bottles enough and am facing the consequences.

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 ...
