TIFU by eating nettle soup

So this morning I was at a market fair type thing in my local town. There are all sorts of stalls selling arts, crafts, food, clothing, you get the idea.

Anyway, I'm walling through the stalls, and out of the corner of my eye, something catches my eye. 'FREE SAMPLES'. Immediately I hurry over to the stall as it seems like they are running out, and free stuff is free stuff right?

So I pick it up and see that it is a little tub (50ml) of nettle soup. I put it in my pocket, and soon I go home. As I am walking home, I'm feeling a little peckish, so i decide to have a little taste of the nettle soup. I take of the lid, and give it a little smell. It smells awesome. I know the soup is cold at the moment, but I can't resit a quick taste. So I dip my finger in and lick the soup off my finger.

IT IS DISGUSTING. LIKE COMPLETELY REVOLTING. I immediately start spitting it out into a nearby bush. I am in awe. How can something taste so bad? I rinse my mouth out with water for a good few minutes until the taste disappears.

Then I look at the tub to read the ingredients, to try and find out what was so bad about this nettle soup. And that's when I read the label again, and realise it was not nettle soup, it was in fact nettle soap. On the bright side, at least I have a clean mouth now.

​

TLDR: Got a free sample of nettle soup. Ate it, it was disgusting, turns out I did not read the label and it was actually nettle soap.

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 ...
