TIFU by giving my girlfriend a humiliating nickname

This happened a couple of years ago when me and my partner were about 6 months into our relationship.

We were at a meal with friends and they asked if we had nicknames for each other. We didn't, so one of our friends said we should show how much we know about each other and give each other a name based on something we know they like.

My girlfriend then says she guesses that makes me her little bird, as I love birds. Cute, harmless, some nice wholesome laughs.

Now I knew my girlfriend liked butterflies, and there is a rare one she particularly loves so I thought I'd be specific and use that. She's also extremely shy and reserved so it's quite fitting in many ways.

So the fuck up and the accidental double entendre only occurred to me the exact moment after I declared to the table that if her nickname is something she loves then hers must be Swallowtail. Suffice to say she was mortified as the table erupted with childish laughter and I had to frantically explain what I meant.

It took some serious apologising to assure her I didn't mean to humiliate her and had spoken without thinking, but luckily she did eventually see the funny side. She still thinks I'm an idiot, and rightly so. Luckily, the nickname didn't stick.

Tldr; Gave my girlfriend a butterfly-based nickname that suggested she loves oral sex.

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 ...
