TIFU by letting my kid pick out his own beach towel.

This is true TIFU because it happened earlier today. It was the last day of school for my elementary school kid. As we are getting ready for school he tells me that he needs to bring a beach towel to school today. They will be eating outdoors and he needs something to sit on.

I have been pushing my kid to be more independent and to do things on his own. The beach towels are on the top shelf I tell him that there are plenty to choose from just get the stool, pick one out, and put it in the backpack. I should have been more suspicious on how quickly he completed the task.

When I go to pick him up his teacher is escorting him. She asks me if I knew about the towel he brought. Confused I asked my kid which one he brought and he says the white one on the bottom shelf. I immediately turn red because the bottom shelf is filled with linens we never use including the dick towel my brother in law gifted my husband a few years back. I apologize profusely and return to my car to die of embarrassment. Thank God this happened on the last day of school because I am not sure I could face her again.

TLDR - asked my kid to pick out a beach towel to take to school and he chooses the dick towel.

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 ...
