TIFU by talking to someone's dog

I was in the parking lot of the vet's office, waiting with my dog for his appointment. The car next to me had a man and two dogs, tinted windows that were cracked a few inches. A nurse comes out and towards his car, saying "Athena and Rocky? We're ready for you" The guy says "Okay, let's start with her and when she's done we'll switch" and he gets out of the car with the dog and goes inside. The other dog immediately starts barking and crying. I feel sad for him, so I roll my window down and loudly say "It's okay Rocky! He'll be back soon! You're a good boy, good Rocky!" and then I see a woman sit up and peer out over the tinted window at me with a really confused expression on her face. I really had thought Rocky was alone in there! So then I felt real awkward and I look at my dog and say "Good boy Rocky! It's almost our turn! Good Rocky!" like trying to cover up that I was talking to her dog? And then a different nurse comes out and heads my way saying "Are you here with Banjo?" and I had to just hang my head and say "Yep, this is Banjo" I was so embarrassed. It's been 12 hours and I'm still embarrassed.

​

TLDR: lady saw me talking to her dog and I failed at playing it off like I was talking to my own dog.

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 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 ...
