TIFU by thinking I could post on Reddit

I will be surprised if this actually posts. So, I have been aware of Reddit for years. I read things on it all the time and get good information and tips. Stuff about news, games, even random information that I just happen to need at the time that I end up at via a Google search. So I decide ok I am going to make an account. Of course I am not cool enough to think of a good username so I keep the random one given to me, maybe that is a part of the fu. I read posts on here daily since I have joined. I have for months. I decide ok, I think I finally have something good to post outside of a question or two about some computer stuff. I post it, and I am like awesome I did it. Look at me go, I hope someone thinks it is cool like I do and maybe this will be the start of me getting out of my shell as just a spectator of sorts. Check my messages. Apparently it got deleted. My account is too new? How new is too new. It didn’t tell me that. It also said I didn’t have enough Karma or whatever it is called. Well how would I get that if I can’t post. I have tried other subs and attempted to post. Same issues. Ok, so maybe it’s because of all the bot stuff. I get it. Tons of new accounts just posting what they want and skewing things. Maybe just give me one of those terribly complex Captchas where I have to click the check mark or something. That stops all the bots. Guaranteed. Though like I said my username probably makes me seem like a bot anyway. Maybe I just need to read a sub that explains how to Reddit. Maybe I am just not savvy on my old age of 34. Better luck next time. Hope this post doesn’t get deleted.

TL;DR: TIFU by thinking I could just post anywhere being new and seeming like a bot.

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 ...
