TIFU by almost getting shot for complimenting a guy at a bar.

This didn’t happen today but around six months ago.

This past year I moved to a small rural town, to cut back on cost of living. I had a friend from my home town come visit me.

Wanting to show him a good time we decided to go out. In total their was five of us, myself, my GF, visiting friend, roommate and his new GF.

We get a few drinks, and begin catching up. The bar was very busy and louder than usual. I notice this one man in his 20’s who is way over dressed then anyone in the bar.

He was wearing a well fitted old school brown leather jacket, turtle neck, tons of jewelry. To top it all off he was wearing red tinted sunglasses. Even though it was inside and late at night. Very odd. I have never seen anyone in this town dressed in the fashion and assumed he must be visiting.

My roommates GF sees a friend of hers. Our whole group begins talking to her and step outside to smoke by adjacent benches.

This is where the fuck up happens.

My roommate, his GF, and her friend are on the bench, the rest of us in a half circle facing them. Two convos are being exchanged when the well dressed guy comes from out of the bar and sits between them on the bench.

He says “Hello” to the new friend we met and begins listening. A moment later this guy interjects the conversation and immediately starts raising his voice to drown out the other convo.

This guy is speaking in such a condescending tone very “holier then thow”.

“I work at “X” resort I make $84K a year”. As he goes on everyone is looking at each other like what a douche.

I really wanted to say something sassy as he was being rude, but for some reason my brain opted to pass on that.

I lock eyes with him for the first time, smile and say “Well that sounds like an interesting place to work”. Everyone I was with told me it sounded completely genuine.

He pauses then utters one line, “ I don’t like you”. I’m a bit surprised look at my GF, look back and to see a handgun pointed at my face from two feet away.

I instinctively grabbed my GF and rushed inside followed by the group. We needed to GTFO. We rushed to pay our bill and begin hustling to the car.

We then see the guy walking down the street behind us moving closer to our car. We all got in and zoomed off, seeing police pull up as we go around the corner.

It being a small town we hear that he didn’t even get put in jail for a night, nor did they take his gun away. Even though their was plenty of witnesses.

Flash forward 2 months after this incident I hear this guy working at “X” resort by the same name the man gave us had murdered his underage brother with that same gun.

I’m really thankful I didn’t say some sassy shit, who knows what would have happened.

Tldr: Moved to a new small town, went out to bar. This guy was being a douche. I wanted to say something mean, but didn’t. He then says one line to me, pulls a gun on me & friends. Doesn’t go to jail. Two months later he kills his underage brother.

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 ...
