TIFU By getting the bartender "Timmy's" attention by quoting South Parks "Timmy".

TL;DR: After talking about South Park with 4 of 5 guys at the bar, I said "Timmy!" like the Timmy character from South Park to the bartender named Timmy, to have the 5th guy who is blind have a go at me for the way I said "Timmy".

Put the TL;DR at the front of the post just to make the punchline and context before I go into detail about what just happened. So here we go.

I finished work and decided to go down the pub to see the normal crew of tradies that had knocked off work today. We were playing pool, sinking beers, and just have a good Humpday afternoon.

An hour in to the shenanigans, a blind man and his guide dog come in to the pub. Nothing really to note on any other day, but as I said, it devolved from a fun time to an awkward time within a very quick time because of the combination of us and what happens later.

Whole time old mates here, we are all chatting about and getting along, and I was helping him out find his drink, where the doors were and the restroom. A real good time amongst people at a bar. All of us just living the dream.

Now comes the fun... We got on to the conversation of South Park, and all us guys were brought up in the time when South Park was big of our up bringing. We are all laughing and quoting South Park(some of the more vanilla quotes) and just having fun. Old mate was giggling along with most of but now in hindsight, it was probably from just the crude jokes and not the context of being South Park.

So, in a lull from the jokes, I notice my beer is empty and want to get another one, so I say "Oi, Timmy" to the young bloke behind the bar to try and get a new beer. But he had his back to me and was leaning against the bar day dreaming (as we all did when we started working). So to get his attention, I started saying "Timmy" louder and louder and more like Timmy from South Park.

Old mate didnt like this one and yells at me "DO YOU FIND THAT FUNNY!"... I was extremely taking aback by it, but then before making an ever bigger FU, I bit my tongue before I was half way through the sentence "Haven't you seen South Park?", because I realised who I was replying to.

I haven't had such an awkward moment in a while, I just sat there, blindsided and a bit tipsy, and said I was sorry for any offence and that Timmy was a character from the show, but that does not excuse me because they didnt know the context.

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 ...
