TIFU A coworker and my self removed almost all of this multimillion dollar houses insulation by mistake

So I used to work for this crawl space company, we would do insulation removal, install, sump pumps dehumidifiers, French drains, vapor barrier, mold treatment, etc. The job we had was in a really Rich neighborhood on the New Jersey shore. But apparently there were two houses with the same number on similar sounding streets. Our gps took us to the wrong house. The customer wanted insulation removal and the crawl space entered was out back. Apparently the customer was not going to be home so they said to just start working, but we went to the wrong house by mistake with no one home and the crawl space enterence out back. And we started to work by removing all the insulation and put it in trash bags.

When we got a call from our boss an hour later we realized it was the wrong house because the real customer called asking where we were an hour later because they had a security camera and never saw us at their house..we literally ripped out 1/2 of this million dollar houses insulation that was recently put it, this would be atleast a 1000 dollar job to reinstall..which we were so confused why someone would want to remove and replace brand new insulation, but they were rich so we didn’t think any thing of it.. 

So we put all the insulation in garbage bags in the houses crawl space and when we realized we were in the wrong house, we took off as soon as possible, leaving over 50+ bags of this guys brand new insulation bagged up under his house.. to this day some guy who owns a multimillion dollar + house on the new jersey shore has almost all his brand new insulation removed and bagged up under his crawlspace. One day he is going to go down there and be so pissed off and confused when he finds out.

The company I worked for was the definition of a piece of shit, and if I told the home owners I would have got fired.. my boss did not want to pay the money to fix our mistake or have us spend more time than we already had their, so Our boss told us to just leave and get out of there and never speak about it. This was a few years ago and nothing ever came about it.

TL;DR Went to wrong multimillion dollar house in New jersey by the ocean , me and coworker took down basically all their insulation and then left when we found out because our boss is a POS.

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 ...
