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 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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
