TIFU by giving Santa a smoothie, forgetting that seeing Santa is serious business when you're young.

This happened years ago but I just remembered it when I read a post in AmItheAsshole.

I was in Australia, north Queensland, it around Christmas time and it was the middle of the day. I saw Santa with a line of kids waiting to see him. It was around 41C, humidity around 99.9% and Santa had the full suit on. I was sweating just sitting there eating lunch, so I really felt bad for Santa. After I ate, I went and got two smoothies, one for me and one for Santa. The direct route to Santa had decorations blocking it so I went under the first set of ropes and stepped over the second making my way towards Santa. That's when I heard from the 4 to 6 year olds "Mind the queue you cunt! I'm going to punch you in the nuts! I'll break your jaw!" and some other threats. I got up to Santa and gave him the smoothie (mango), he thanked me and let me know while laughing "You're putting your life on the line cutting in front of all those kids to get up here mate, do yourself a favor and go around the back when you leave." I wisely took his advice to keep from getting pummeled by a bunch of burly tikes waiting to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.

​

TL;DR I cut in front of a bunch of kids waiting to see Santa so that I could give him a smoothie, was threatened with bodily harm for my troubles.

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 ...
