TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by hitting my two toddlers with one flying candy bar

TIFU twice, actually.

We work from home upstairs while our children are cared for downstairs. We interact sometimes, but most of the time we keep things separate because the coming and going really messes with attachment issues.

My husband left the office and I was thinking “I really need a lollipop.”

Thankfully, my husband yelled from our bedroom down the hall “Do you need anything?” and I stupidly yelled back from the office “Yeah, my lollipops, they’re in my bed side table!”

My three and four year olds downstairs heard this and started hollering and chanting “LOLLIPOPS” over and over and I came to the top of the stairs and their caretaker looked at me like “thanks a lot” and I’m sure somewhere my boss was thinking “get those kids quiet” so I had the ABSOLUTELY brilliant idea to toss them each a mini butterfinger down the stairs, but I misjudged and it hit the three year old in the head, it bounced off, and hit her brother in the eye, and they both collapsed in tears on the floor 😭

I said “I LOVE YOU, ENJOY YOUR CANDY” and made a hasty rush back to my office.

TL:DR I toyed with my toddlers’ emotions by letting them know I had lollipops they couldn’t have, and then injuring them with flying candy bars.

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...
