TIFU by not cleaning out the fridge before partially moving out

This just happened today. Right now. I’m in horrified shock that this is real life and I need this moment to just come to terms with this horror movie.

I bought a house back in May. My lease wasn’t up until July but it worked out okay for me financially to not break my lease and just stay through end of July.

I Moved essentials into the house planned on being sort of between both places in between work. But my new job kept me traveling too much to get back to the apartment much more than to throw a few more boxes together and move them over to the house.

Today I showed up to gather the last of my things and clean up. I decided to clean out what was left in the fridge and that’s when the scene that will haunt my nightmares unfolded.

Some time in the 6 weeks I haven’t been around, the fridge quit working. I wasn’t here to notice. It’s summer. And I had the thermostat set to 75 since I wasn’t staying here. I opened to door to a backwoods redneck murder cabin fridge in a horror movie’s amount of maggots. Everywhere. Just covering every surface. Undulating. So. Many. Maggots. As if I covered every surface of my fridge with rice that then came to life.

I. Do not. Know what to do. I am HORRIFIED. I want to bleach my entire body. I want to scream. I want to cry. I want to vomit. Even though it’s not exactly my fault I’m still horrified and ashamed to tell my leasing office. I cannot believe this is happening in real life. Like I’m some sort of hoarding addict with a maggot filled house.

I wish. I had dumped. The fridge. I only kept food in it because I planned on being over here enough to still need food on hand. This is the biggest fuck up of my life. I am traumatized. I will have nightmares about this for years.

TLDR: didn’t completely empty my fridge before half-moving out of my apartment. Fridge broke while I was away. Maggots left to multiply unchecked for weeks. Opened fridge to find hundreds if not thousands.

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 ...
