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 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...
