TIFU by eating beef jerky

TIFU by saying that my favourite movie is cujo on Facebook

For starters I’m not going to say that cujo is a bad film but it certainly isn’t my favourite. About 2 weeks ago my family decided that we wanted to watch a movie on the projector we have out side, but after a few minutes of struggling to set it up then finding a movie we all wanted to watch we settled on watching the Stephen king horror: Cujo. At some point at the start of the movie my mother decided that she would take a photo of the movie on the projector and post it to Facebook. Not long after her posting the photo someone that we know commented asking if we was watching cujo, now we were all a bit confused how he managed to tell the movie was cujo from one picture but I respond to his comment by saying that yes it was cujo and then my mum asked how he knew it was cujo and then I jokingly asked wether it was his favourite film or not, he said it wasn’t his favourite film but it was a good one, and then I thinking it would be funny commented “cujo is my favourite film.” Now I thought nothing of this until last week I was in the car and I got a message from my mum saying that there was a package for me at home and I was confused as I hadn’t ordered anything, so when I got home I opened the package to see it was a cujo figurine which was relatively expensive (~£50) that was gifted to me from the guy. Turns out he collects horror movie figurines and wholeheartedly believed that my favourite film was cujo. He messaged my mother saying that he had the figure lying around somewhere in a box and wanted it to go to a home where “it is appreciated”. So now I have to pretend for the rest of my life that my favourite film is cujo.

TL;DR - I made a stupid joke to a man on Facebook about my favourite movie being cujo, he sent me and £50 cujo figure now I have to pretend my favourite movie is cujo

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...
