TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

Post a Comment

TIFU telling what I thought was a light joke, but Wife thought it was disrespectful & I probably embarrassed her.

This weekend we met up with some friends, some very old and some new. Little context first, my wife's friend, I have actually known since elementary school, but they only became friends and in high school.

We played some games and had some drinks. All was going well when one of the newer friends asked if my wife learned, or heard about me from her friend since we had known each other for so long. That is when I thought it would be funny to blow hot air up everyone's butt and claim that "oh all the girls knew about me in high school." But in reality I only had one solid girlfriend before dating my wife and now we've been together for over a decade. I should have stopped there, while everyone rolled their eyes at me trying to claim I was "talk of the town". But for some reason I decided to also add the detail, a realization I guess, that the only women I did get any luck with all worked together. And I had earned 3 of their numbers, hence here comes the next joke "I must have been doing something right *wink *wink". Again I think everyone knows me for so long that its obvious I was just exaggerating how much of a ladies man I was. In actuality, very tame, very boring dating life I feel. My body count is 2. Wife knows this. No mystery. Oh and we been together for so long. All reasons I didn't think none of it would be taken seriously.

Well. 24 hours go by and my wife tells me she felt like I didn't need to share that with our friends. She felt like they were looking at her for a response. As if "how can your husband could be saying this stuff". When she told me, I felt terrible, I couldn't believe I made her feel that way at all, and that she didn't tell me until the next day and let it sit with her for so long. I tried to explain it was all in good fun, and I only told those jokes because the people we were with know me, and already know my history and know its all hot air. But, I totally just apologized and owned up that I embarrassed her, and I never would want to make her feel embarrassed like that. She told me to not feel sad about it. She even gave me a kiss, and told me she really didn't think about it all day.

It still messed with me all night. I still feel bad about the way I made her feel. I think I will have some flowers sent to her work.

TL;DR: bragged how I was such a "ladies man" I was back in the day to some friends in front of my wife as a joke. Wife did not appreciate it.

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...
