TIFU by assuming that lobsters are cheap and I was getting a steal

This happened about 3 years ago when me and my parents went to this fancy seafood restaurant in Thailand. Alright so we sit down and we’re browsing through the menu and I spot a lobster dish which only costs about $5.5 and I was like holy shit this is so worth it so I order it. The dish comes in and since it was so cheap I just ate it all without bothering to share with my parents. After I finished I was thinking damn I want more and its only $5. So I ordered another dish. I was thinking to myself, “why aren’t more people ordering this, its so cheap and delicious”.

Well lord and behold, my dad receives the bill and he is horrified and visibly paler, he passed the bill to my mum and she gasps. The bill was around $130 and a $100 were those two lobsters while my dad and mum ate around $30 worth of food combined. I was like “WHAT, THAT’S NOT RIGHT“ because the lobsters are $5 each so we look at the menu and my dad is in pure disappointment and says “It’s $5 per 100 grams” and the lobsters I ate were definitely not only a 100 grams.

Looking back at it, I was not the brightest teenager and should’ve remembered that if we are sitting in a fancy restaurant in the most prestigious mall, i don’t think they would be selling lobster for 5 dollars.

(Changed currency for better comprehension but it was in THB so $5=200THB while $55=2000THB)

TL;DR I thought lobster was only $5 but it was actually $55

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 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 ...
