TIFU by laughing at my husband for getting hit by a car

Laughed at my husband for getting hit by a car

This fuck up actually happened a few weeks ago.

Long story short, when my husband was a kid, approx. 8? or so years old, he was hit by a car while riding his bike. He had to be airlifted to a hospital. All is good and he is a healthy 31 year old.

Well, around Thanksgiving his immediate family had over extended family for a few days. One of those days we had spent the day walking around and bar hopping. He invited his cousin who was in town with his gf. We were drinking at a place I used to GM at, so sometimes they will give us free shots or pour heavy. I got a little toasty and my husband invited his dad to join us. We were all laughing and sharing stories, when his dad brought up how he’s proud of my husband which triggered him to speak about the time my husband almost passed away as a child after being hit by this car.

Now I should mention, my husband and I will joke about this situation sometimes. Like if we are walking about I’ll make a comment to look both ways so he isn’t hit again, or we will tell our son when he isn’t paying attention about what happened, or if my husband forgets something or does something silly I’ll ask if it was because of his accident. We both think it’s funny and can tease each other about stuff.

Back to the story. So my FIL is talking about the accident and starts tearing up and speaking about the trauma of almost losing his son.

I start fucking laughing so hard. Not at my FIL but at my husband because this is our joke and toasted me thought about all the times we had joked about this.

So his family and SOs are all looking at my like I’m nuts. This makes it worse. I can’t stop laughing to explain myself. My husband had to give a brief explanation and then excuse ourselves and we leave as I’m still giggling and wiping tears.

Now it’s Christmas and I’m deadass embarrassed to go rejoin all these people.

Happy holidays, and look both ways.

TL;DR: my husband almost died as a child by getting hit by a car. My FIL brought up this accident and was crying. I proceeded to laugh uncontrollably, now Christmas is gonna be awkward.

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...
