TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by asking my dad to switch TV Providers.

For some context, I live in Connecticut which for those who don’t live in America, Is right in between New York City and Boston.

We currently have been using Hulu with the Live TV feature as our main TV provider for over 3 years now.

The only issue I had with Hulu was that despite me living closer to Providence and Boston than New York. We only get the New York Regional Channels, for both sports and News.

We also get the local Connecticut New Stations but we don’t get the New England Regional Sports Networks which for me is a major red flag as I am a Die hard Boston Sports Fan.

A couple of days ago, I asked my dad if he would be interested in switching to one of the TV providers that “supposedly” had the New England Sports Networks.

We sat down and went through the options and we ended up settling on YouTube TV.

Big mistake, they don’t have the New England Networks. Even though I read an article that said they had those networks, apparently their only on TubiTV and DirecTV Stream.

I ended up digging further and found an OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM YOUTUBE TV that said they were removing the New England Regional Networks for all users in that area. Including CT. Now my dad is pissed at YouTube TV for having conflicting articles saying different things. He’s been on the phone with them for over 2 hours trying to cancel the subscription. I honestly feel like this could’ve been prevented had I read the article more.

TL;DR Asked my Dad to Switch TV providers for one channel and ended up not getting that channel after signing up.

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...
