TIFU by introducing my High school friend

Today me and a friend went to an event. It was really crowded there so we were just running around just going to various seminars and stuff.

Suddenly a girl stops me and goes "Hey man how are you ! Long time no see!" with a lot of excitement in her voice, as if she was genuinely happy to run into me there.

But to my horror, I had no idea who she was - clearly it was someone I know, and I remember her face from somewhere, but I had no idea from where.

"Hey, youuu! Long time no see haha" I went, trying to sound as confident as possible.

She started talking to me about the event and I was also making small talk but my mind was racing - where do I know her from? If I remember her name, I'll remeber who she is. what is her name? What is the least obvious way to find her name?

Then suddenly it hit me - my friend wasn't engaging with her. I knew my friend from high school. So chances are, I know this woman either from my work or college. So why don't I introduce my friend? That way hopefully she'll introduce herself to my friend and I'll know her name!

Brilliant right?

So in the midst of the conversation I went "By the way, This is my friend Aaron!". Aaron also raised his hand in an akward "hi" way.

The womans face went blank. She uttered in confusion - "I know who Aaron is. All of us were in the same class during HS."

Now there were only twenty students in my class during high school. So we all knew eachother really well. But somehow this person slipped both of our minds. I just crushed her soul. She was really excited to see me and I didn't even recognise her. I feel like I crushed her soul then and there. I feel so bad. Usually I'm at recieving end of this, so I never thought I'll be thaat guy.

If you are reading this S, I'm sorry I'm an idiot. Actually I'm sorry that both me and A are idiots.

TL;DR : Met a girl who I didn't recognise but recognised me, acted like I did recognise her, introduced a guy I knew in HS to her only to find out that she was from my HS.

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...
