TIFU by not checking my phone in my pocket and all the opened applications

TIFU and I need to share with you all. While taking my dog for a long walk in the heat, I decided to wear light shorts. As I was sweating profusely, my phone, which was in my pocket, got unlocked due to the friction with my leg.

I didn't realize this until 20 minutes later, as I was enjoying my walk. When I got home and looked at my phone, I noticed that my Gmail account was open, and there was a random string of letters written on the screen. I quickly checked all of my open apps to make sure that I hadn't accidentally sent a compromising photo or message to anyone, but fortunately, I hadn't. Some apps were open, but I didn't see what harm it could do, so I closed them without checking

HAHAHA. I SHOULD'VE.

20 minutes later, just when I thought I was in the clear, a notification popped up from Deliveroo (similar to Uber Eats). It said that my order was ready, and it was an expensive one – 80€ worth of tacos. As an unemployed person with no money, I couldn't afford to spend that much on a single meal. I immediately called the restaurant to cancel the order, but they said that it wasn't possible and that I should've called sooner because everything is ready... If only I had checked the Deliveroo app 20 minutes ago......

The delivery guy arrived, gave me three large bags of food, and sarcastically told me to have a good party. I explained to him that my phone had ordered the food by itself, and he felt sorry for me. I even offered him a taco, but he declined.

Feeling disappointed, I was left alone with a dozen hot tacos. It was 3pm I already ate... I took two of them for myself and put them in the fridge to reheat later. Since I didn't like some of the ingredients, I decided to give the remaining tacos to the homeless people in the street or random people. Random people looked at me very suspiciously, but homeless ones took them happily as it was still hot.

So yes I did something "good" but 80€ is a big amount of money for an unemployed guy like me. Like I sometimes skip meals because I don't have enough money. To make matters worse, when I contacted Deliveroo for a refund, they refused, saying that since I had received the food, I couldn't get my money back. I argued that they should have asked for confirmation from my bank before accepting the purchase, but they wouldn't listen and thought I was trying to scam them.

TL;DR, the moral of the story is to always keep an eye on your phone when it's in your pocket or turn it off altogether to avoid any mishaps. And to avoid to get a dozen of tacos on your table at 3pm.

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...
