TIFU by eating too many prunes and having the worst stomach cramps of my life before a college midterm exam

Well, technically didn't happen today, but it wasn't super long ago. Anyway, I went to the store to pick up an Amazon package and decided to do some shopping and bought some prunes in a can since they looked good. It was my first time having any. I also bought some spicy peanuts to accompany them. Anyway, I tried the prunes out later that night while studying for a major college exam that I would have the next morning. And goddamn those prunes were good.

Eating a few of them lead to me devouring almost an entire can. I then downed those spicy peanuts (really bad idea) and swallowed it with some wine, I know, weird combination. I then resumed studying the rest of the night.

I later woke up like at 2 in the morning and was in excruciating pain. I thought my stomach was going to explode and split in two. I could see it MOVING. I got off the bed, moaning and hunched over and somehow managed to get to the kitchen where I started tossing and yeeting stuff out of the pantry until I found some tea and cooked it, all the while I was struggling to stand. I was drenched in sweat. It felt like gravity was crushing me. I was also downing some stomachache medicine and drank the tea. I only managed to sleep 4 hours that night.

The next morning I woke up without pain, thank god. However, I was super tired and was worried about doing horrible on the exam. So, I drive to school only for the professor to cancel the exam. Good ending. Anyway, lesson learned. Prunes aren't for young people like me.

TL;DR Ate too many prunes without knowing they are a VERY good fiber source and ended up messing my body up the night before a major exam. Exam ended up being cancelled last minute.

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 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 ...
