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 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...
