TIFU by making a joke during my Grandma's funeral.

Today was my grandmother's funeral. I was a Pallbearer, which essentially means it was my job to carry her casket. She was 96 and lived a full life. Fell a few months ago, broke her hip, got a UTI and COVID, which finally took her down.

Anyways, I'm a bit of a gym bro, and thought about waking up early to train beforehand, but decided against it. It was Deadlift day and figured I'd get enough work in throughout the day.

It's known in my family that I love exercising, so someone cracked a joke about me taking today off. I jokingly said, "well Today is deadlift day anyways." Just thinking it was funny that I got to lift the casket - similar to a deadlift!

It was only when I saw the look on everyone's face that I realized the double entendre. Today was Deadlift day, as I literally lifted the dead. Now, this would've been hilarious if it was my intention, though still a little crude. But no, I pissed off my entire immediate family with a tasteless joke that I didn't even mean to make.

Suffice to say, my girlfriend was super embarrassed, my mother was pissed, and only my stoner cousin got a decent laugh out of it. You're welcome, Jeremy.

TL;DR made a stupid joke which turned out to be an even more stupid joke in the middle of my Grandmas funeral.

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 ...
