TIFU playing Mortal Kombat with a kid who didn't like losing

My gf and I were at the mall yesterday. We split up when she had to be at the hair salon. I decided to go to the gaming lounge inside the mall and kill time playing games. I paid for an hour of gaming. A random kid approached me less than 20 minutes later. I was playing Spiderman at the time. The kid watched and laughed every time I died or walked like a normal pedestrian instead of swinging through the city with my webs. I paused Spiderman and asked the kid if he wanted to play.

The kid said he wanted to play Mortal Kombat. Multiplayer. I accepted the challenge. Not gonna lie, the kid was good, clearly an experienced gamer, but his downfall was underestimating me when he realized I selected a female character to fight the big bad brute he selected. The kid was unable to defeat me and it seemed to frustrate him. Towards the end of my hour, I said "good game bro" and got up to meet my gf. I didn't see the kid again until my gf and I were going up on the escalator.

The kid and his mom happened to be on the escalator that was going down. I noticed him saying something to his mom before pointing at me as we were about to cross paths. I waved at the kid as we passed each other on the escalator. At that moment the mom took a photo of me on her phone and said "people like you should not be around children!" Everyone on the escalator stared at me, including me gf. We were planning to watch a movie, but the two of us were no longer comfortable spending more time at the mall.

I have no idea what that kid told his mom about me, but it must have been pretty dark to make her freak out like that. Lesson learned... lose next time.

TL:DR

Won a game of Mortal Kombat against a random kid at the mall. Kid got upset and made his mom yell at me in public.

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...
