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 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 ...
