TIFU: By Getting Too Excited

Hello all! I’m on mobile, so excuse the formatting.

I (20 F) am a huge Legend of Zelda fan, so when the new game was announced I was ecstatic. When May 11th finally came I rushed from work early, a coffee shop, with drinks in hand for my friends and I to wait until midnight release. We went over to our lovely GameStop early, and in one swig I chugged my iced coffee on an empty stomach.

The excitement was really, truly starting to build within me as my friends and I waited for the games release. I just needed them for emotional support because I knew I would start crying in a moments notice. However, I realized that coffee wasn’t sitting right. I just blamed it on the excitement and the amount of sugar I had consumed. When we were allowed inside, I realized the led lights within the store seemed a bit too bright. I was starting to feel cold and clammy as well. I, again, chalked it up to my excitement. My heart was pounding and I was absolutely buzzing to get my hands on this game and go ham in my dark basement.

That’s when my body gave me the signal. The “oh no” signal, when all the blood rushes from my head to my stomach and I start salivating. I looked at my friend in horror, as GameStop doesn’t have a bathroom, and shoved my purse in her hands. I took my car keys and ran out the door, the nearest bathroom a gas station down the road. It was too late, however, as I went to get into my car disaster struck. I gagged.

I could feel the excitement and the coffee coming up and so I did the only thing I could do. I hid behind my car, kneeled down and puked. I took a moment to take a breath and vomited again, looking up to see headlights directly in my eyes. I awkwardly waved as this person proceeds to park right next to my car, and my spit up. I slowly stood, realizing I had gotten vomit on my knee, and waddled into my car. I sat there and contemplated whether or not to go back inside after I had just literally puked my guts out from being so excited. But! With my body feeling much better after the release of emotions, I hopped in and realized my friend who had parked beside me also was inside. And he did NOT want to be near me.

The employees heard what happened and thought it was hilarious. My friends took a picture of me next to the vomit with my game in hand.

I start my first shift at that GameStop today, lol.

TLDR: Got so excited for the TOTK release I puked in the parking lot. Twice.

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...
