TIFU By giving a girl a high-five.

Since this is RIF's last day here and so will be mine on Reddit here is an event that happened years ago.

My (now ex ) wife and I were at the Renaissance Festival for the weekend and stayed until they were closing. Now by nature I am an introvert, I like not socializing with people or really hanging out with anyone. That is until I had a full bottle of mead to myself. So we started working our way out of the festival and back to camp, I thought it would be fun to start skipping a long and giving anyone I could a high five. After a few minutes I lost track of my wife and went to look for her, I saw that she was near a couple of women that were sitting down on a bench. I attempted to skip over to her and saw she was bent over and talking to them. And super drunk me not taking half a second to read the situation I reached down with my palm out aggressively and yelled "High-five!", The girl I was gesturing to did not respond, and the woman next to her wasn't paying attention. I kept bobbing up and down and from what I recall only managed to say "No high-five?" Before my wife gave her a hug and we left. Only then did I notice the girl had her head buried into her hands, and my wife then telling me as we left that she just found out her sister died. Needless to say I don't skip anymore after that.

TL;DR - I tried to drunkenly high-five a girl who just found out her sister died.

Goodbye Reddit, it's been swell mostly lurking over the decade or so.

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 ...
