TIFU by costing the company $700

I work at a print shop doing in-house graphic design as well as sending to production those designs. No one is perfect, I designed and ordered 1000 presentation folders. Approved by the client, good to go!

​

Fast forward a few days later, production was done. Quality was amazing, nice high gloss presentation folders with two pockets. We delivered it the client. Few minutes later we got a call from them about the back side of the folders. I forgot to submit the backside of the folders to production. So essentially the template had the front cover, and the pocket designs. Damn, there goes $700 and some change.... (cost of production).

​

I did not panic but I knew my boss was not going to feel good about it. I told him he can take it out of my paycheck next payday so I can cover the lost cost. We ended up re-submitting the folders again with the correct designs.

​

Later that day once I'm already home he calls me.... he wanted to let me know that I don't have to worry about the cost. It happens to the best of us and he knows I'm not the type of person to make those mistakes like that. So he understood and mentioned that I was probably doing to much at the same time. He also knows the client and we had a lot of back and forth with the front cover before it got approved... thus completely loosing focus on the back cover design. Anyways, I'm grateful he understands and he can appreciate a mistake.

​

TL:DR I ordered 1000 folders and forgot to add the back design. Costing the company $700. My boss was understandable. No one got in trouble.

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...
