TIFU by giving my son a birthday party

Little back story, it's been a hard year. I was laid off recently, a loss in the family and just some rather rough moments.

Today I threw my 5M son a party at the splash pad at our park. Invited several of his friends, A friend of mine made cupcakes and I ordered pizza. It wasn't the usual party because of financial restrictions but I figured it was something and he'd feel loved.

We got to the park and start putting up some balloons a friend brought. The heat this year has been rough but the pavilion is covered and the water feels great and has shade. It was warm but not overly hot. Sunny but overcast. The kids play, cupcakes present and my friends ran to get the pizza. We're only about 15 minutes in. My husband gets up to walk to the car and passes out hitting the ground. Another friend and I pick him up and drag him to the car, blast the AC and try to get some water in him. EMS shows up. At this point my friends are watching the kids and I'm trying to get water in him. As I'm trying to answer a few questions from EMS a friend walks up with my toddler. His blue shirt is green. Odd.. He says I need a bandaid, she says he needs stitches. So 5M slipped and busted his chin open on a bench. It's blood on his shirt.

This is how my 5 year olds party lasted about 30 minutes and ended with an EMS visit and an ER trip.

Ironically I didn't rent a water slide this year at the house because of financial reasons but ended to with EMS and an ER trip instead.

Husband is fine, he was back to himself shortly. It's a preexisting condition that is not life threatening but we thought was under control.
5M is fine, he spent the entire ER visit asking if he's still going to get presents.
I on the other hand am done for the day.

TL;DR birthday party ended with everyone getting hurt today.

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 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 ...
