TIFU by Introducing r/place to a co-worker in my office

Hey fellow Redditors, I have an embarrassing story that happened today at my workplace, and I'm still overthinking if there's going to be any consequences.

I work as an IT consultant, and today, a female co-worker came to me seeking help with her task. After reviewing her code, I made some changes to fix the issues. While she was testing the changes, I opened r/place to contribute and check what's going on.

Normally, I'd never browse Reddit at work since I disabled the NSFW filter. However, I figured I'd be safe since I had r/place bookmarked and there was no real NSFW content on the canvas. Oh boy, how wrong was I!

My co-worker noticed all the cute artworks and asked what I was doing, so I explained Reddit and the fun event happening on r/place. She seemed interested and wanted to place her pixel on the canvas. Without thinking much, I handed her the mouse.

Big mistake! I'm always using very high DPI (mouse speed) so it was hard for her to control precisely where the mouse was going. She accidentally clicked on the Reddit logo, which opened the main page of Reddit and guess what? The second post had a very charming lady spreading her legs to show her as*hole. I instantly panicked and hide the screen with my hand then closed Reddit, but I'm almost certain she caught a glimpse of it.

To salvage the awkward moment, I tried explaining to her that sometimes there's random pictures from subreddits you aren't part of showing up (obvious lie) and advised her to never open Reddit in public, as you never know what you might stumble upon.

After helping her with the task, she remained beside me until we were certain everything was working fine. As she returned to her desk, I couldn't gauge her reaction since I didn't dare to make direct eye contact. Hopefully, she won't see me as some pervert from now on, and I sincerely hope she keeps this incident to herself.

TL;DR: I introduced r/place to a co-worker at work, she accidentally went back to the front page of Reddit where she saw a very naked lady spreading her ass.

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 ...
