TIFU by mixing up the dates my wife and I had tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras tour

This happened earlier tonight. Back story, my wife loves Taylor Swift. We actually had one of our first dates at a Taylor Swift concert. She was SO excited with the Eras tour was announced because she had missed Taylor's last tour, and hadn't seen her perform live since 2015.

​

We were fortunate enough to get into the Verified Fan presale because I've purchased many of Taylor's albums on Vinyl for my wife as gifts. As some of you may have heard the persale was a shitshow and we did not successfully get tickets (looking for tonight 7/29). We again were fortunate to get a 2nd chance at purchasing tickets due to TM trying to save face. This time around TM didn't allow you to choose specific tickets, just the price range you were comfortable with and they would choose the seats for you within a day or so. We successfully got tickets this time. She was so pumped!

​

We have been talking about it for weeks. She spent the previous day getting her outfit decided. We got a babysitter (my brother). I got someone to cover me at work. We drove an hour, got there an hour early, paid $60 for parking, walked 3/4 miles to get to the stadium, waited in lines, got through security, get the tickets out....they don't scan...try to sort out why...discover they're for yesterday....fuuuuuuuuuck!

Tried talking to several staff about our predicament (my fuck up) to no avail. Of course, they're completely sold out. Only option would have been to buy $1000/piece tickets off of the secondary market. Message TM, "sorry, your fuck up."

So now she won't talk to me (understandably), I'm in the doghouse. No idea how I'm ever getting out. Pray for me.

​

TL;DR': Thought I purchased Taylor Swift concert tickets for tonight but found out when trying to get into the venue they were purchased for yesterday's show.

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 ...
