TIFU by trying to use my shower as a dishwashing machine

So today, I officially reached a new low.

I live in this tiny apartment in the heart of NYC. You know, the kind where the kitchen is a sink, a small counter, and an oven that hasn't been used since the Reagan administration. Anyways, the sink had been clogged for days and I had a pile of dirty dishes accumulating.

Here's where the genius stroke hits: Why not wash the dishes in the shower? It seemed like a perfect solution, really. A lot of water, some soap, and hey - I could even multitask and get clean myself in the process. Killing two birds with one stone, right?

Wrong.

I loaded up the shower floor with the dirty dishes and started my routine. It was going well, until I slipped on a soapy plate. In an attempt to save myself, I grabbed the shower curtain... which of course, came crashing down, taking the curtain rod and all my dishes with it.

But that's not even the best part. In the flurry of chaos, the noise woke up my eccentric neighbor who lives across the hall. He rushed in thinking there was some kind of intruder. I'm now laying in the bathtub, covered in soap and shards of plates, with a shower curtain tangled around me, and my half-naked neighbor standing in shock at the bathroom door.

As if it couldn't get any worse, the impact of my fall and the dishes caused the shower drain to clog, and now my bathroom is flooded. I’ve spent the rest of the day on cleanup and damage control, and the dishes are still dirty. My shower, my pride, and my kitchenware will never be the same.

TL;DR - Tried to save time by washing dishes in the shower, ended up flooding my bathroom, breaking all my dishes, and giving my neighbor a sight he'll never unsee.

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 ...
