TIFU by almost running over a cute coworker

There's a cute girl at work, who I talk to sometimes. She's pretty new, and I've talked to her on my way out the last few days. Today I talked to her and then went to the parking lot and started driving away. I saw her walking to her car. She was standing in a median, and I stopped to let her walk in front of me. But she smiled demurely and waved for me to go ahead. I tapped the gas, but then thought better of it, and waved her ahead. She took a step forward, but then decided to smile and wave me forward again. The whole thing happened a couple more times. Then my subconscious took over (it had been a long day, and I just wanted to go home) and I involuntarily slammed the gas pedal and impatiently drove past her, right as she was finally deciding to step in front of my car. I didn't look back, I was too embarrassed. I don't have any way to contact her, and I'm not going to see her again until Monday. Also my car exhaust smells pretty bad.

​

TL;DR: I accidentally almost ran over a cute coworker because she wouldn't walk in front of my car, and I grew impatient

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 ...
