TIFU by making a kid cry

I just want to preference - I have Tourettes Syndrome so this was in no way on purpose, I love kids haha.

Anyway, I ran into the shop after running a few errands and was already struggling with my tics. Being out in public can be really difficult, especially queueing in the bank and dealing with the public.

So, I was in yet another queue and it was getting harder to suppress, I was blinking and shaking my head like I was on something and mumbling words as quietly as I could. A mother and their child (maybe 5) were walking past (cutting through the queue to get out the shop) when I had screamed out "BOO!"

Poor little thing just jumped and burst into tears and I had to explain as I was still shaking my head and ticcing that I had Tourettes Syndrome.

Luckily the mother laughed and her kid was OK!

But jeez louise... Stupid bloody brain of mine!

TLDR; TIFU by not suppressing my tics, shouting at a kid and making the poor angel cry.

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.

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 ...
