TIFU I forgot to add water to ramen noodles before I microwaved them.

Today, I really fucked up. I don't know if I'm distracted or what, but I did something so stupid, it could've started a fire.

Earlier today, I was hungry and it was lunchtime, so I went to the kitchen to make something. Not wanting to do a lot of work, I just grabbed microwavable ramen noodles from the pantry and put them into a bowl. I was trying to do many things at once, like make lunch, grab something else, and fill my water bottle for later.

I grabbed a bowl and put the noodles in the bowl. Because I had so much on my mind at once, I just put the bowl in the microwave, and turned it on. I wasn't thinking of anything at that moment, but when it was done, the microwave was full of smoke. It also stunk. I quickly closed the door, thinking that the microwave had something else burned in it.

I walked into my room to get my water bottles, and fill them up for later. When I came out and turned on the tap, I realized that this was the first time I turned on the tap. I put my water bottles down, walked over to the microwave, and there was this black spot on the noodles. I quickly ran to the sink and tried to cool down both the noodles, and my bowl. I managed to cool them both down, but I just threw them away because they were both ruined.

What's even worse, is that I live with a roommate, and his mother was over for a little while. I'm glad she didn't catch me, but it was so embarrassing.

TL;DR: I forgot to add water to ramen, burnt the shit out of the noodles, then threw them away. All this while my roommate's mom was over here.

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 ...
