TIFU by freezing while speaking to a Georgian girl

This happened to me on a family trip 5 days ago in Pamukkale, Turkey. I (30m), was sitting with my dad at a table at Cleopatra pool and waiting for the rest of my family to get out of the pool. I wasn't going into the pool since it was hot as hell and the water even hotter.

Then the most gorgeous girl I have EVER seen anywhere sat down next to me. She caught my eye when I saw her taking photos of artifacts at an archaeology museum minutes earlier. She was probably around 25 yo, wearing a tight black dress, having dark curly hair, the most perfectly done red lips ever (seriously, I normally consider red lips a kitschy cliche, but this was next level), a true natural beauty with perfect proportions, black eyes, perfect skin. Words can not describe how hot she was. Just wow!

Since my brain was going haywire I had to leave the table and go for a walk. After a couple of minutes, my dad came to me and said that she was really nice, that she offered him her lunch and spoke to him, but because the name of the country Georgia, where she was supposedly from, has a different name in our language and because my dad is as bright as Borat, he wanted I go speak to her and somewhat translate what is being said.

So I sat back down at the table and just turning my head to her felt like a lifetime. I ask her: "So you're from Georgia right?" She just answers "yes", and I go "nice, nicee". Her facial expression mirrored my own with a lag, it was a perfect mixture of forced smile and nervousness, with a pinch of sheer terror on top. I hoped she would still engage in the conversation, but no. I try again after a minute: “The Russians are occupying your country, aren't they?“ She again, says "Yes", while I am muttering "Interesting, interesting". Why did I say that, it is not interesting at all, it is sad and despicable. Awkward silence. She gets up and leaves minutes later saying quiet bye without touching her food afaik.

So many questions left unanswered. Who is she? What does she do? Does she work or study? Does she travel often?

Even yesterday when I was arranging my new work contract at a meeting with my employer I couldn't stop thinking of her. I have never felt so shattered in my life before, since I know I will never see her ever again.

*insert Call me by your name crying end scene gif*

TL;DR: My brain went blank and I lost control of my facial expressions while trying to speak to a perfect Georgian girl on vacation. Now I'm absolutely shattered.

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 ...
