TIFU by knocking a 3rd grader's teeth out

I work as a camp counselor for the YMCA and every group leader has a walkie so we can talk to other group leaders to know where everyone is at. Of course the radio I was given has a broken antenna but I had no clue. It easily would just pull off and on but I hadn't touched it so I didn't know that.

Well around lunch time this 3rd grader named Hunter was standing about 6 feet away from me minding his own business when he looked at me and pretending to throw a baseball. I saw him do it and I turned into a batter's stance and swung my radio by the antenna as hard as I could as if I was swinging a bat. Well, the radio flew off the antenna straight towards Hunter and knocked his two front teeth out. Not only did his teeth come out, but since it hit him square, they shot right down his throat. One of them he coughed up but the other one went down all the way.

I had to file an accident report and explain to my boss and Hunter's parents what happened. His mom was so angry and upset with me she almost wanted to press charges. His dad told me he wasn't too upset and that's one less tooth he has to "buy back" as the tooth fairy. All in all it wasn't too bad but I absolutely destroyed that kid's teeth and I pissed off my boss, and the kids mom.

TL;DR: I accidentally flung my walkie at a 3rd graders tooth and they fell out and he swallowed one of them.

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 ...
