TIFU by spilling cup noodles over my self

This happened a week and a half ago

I'm currently a college student and i have a great dining plan that allows me to eat all i want at campus dining halls. I have a stash of shin ramyun bowls to eat in my dorm room whenever I'm too lazy to go to my school's dining hall.

Tonight i was too lazy to get myself to move so i got some water from the fountain in my residence hall and pour it into my noodle bowl. I then heat up the water by using my microwave in my dorm. But today i decided to put the timer to 20 minutes as i was curious on how different it would taste.

I hopped into a league of legends match and while i was in the match, the microwave went off saying the timer was done. I placed the cup beside me to eat right after i finish my game.

5 minutes didn't even pass and i forgot i had a bowl of hot water right beside me. I dragged my mouse a bit hard toward the cup and it spilled onto me.

Some of the noodles and hot water spilled onto my laptop, which is a razerblade 15 and it costed a hefty amount of money, won't turn on now. The rest of the water and noodles flew onto my right leg and some went on my other but its mostly on my right. The water was scorching hot and the noodles stuck onto my leg which made it even worse. There was a bit of noodles that was stuck between my slipper and my foot. I also bumped my elbow into the wall when i jumped up after the bowl spilled and now it hurts pretty bad but not as bad as my leg. My skin was red and now blisters are starting to form. The pain was excruciating for the first 10 minutes. Im also having trouble with walking now b/c of the bit that was stuck between my foot and slipper while i was panicking burned the bottom of my foot.

My foot is now hurting with every single step and my leg pulsing with pain. The bowl is pretty big and so there is a bunch of noodles under my desk that i have to clean. My laptop isn't turning up now which really bad as i have a midterm exam tomorrow plus I'm a broke college student so repairing or getting a replacement for this thing is going to be hard. Then there is also my campus job which now i have to drop my shifts.

TL;DR; Heated a bowl of shin ramyun for 20 minutes in the microwave, spilled it while playing league of legends and now i have burns all over my right leg.

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 ...
