TIFU Trying to show a Co-worker a picture of me before my “Glow-Up”

TIFU So for context, I am mostly a straight guy, just couldn’t see myself in a relationship with a dude, doesn’t mean I don’t find them attractive though! So I’ll quite often do some windows shopping/chat to them even if it doesn’t go anywhere.

So the night before my shift I decide to redownload a couple dating apps, and after talking to a couple nice people (M and F) we exchange numbers and text on WhatsApp, the conversations sort of Peter out and die after we sort of exchange pictures and realise it wasn’t meant to be. I think nothing of it, delete the apps and move on with my evening; in my mind I assumed that the pictures that weren’t my own also disappeared with the apps being deleted. (Forgetting about WhatsApp saving images to my gallery for work reasons)

Flash forward to today and I work in a small space with two other coworkers, one of them is a newish starter and asks me some questions about my hair as I’m bald by choice. I have had a significant glow up In the past few years which included shaving my head, so I thought I would grab my old ID and Download a couple of my fitness pictures from about 4-5 years ago just to show her what I used to look like. Whilst we don’t speak much on shift, I appreciated the fact she was making an effort - so I was thinking “This is finally the shift where we break the ice and maybe I’ll learn a bit more about her too”

I knew I had my own nudes in my gallery and a whole bunch of garbage screenshots so to avoid any potential mishaps. So I made sure to take about 20-25 blank screenshots so that there was absolutely no way she could fat finger and accidentally swipe Left or right and see them.

So I hand her my ID first of all, and she’s dumbfounded! “Woah, that’s not you! You look like a completely different person”. Whilst she has the ID in both hands I go to show her my phone. But she assumes I’m passing it to her so in our sort of awkward fumble she grabs the top left of my iPhone……which just so happens to have the “back” key in that exact corner. I see my photo gallery zoom out and A moment of clarity happens…..Were I recognise a set of boobs & a penis framed perfectly along the top of the screen, due to the barrage of screenshots I took earlier and sheer luck. It had framed them perfectly across the top 3 rows of my gallery (Unintentionally putting it right in her eyesight). If I had pressed the screenshot button 10 more times or not had my gallery zoomed out, this wouldn’t of happened. This gallery was like the middle Aisle of Aldi….it had everything: boobs, girls asses, guys asses, guys dicks, vaginas all on show, and a couple of my own images too. All very small, but framed perfectly like a small set of bathroom tiles arranged to make a a small human Mosaic. You couldn’t quite tell sizes/imperfections but you could very easily see that it was..humans doing NSFW activities.

I go to pull my phone away but the damage is already done. She politely tells me to never show her a photo on my phone ever again and goes to the toilet. When she returns I profusely apologise, “No one comes to work to see that, I’m so sorry it was an accident”. Whilst I don’t try to explain that all of these photos aren’t me, she has no way to know. This girl has just been blasted by the equivalent of a Pinterest board of porn. I feel the energy in the room get awkward. So I leave it, we usually make coffees for each other for free when we finish our shifts. As my shift ends I ask her to make me a coffee before I go. She overcharges me, I don’t question it. I pay and sip my flat white in the rain knowing that this event will probably be spoken about in future without my Knowledge, if that’s in therapy or in a pub. I don’t get to know, but I just hope she doesn’t think the boobs are mine.

TL:DR Had a saucy night on dating apps. Didn’t completely clear out my phone afterwards. Accidentally barraged a coworker with my own, and other peoples nudes when trying to show her “how far I had come” in the past few years…..

to be honest that quote now has two different meanings.

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
