TIFU and spent the day fighting moths and more!

Proverbial it wasn't today but maybe a month ago... The past few months have been kind of hard so I needed to visit a food pantry. They gave me several things which I put into my pantry and went about my day. A few days ago I started seeing pantry moths. I'm not sure if that's their real name or just what we call them in the South but they're straight from hell, live in your pantry and get into your damn food. I despise them obviously. So I smush the ones I see and decide on my day off I'll clean the pantry. I start pulling out food. Anything boxed has to be discarded because these evil bastards get into boxes too. I open the box of oats I got from the food pantry and it's full of moths! I immediately hit the back door and get the box out as fast as my old ass can go. As I'm pulling food out to inspect I end up with a spider on my hand. This is not a happy surprise but I smush it and keep going until another spider. Fun fact, I'm terrified of spiders but usually try to live and let live, just not in my home. I really convinced myself they were brown widows because I was sure they were. Newsflash they're not, they're actually triangular cobweb spiders- a big thank you to Reddit for the identification. I just spent the day throwing away food fighting moths and battling the spiders that came for the moths. The worst part is I needed to go to the pantry again but now I'm terrified because reliving this day is not for me. I had to throw away everything not sealed in plastic or canned and today's economy is bullshit. That's my rant, thanks for listening.

TL;DR Pantry moths are the devil, don't trust the food bank. Moths bring spiders.

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...
