TIFU by making a woman think I was a stalker

This happened a few years back. After my divorce was finalized, I met a woman on one of the Online Dating Sites. Things were going cool even though she was hesitant to date me right after a divorce. She came around after realizing I filed for the divorce, I filed about 8 months prior, it was about three months after my divorce was finalized and she was the first person I dated.

Fuck up number 1:

Her: I took sick leave today.
Me: Oh, you work for the government?

Her: HOW DO YOU KNOW I WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!!

Me: You said "sick leave." Only government employees say sick leave, people with regular jobs say PTO (paid time off).

Her: Oh ok.

During this conversation she happened to mention she was a disabled veteran (important later). We made plans for an in person thing at some point after this.

Fuck up number 2:

We meet at Starbucks, have a good time. We planned to talk for about 30 -45 minutes but were there about two hours. Make future plans to meet up. Head out to the parking and walk past a vehicle in the handicapped parking spot with disabled veteran plates.

Me: Is this your car?

Her: HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS IS MY CAR!?!

Me: Actually I didn't. I saw the disabled veteran license plate and wondered if it was yours.

Her: Oh ok.

Me: Can I open your door for you.

Her: Naw, I got it.

Long story short, she stood me up after that. She did give me a call and say now was not a good time for us to date due to my recent divorce, we can be friends, we can do things we previously talked about and I said cool, I can use a friend post divorce. Then she never called me again, lol. My observant answers were a bit too coincidental for her. Looking back, she obviously thought I looked up her info (I did not do this, i did not have her last name and only had what was probably a Google voice number. I do not look people up beyond like a Facebook search after getting to know you.) and got spooked.

TL;DR: Made a woman think I was a stalker by being too observant, then she ended it. Sucks for me, good for her on being cautious.

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...
