TIFU by coming to work when I wasn't well

Trigger warning: small injury to a dog.

For some reason every morning when I wake up I feel very nauseous for about an hour, today was no different so I got dressed and I went to work. I am a bather at a grooming salon. By the time I got there my stomach mostly felt better but as I look back on it, my thoughts were like jumbled. Like it felt like I was thinking 7 things at the same time so none of them made any sense. It was time to start on my first dog so I grabbed the clippers and began trimming the nails. First nail was fine but the second nail I went a little bit too deep and hit the quick (blood vessel). I grabbed the powder we use for when this happens and began tending to the nail as my boss came over to see what happened. I got this overwhelming feeling that I was about to throw up so I tried to tell my boss so she could stay with the dog but the next thing I remember I was on the floor. Apparently I passed out. I've never passed out before. I went home afterwards because obviously I'm in no shape to be caring for pets but all I can think about is what happened? Why did it happen? My friend thinks it has something to do with seeing blood but not only have I seen blood before and never passed out, but I only nicked it there was not a lot of blood. Still I feel awful that I hurt that dog. Looking back it's clear I wasn't myself but for some reason in the moment it didn't occur to me "hey you don't feel as good as you think you do put the clippers down." My job isn't mad at me they say that even professional groomers still quick dogs at times and I'm pretty new but I'm mad at myself. How do you not realize something isn't right? I mean I was speaking like a zombie how do I not notice I'm not ok??? I'm scared to clip any more nails now because I don't want to hurt a dog that's the last thing I ever wanted to do.

TLDR: I passed out while clipping a dogs nails and cut the dog in the process.

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...
