TIFU by inserting a nickel into the CD slot of my mother's Honda CRV

This was earlier - spring of this year.

My (25M) brother (22M) and sister (14F) were heading to a restaurant to celebrate my brother's graduation from college. He lives in the same state as me, but it's a two-hour drive to visit.

I'm sitting in the front seat, my siblings in the back. Mom's driving.

Brother hands me a nickel from the back and jokingly says, "You should put this in Mom's CD player."

Now, I want to walk you through my thought process.

First thought: "That doesn't sound like a good idea."

Second thought: "Well, it probably wouldn't go in anyway, if there's already a CD in there."

Third thought: "There's a pretty quick way to find out whether or not there's already a CD in there."

So, I inserted the nickel. There was not already a CD in there. (The whole interaction took about two seconds.)

We all sat there in silence for about five seconds. Then, my brother asked, "Why the hell would you do that?"

Fortunately, Mom doesn't play CDs anyway, so she didn't care too much.

TL;DR: I slid a nickel into the CD player of my mother's car after being jokingly asked to.

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 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 ...
