TIFU by mailing a stranger my mom's ultrasounds along with the t-shirt they bought from me

I sometimes sell and buy clothes on Vinted (if you don't know it, it's an online second hand platform) and it's pretty handy. I can get rid of my old clothes and get new ones sustainably.

Well, some girl bought a t-shirt I listed. She's nice, payed quickly and I promised to send it off as soon as possible. When I went to pack it, I realized I'm out of envelopes and since my mom recently reorganized almost everything in the house I couldn't find our stash of envelopes and empty packages, so I asked her about it. She told me to check next to the printer and sure enough, there's a few empty envelopes. I take one, pack the t-shirt up, send it off the next day, everything's fine.

Today the girl texts me "Hey, I assume you're gonna need those back?" and adds a picture. They're two pages of ultrasounds. I'm like "huh, that was an empty envelope, what kind of scam is this?" Then I check the actual data on the ultrasounds and notice that it definitely says my birth year, my mom's gynecologist and the place it was taken and I think to myself, oh shit, those are actually mine. No idea how I missed them but yep, those two big pages of ultrasound pictures of pre-birth me are definitely from me.

It all ended up being fine, the girl brought them to the post office today and she was nice about it, but it definitely is embarrassing. My mom's a bit salty about it but doesn't think it's a big issue, which I'm happy about. But yeah, definitely check your envelopes when you're shipping anything, especially when you're reusing them.

TL;DR: Forgot to check the envelope when mailing someone a t-shirt and accidentally sent them ultrasounds of me in my mom's belly along with it.

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 ...
