TIFU by using a paint sprayer to paint my living room

My husband and I recently bought a house that needed serious updating. We had old carpet and nasty tile (including asbestos) removed, and then installed gorgeous new finish in place red oak, stained a light color. Today I decided to paint my living room sherwin Williams Salty Dog (a very dark blue) and, being somewhat lazy and hating painting with the fire of a thousand suns, decided to try a paint sprayer. I got a Magnum X5, so not super cheap but not top if the line, watched some videos, and started.

We prepped everything using tape and some of that tape with plastic sheeting attached. While my husband left to run an errand, I started painting.

It looked great, and after a few issues (like it stopping when it still had 20% of the paint left in the gallon) I was done. Then I noticed it

Paint. Specifically, aerosolized blue paint that I didn’t realize was coming up in a cloud as I painted. All over my gorgeous new floors. It’s EVERYWHERE. The floor in the living room and part of the hallway now has a slight blue tinge from aerosolized paint.

I’m going to die of the shame. I have no idea what to do.

TL;DR I used a paint sprayer with dark blue paint to paint my walls and the paint aerosolized all over my newly installed hardwood floors, turning them slightly blue.

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...
