TIFU by letting my brother put a hifi in my bedroom

This happened a few months ago and is still on going, my brother was renovating his bedroom and decided he wanted a hifi, a decent modern one that can do music streaming but also CDs, he bought it and some speakers but when he went to install the shelf to put it all on his studs detector kept saying there was pipes in the wall, at the same time i also cleared out my bedroom and made some space atop a set of drawers for my RC Pond Racing Yacht (you see where this is going?) that needed some work, it was a nice place to keep my little woman of the ponds and maintain her.

​

Well turns out that since the hifi couldn't go in his bedroom, he started eyeing up that lovely space in my bedroom, he talked me into it, there was nothing i could do, he told me i could use it too and listen to my music on it, and i assumed he wouldn't use it much.

​

This was only a small hifi box, i could put my boat on top of it maybe, that's when he brings in one of those amazon alexas with the screen! i had no choice but to let my boat be buried behind it all, all i see of it is a mast and sail sticking up from behind the speakers.

​

We set it up and the sound quality was amazing, tried out some of my music and it sounded great too.

​

But 2-3 months on, my brother insists on using this hifi every night, so i have no privacy, he plays awful music as well, some sort of annoying electronic song called I-Robot (i thought that was a movie with will smith in it?) literally almost every night, or the radio, and where i sit i'm right in front of it and my headphones don't have noise cancelling, he sometimes turns it all the way up to annoy me, worse still is that i'm not allowed to play any of my music on it anymore because 'it's crap' he played about 30 seconds of a spirit of the glen CD i had and said 'who listens to this crap?' he also insists on having the speaker covers removed even though i think it looks trashy.

​

Today he tells me there's something i need to see, i thought it was an early christmas present or something, i go in my bedroom and there it is, a big box with a picture of a subwoofer on it, he then says i need to clear space for it and in return i can listen to some of my music on it, where he wants to put it i currently keep a printer so i'll have to move that.

​

TL;DR: Let my brother put a hifi in my room, now he is slowly taking over my room

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...
