TIFU by going to a school dance

This happened five years ago now. I went to an all girls high school, and I wanted to go to football games and dances so I could meet boys. However, my best friend never wanted to go to any of these events, so I never went either. Halfway through our senior year of high school, the winter formal dance was coming up. I really wanted to go to the dance, because I had never gone before. However, my best friend wasn’t going to go. I had no one close enough to go with, except for some girls that my best friend didn’t like because she got into an argument with one of them about a year prior.

I felt really uncomfortable telling her about this, but I informed her of my plan to go to the dance. I reassured her that she would be my first choice to go to the dance; but I don’t have anyone else that I could possibly go with. My best friend seemed okay with it so she told me to have fun and take lots of pictures. So I went to the dance and that was fun.

But next week at school, she was acting weird. She stop sitting with me at lunch. She avoided me. And most of our classes, we sat together, but she deliberately sat on the other end of the room. There will be times where she would leave the room or the general area if she saw I was there. This went on for about a month. She kind of gave a half assed apology after, but our friendship never truly recovered.

Graduated high school I didn’t want to talk to that girl anymore. But she kept texting me. I thought she would’ve backed off by now, but she hasn’t. And now that she’s come back from college she always wants to hang out. Like literally every weekend if not every other weekend. And the thing is she always wants to go to my house and she’ll overstay her welcome and she’ll stay until like 10 or 11 at night sometimes.

Tl;dr: my introverted friend, didn’t want to go to the school dance, and I didn’t have anyone to go with except some girls she really didn’t like. So my best friend spread rumors about me and completely destroyed my reputation.

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...
