TIFU by not being watchful of small kid near cleaner trolley.

I work as cleaner and the trolley that has the sprays, cloths and mop buckets is in a cupboard in the reception section of the primary school. The kids here are around 3 and 4.

I got my trolley and was nearing the door to go out to my section when the dustpan and brush fell off the trolley so I picked it up then the mop fell over. As I was picking them up and putting them back I didn't notice one of the kids dropped his water bottle in the bucket used for the toilets. I think he was trying to get the bottle out and put his hands in the water and putting it in his mouth. The bucket contained disinfectant but had only just been put in so hadn't been used.

When I noticed, I fished out the bottle and that's when the teacher noticed and came over and said not to do that to the kid. Then she told another teacher about it and she was like 😬. She asked me what's in the bucket "chemicals?" and I said "disinfectant". I handed her the bottle and she left with kid who was still putting his hand in his mouth.

I felt very bad about it. I couldn't wait to be outside to pick up the mop cos the mop head was still in the bucket and pole was on the floor and blocking the door from opening.

I hope he doesn't get sick or poisoned from this.

TL:DR Some things fell off my cleaner trolley in the small kids section in school and as I was picking them up I didn't notice a kid playing around in the mop bucket of disinfectant.

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 ...
