TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by not checking the dishes

I was staying with a friend for a couple days, and part of that was making my own food. He made dinner for me two of the nights, but the rest of the time I was on my own, which was fine by me.

I made instant ramen, sticking just to the water, flavoring packet, and a little hot sauce because I didn't want to use up all his food. It tasted really different than it does at home, but I chalked it up to differences in the tap water.

Chores were divided according to a chart and for the first few days I was there, dishes were his sister's responsibility, not ours, so I just rinsed and scraped my pot when I was done and put it in the sink, which was overflowing. You couldn't see the bottom.

On the third day I was there, it was our turn to do dishes. I went to go wash the pot I had used, and then i saw-

God I wish i had thought to take a picture. The bottom of the sink was filled with several inches of dark brown liquid, some mix of coffee and water and food gunk from the dishes being soaked. Drain was clogged i guess? I showed my friend and he went on a rant about his sister, so seems like it was a normal occurrence.

But the worst thing was the cleaning brush. It used to be white. It was DEEPLY stained brown. Like, beyond repair. It clearly just lays in the sludge and soaks it in, and I'm guessing hadn't been replaced in a long time. I tried to post this in r/wellthatsucks but that sub requires an image and when I tried to google "dirty gross dish scrub brush" I genuinely could not find any that were even close to this level of foul.

I feel so gross that I ate like five meals from dishes that have not been genuinely cleaned in god knows how long. Next time I visit i'm only bringing packaged snacks!

​

TL;DR: Noticed my ramen at a friend's house tasted off, ignored it and made it several times. On the last day of my stay, saw the sink empty for the first time- it and the scrub brush were completely foul, irreparably disgusting. :(

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...
