TIFU by trying to impress my crush with a romantic gesture gone wrong

Like any typical rom-com protagonist, I've had this massive crush on a co-worker for what feels like ages. Valentine's Day was looming, and I thought, "Hey, this is my chance to make a move!" But instead of sticking to the usual cliches like flowers or chocolates, I decided to get creative. Too creative, it turns out.
I spent days scouring Pinterest for the perfect DIY romantic gesture. And that's when I stumbled upon the idea of making a personalized love potion. Yeah, you heard that right – a love potion. In my misguided attempt to be charmingly quirky, I concocted this elaborate mixture of herbs, spices, and some questionable ingredients I found in the back of my pantry.
Fast forward to Valentine's Day, I nervously presented my crush with the potion, explaining it was a "symbolic gesture" of my affection. But instead of being swept off their feet, my crush looked at me like I'd just handed them a vial of toxic waste. Turns out, one of the "questionable ingredients" I threw in was expired hot sauce, which made the potion smell like a dumpster fire.
Needless to say, my attempt at romance crashed and burned faster than you can say "love potion disaster." Now I'm not only nursing a bruised ego but also desperately trying to avoid eye contact with my crush in the break room.
TL;DR: Tried to impress my crush with a DIY love potion, ended up making them gag with the smell of expired hot sauce. Romance fail at its finest.

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 ...
