TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by admitting it was my dog’s poo the yellow lab ate.

I (M 49) have a very small dog. She is only 4 lbs, I walk her frequently and ALWAYS pick up the little turds. TIFU by running out of poo bags that I have attached to the leash. My dog did her thing and when I realized I was out of bags, I decided to make a mental note of where it was and walk about 20 yards down the path to a dog waste station that has a roll of plastic bags. As I returned to pick up the poo, a lady about 65 years old, walking a yellow lab and talking on her phone, approached the spot where my dog left her poo. The lady stops right next to that spot, talking on her phone. I was approaching to ask her to move a little so I could pick up the turd and then it happened. Just as I said, “Excuse me….” her dog ate the turd. One gulp. It was gone. She looked annoyed with me and asked “Yes, what do you want?!” Standing there with the poo bag in hand, ready to pick it up, I replied (and here’s where I really f***ed up), “Oh never mind. I was going to pick up my dog’s poop but it looks like your dog took care of that!” She flipped out and started prying her dog’s mouth open, yelling at me and generally making a scene. I was chastised for not picking up the poo and I explained I was returning to get it etc.. I apologized and started to leave. She then said, “WAIT! I need to see your ID! YOU are going to pay for my dog’s vet bill! I’m calling the police!” I told her I’m sure her dog will be fine (every Labrador I’ve ever known eats poop almost daily). I left and walked home. I remained calm but I wasn’t going to hang out with her going crazy. About 15 minutes later, I got a knock at my door. It was the police! I discussed the situation with the officer. Apparently the crazy lady followed me so she knows where I live. (Great!) She actually called 911 about this. The officer said he didn’t see any criminal violations so he was just going to file a brief report and be done with it. He laughed a little with me and maintained his professionalism despite a rather odd 911 call response. Hope I don’t get sued!

TL;DR : a yellow lab ate my dog’s poo. The owner got mad and called the police.

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...
