TIFU by getting a hair cut.

So for context Tuesday I’m going to a funeral. So I thought hey I need my nails done and a hair cut. Why not get them both done today? So I got myself dressed and sat down in the bus. The nails look amazing and are symbolic and represent the person who’s deceased. I nearly cried good tears seeing them on. So riding a high I walked into the barbers. The reason I go to a barbers and not a hair dressers is because A) I have an unconventional haircut for a woman as part of my head is shaved and B) it’s so much cheaper than a hair dressers.

Guess I know why now.

So I got to a barbers shop I frequent regularly for my hair being buzzed. However I also wanted my hair trimmed to just below my ear so it was still long enough to cover it fully if styled in a certain way.

Another thing to note that I wear glasses and my eyesight is terrible without them. Like if glasses didn’t exist I would be classified as legally blind bad. Like can’t read text on a phone unless it’s like pressed against my nose bad.

So I walk in, place is packed. I go to take a seat as the regular guy is busy and his friend/ second barber is going to cut my hair. I think ‘okay. Great.’ I ask for my hair to be cut below my ear. I was very clear and even gestured to where I wanted it cut with my hand. Curling it in around my ear. The barber agrees. I take my glasses off. I sit staring into the mirror as he wets my hair, section it and asks if I’m sure I want it cut from just touching my shoulder to where he’s holding it. I look at it and I’m like ‘I can’t see. So it’s up to you. As long as it’s below my ear.’ He says okay and starts to cut. I sit there. Awkwardly as he cuts. He finishes and OH MY DAYS.

Reddit when I say this haircut is atrocious I mean it. The hair isn’t cut in a straight line. It’s like just gracing the top of my ear. My first thought was that I looked like the Berries and Cream Lad but with much shorter hair. On FaceTime my mum asked me to centre part it and laughed and said I looked like Lord Farrquad from Shrek. I laughed and flipped my hair back. I then realised that it’s far worse because I look like a certain Austrian born Dictator from WW2.

So now I’m stuck. I can either look like Lord Farquad or someone much worse for a funeral that’s in two days. Plus I have work tomorrow and I work with kids. It’s gonna be rough!

TL:DR: I got a bad hair cut just before a funeral.

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 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 ...
