TIFU by opening a Lego set I bought for myself last year

As the title states, I fucked up by opening a Lego set I have been meaning to build since I bought it for myself for Christmas.

For Christmas, I bought a couple Lego sets for myself, and included in that was the Bird of paradise from the botanical collection. I love the orchid and bonsai tree, so I got the bird of paradise and I decided to do it today. Little did I know after looking up on the Lego website just now to see if they added any new botanical collection sets, the bird of paradise has been discontinued.

I got the set on sale for $70, and now Walmart and Amazon are selling them for $200. I can imagine they will go up much more 10 years down the line.

I’m not too upset about it because I really wanted to build it anyways, but if I knew, I probably wouldn’t have ever opened it and held onto it for a decade to see how it appreciated in value. But, at the end of the day, I’m enjoying building it and I’m not in dire need for money. So it is what it is!

TL;DR I opened a Lego set I bought last year that has since been discontinued.

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 ...
