TIFU by wanting to be a good friend

The actual FU happened about last year, but I’m facing the consequences of it now. Last year, one of my friends was starting the process of separating from his now ex wife. He told me that she would be taking the car, thus leaving him without a car. He was my friend for 10+ years, so I of course said yes when he asked if I could co-sign for him to get a car. After all the paperwork was done I had told him that if he ever needed any help with a payment to let me know, not only to save my credit if it were ever in jeopardy, but as a bro too.

Fast forward to three months ago where I started getting letters in the mail from unpaid toll tickets and calls from the bank saying that he was two months behind on payments. I reached out to him asking what was up with the toll tickets and the missed payments. He told me that he was out of work for about two months, hence why he was behind on payments. He eventually blocked me after constantly asking him if he’d payed off the tickets and the due car notes.

Now I might be stuck paying a car that I don’t even drive let alone like in fear that he might miss out on another payment in fear that he might get it repossessed and damaging my credit. I feel both betrayed and angry, I just don’t know what to do.

TL;DR don’t co-sign for your friends no matter how long you’ve known each other for.

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 ...
