TIFU leaving my partner’s laptop open

This happened yesterday evening. I enjoy video games but I don’t usually have much time to myself to play. Wednesdays I usually get to play for a total of an hour in between doing laundry and other things. I usually play on the tv in the living room but our roommate started working nights and I didn’t want to wake him. So I used my partner’s MacBook Pro to play some fallout in the bedroom. The laptop is technically shared but I say it’s hers because I don’t use it often. I played for maybe 20 minutes before I had to move a load from the washer to the dryer. I was planning on coming right back to the game so I left the laptop open. I ended getting distracted with other chores and then took our dogs on a walk to meet my partner at the train station nearby. I completely forgot about the laptop. Once I finally remembered the game, I came back to a black screen with a white line going all the way across. The corner of the screen was cracked with a purplish blob in the top left corner. Our orange cat bit the fucking screen! Now I have to pay to have the screen repaired with money we don’t have. I feel so stupid.

TLDR: I left my partner’s laptop open for a while and our orange cat bit the fuck out of the corner. Now the entire screen needs to be replaced.

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 ...
