TIFU when my dad called me at work.

Posting on behalf of my sister who does not Reddit but this story was too funny to pass up.

For context, I got my first cell phone when I was around 10 and haven't updated anyone in my contacts since. Julie Smith got married? She's still Julie Smith. Kevin from algebra is still "Kevin from Algebra." My dad is still listed as what I called him when I was ten, "Daddy." His contact picture in my phone is also an old picture of him holding me as a baby.

My dad called me today while I was at work as a hairdresser with a client. She looked at my phone when it went off and I ignored it because of course I did I was at work. Despite that, she suddenly got this dirty look on her face and was pretty short for the rest of her appointment. I cashed her out and went about my day until my manager called me to her office. Turns out, that lady put in a complaint with my manager. My manager was apologetic as she explained "I'm sorry I even have to talk to you about this but a client complained. She said she thought it was inappropriate that an employee here would have someone calling who was listed as 'Daddy' in their phone." Holding back laughter, I explained that it was indeed my actual father who was calling me and that this lady's mind was stuck too far in the gutter. We laughed it off and while I still haven't updated my contact listing for my dad, I guess I've learned to keep my phone out of view of clients.

TL;DR: A client complained about me getting a call from "Daddy." It was my actual father.

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 ...
