TIFU accidentally admitting I haven't planned a proposal (yet) for the upcoming trip

TL;DR I fucked up by saying I don't have a specific plan for an engagement during a trip soon, which was my only responsibility.

My and my girlfriend know that we want to get married within a year and I am already researching/shopping for a ring. But we had a small fight yesterday during which I accidentally slipped that I haven't planned, or decided to plan, the proposal to be during our trip which is in less than three weeks.

My excuses are pretty weak, I was working a lot the past 4 weeks and just didn't wrap my head around the topic fully. I know she dreams of a romantic proposal during the trip - just haven't connected the dots yet. We are both very practical people and only the proposal needed to be romantic and generally great.

I simply wasn't thinking about the trip just yet, was planning to get around to thinking about all that next week, now that work has subdued a bit.

So I said something like "I wasn't planning to" but meant "I wasn't planning/thinking about it yet" and this is where I fucked up.

She is furious and says I ruined it because she assumes I wouldn't have done it during the trip... So it quickly devolved into a pretty nasty fight, and we almost never fight.

Not sure what I'm going to do about it, I already apologized a hundred times and said I was just busy but she says (and I admit) it's a weak excuse.

So yeah it's a TIFU through and through and I'm at a complete loss. My body and mind are numb with dread, I am paralyzed and confused as hell.

I want to fix it very badly but just don't know what to do. Now she says I missed my opportunity and I can't say anything to appease her.

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
