TIFU by coming out to my family

TIFU by crying my eyes out at my nail appointment

Tomorrow is my prom and I wanted to get a set of nails with some butterflies that are a bit difficult to draw and some sparkles. So I made an appointment with the best nail tech in town a month ago for today, at 11:30h, or so I thought. When I came to her salon at 11:20, there was another girl and she told me that she called her since I didn't show up. Btw she sent me a text at 11:15, but I didn't see it in time. My appointment was supposed to be at 11h on the 30th, not at 11.30. I tought it was 11.30 because I asked her if she was availible on the 30. (in my country it's 30. with a dot, not 30th) and she said "yes, is 11h 30. okay?", so I didn't think she would mention the date since i asked specifically for that day. She told me that she will do my nails since I have prom tomorrow, and the other girl was nice and said she wouldn't mind and that I can get a small design on my nails if I want to. Long story short, I got plain pink nails with a couple of metalic sparkles. The nails are okay, but they aren't like I imagined them to be and they don't really go with the dress. But I'm not going to complain, since she was really nice and insisted on drawing at least something even though I told her she didn't have to. I appologised to her and to the girl for the hundredth time, gave her a tip (which isn't mandatory in my country) and basically ran from the store in tears. I also cried during the entire process and couldn't wipe my nose and I don't even want to know how I looked like. She finished in about 45 minutes and had some time left for the other girl, but she had to move the other appointments for about an hour each.

I don't care that much how my nails look, but I feel extremely bad for messing her schedule for today. And I'm also super embarrassed for crying that much. I wanted to do two more sets of nails during the summer but now i don't know if I would have courage to show up just to take my nails off, let alone for correction. And I don't even know wheter she would give me another appointment ever again. I wanted to also send her a message to appologise, but I don't know if that would be too much apologising.

TL;DR: showed up late for a nail appointment because I missread the time and cried the whole time because I felt bad. Now I'm too embarrassed to go back there ever again.

Edit: I just want to thank everyone for heartwarming messages. It means a lot to me, especially since I expected a lot of negative comments because this is such a trivial thing. I am very tankful for your understanding and support and for not judging me. It really means the world to me.

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...
