TIFU by doing an entire group project on my own 🤦🏼‍♀️ whoops

We were assigned a group project in class. I had missed class two days this week because of illness and saw that on Monday, we were assigned a group presentation on Friday. The “Friday” date in the announcement post wasn’t specified, and we had done a presentation earlier in the year that was due the same week it was assigned, so I naturally assumed that it was due the Friday after it was assigned, four days later.

I make a group PowerPoint and tell my group mates to each claim a slide (I would choose a topic after everyone else did). One claims hers almost immediately (the other two have yet to respond), and I create a general outline for the PowerPoint and how it should flow. I plan to work on it later.

Friday morning rolls around. I have procrastinated a little, and when I log on to do my slide, I see the PowerPoint isn’t yet done. In fact it’s been practically untouched. In the span of a hour, I do the entire PowerPoint (it’s only a 7 minute presentation) and email the rest of the group (a little miffed) that the PowerPoint was done and they should add anything they want/look over it for the presentation today. At this point I have convinced myself that I would be doing the entire presentation as well and I should prepare for this eventuality.

“Oh thanks!” One says, “but we’re doing this next week! That’s why I haven’t done my slides yet, lol.”

Uh oh. Whoops.

I apologize for taking over and let her know she has the prerogative to delete and change whatever she wants. I have class in twenty minutes. We’ll see just how bad I messed up, lol.

TL;DR: I did an entire group project on my own because I got the due date wrong, and trampled on the toes of my group mates by not including them in the creative process. I didn’t mean to exclude them and I don’t want them to think I’m looking down on them for not participating even if they meant to. I just feel kind of bad lmao

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 ...
