TIFU by falling asleep in the shower and flooding the hotel

I am a 17 year old student from the Netherlands and I'm on a 5 day trip to Rome with school. Everything was great, I was exploring the city with my friends, eating out everyday and just having a lot of fun, yesterday me and my friends decided to play some drinking games and get a little fucked up, it was a fun night. But I was irresponsible and drank way too much.

When we went back to our room I got quite sick, I was drunk and had to throw up and i was dizzy and could barely stand. I decided to get into the shower to clean myself up and maybe sober up a little. But I i fell asleep, FOR FOUR HOURS! Nobody noticed that I was still in the shower until someone from a different room walked into the hallway and noticed that the floor was flooded, they saw that the water was coming from our room and quickly woke everyone up.

I got out of the shower still feeling awful and found that the bathroom floor was ankle deep in water, I entered our room and found that is was very flooded too. The water also leaked down and flooded the bar downstairs and caused a lot of damage to the cellar. Me, my teachers, classmates, students from different classes were all mopping up the floor with towels and emptying them in everything that could take water, sinks, toilets, showers, etc.

After at least an hour of mopping the floor like that the floors were dry, but the damage is done, doorframes are curling, floors and ceiling are fucked and everyone knows about it.

My teachers are telling me not to worry and that insurance will cover the damage's, but my feeling of guilt is immeasurable, my teachers and fellow students having to vlean up my mess at 4:30 in the morning, my teachers having to deal with insurance and the hotel and school, and I am terrified of having to deal with my parents and my reputation at school.

I am very lucky that we didn't get kicked out of the hotel and I hope that this will just be forgotten (it probbably won't).

TL;DR: I got drunk and fell asleep in the shower for four hours causing the hotel to flood and caused thousands of Euros in damages and me, my teachers and classmates having to mop up the floor at 4:30 in the morning.

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...
