TIFU By slapping some guy's ass in the gym.

So recently, me and my boyfriend have starting this thing where we playfully slap eachothers ass while passing by eachother. We've been doing it so much so that I don't even realize I'm doing it sometimes because my monkey brain has started doing it instinctively. Well, I didn't think this would actually be an issue until today.

I was at the gym doing my normal routine, when I tired myself out from doing a bunch of reps and so I began to walk to the water fountain to get water. On my way there, some very muscular and very young guy was doing weighted squats. As I passed by him, I slapped his butt. It wasn't lightly either. I hit him with a full "wind my arm up and toss it at his ass" kind of slap. I didn't even realize what I did until he stopped his squat, turned around, and stared at me. He was pissed. He didn't even say anything.

Now, here is the part where I should have came up with an excuse, or atleast apologized, but I didn't. For some reason, my panicking brain just froze and stared right back at him. I said nothing, he said nothing, we just stared at eachother, until eventually he made a "what the fuck" gesture with his hands. This, I guess, snapped me out of it and I began to apologize rapidly and say "I thought you were someone else" because that seemed like the most believable excuse to me. Immediately afterward, I left the gym and said nothing more to him.

I feel really bad, I mean I just SA'd some random dude without thinking about it. I'm also worried he might tell someone, like the police? I don't really know what to think. I told me BF about it and he laughed and said that the guy probably doesn't care as much as I think he does, but the guy's reaction made me think otherwise. Nevertheless, I've stopped playfully slapping anybody out of fear of this instinct become anymore of an issue.

TL;DR: Instinct developed by me and my BF slapping eachother playfully made me slap some guys ass, I panicked and started at him afterwards, said sorry, and then ran out of the gym.

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 ...
