TIFU by accidentally dropping a piece of concrete onto a car

So near my house there's a deteriorating parking garage. It's in such a bad condition that the entrance is blocked off for vehicles and nobody's allowed to park their cars on it. However, there is still cars parked on the parking spaces next to it.

I recently started skateboarding and I thought that I might be a good place to skate because of the smooth concrete and open space. I went there once before and it seemed to handle me skating on it so I went there again today.

I was just going in a big figure 8 trying to get my turns on point, but I kept hearing this sound which was similar to someone kicking a football against a wooden fence/wall. I didn't think much of it, since there's a bunch of kids constantly playing in my neighbourhood, and it didn't bother me much since I was listening to a podcast anyway.

What I didn't notice at the time, was that I could hear the sound each time I went to the right side of the parking garage. After a while I got curious, so the next time I got around to the edge I looked over to the parking spaces next to the garage.

right next to edge of the parking garage I saw a car with a big chunk of concrete on it's shattered windshield. Next to the car were more chunks of concrete that had fallen off the parking garage.

I put the pieces together fairly quickly and realized that my weight shifting to the right side of the floor I was on probably caused it to fall and smash the car.

There aren't any security cameras, or at least I haven't seen any, but still, I didn't want to face any consequences, so I just picked up my skateboard, took the stairs down and tried to act like I was just nonchalantly skating off into the sunset.

TL;DR I skateboarded on a deteriorating parking garage, which caused a chunk to fall off and break the windshield of a car parked nearby.

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 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 ...
