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 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...
