TIFU by almost get trafficked, I think?

So I’m (20m) not totally sure what could’ve happened, but hence the title I think it was something to do with trafficking. For those familiar with the world of Grindr, it’s pretty much just used for sex and meets. However, catfishing is really big apparently - I wasn’t aware of this.

I did my usual, finishing working at stupidly late then went on Grindr after having a drink to see what’s going on. I’d never met anyone before and I am kind of new to it still. I finally decided to do it and meet someone I found with (19m). They sent me loads of pics/vids and was fairly local and seemed incredibly real. I suggested meeting not them. It was about 4am and seemed like nothing that bad could’ve happened.

When I checked the maps of the location I noticed it was a small neighbourhood street just off of some country lanes, and it was just a loop. My brain did start to freak out about what could’ve happened but I shut it down as just usual overthinking. I drove there, about 10 minutes away, and then waited outside in my car. They said they’d be 2 minutes and after about 10 minutes I got a text asking to keep my window down so they could see it was me when they came out - which I obviously didn’t do.

At that moment I decided it was getting sketchy and I wasn’t gonna wait outside, instead I’d wait round the corner and drive when they said they’re out. But then a car pulls up and almost blocks me in. The guys window was down and he was slightly older and definatly not the same guy. There was a car parked infront of me but I purposely left a gap due to my worries. He tried blocking me and smiles at me but I immediately sped past. I saw his reverse livjts come on just as I turned on my car so I knew he was trying to trap me.

I knew the road was a loop so at the ended I turned the other way thinking he was just going to try block the country lane. But that was a cul de sac. To make the story short I managed to get through the country lanes without seeing him.

At the end of the lanes there was a turn in and I saw the same white car stopped so I drove on the other side of the road to get past and sped off. They didn’t try persue me.

I have endlessly tried to rack my brain as to what was going to happen. It wasn’t just someone else catfishing cause they wouldn’t have lied about being in the house. I don’t know what they would’ve got from trapping me there but this was also a residential road I could’ve just slammed my horn down if anything happened. I genuinely cannot think what it is apart from an attempt at taking me/raping me?

I’ve been trying to think it’s just me being anxious about it but that’s not the case, I really think something bad could’ve happened and I cannot stop thinking about it. I need to make sense of it really.

TL;DR: I went to meet a guy from Grindr but a car pulled up trying to block me in. I think they were probably attempting to do things to me. The whole thing was planned out but I managed to speed away and get home safe. I’m not sure what could’ve happened

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 ...
