TIFU by trying to save a dollar but ended up spending $95

Trying to save $1 ended up costing me $95 and a chunk of my trip

I had booked a train ticket to visit another city for the day and then head back home as a sort of mini trip. To get from my house to the train station I had two options.

Option 1: take a bus for $8

Option 2: take a bus and then tram for $7 total and arrive 5 minutes later

I had pre planned plenty of time to be at the train station so I decided to go with option 2 and eat the 5 minutes just to save that dollar.

Well, as luck may have it, there was an incident on the tram specifically for the area I was at which caused them to put shuttle busses…. Which were all full and couldn’t take any more passengers. Long story short, I ended up arriving late for my train (I planned my trip to be an hour early just in case of delays in my route, and ended up being 30 minutes late for departure) and now I have to pay $95 to transfer to the next train and will have about 90 minutes shaved off my trip for the day :(

All because I wanted to save that precious dollar lol. In hindsight, I should’ve taken an Uber, but when that thought crossed my mind it was already too late, I might as well have waited for the next train.

TL;DR I decided to take the cheaper route which then ended up delaying me and causing me to miss my train, thus I had to pay $95 to take the next one

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...
