TIFU by accepting a friend request

It's kind off a lame one compared to many others I've seen but for me this is a huge FU.

I got this friend request and usually I just ignore them but this one looked familiar so I accepted. Huge mistake.

I used to work with this guy many years ago and he would "chat" me by sending a hi how are you and after my first respons he would always send videos of him, talking while being in bed (we worked early mornings so many off us went to sleep after we got home). I always just responded with text because idk how else to respond. I was so weirded out by this. I had never been in a conversation like this, and the fact that he was in bed as he sent these... Like I could get if you're dyslexic and ha e trouble typing that maybe it's easier to send like voice notes... But actually doing selfie video replies while in bed... Maybe it's just me, but I was seriously weirded out.

He moved away and he removed me as a friend. I didn't think anything off it and was actually kinda glad he stopped messaging me.

Now it turns out, he has moved back and wants to rekindle our "friendship". I honestly didn't remember him since it had been years so I was like, okay we can chat I guess... Then he did it again... He sent a video response to a written message and all the awkwardness came back.

He has always a ton off emojis in his messages, I hardly ever use any and am simply just not trying to match his "energy". Now he has sent a message asking if I would like to meet up for coffee. My head is screaming no. I haven't opened the message.. I just want to block him to be honest but I'm also a people pleaser and don't want to be rude.

So a lame TIFU but I'm honestly cringing so bad.

TL;DR I forgot how cringe an old coworker made me feel and accepted a friend request and now I'm back in the same cringe situation...

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 ...
