TIFU by moving a hose

This morning as i was going to leave for work i went to move a hose so i wouldn't drive over it and it snapped off the wall and sprayed water for like 20ish minutes. I had to run upstairs and ask my boyfriends friend who's visiting with us (but I've barely interacted with) for help and because its a townhome we didnt know where the valve is and the water kept spraying for a good 20ish minutes until i figured it out and he turned it off. My boyfriends at work and unavailable so we couldn't call him and his roommate that was home went looking for someone to see if theres a maintenance number for the complex. But being that its a townhome, there isnt one and so i called my mom &grandpa and theyre making an hour drive to me to try to fix it. I called into my job to let them know what was going on and broke down on the phone, but theres been a lot of callouts so they need me to come in as soon as i can. I just want to stay home and work on my assignments but i have to make right my fuckup. Oh, and the friend needed to borrow my gate key for an hour but hasn't come back yet and i need that to let my grandfather into the complex. Im hoping he gets back in time before my grandpa gets here.

TLDR; i moved a hose and it snapped off the wall at my boyfriends place while hes at work. I cant get off work bc of other callouts.

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...
