TIFU by flashing an entire restaraunt

So this was about a month ago, but I am still mortified. I am a trans woman and have been publicly out for about a year now. A few months ago I started experimenting with more feminine clothing and fell in love with flowy skirts, dresses, etc. I’m sure some can see where this is going…

I was sitting on the curb after work waiting for an Uber. Now, I’ve been wearing skirts and such for a while at this point, and it’s not like I don’t know the obvious “don’t spread your legs” etiquette, but admittedly at times I forget things like this. After such a long day my mind was completely elsewhere, and all I could think about was how badly my feet hurt in the new boots I just bought. I dressed up extra fancy that day because a friend was having a get together later that night. I was a Barista at the time and after a full shift of standing in heels all I wanted was to sit and relax.

So I’m sitting on this curb with my knees to my chest, just scrolling Instagram when I finally look up and.. my heart drops. Across the street, I’m faced with my reflection in the window of a busy restaurant. After a few cars pass I can get a closer look, and that’s when it hits me. I’ve been flashing every poor soul that’s passed me by my bright pink underwear. Immediately I crossed my legs and assume at that point that I was red as a tomato.

I looked closer to see if anyone would’ve realistically been able to see anything, and all I can do is assume the window seaters were too caught up in their own convos too look outside… But the psychic damage had already been done. I hung my head in embarrassment and dipped tf outta there as SOON as that Uber arrived 😭

tldr: I sat on the curb in a short skirt and forgot how skirts work, effectively flashing an entire restaraunt

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...
