TIFU by saying no to a game

Post a Comment

TIFU by not asking why two guys were in my house.

Me (27) Was woken up today by drilling and went downstairs and saw two guys with a ladder drilling the wall in the corridor between the back door and the garage door. I didn't know what they were doing but when I came back one of them asked if the front light needed doing or not and I said I didn't know. I just assumed that step dad had arranged for them to come round.

My brother (29) was here too and he must've let them in. I didn't ask him who they were and since he didn't have a problem I assumed he knew about them. So I went back upstairs and then took a nap.

Later around 5pm mom came back from work and asked why was the kitchen floor dirty and I told them some guys were doing something with the lights. She was confused cos she said she didn't know anything about anyone coming to do work today. I said I assumed step dad had arranged them.

Then step dad came back and he didn't know about them either. So according to everyone there was just two random guys with a ladder and a drill replacing the lights in our house or something.

Step dad asked why didn't I phone him cos I'm always on my phone and I said I guessed you knew about them and brother was here too and spoke to them so I thought he knew about them too. He said we didn't have half a brain between us and mom said they could've been burglars or anyone and we just left them to it.

They could've gotten my house and neighbours house opposite mixed up cos the way my street is both houses are number 46 but the street name changes on the bend so I'm always telling delivery people and other people that come to my house that they're looking for that house opposite.

TL DR - two guys were in my house that me and brother were aware of but none of us thought to ask them what they were doing or if they were in the right house. Step dad and mom didn't know about them either.

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...
