TIFU by staying up all night and then dozing off in the dawn to miss my flight

So I have to travel to this other city in a totally different time zone, and be there on time to register by EOD today, for a conference that starts tomorrow. I had a flight at 7:30 in the morning so I thought I’d just stay up the night (I’m a night owl) and be on time for flight and just sleep on the flight. Well…turns out I dozed off towards 4:30ish..got up around 5:30…rushed to the airport….and still missed the damn flight. My flight was paid for by my boss..who’ll also be there in the conference, and he was expecting me to be early and register us both. Seems like now he will be the one to register us!

I requested the airlines front desk and they checked me on to the next flight which is still hours away. Now I’m sitting here in the airport chair, feeling like a piece of shit, embarrassed at myself, and ruminating what should I tell my boss. The coming week was supposed to be eventful for me, but no, what a crappy start!

TL;DR didn’t sleep through the night, and overslept in the morning to miss the flight

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 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 ...
