TIFU by drinking micellar cleansing water

TIFU by drinking micellar cleansing water.

EDIT: just so you know, I am fourteen. Please don't call me a moron. Don't mock me, for the love of fucking god. I know it was stupid. It's obvious, I posted this on a subreddit that is called Today I Fucked Up. Man. It's not like I do this thinking makeup remover is OK to drink, that I don't need to go out to drink water. I was scared to go out to have a drink, because I've gotten told off for it before. This story is real BTW. I don't karma farm, stop saying I am. Thank you, and I know I sound whiney and annoying in the comments. These comments also made me cry my eyes out after MONTHS of not crying because of how hard they hit.

This only just happened now, and it's like 12am and I'm worried as fuck. I feel a bit sick and I'm worried I'll throw up my guts.

I get thirsty sometimes, like most people. This time, I got thirsty in my room with nothing to drink. I don't like leaving my room after I say that I'm going to bed, and I've also gotten told off for going downstairs at like, 1am before.

There was a bottle of micellar cleansing water (makeup remover) on my dresser because I usually like to do my makeup like most girls. I saw that it was liquid, that there was a lot of it, and ended up taking a sip. I thought it tasted awful, as it would but swallowed it I also did the thing you do with mouthwash in my mouth because I thought it'd make it better.

I then decided to look on Google to see if it was safe to drink. I saw that it could cause nausea, and maybe even vomiting. On a poison control website. However, I also read that sipping fresh water could cleanse your stomach, so I knew what I needed to do and left my room to go downstairs for some fresh, room temperature water.

I decided to ask a family member that was in the living room if it was OK for me to go downstairs at anytime to eat or drink. He said "well, yeah." so I told him that I was really thirsty and drank makeup remover. He opened his eyes widely and said "Fucking hell." I knew that he was worried. He then told me that I can go downstairs at anytime but need to be quiet so that then I don't wake my mother up. He also asked me if I felt ok.

TL;DR: I was thirsty at 12am and drank makeup remover, found out that it was bad and went downstairs to drink water, then told a worried family member.

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 ...
