TIFU One of my wife’s NSFW nicknames is public in a WhatsApp group for our kids soccer team.

She never posts, reacts or responds so I’d never seen it on screen before. We’re present at all practices and games so the online chat which is mostly score updates and highlights doesn’t really interest us as we’re there for it. Last season some of the parents were as cliquey as players can be so nothing was specifically directed our way regardless. I don’t mess with WhatsApp at all myself and this is the only group I’m in. I’m the more extroverted of the two of us so I’ll comment once in a while or update on my daughter’s availability for this session or that.

The first game of the season was last night so again being there I didn’t need to check the goal video. I recorded it myself from a superior angle as the rest of the parents were at field level and I was viewing from a balcony.

Tldr: The new soccer season for my 15 year old daughter started officially this week and my wife was added to the group after me in view of dozens of other parents. How her name appears in my phone contacts got shared automatically.

“So-and-so added Abigail Tittz to the group.”

I checked with the coach and he was dying because it is visible for all apparently. He didn’t bring it up with us. According to him she had a different top-heavy-specific name last season. I’ve given her more pet names over the years than I could count.

I changed her contact name immediately in my phone to her actual first name and married last. My daughter is mortified and I’ve embarrassed myself and my wife in front of the coach, director and dozens of other soccer parents both familiar and new to the team.

EDIT: It sounds like it was possibly her fuck up as I’m not familiar with WhatsApp.

Yeah it’s on her because for all is still says “Juggz McGee” which I didn’t realize either rn apparently. It’s the name of her iPhone and comes up on the display when her Bluetooth is on in the car.

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...
