TIFU by calling a little boy a little girl, twice

I took my 2 year old son to a local fair that had a petting zoo area. We got some feed and as we went into the enclosure, my son pushed ahead of a kid with waist long hair so I caught him and told him we have to wait since this little girl was feeding the goat first. The kid turns around and says I'm a boy! Flustered I said omg I'm so sorry buddy my mistake, and ushered my kid to a different part of the pen. Not even five minutes later I see him rushing in front of another long haired kid and I call out watch out for the little girl. To my absolute horror the kid turns around and it's the same fucking boy. He looked me dead in my eyes and yells I'm a boy! His dad looks over at me and is giving me the stink eye. I'm so embarrassed, flustered and generally feeling so bad for what I did to the kid and the first thing that comes out of my mouth is, I'm so sorry it's the hair it confused me. Cue the boy looking super sad and he walks over to his dad says something I can't make out and leaves the petting zoo area as the dad follows, glaring at me. I felt lower than the goat shit that was littered throughout the pen. I didn't know what I could do or say in that situation and I've been thinking about it all day. I really hope that kid didn't cut his hair because of me cause it was really nice

TL;DR Called a little boy a little girl twice in a short period of time and made him leave the petting zoo area. 😭

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...
