TIFU by having my dental appointment right before thanksgiving

This was actually yesterday i had the appointment but feeling the effects today. I got braces a few months ago and have been going in about every six weeks to get them tightened/get a new wire. At my last appointment, they offered me yesterday as the only day or i would need to wait another week after for an appointment. I didn’t think much of it and said ok that’s fine. Well, they gave me a bigger wire and as the tech was putting it in the back bracket as her final step, it broke. Therefore she had to undo all of the bands and tightening to replace the back bracket. After fixing it, she made sure the wire was in there really solid and proceeded to push down really aggressively on the wire to get it into place. Like, pushing it so hard that my jaw hurt from bracing against her fingers while she added the rubber bands and re-tightened everything. It was a little sore yesterday but i took ibuprofen and ate ice cream so it didn’t bother me much. Today, my teeth are so sore i can barely eat anything more solid than cottage cheese 🥲. I can’t bite down with any pressure on the tooth she needed to replace the bracket, and i can’t even use a straw because the sucking motion makes my front teeth hurt. So there’s about three teeth on my other side that i can use to chew somewhat. So now, i’m stressing about tomorrow because i love thanksgiving food but also i don’t want to make the pain worse. I didn’t even think about thanksgiving when i made the appointment and i should’ve just waited another week. Much of the food is soft, like stuffing, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes but i’m cringing thinking about trying to eat turkey like this. I may have to resort to caveman style and shredding it with my fingers before trying to take a bite and also stay away from tortillas. They’ve not been this sore at my last three appointments so i was not expecting this at all.

TLDR; i went to an orthodontic appointment to get my braces tightened, and now i can’t eat any foods that are harder than mashed potatoes, right before a food holiday.

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...
