TIFU and my survival items were stolen

TL;DR Living out of a tent, trying to sustain myself and somehow rebuild, theives taken my supplies

Im homeless and have been sleeping in a tent, I have been getting by, doing odd labour jobs i find online wether it be marketplace or gumtree. Anythinf that can help me have money for food.

I usually manage to get a day per week doing something and manage decently.

Now when i was first started sleepin in a tent, I realised soon i would need to be able to make food if i was going to be able to sustain myself.

So i saved each time i had work, to put towards a portable gas cooker/hob. Camping hob.

Great, I can now cook simple soups, rice and beans and whatever else. Living a homeless mans dream.

Today when i returned to ny tent after going to council for appointment about my housing applicatio, II soon realised my hob, small gaming device, 2 oufits and some sentimental items had been stolen!

I am beyond devastated! I havent had any work for a week, and i just have some tinned soup and beans, which i was going to rely on until friday and saturday have 2 days work lined up.

I am osing faith in my ability to find a way out this situation, as now im cold, i have nothing to eat, and havent really ate a full meal in month.

Aswell as that in future i have no way to prepare simple meals for myself, and i cannot afford to hold back so much money for a new hob while earning so little.

Buying food ready made is not sustainable as i quickly found out early into this phase of my life especially having no income.

How can someone be so cruel to steal from somebody that has nothing!?

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 ...
