TIFU by basically joking to my boss that I am suicidal

Just for context, I’m the youngest person (23M) in my department and recently have been getting comfortable telling my repressed jokes to my coworkers after a few years of trying to be professional.

Also I do very much have the will to live lol I am just full of Gen Z humor and have minimal situational awareness.

It started with me joking that I was the DEI hire as i’m mixed and the only one who can remotely speak Spanish in the entire bank. That was well received.

I then joked about the names of our customers and how bad they must of had it in high school, Even better received.

One day I walk into the break room to pillage the fridge and see my boss standing around waiting for his meal in the microwave. I habitually go towards the fridge and look for left over food silently walking past him.

“What’cha looking for?”, He asks me to break the awkward silence.

I respond, “Oh you know, the will to live that’s all” I said with literally zero hesitation.

Instantly I felt a wave of “oh shit” come over me as I just realized this isn’t a coworker who’s closed in age to find that as funny as I would.

He simply looks at me wide eyed and chuckles a bit and goes “oh well that’s no good haha”

Not once after that day has he attempted to engage in conversation with me unless it is directly work related and now I feel mortified anytime I’m about to privately engage with my boss.

TLDR: I joked about not wanting to live to my boss and now it’s made it extremely uncomfortable to even be in proximity of him.

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 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 ...
