TIFU: By getting arrested on a warrant over an unpaid speeding ticket.

So I had a ticket for doing 65 in a 50 which I completely forgot about. I was driving and got pulled over for doing 55 in a 50, I said ok, not that big of a deal I will pay it, it was not dangerous level speeding. But nope, it was not that simple, the cop tells me that they have a warrant out for my arrest. I am baffled and then I realize why, I tell him what happened and he tells me that he has no choice but to arrest me.

I am taken to jail, I am patted down and all my stuff is taken. I am put in a big cell with maybe 20 other women. I wait there for like 2 hours. Then they take me to a back room and there I have to get naked. Fully. I have to bend over, spread my cheeks and cough. It was degrading. They make me wear a uniform and slides. I cannot wear ANY of my clothes not even socks, shoes or underwear.

Then they take my fingerprints and my mugshot and ask me a bunch of question. After about 45 minutes I am taken to my cell. It had 4 concrete slabs as beds, a gym mat on them, a metal toilet-sink combo and a window which was very narrow like 6 inches wide and 3-4 feet tall. 3 women were already in there.

I have to stay there for 2 days and was then taken to court, on the way there I was fully shackled. My hands were handcuffed and handcuffs were attached to a belly chain, I was also restrained with leg irons. After about 5 hours of waiting in court the judge lets me go and I sort out all of my fines and my warrant paperwork. I am finally free.

TL;DR: I forgot about a speeding ticket, had a warrant issued, got arrested and spent 2 days in jail.

No need to downvote if you think I am not taking responsibility, I am not denying my guilt that was already settled in court and I accept it, I just wanted to share a bit and also believe it was a bit over the top when I could have just paid both fines right then if they let me.

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 ...
