TIFU by sending a Harvard educated lawyer training materials with a “yo mama” joke in them

So I (25m) am in between jobs and so am working for my dad’s firm doing a lot of paperwork I am qualified to do. I am a stem person with a ton of programming experience so I am really good at helping them figure out more efficient ways to fill out forms or letters that are very repetitive. I also have a few professional tests under my belt so I can do a reasonable job proofing financial transactions (just checking for math or spelling errors basically). Nothing too crazy at all.

A huge part of what I am supposed to be doing is generating training materials for all the odd jobs I know because they never really built up materials and now that they are expanding they don’t have the same time to train each person one on one. To help out I generated a bunch of example legal paperwork that we can show trainees without having to show everyone client information. When I was first generating this information I thought only my dad would look over the first draft so I thought I would come up with funny names and addresses for the example clients such as “Yo mama’s house” being the address of a dummy firm. My dad chuckled at it and said it all looked great and we moved on and I meant to go back and fix some of the more stupid things later, but I got caught up with my more serious work.

We have recently hired a new Harvard law grad and I sent her the training docs so she could quickly train on what I help with (she will probably have to do it every once in a while) but right after I sent it I realized I had forgotten to fix the egregious errors. I have been worrying about it for 3 days now and I have to meet with her next week to review the materials.

Bruce Wayne and Jarvis Stark are some other names I used for example clients.

Tl:dr; made some aggressively silly training material meaning to make them more professional later but forgot and sent them as is to a Harvard educated lawyer.

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 ...
