TIFU by starting a fight between my parents

Due to some circumstances, a conversation struck up between me and my mum. I was talking about how mentally exhausting my parents are when the fight, and how they, when the other is not there, secretly rage and swear and scorn each other. I told my mum clearly, that she was the scarier of the two, who usually is really angry during a fight and swears a lot. And when it came to my dad, I told her that yeah he also swears sometimes. And my mother looked concerned. I though I made it pretty clear with my mum that, between the two, she swears behind the back more and rants more, and that my dad is a little bit more conservative with the swearing. But BOTH my mum and dad have this thing where they tell each other everything I say even when I tell them not to.

So of course my mum learns this information and goes to pick a fight with my dad about it. She also has this issue where can't drop things. She just keeps nagging and repeating herself and can't drop a subject until it blows up in everyone's face and makes a huge fight. I told her not to tell him that I said that, because he's going to get angry at me and you're going to have a fight. But no, she doesn't listen, she doesn't drop it, and argues into oblivion until my parents are screaming at each other in the middle of the night.

My dad interrogated me saying why I told her those things, and tried to explain to my mum and me that I was lying. I wasn't. But I don't think I was clear enough about how cool he was compared to my mother and how rare it is for him to swear behind her back. My mum also has this thing where she exaggerates and puts words into my mouth. So she obviously extended what I said straight to my dad. Now my dad is angry at me, I'm angry at my mum, and my parents are super pissed.

I dont know why my mother feels so betrayed by my father swearing at her behind her back, when I explained very well, that she's worse when it comes to that and swears and rants 1000x worse.

Now it's nearly 1 am, I'm posting this, and my parents are really going at each other.

TL;DR: I told my parents they swear behind each other's back, and now there's a huge fight.

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 ...
