TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by trusting my body in my sleep - twice.

A couple of days ago, I contracted food poisoning. Things were going well enough, all things considered. At least a good percentage of people might have contracted food poisoning themselves, so you likely know the symptoms - upset stomach, a little nausea (that becomes too much as time passes), diarrhea. The last one was the most prevalent symptom, and it was all liquid. My body was siphoning all the liquid it could from itself and just pushing it out, to the point where it was almost completely water with every bathroom visit. This results in dehydration, and I've been feelings its effects pretty strongly, especially recently.

Last night, I went to lay down so my body could feel a little better. I wasn't intending to fall asleep, but with the way that I lay down, my body has this knack for just passing out. I didn't think much of it, just because I've dealt with bathroom emergencies before and I'm not a heavy sleeper, so if something were about to happen, I can usually get to the bathroom in time.

This was not the case today.

I woke very early this morning after having passed out for about three hours. I could feel cold air on my backside. Something felt wrong, and when I reached behind me to check, I felt an immediate wetness. My body betrayed me and forced me to shit myself in my sleep. The ONLY silver lining to what occurred was that, strangely enough, there was no smell. Mad at myself, I got up and cleaned all that I could, both bed and myself, then padded the wet spot with a towel, then sat down and contemplated my life circumstances at that very moment.

And then, I started to feel a little unwell, which I chalked up to the food poisoning. The thing that usually helped me in these cases of feeling unwell was laying down, so my mind went "Okay. I'll lay down again, but THIS TIME, I'm not going to fall asleep. I can't afford to do that with this shit going on."

So, I went to lay down.

And then I fell asleep.

And then I shit myself again.

After the second cleanup, I literally grabbed a pillow from my bed, went to sit at the computer desk, and fell asleep there, coursing in and out of consciousness as noise played from the speakers. Luckily, it only happened twice and hasn't happened since.

But a close call nearly twenty minutes ago almost painted the whole bathroom. Can't wait for this shit to be done and over with.

TL;DR: Got food poisoning. Decided to fall asleep. Shit myself in my sleep. Woke up, cleaned it, naively went back to sleep and shit myself again. Practice food safety, everyone.

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
