TIFU by accidentally lacing myself with chloroform

So this happened a while ago, but I figured it was finally time to share. I smoke weed occasionally. Im not a huge drug user, just weed and I’ve done mushrooms a couple times. I used to smoke daily in the summer, but when school started and it got colder, I didn’t want to go outside cause it was cold and scary. But every time I smoked in the house I got caught no matter what I did, so one night I got creative.

I grabbed say 10 dryer sheets, a towel, and my bong, then locked myself in our tiny let’s say 5x5 windowless bathroom in the basement. I lined the towel with dryer sheets, rolled it up and got to work. I have a super low tolerance for drugs, and hate feeling out of control, back then I could smoke 2-3 bowls and I was good, nowadays one hits me hard. That night, I took my first hit, shoved the towel in my face and breathed in it for a while. After a while I remembered thinking “holy shit, this is strong,” but I took another bowl anyway.

I was down there for about an hour, on and off the phone with some friends, just chilling. When I went for my second toke, i smoked about half before suddenly feeling insanely sick. I shoved everything in the corner, ran upstairs, and had the worst trip of my life. My mind was racing, I was hallucinating (which is crazy because I have aphantasia and can’t visualize things). At one point, I saw a tiny rollercoaster of mice all holding cheese flying past my face. I was genuinely tweaking the fuck out, I remember being huddled over my trash can mumbling, “it’s only a bad trip if you say it’s a bad trip,” trying to keep myself together.

This went on for three hours, which made no sense for just a toke and a half. I eventually woke my mom up because I legit thought I was dying. She gave me water and crackers, and within 10 minutes, I was fine.

The next morning, I did some research because what the actual fuck was that? The weed was from a dispensary, and I’d smoked it before with no issues. Turns out, dryer sheets have some crazy chemicals like benzyl acetate, camphor, and chloroform. I don’t know which one did it, but I basically gassed myself trying to cover the smell of weed.

That was the last time I ever smoked it my house and to this day, the towel, my bong and the half smoked toke is still in the corner of the bathroom.

TL;DR my ass didn’t want to go outside to smoke so bad that I straight up started huffing dryer sheets. Fuck my life.

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 ...
