TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by asking my cousin to see his anime figuRes

Obligatory: this didn't happen today, but a few weeks ago.

I (27f) recently took some time off to visit Japan for a week with some friends. At the same time, my cousin (26m) was visiting another country, but arranged his itenerary so he could spend one day in Japan and be on the same flight as me going home (we live in the same city). He and I grew up together like siblings until about grade school, and stayed close despite not living in the same state until recently.

On the day of our flight i met him at the airport and we were sitting at our gate, chatting about our respective trips, when the topic of his one day Japan exploration came up. He and i both have kind of nerdy interests, and when he told me he bought a carry-on bag just to bring home the anime figures he'd bought, I was really curious and asked to see them. He said he didn't feel like unpacking his carefully tetrised bag to show me, and tried to placate me by telling what characters he'd gotten and describing the specific outfits they wore. that just made me wan't to see them more. I told him i would help him remember how his bag was packed and put everything away the exact same, how we had a solid 40 minutes before boarding so there was plenty of time to organize everything, and that we had nothing else to really do or talk about. With that, there was nothing left for him to argue with and he relented, opening up his carry-on duffel.

He pretended it wasn't there and simply moved it aside to show me the figure boxes underneath, but i would've had to be blind to not see the obvious fleshlight at the top of his bag. It was still in it's packaging, but there was a clear plastic window in the box facing me and i could see the opening of it had ridges and spikes and shit. there was also pictures of a busty woman in lingerie all over the box. I completely ignored it and focused on the figures he was pulling out to show me. When he was done, he awkwardly put everything away (not difficult, as the bag literally just had 5 or 6 boxes in it) by himself. I didn't offer to help him as i'd previously promised, and he didn't request it of me. He had this vacant look on his face like he was trying to astral project into another reality, and I'm not sure how well i was able to control my own expression. We were quiet for a while until I pulled some bullshit out of my ass to talk about until boarding.

Again, we're very close and each consider the other to be our "favorite cousin". He's comfortable telling me about what anime girls he finds hot or showing me sexualized figures/art, but that's completely different from me seeing a sex toy that he plans on using. Not to mention, we were surrounded by other people and some of them definitely saw the fleshlight, or at least the packaging with the barely clothed woman on it. It wasn't even a 2d anime girl, but an irl gravure model with her nipples out. I feel bad for pressuring him into revealing something embarrassing to me and the elderly strangers around us. I'm sure he never wanted me to know he uses stuff like fleshlights, or that he went out of his way to buy one in another country. Also, it was specialized fleshlight that had spikes and was battery powered, which i think is worse than if it had been your run-of-the-mill fleshlight.

Soon after, we boarded our 15+ hour flight back home. I felt guilty so I gave him my phone to play games (i had a lot of games that don't need wifi) for the whole flight. he got really addicted to a stupid puzzle game and hopefully it took his mind off the situation.

tl;dr: i pestered my cousin into showing me an explicit sex toy in a crowded public space. Sorry man.

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...
