TIFU by assuming the mouse was somewhere else

TLDR I have a family of mice in my house and today one of them got to fly across my room

I work night shift and was trying to catch some sleep after a long night at work and before I went to get a late lunch with a friend. My friend called me to check the time for lunch and woke me up but NBD, I can just pass back out for a couple hours before I have to start getting ready EXCEPT there has been a little family of mice taking shelter in my walls/ceiling and mantle. And right now one of them is making noise in the mantle again… or so I thought. I have a peppermint spray that I use in the cracks when I want the mice out of the mantle. Proven fairly effective to get the mice to stop making too much noise when I want to sleep. At this point I will also mention I have traps out for the mice (glue traps and poison baits, stfu about non lethal traps because they haven’t worked either) and apparently the mouse was not in the mantle but in the poison trap. I picked it up to make room for the peppermint spray bottle and IMMEDIATELY noticed it was super heavy as a mouse FELL OUT INTO MY HAND. Normally if this had happened when I wasnt half asleep. I would have one more mouse down, idk how many more to go. But since I wasnt fully awake I freaked out screamed and threw the mouse at the ground. My second defense against the mice (my cats) were freaked out by my scream and absolutely NO HELP. I saw the mouse run under my couch and now I am way too wide awake to go back to sleep and am terrified the mouse will crawl out of the couch and exact revenge on me at some point. Gonna be a little tired for lunch I guess.

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...
