TIFU by not quitting my job

So as the title implies I screwed up and allowed my self to get played. This actually happened about a month ago, and just yesterday blew up in my face. So here what happened I've been working at my current job for 11yrs going on 12 and for 8 of those years I've doing what most of America's been doing looking for a new job. For all the typical reasons one would do that i.e. management was trash, pay sucked , and that one ah co-workers just makes your day just that much worse you know. Any way it took about 8yrs to get a pretty good job offer and was nice too. Came with a $3.55 rise with a payed overtime which would pushed it up by like another $6. The commute was perfect, it was about 10min walk from my apartment a 2min drive. Despite starting earlier the working hours overall were better. The only downside I saw was that this company only hires temps before they bring you on permanent full time. So I bet your wondering why I choose to stay. Well the answer to that was my current company when I put my notice in made me a seemingly better which in hindsight was clearly to good to be true. They promised many things for starters they matched the pay increase kinda it was .55 cents short, but it was supposed to only be temporary anyway so it didn't really matter. They promised me a promotion that came with an even larger rise and I would also be moving to a salaried position VS hourly one have now/was leaving for. The commute to the new position would have been longer 35mins i beleave but the rise would have made up for it, and all of this would have with in a month they promised. So I turned that job down because what was offered seem better. So what actually happened, well the $3 rise is thing only thing I'm going to get/already got. The promotion that was to get yeah thats not gonna happen. They explained it as they were expecting someone to retire about that time but they didn't. Translation the job it self was never there in the first place. Probably should added this at the top but the location were I work is shutting down do to landlord shenanigans so everyone is being relocated elsewhere in the company this is not a promotion it's a lateral move, meaning there is no increase in pay. The position I'm being moved in too was the same position I would have moved in too before I was going to quit. Only difference now then before is $3 rise. The commute to the new spot wasn't financially worth it before and it's not worth it now. The only thing making the longer commute worth it before was the larger raise.

TL;DR I tried to quit for a better job got enticed by a fake offer and passed on a better job.

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 ...
