TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by sitting like a dumbass

Sorry for the crappy formatting and my awful grammar since i’m on mobile.

This happened from last night to early this morning. We need some background first for everything to make sense. My (16m) mom just got back into the dating field and she’s been seeing this one guy since march of 2024. I live in a two family house in the upstairs apartment. Every weekend he either comes to our apartment or she goes to his. This weekend she went by him so I was left alone. The rule is that if there’s an emergency i call my grandmother since she lives downstairs.

I usually just dick around when i’m home alone and fall asleep really late. I ended up getting out of bed at around 8:30 to do a paper craft since I saw a tutorial online and i was struggling with this specific craft for a while. I got everything I needed and i sat at the table. For context, I was sitting with one leg under the rest of my body so it ended up falling sleep. This is important.

Now usually when I craft I throw everything out at the end but tonight i decided to throw out the paper scraps I already had so it wouldn’t be as messy. Here’s where I fuck up. I stand up and notice that my leg is completely numb. I don’t think anything of it since i’ve walked with a numb leg before. I got a few steps in before i collapse under my own weight, roll my ankle and fall on the floor.

Now i’ve had my fair share of nasty falls due to a medical condition but this shit HURT. I started crying from the pain and freaking out. I crawled over to the couch and waited for the pain to go away but it wasn’t going anywhere. I crawled over to the table, grab my phone, and call my grandma. She comes upstairs and my ankle is swollen. She tells me to call my mom, I do, and I go to the hospital. They didn’t think anything was wrong but they just wanted to make sure. I get my x ray done and the doctor comes into explain.

Turns out my little fall caused me to get a hairline fracture in my ankle. They give me a boot, crutches, and discharge me from the hospital and now i’m out of school until the ninth of march. I never did get to finish my paper craft and my ankle still hurts like hell.

TL;DR: I tried walking with my leg that fell asleep and i ended up falling over and fracturing my ankle

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...
