TIFU by helping my sick husband

Today, my husband and I had to go to the doctor, the pharmacy, and the library . I initially offered to drop my husband off back home after his doctor's appointment and our trip to the pharmacy, but he said no, he'd like to go to the library with me too (just had to turn in some books of ours and check out some we had on hold).

While we were at the library, my husband really had to use the bathroom. He's a wheelchair user, though normally he's totally fine to move himself from his wheelchair to the toilet. However, he's feeling really sick today and is really fatigued, so I went into the bathroom with him to help him get from his wheelchair to the toilet. The bathroom at our local library branch is just one single user bathroom, so anyone who's waiting to use it just has to stand outside.

We were in the bathroom for a little while, about 15 minutes. When my husband was done, I opened the door for him to exit the bathroom, and as soon as I did that, he said "thanks baby" (referring to me opening the door) and I said "no, thank you, cutie" (for him coming to the library with me instead of having me drop him off at home first).

Immediately after saying this, I stepped out and saw that there was a woman waiting to use the bathroom. She had a mild-to-moderately horrified look on her face and went into the bathroom. Given the face she pulled, we're pretty sure she thought we were fucking in the bathroom. Not the biggest fuck up in the world, but definitely pretty embarrassing (and I really hope she didn't say anything to anyone working there after...)

TL;DR: Helped my husband (who uses a wheelchair) get onto a public toilet and I'm pretty sure the person waiting to use the bathroom thought we were fucking in there.

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 ...
