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 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...
