TIFU by being young and stupid by throwing away family photos

Obligatory statement that this didn't happen today or last year, but actually many, many years ago.

Roll back 2010's my family just got introduced to computers and me being just a silly 10 year old who only had flash games in mind and nothing else didn't really think out certain things. If you remember there was a Picasa 3 app thingy and my family made me the tech head at that time as I helped with uploading pictures to the computer and on some social media sites. Well I remember there being about 5000 photos and videos on that hard drive, I don't think I knew what cloud service even was back then and whether or not I even had it activated.

Anyways FF to 2015, I'm 15 and the PC died, and what did my dumbass do at that time? I didn't even think about photos, nor did my family its just something I wish I would've kept, but basically I took the hard drive, opened it as a fun science experiment and later just threw it in the garbage, though it was dead as soon as I opened the cover. As if that wasn't bad enough, those social media accounts? I didn't backup those either and just deleted them because why would I care about some random photos.

Now we just have physical photo albums till about 2008, a large gap and resuming from like 2016. What I wouldn't give to view those photos again just for the memories. I still hate myself.

TL;DR Was young, didn't care about a thing as photos, didn't know what a cloud service was or backups even. Opened and destroyed a hard drive worth something more than money can buy.

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...
