TIFU by calling a handball

I was refereeing a soccer game yesterday, as I had been all weekend, and I am finally on my last game, It was the 10th game of the weekend, and I was extremely tired, Some kid touches the ball, I blow my whistle, and I call out (pretty loudly mind you, decent sized field) "Hand!".

Well, now imagine my complete mortification, when I look at this child, and he does not, in fact, have a hand on the arm he hit it with. And to make matters even better, my dad, and sister were already there, and laughing their asses off about it.

When I woke up this morning, and got downstairs, I see my siblings sitting at the counter, and when they saw me, they started laughing, and my sister that was there said "Hand".

TL;DR: I called a handball on a kid missing a hand, and my family is never going to let my live it down.

Edit: Yes, I know that is the call, only 1 of the 3 siblings play soccer and she doesn't care to back me up, My siblings bring up things from 10+ years ago, I am not going to live this down

Edit number 2: The kid found it funny, was joking with friends and the coach, I apologized for my families laughter anyways, and the kid just laughed and said my reaction was funny. If the kid took it badly I would have told my family to shut up, or asked them to leave

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 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 ...
