TIFU By finding out my friend is racist when I wanted to surprise him.

I don't mean haha dark humor racist I mean a racist that tries to mask it as a joke so they can speak freely. I can handle a racist joke if it's actually funny and creative but its rare. And the friend shares the class with me.

Sorry if I'm rambling I'm so upset right now.

17M, I'm a culinary student, my culinary teacher had over 20 baskets of strawberries left over. Going to be honest, I was having a shit week due to the pressure of college and wanted to make at least one persons day better so, I took one basket with the intention of handing them out at lunch to be nice. As I was handing it out at lunch, got the underclassmen to smile, and It cheered me up. I went over to my “friends” table. I hear him m making awful comments as black people and saying slurs, I will not repeat them here. He was so invested he didn't see me walking up to the table to offer the strawberries to the table. I am black, normally his”jokes” are implied or you fill in the blank. I let those slide because I didn't think he could be that awful. Think extremely corny and dry.

He finally saw me and gets nervous as he didnt expect me, but then the bastard doubles down. “it doesn't count since I didn't say it around them!”, "Its not racist to say words if its in private" and another dude I genuinely respected said “oh like er?”. this was unprompted. I would have let it slide if it didn't come out so naturally. I can tell if you say it in private just from how it sounds, if you say it a lot it has a type of “flow” to it. I tried to laugh it off but I just shook my head and walked off. He tried to tell me “cmon OP you know I was joking!”

I handed the last of the remaining strawberries to my economics teacher. The other friend who I lost respect for was very quiet in class. Normally we would chat and he would hype me up on assignments.

The racist friend who was making the jokes had a history of being called creepy but in my attempt to get along with every one of my peers I kept them in mind but still interacted with him. I couldnt fit it all his allegations and things he admitted on one post without lengthening it. i feel like an idiot for feeling bad for him, normally share reels with each other and when he was going through a break up I went out of my way to make sure there wasn't a couple in it. I never dated before so I thought it was an appropriate action.

Just to find out from a mutual that his version of the breakup wasn't true, my "friend" ranted to the mutual about relationship issues and when the girl found out she broke up with him, the mutual told me that he called her out of her name multiple times and thought she was cheating with her lesbian friend, he was being insecure, that's why. Now I'm ghosting him on Instagram and am short with him in class but he hasn't noticed. The mutual is cutting contact and so will I.

I swear Virginia has been the most racist place I ever lived, you think you know a guy. TLDR was handing out strawberries at lunch and caught my friend being racist.

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...
