TIFU by getting caught by my neighbors pretending to be a video game character

I was walking back to my parents house through a wooded area on a beautiful day, to walk off this weird post-drinking dissociation I can feel on days after drinking. Perhaps that's a contributor to what happened next. I was in a neighbor's backyard and I realized I needed a stick to clear any spider webs, so grabbed a long, curved one. When I did I realized it kinda seemed like a Katana (curved Japanese samurai swords), I started thinking about a character I tried yesterday called Acheron from Honkai: Star Rail who looks really sick using her katana.

This character:

I was dramatically "sheathing" and unsheathing it and doing "cool" sword moves to clear webs. Then I heard chatter and looked up at the neighbors back deck and saw 4 of them just starting at me. One just gave me a tiny awkward wave and I did the same. I just hope they couldn't hear the sound effects I was making

I'm a grown-ass 37 year old man(child)....

TL;DR pretending to use a stick as a katana and neighbors were watching the whole time

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 ...
