TIFU by not checking Reddit before eating dried apricots.

So TIFU. There was a post I’ve just now seen from 10 months ago posted in this subreddit. It mentioned about not realising that eating dried apricots were similar to eating prunes. I couldn’t comment on the post so made my own to say OH MY GOSH. Do not eat half a bag of dried apricots in one sitting! To clarify what the previous poster said ‘4-5 max’.

It’s my one day off this week and I’ve spent the last two hours feeling a bit funny and have had to hang up the phone on my dad to make it to the bathroom in time.

If you’re reading this in the future not knowing why you’ve experienced the same it’s because apricots are super high in fibre and other stuff that’s good in SMALL doses. Some of the properties mean that liquid is sent to your digestive area and makes it pretty hard to store what your body’s been cooking.

I hope you’re having a better day than me haha.

TL;DR - I ate half a bag of dried apricots and am stuck on the toilet.

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 ...
