TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU giving my stool sample at a laboratory.

I 29M recently started a new medication which was causing bloating and constipation. I went to a clinic nearby and saw a general practitioner and based on my medical history he recommended that I do a stool(poo) test. I’ve never done it before so had no clue how it worked and was a bit embarrassed, prior to my appointment I had to wait at the GP for about forty minutes because of delays I had parked my car a couple of streets away and had only one hour parking so was in a rush to move it.

My gut issues were also causing brain fog and anxiety and as a result I made a blunder and did not collect the stool sample kit. I was not even aware that I was supposed to do this and didn’t know what a stool sample kit was.

I managed to move my car on time without copping a fine and continued with my day. I made sure that I ate plenty of fruits and vegetables and drank lots of water.

The next morning I took a new 2L tupperware container and filled it with poo closed the lid, put the container in a paper bag and put in an envelope and drove to the laboratory, I went to the desk gave them the paperwork from the doctor and when asked for the sample took out the tupperware and kept it on desk. The attendant a lady in her late forties was shocked and had a look of horror on her face and said you are supposed to collect the sample kit from the lab and bring it back to us she showed me the sample kit and it was container size of my finger with a tiny spoon. I was standing there like an idiot with this tupperware full of poo, the attendant started laughing. I’ve never been more embarrassed in my life! but it gets worse as one of the lab assistants show up which turns out to be a girl from my crossfit class. As the attendant was trying to explain her what happened I stormed out.

I ended up submitting my sample at a location 20 km away from my house at a different branch and haven’t been to crossfit class for a week, I have this feeling that everyone knows and it’s driving me crazy.

TLDR; I was asked to do a stool test, did not collect the stool sample kit and submitted a kilogram of poo in a 2 litre tupperware container.

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...
