TIFU: By asking a math question

The other night I was hanging at a club in Braga, my hometown, trying do some form of dancing, nearby there was a girl that caught my eye. Totally in her own bubble, going with the music. Not wanting to interrupt I accepted my fate and just kept parallel dancing, each of us in their own flow.

As songs go by, in one of those moments I was staring at her, I noticed 2 angry guys behind her back on that pushing and shoving stage of a fight.

She isn’t moving away.. she can’t see.. so I stretch my arm and loudly say “watch out”, pulling her away and putting myself as a wall, with my back to her, facing the guys

Fortunately, security quickly stepped in and the fight was over in seconds, and everyone starts chilling again.

On a moment where the music slows down and she reaches for her purse, i approach and say “Sorry for touching, it was getting tense there”.

She answers “oh no, I’m thankful” staring at me for the first time. Damn, i melted. Anxiety kicks in and I feel a 15-year old again, and the only thing that came to mind was the icebreaker I’ve been thinking about all the time I was dancing.

“By the way, do you know how much 9x9 is?” Her eyes stared into the abyss, probably questioning everything about the situation, and I say: “Duh, 81” and laugh She answers “Fact” and looks back at her purse.

We kept the parallel dancing, her on her flow and me questioning if I should ask her what’s 7x6 now.

When she left, our eyes crossed, a nod, and that was it.

TLDR: Great opportunity to meet a girl, panicked, and made a stupid question ruining the moment

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 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 ...
