TIFU by forgetting I changed my ringtone.

A few months ago I got nostalgic about the whole custom ringtones trend that was popular back in middle school. So I played around on my phone, found the setting and tried out a few until I got bored. Didn't bother resetting because my phone is always on silent anyways, so I figured there'd be no consequences.

Fast forward to today. I've got my headphones in, blasting Dear Maria, and in a deep focus on some CAD work when my music abruptly cuts out...

A few seconds of noise cancelling dead silence...

(nightmare sing-song Portal turret voice) "Helloooooo! Is anyone there?"

I don't often have nightmares, so it's been a minute since I jolted upright in a cold sweat quite this violently. Much to the bewilderment and general concern of my coworkers lol

TL;DR: Pranked myself with a time-delay jumpscare by forgetting my custom ringtones.

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.

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 ...
