TIFU by replying “I love you too” to my boss on a Zoom call

This happened yesterday and I’m still trying to forget it ever occurred. Spoiler: I can’t.

So I was wrapping up a Zoom meeting with my manager. It had been a pretty normal meeting—project updates, upcoming deadlines, etc. Nothing emotional or personal at all. As the call was ending, she said, “Okay, talk to you soon!” and, without thinking, my brain—still in “boyfriend mode” after texting my girlfriend earlier—automatically fired back: “Love you too!”

There was a second of dead silence. Then two seconds. Then three. She didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything. I think I blacked out briefly.

I quickly ended the call and sat in my chair, staring into the void, reevaluating every life choice that led me to this moment. I messaged a friend immediately. He laughed so hard he cried. I, however, have not laughed since.

She hasn’t brought it up. But every time I see her name on my calendar, my soul dies a little.

TL;DR: My brain glitched and I accidentally told my boss I loved her. We have a follow-up meeting on Friday. Pray for me.

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 ...
