TIFU by accidentally spending my emergency fund on what I thought was a "great deal"

I've been pretty good about saving money lately, had about $800 set aside for emergencies which felt pretty solid for me. I was scrolling Facebook marketplace when I saw this "amazing deal" on a gaming setup. The guy was selling his whole rig plus monitor for $600 and it looked legit in the photos.

Long story short I got way too excited and transferred the money immediately without thinking. Met up with the dude at some parking lot and the second I saw the setup I knew I fucked up. The "gaming computer" was basically a 10 year old office PC with a fancy looking case, and the monitor had a huge crack down the middle that somehow wasn't visible in any of his photos.

When I asked about returning it he just shrugged and said "all sales final bro" then drove off. I stood there in that parking lot holding a broken monitor feeling like the biggest idiot on earth.

The worst part is that my car started making weird noises literally 3 days later and now I actually need that emergency money I just blew on electronic garbage. My mechanic wants $400 just to look at it.

So yeah, apparently I'm the type of person who throws away months of careful budgeting because I see something shiny on the internet. Learn from my stupidity people.

tl:dr Thought im getting a deal for a gaming pc but I ended up buying a cheap performance LED machine

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...
