TIFU By breaking something out of fear

Well, this year I moved into a new place and it has taken a few months to get all my stuff sorted out and get new furnishings in order to settle into this new place. I lost some of my stuff during the move but that's besides the point.

A few weeks ago my friend decided to donate a couple of things to me out of good will for also helping him find a place to live. He currently is renting a room upstairs in the same house, so in return he's given me his "small" 60 inch LED smart TV since he has another bigger one somewhere in storage. The other thing he gave me was this pry-bar/crowbar thing that he uses for work since he's works as a carpenter. The thing is no more than a foot long and it's not his only one.

So, this TV has been sitting in my room for about a week now and I can't set it up at all since the original mount or stand has been lost as well. Ever since I've moved in here one of the tenants has had this problem of unwanted interlopers just walking into the house as his "guests". Beer, weed, and food have gone missing before and has prompted me to fix the lock on my bedroom door and get a mini fridge. Thankfully, the three things I've mentioned are the only things that have gone missing.

I was chilling in my room this evening when I heard a scuffle, and a loud bang shortly followed by someone saying "....fuck." I unlocked my door and opened it just a little to hear and try to see what was going on. Then I saw one of the upstairs tenants' (not my friend) sprawled out on the floor in the doorway in the room next to me in pain trying to crawl out of the room. Assuming the worst, I grabbed crowbar thingy and took a few practice swings in the air.

I swung too hard and it slipped out of my hand to hit the TV against the wall. Not worrying about that in the moment, I crept outside again to see the other roommate who also lives in the basement talking to the guy on the floor. Turns out he was just way too drunk and just ended up falling down the stairs. We helped him to his room and I returned to my room to inspect the damage. I plugged the TV in and to my dismay the entire screen was cracked. I felt so bad, and I didn't get the chance to use the damn thing and all I had to do was buy mount or stand. :'C

TL;DR I was given a TV and crowbar as a gift from a friend. Thought someone broke into the house and ended up throwing the damn thing at the TV. Only to find out that my roommate fell down the stairs drunk.

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...
