TIFU By not knowing I'm a Goofy Goober from Spongebob was based on an actual song

I was at a party/gathering, I knew some people there but I didn't know a lot of people there since I was invited by some friends. People were playing music on a speaker and eventually one of the songs that pop up is this old song called I want to rock. As it played, I started realizing how similar it was to I'm a Goofy Goober from the Spongebob movie. I said to some friends (now realizing way too loudly), "Is this just the song from the Spongebob movie?" My friends and people around us started laughing at my comment. My friends loudly explained that I'm a Goofy Goober wasn't an orignal song and parodying an old song. As they explained this just allowed more and more people to hear the conversation and break into laugher. Embarrassing.

In fairness, I don't listen to music that much and legitmently I'm unaware a popular song even exists until I hear it in a movie or some other context. Like obviously All Star, Holding out for a Hero, Live and Let Die, I know as songs from Shrek. The Immigrant Song and Guns & Roses, I know as songs from Thor. A ton of songs I refer to as songs from Guardians of the Galaxy. I remember when they were advertising that new knew Lilo and Stitch movie, all the ads kept playing this song going "Stitch. Is. Back. All right!" I remember thinking, huh that's pretty catchy. Just found out that was from an actual song.

TL;DR I embarassed myself by not know I'm a Goofy Goober was parody

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...
