TIFU: Might’ve really fucked up an interview

Had an interview for a job today, decent amount of hours, the pay is awful, still kinda need it nonetheless. For a little context I’m 20 and it’s probably my third interview ever since i had a job that I got first try and kept it for a couple of years. Anyways it’s going well, albeit weird questions like asking if I’ve dealt with screaming children before? I thought it was really strange but still the interview was going pretty well.

So firstly I make up a time about in my old job how i did have some kid that was upset (I didn’t at all) because idk I felt pressured to say yes in a sense. I worked in a bank, it was pretty much only old people that came in asking how to withdraw money etc. Probably a bad annecdote I used since I just bullshitted on the spot.

Next question comes and it’s a time I’ve helped someone. Now Im not a bad guy by any means but Im hardly perfect, so I dont help people out very often, not that Id say no if they did. My mind immediately thinks to when someone close to me passed away and I blurt out that I helped my friend through it and it really sours the mood, so much so that they just move on to the next question after writing a couple of words, all while acting completely normal as if I didn’t just say that to someone on the first time meeting them. Im probably not getting that job but oh well lol.

TL;DR Had a job interview and made up a time i had to deal with screaming children (i did not at all) so probably messed up that question, next Im asked about how i’ve helped someone in the past- immediately think of someone I knew who died and blurt out I helped someone through it and immediately ruins the mood and the question, probably failing the interview from what i can tell

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...
