TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU breaking into an AirBNB and scaring the lodgers

This happened about 4 years ago, but it still haunts me.

Me and the GF went on a trip with our dogs- remote area, very few good lodging options for dogs.

We found one, checked in, all was well, it was a multi-apartment building. I went out for a smoke and left the key inside, and my gf followed me out a few minutes later- the door latched shut and it was locked. Luckily our dogs were out there with us.

We called the host- they were out of town, but luckily told us where THEIR key was, to get into THEIR apartment and get our spare key- did the thing, key didn't work. Then the host says "Hey, on the window by the door, there's a window AC unit- GO ahead and try to get in that way.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize the AC to the right of our door was the other apartment, Our AC was around the side on the left. So, it's 10:30PM, and I'm trying to get into the apartment via the window AC and I then realize it was the wrong apartment. I gave up, we decided to sleep in the car. About 20 minutes later, the lodgers next to us basically RUN to their car, get in and dip as fast as I've ever seen, around 11pm.

100% they thought I was just some asshole looking to ruin their night, and I was just trying to follow instructions.

The next morning, I found OUR A/C unit, took me 10 seconds to pop it out, get in, unlock the door and start packing for our departure.

So, If you were lodging in the UP like 4 years ago, my deepest apologies, it was a stressful night for us, but I can't imagine the horror of that from your perspective.

TL;DR: Tried to break into the nightly-rented apartment next to us around midnight, in the middle of the woods.

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...
