TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by forgetting I had a Pi-Hole

Obligatory “this actually happened like 3 years ago”.

I hit it off with a girl on a dating app. We went on a date and she seemed legitimately interested in me. The vibes were fantastic. She mentioned enjoying anime and manga, same as I do. When I was at home and we were texting, I recommended some random older manga that I really enjoyed and she asked where she could read it. So I googled around and came across an only mildly sketchy site where one could read it for free. I copied the URL and sent it to her.

She sent me a curt “what the fuck did you just send me?” text and I was baffled. It was a brief loop of “what are you talking about”, “this is fucking disgusting”, “I mean, I guess it’s a little on the darker side, but it’s a horror series, just keep reading”, “why the fuck would you think this was okay to send to me?” And then she unmatched and blocked me. I opened up the link again and it was fine. I had no idea what’d happened.

When I was having lunch with a friend and was venting to him about this, I pulled up the text conversation and clicked the link. I immediately realized what’d happened.

At the time, I had a Pi-Hole set up, a Raspberry Pi that acted as a network-level ad-blocker. When I had originally opened the link while connected to my home network, it just showed all the pages for chapter one and not a single ad. What I did not realize was that the Pi-Hole was holding back an incredible quantity of anime porn advertisements and videos. When later accessing the site on cellular data, I would be greeted with Bulma from Dragonball getting viciously viscerally viscously creampied by Bart Simpson. Closing that ad would show a clip depicting a “actually 1000 year old dragon in a very not 1000 year old girl’s body” doing… things. And some of the ads were even worse, depicting animated things of an even more questionable legal nature. It was sorta impossible to access the underlying site without closing 30 ads first.

It made perfect sense that she would unmatch someone that would send that to her after one date and act like it was fine.

TL;DR: My ad blocker kept me from realizing that the link I was sending to someone I’d go on one date with was filled with horrific hardcore anime porn. She unmatched and blocked me.

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...
