TIFU: By getting arrested over a speeding ticket warrant.

So, a few weeks ago, I went on a road trip.

I’m driving on a highway, going the speed limit, and eventually get to a small town where I stop for a meal. That town is a 30-minute drive from where I live.
I eat a nice steak and decide to get back on the road. I start driving, and I see blue lights behind me. The officer pulls me over for failing to use my turn signal (oops). He asks me for my driver’s license and registration, and I hand them over. He comes back and tells me, “There’s a warrant for your arrest for not showing up to court.” I’m puzzled and ask him what the warrant is for. He says he doesn’t know and that I have to get out of the car. I get out, he handcuffs me, and takes me to the local jail.

I’m not allowed to bond out, as my county (where the warrant is) requires an in-person appearance. I am made to strip naked and change into a jail jumpsuit. They take my mugshot and fingerprints. Since it was a Friday night, I have to spend three nights there. I am held in a cell by myself. There’s only a small window, which is blurred out so I can’t see through it. The toilet and sink are connected into a single metal construction. There’s a small table, a small chair, and a small shelf, all made of metal. During the day, I’m allowed in the common area where there were about 15 women. The meals weren’t that bad.

Monday finally comes, and they shackle me and take me to my county. At the courthouse, I wait in a holding cell for about two hours before it’s my turn. I explain to the judge that I just made a mistake and forgot to pay my speeding ticket. The judge sets a bond, which I pay, and I also take care of the speeding ticket.

TL;DR:
I forgot to pay a speeding ticket, got arrested over it, spent 3 nights in jail until I was released on bond, and then took care of the ticket.

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...
