TIFU by not looking at my seasonings

So earlier tonight I was eating a delicious roll with my dinner, and I thought it would be nice to put some butter and sprinkle some za’atar on top! If you haven’t had it before, it’s like a blend of herbs and sesame seeds, it’s a little tart and herby. Delicious on a roll with butter/olive oil.

I go pull it out from the pantry, and note that it’s been a while since I last used it. I pop it open, spread a generous slab of butter on my roll and sprinkle some on top. Then I sit down with my roll, and go back to scrolling on my phone as I start munching.

As I’m sitting there, a couple bites in, suddenly something catches my eye…. Some movement. Something. Something moving in the za’atar. I watch with growing horror as what must be hundreds of tiny little mites move slowly across the zaatar.

I stare for a couple seconds, frozen, and slowly look at my roll. Now, luckily, I seem to have avoided sprinkling pure bugs on my roll since I don’t see anything moving. But keep in mind, this is several bites in, and there was butter involved too. So… I definitely ate bugs.

Like, several many tiny little bugs. On butter, on my roll, so many bugs, chewing them up and eating them and I ate bugs.

TLDR; Didn’t look close enough at old spice mix before putting it on my food, ate half before noticing.

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
