TIFU by using my shower playlist as my work meeting mic

So I work from home in a tiny apartment and my favorite thing in the morning is a stupidly loud shower playlist on a bluetooth speaker. Yesterday I had a recurring check in with my team at 9, camera optional, so I figured I’d just join on my laptop muted, start the meeting, then hop in the shower real quick while they went over some boring metrics. I checked twice that I was muted, grabbed my towel, music already playing from my phone. About five minutes in I notice the music sounds kind of weird, like it is echoing, but I ignore it and start belting along to some truly cursed early 2000s pop, adding my own horrible adlibs. When I get out, my phone is full of Teams notifications and one DM from my manager that just says “you are not on mute”. Turns out my phone had decided to connect as an audio source to the meeting, overriding the laptop, so the entire team listened to me doing a private concert plus very unflattering commentary about the project while I thought I was alone. They renamed the meeting series to “karaoke sync”. TL;DR joined a call muted on my laptop, phone stole the mic and I gave my whole team a naked concert.

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 ...
