TIFU by spending 4 hours deep cleaning my car to sell it for rent money just or a pipe to burst in my garage and destroy it

honestly i am just so done with today and i feel like the universe is literally laughing at me at this point. i have been struggling with my finances for a while now and i finally made the hard decision to sell my car because i really need the money for my rent and some bills that have been piling up. i spent my whole afternoon scrubbing every single corner of that car. i mean i was out there with a toothbrush cleaning the air vents and everything. i wanted it to look brand new so the buyer wouldn't have any reason to try and talk me down on the price.

i finally finish around 7pm and the car looks incredible. i park it in its usual spot in the garage and go inside to finally get a shower and relax. not even ten minutes into my shower i hear this absolutely massive crash from the garage. i literally jumped out of the shower and ran out there in my towel because i thought someone had crashed into the building or something.

come to find out a major pipe in the ceiling right above my car decided that today was the day it wanted to give up on life. the ceiling is completely gone and my car is buried under a mountain of wet drywall and this disgusting rusty brown water sludge. the inside was a bit open too because i was letting the leather cleaner dry out. it is a complete disaster and there is no way i can fix this in time. the buyer is literally supposed to be here at 8am tomorrow morning and i have no idea what to even tell them. i actually want to cry lol.

TL,DR: i spent four hours deep cleaning my car to sell it so i could pay my rent but then a pipe burst in my garage and covered the whole thing in rusty sludge and drywall right before the buyer was supposed to show up.

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 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 ...
