TIFU by almost causing a car accident this morning going out to lunch

I 23(M) almost caused a car accident this morning. I was out of class and decided to head to a nearby chain taco joint by my college. When I was on my way I was about to pull into the parking lot. I was looking and turning left when all of a sudden another car that came out of my blind spot and almost ran into me. I immediately felt terrible because I should have checked more carefully. I could tell the lady in the car was extremely pissed off as she was yelling within her car. I went to park and she rolled behind me and laid on her horn for a minute and then walked up to my door. I opened up my driver door and was flamed about how she has a two year-old in the back of her car. That was really all she was yelling about was just the fact she has a baby in her car. Like I said I felt responsible and terrible, and I profusely apologized and claimed responsibility. She kept going on about her two year-old in the back of her car, which at this point I was already done. She then went back to her car and I told her have a good rest of her day (a prick move but I naturally end conversations like that and was still in shock so I didn't really think that through). I still feel terrible about it and I can't stop kicking myself for it.

But I still am thinking about whether if what she did was right. What if I was a crazy person with no control of their emotions and decided to attack her back? I don't know, all I know is what I did was wrong and became a better driver the wrong way.

TL;DR: Almost caused an accident while turning left into a parking lot. Pissed off lady parked behind me to grill me out. Felt terrible during and after said almost accident.

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 ...
