TIFU By being cheap while going hiking on a first date

This actually happened New Years Eve and, honestly was a fitting end to the year.

I'm 31m, matched with a beautiful 35f on one of the apps and somehow convinced her to come on a hike with my dog and I. Now my dog is adorable, will draw you right in with her big brown eyes and cute little eyebrows but has an endless motor. She doesn't get tired, and gets upset if we don't walk fast enough (foreshadowing).

First mistake was deciding to meet in a nearby county park to avoid the fees. Second mistake was decididing to going down a 35-40ft grade 3, maybe grade 4 leafy hillside where she slid down 90% of it on her butt within the first 20 minutes. We found out on the way back (I know, she kept going), that we missed a small left turn about 50 yards before the hillside.

We spent the next 30ish minutes engaging in decent conversation, I notice she's not asking me a ton of questions in return but I obliviously just chalk it up to her being nervous. I'm an idiot.

Third mistake was bringing my dog. Adorable, but can be an absolute hellhound. We weren't going fast enough for her liking, as I kept the pace slower than normal so I didn't leave this poor girl behind in the woods. Dog starts barking, non stop, for what feels like an hour. It wasn't, maybe 10 minutes but holy shit. Holding a conversation with a pissed off 70lbs spoiled queen on the end of a leash was painful.

Fourth mistake, because why learn from your first - to avoid paying to walk back into the big park, we went back off trail, down another leafy hillside to a trail. I asked her like 5 times if she wanted to, and she said it was fine. It wasn't as steep as the first one, but she slid down her butt again for most of it.

Oh and she may have had an accident at this park in the past.

She said she just wanted to be friends when I asked for a second date (I don't think a lot), and unmatched me on the app. Can't blame her tbh.

TL;DR: Took a girl for a hike with my dog, cheaped out on parking. Had her sliding down hills off trail on her butt... twice. Dog wouldn't stop barking because we weren't walking fast enough. I was dumb enough to ask for a second date.

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 ...
