TIFU by being polite to my ex’s friend

I work at a bank and today I noticed one of my ex’s friends was at one of the tellers. We ended on good terms and I always got along with his friends but like I only saw them when I was with him. He didn’t notice me so I could have walked away to my office but I decided to be nice and say hi and chat a little. He asked why they haven’t seen me since ex left….. and then said they all miss me, and his wife asks about me sometimes. I said I feel like it’d be weird to see them without ex/now that he’s gone (he moved out of province) and he said it wouldn’t be. The said we should all get dinner sometime soon and I said sure we could do that. Then he said … “promise?” So I had to promise.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of them but I know it will be awkward for me as I always felt awkward when I was around them when ex was with me. We don’t have a lot in common but they are all super friendly people.

Now I have to have dinner with them sometime and I don’t even have money to go out to eat 😭

EDIT: I do have money technically to go out to eat but I’m hard on the budget and don’t go out to eat. If I said I don’t have the money/the budget they would offer to pay for me which would make me feel more guilty so there really was no winning here without being an ass

TLDR I was polite to my ex’s friend and now I have to get dinner with his whole friend group

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 ...
