TIFU by throwing out potentially sensitive documents

Today was garbage day, and as I was getting ready to toss out the rest of it this morning, I noticed a small stack of mail sitting on the floor. It was early and I was in a mild rush to go to work, and we get a lot of junk mail and mail for people who no longer live here, so I tossed them out without a second thought.

I come home and my mom is *fuming*. Apparently she was saving that mail for later because that pile was full of personal information, including a new credit card. I don't fucking know why she *left it on the floor* since we typically toss junk mail there, but as she asserts, I should have taken the time to actually look at the mail, and frankly I don't know what to say to that.

My mom's always been very protective of her personal information, and I've just compromised it. There's nothing I feel like I can do to mend this situation. At best she admitted partial fault, but she largely blames it on me.

Our relationship, at least for me, feels strained these days due to a lot of mistakes on my part (I'm generally forgetful and, evidently, absentminded, no matter how hard I try, because it only takes one fuck up for her to believe that I'm always irresponsible), and now I almost feel like my days are numbered, especially if something terrible happens. Even if the chances are low, I don't think she'll ever forgive me.

TL;DR I unknowingly threw out mail with my mom's personal information on it, and now she's pissed and potentially at risk

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 ...
