TIFU: gaslighting, subway, tears, puke lol

I stepped in dog poop on the way to the subway. It was so bad. I was super late though and didn’t even TRY AT ALL to get it off on the street or the grass or anything at all. The smell was….. horrendous. I was on my way to a shoot for a video I was about to be in…. I had to rush and was already so late!!!! I sat next to a woman and accidentally stepped on her bag’s belt that was dragging on the ground. When I stepped on it…. The poop …. Yea… it got on it completely. She smelled something RIGHT AWAY and asked me if I had spilled something. I said “no. I think you stepped in dog shit” and pointed to her belt. She fell silent and I turned beat red. There was a long pause.

She looked down at my shoes and started saying “I don’t think so. I think your boot has something on it.” To which I denied and said NOPE NOPE NOPE.

This woman, freaking GRABS her belt off of the ground, touches the poop onto her finger, brings it to her nose, smells it, and then sticks her finger out to me to smell.. MIND YOU we are on a public subway with people everywhere in NYC!!!!!! I finally break and say “it’s dog sh***”

AS IF SHE DIDNT ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT WAS?!? She freaks out and starts to cry. She wipes her fingers on her COAT and starts to gag in front her of me. She proceeds to baby puke on herself and me. Others recorded around us. The entire interaction is somewhere on YouTube. I took the next stop even though it wasn’t mine. I had another 30 min on the train. Someone chuckled as I got off. I know for a fact that it’s because they knew that I gaslit the hell out of this lady only to have the whole thing blow up even worse on me.

TLDR: Even small white lies can web and royally screw you. You’ll walk away with poop and throw up. And tears. All on you. At the same time.

Am I a bad bad person for starting all this? 😭

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 ...
