TIFU by using eyeliner on my body

TIFU by accidentally cat calling my neighbor

I live in the upper unit of a duplex that’s on a hill. So my front door looks out one direction, their front door looks the other way and about 1/3 of their house is underground because of the hill. I have a nice little side porch which happens to be over their side door/patio where they store their trash and recycling bins.

Keep in mind that from the porch, I cannot see their patio unless I am deliberately looking down over that part of the porch.

I have a cat, a perfect baby angel, who is indoor/outdoor. He will chill on the porch so I periodically check if he wants to come in or if he’s just vibing. It is important to note that I really really love my cat.

So anyways today I opened the door to check on him. It’s a beautiful day, warm but not boiling, sun is shining and a lovely breeze. My cat is relaxing in a position best deserved as shavasana (belly up, big stretch - getting the tummy sunshine he needs to charge). I open the door and say (slightly above normal speaking volume) “oh you’re so handsome. I’mma touch that lil tum tum.”

I approach my cat - ready for belly rubs, when movement in my peripheral vision stops me. It is the neighbor on his patio, looking at me with mild concern. I apologized and explained it was meant for my cat. No major consequences beyond extreme embarrassment.

So TL;DR I quite literally cat called my neighbor by talking to my cat

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
