TIFU by accidentally throwing my car keys in a dumpster and canceling my date RIGHT before I found them

I’m mostly writing this to make myself feel better and distract myself from the embarrassment of my neighbors almost calling the cops on what they perceived to be a hungry, homeless person digging through the trash for food. So, today, I (19f) had a date (20m) and it was supposed to be like a cute little picnic. And I was supposed to meet his parents…

I scrubbed hard in the shower, put on my favorite perfume, brushed my teeth 2 times.

I threw on some random clothes to go clean out my car for some reason and not the one I planned for the date (THANK goodness for that) and went to clean out my car and take the laundry out from the back. In all my fervor, I realized at the very end of cleaning that I TOSSED THE KEYS IN THE APARTMENT DUMPSTER WITHOUT REALIZING IT. I panicked and immediately tried to open the trash lid to see if I could spot it. I hear a clink. Boom, it falls all the way to the bottom. I try to reach it , but I’m too short. I run upstairs and grab a stool because I’m too short to reach inside, and as I set it down, THE PLASTIC STOOL FALLS OVER BECAUSE THE CONCRETE ISN’T LEVEL AND I FALL INSIDE. I scream inside but continue looking. I eventually find the key after 15 minutes of crying, smelling like absolute shit, and calling him from inside the dumpster to cancel because I’m convinced I won’t find the key, I ended up finding it. But I scraped my finger and am now convinced I have a strain of some unknown disease. Anyways, I’ve taken another shower and swear the smell of garbage is still there so excuse me while I beat myself up, burn my clothes, and never show my face to my neighbors again.

TL;DR- I threw my keys in the trash can after a fresh shower and ended up canceling my 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 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...
