TIFU I tried to look productive at work and accidentally exposed that i’ve been doing absolutely nothing for weeks

so my supervisor shows up out of nowhere last night and i swear i felt my brain just short out like i dont even remember exactly what i was watching on my phone, some dumb youtube vid about elden ring builds or whatever, but i just shoved it in my pocket and grabbed the nearest clipboard like that was gonna magically turn me into an employee of the month or something, and im walking fast like way too fast through aisles pretending im busy, nodding at boxes like yeah this one is definitely a box good job everyone, and then ofc he notices me because im acting like a lunatic and he comes up and is like what are you working on and instead of saying literally anything normal i go yeah just verifying discrepancies in section c, i dont even know why i said section c we dont even label stuff like that im pretty sure, and he pauses like i just told him the sky is green and goes which discrepancies and i kinda freeze but also not really i just start talking and say the delayed ones?? like that means anything, and now im stuck because he says show me so now im leading this guy deeper into the warehouse like i have a plan when i absolutely do not, im just picking a direction and hoping something will appear, and i stop at this random shelf and start pointing at boxes and hes scanning them and goes everything here is fine and i panic and go yeah thats what’s weird which in my head sounded smart but out loud just sounded insane, and then he asks who assigned me this and i say night manager which immediately felt wrong as soon as it left my mouth because we literally dont have one, like why did i think that would work, and he just looks at me like not even mad just tired and takes the clipboard and its literally blank paper like i didnt even check first just empty sheets like im cosplaying work, and he sighs and asks what i actually do and i just kinda shrug and go honestly not much after midnight because at that point what am i even saving, so now i have this meeting about “role clarity” and imo thats just corporate for we caught you doing nothing and now we have to pretend this is a process thing, TL;DR: TBH i feel like if i had just sat behind the boxes like usual and ate my offbrand pringles none of this would have happened but nooo i had to try and be productive for 5 minutes and completely screw myself, A thinking this is partly his fault for caring too much lol, idk man im probably done here

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
