TIFU by eating beef jerky

TIFU by responding to the "what are we" question with "we are Charlie Kirk."

I (26F) have recently started to get closer to a colleague, who I will give the fake name of Josh. Josh(26M) and I don't work together, but we work in the same field and run into one another frequently. We started to get lunch together more often and would schedule group activities with other mutual friends. Around the time Josh and I started to get really close, I had just ended things with my long term partner following us failing to make our relationship work after he betrayed my trust a few months earlier. All of this is to say, I was not ready for a new relationship. I made this very clear to Josh after we drunkenly kissed one night.

We continued to get closer and our friendship turned physical. We both very clearly had feelings for one another, but I still did not yet want to jump into a new relationship. I told him I needed some time to be by myself, but also admitted I didn't want to see anyone else at the moment. He told me he wasn't seeing anyone else either. I told him I wouldn't mind if he wanted to see other people while I take my time to sort my feelings out. We end on agreeing that this wasn't "exclusive" but both of us noted that we didn't really want to see anyone else.

A week or so passes.

We're making out, things are about to escalate, but there's an awkward tension. He pulls away and asks "what are we?"

I am admittedly a little bit under the influence.

I panic because I really like this guy and can see us eventually being together, but also, I feel like we just had this conversation a week ago.

I blurt out, in song "we are Charlie Kirk."

He looks at me like I'm the dumbest person he's ever met in his life.

We went back to making out.

TL;DR: I was making out with a man I'm kind of crazy for. He stops to have a relationship defining conversation and I feel it's premature, but I'm too stoned and stupid to respond correctly and it leads to me responding with a meme.

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...
