TIFU by mouthing “I hate you” at a homeless man

I wanna preface this by saying I would never do this intentionally and it continues to haunt me although it actually happened weeks ago. I have come to confess my (extremely unintentional) sin.

I was driving to work one morning recently. There’s a turn i make at a light and there are often homeless people hanging out near this intersection, and often they will walk up and down the line of cars with their signs or offering to wash windows. Sometimes I’ll buy them food nearby or give them some cash, but if I have nothing to offer and they look my way, i at least look people in the eyes, smile, and acknowledge their presence.

On this morning, a man I hadn’t met before walked next to my car and looked in. I turned and smiled and waved as he passed. We locked eyes for a moment per usual. However, at that very moment, the song “Doses and Mimosas” by Cherub was blasting on my cars stereo, and I had been singing along, as it is one of my faves.

Unfortunately, at the moment we locked eyes, as I smiled at this man, I was absentmindedly singing the line that goes “oh yeah I hate you too” as it played.

The light turned green and I realized what I’d done as I rolled forward, but it was too late to roll down my window and say “NO OH GOD SORRY I DONT HATE YOU” and I am not sure he would have believed me anyway.

TL, DR: I accidentally continued singing a song, specifically the line that says “oh yeah, I hate you too” while attempting to respectfully greet a homeless man and ended up accidentally mouthing those words at him through my closed car window.

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 ...
