TIFU by not checking the ingredients of what I was cooking

My mom is Hindu and thinks eating beef is the worst thing you could do but not just eating it, having it in the house or having anything touch it. I was cooking shin ramyun today and didn't know it had beef in it, my mom came to the kitchen and asked if there was chicken in it because she doesn't eat chicken either. I told her I don't know and she started reading the ingredients on the package and saw beef extract on it and then started tearing up. I realized I fucked up when she showed me and started absolutely bawling like I mean in hysterics. She locked her herself in her room and I started cleaning everything, threw out the rest of the ramen packs, even sprayed down the place in the pantry the packets were. She came out and she was calmer but acted how people do in deep grief, she told me to throw away the pot and fork I made it with and to spray lysol everywhere in the kitchen. She also said she wasn't going to eat for 14 days to repent for it. In the past she's said if I touched beef I couldn't do the rituals after her death which is a problem because I'm the only child, and now I think she genuinely doesn't see me the same way. I know with any sort of food restriction you need to check ingredient lists carefully but it genuinely slipped my mind when I bought it I just wanted to try out new instant noodles. I wish I checked smh.

TL;DR: I cooked something with beef in my deeply Hindu household and my mom is devastated.

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 ...
