TIFU by asking my best girlfriend's dad out.

I've had the biggest crush on my friend's dad for what feels like forever, and yes, I already know how bad that sounds.

He's been divorced for a few years, and every time I've been over at my friend's house, I've secretly thought he was ridiculously attractive. Not just because of how he looks, but because he's funny, easy to talk to, and has that calm, mature energy that's honestly way more attractive to me than guys my age.

A few days ago I bumped into him while I was out shopping. We ended up sitting down for coffee, and I swear we talked for almost two hours without it ever feeling awkward. When I left, I couldn't stop smiling. That conversation was replaying in my head for days, and I convinced myself maybe there was something there.

So... I did something incredibly stupid.

I messaged him on Instagram. I told him he looked really good in one of his recent photos and asked if he'd like to go out to dinner sometime. He replied saying that sounded nice and suggested we invite my friend too.

That's when it hit me that he thought I meant as family friends.

I should've just left it there.

Instead, after spending half the night overthinking it (and after a little liquid courage), I sent another message saying I actually meant a real date. Like... just him and me.

He didn't answer until today.

He was honestly as kind as he could've been. He thanked me for being honest, said he was flattered, but told me he wasn't interested and that I deserved someone closer to my own age. He also said he hoped this wouldn't make things awkward.

Unfortunately... it absolutely has.

Now I'm sitting here dying of embarrassment because I have no idea if he's told my friend. Every notification on my phone makes my heart drop, and I genuinely don't know how I'm supposed to act the next time I see either of them.

TL;DR: I convinced myself my friend's dad might like me back, confessed my crush, and got politely rejected. Now I want to disappear.

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...

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 ...
