TIFU Accidentally going on a date with my cousin.

So, here me out. I'm an Arab, so I have. Like 13 and 3 quarter half million cousins. On vacation. My parents and one specific aunt is like "Oh you should get married when are you gonna get married. You should marry an Arab." Bla bla. Haha. I live in the states. I brush it off. I'll get married when I want.

There is a wedding in town who I don't know how I'm related to nor seen them before. Everyone is going, my aunt is like you should find someone at the wedding so many girls. Ehhh maybe we'll see. She then says oh how about that girl? She looks like she's 21. (I'm 33 by the way and have social anxiety a lot) Haven't really been on many dates at all. Anyway she says don't worry, it's okay if she's young, at least she'll be prettier for longer..I was like damn haha. I walked off and said, don't worry, I'll find someone myself.

Everyone is dancing and I go up and start dancing. I see this girl dancing by herself, I have no idea who she is. I go up to her, and say hi, and all that. We start dancing, fun time. The. A little later we start talking. She asks me how I'm related to the groom or bride. I'm so and so's son etc. She doesn't know who that is. Then the bride comes up to her and says hey bestie!! And says to me she's my bitch. I'm thinking she's just a friend of the bride. No relation.

We then decided to go to a bar the next day. I tell my parents I met a girl at the wedding named will say Sarah. My mom is like "Thank the Lord Jesus" haha. "Have fun"

We go to this rooftop cafe bar for our date. Long story short fun time.

Date over and we both go home. She tells her mom about the date and she asks who it is. She mentions my name which no one has my name will say John. Her mom says "WAIT, you mean John!! Like John, Sebastion's son??" She didn't know her mom knew me and then blurted out, "Girl, that's your cousin! 6th cousin, which is why you probably never met him but still girl!!!"

In my culture, drama spreads FAST! The next morning, my mom wakes me up and is like you went on a date with Sarah?!

Anyway, everyone of my cousins found out and every family we visited on our trip was talking about it. That was fun... not.

TL;DR went out with my cousin not knowing she was my cousin. Everyone found out and drama ensued.

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...
