TIFU by coming out to my family

Technically not today (sorry), but last weekend I finally came out to my family at the age of 21. My whole immediate family were there, including some aunts and uncles. As with most families, a lot of relatives and siblings were a little upset and the others were supportive, about what I expected.

Fast-forward a couple days, my uncle (Kevin), who I rarely talk to, messages me on WhatsApp’s. He’s not my real uncle, but he’s been in the family since I was a baby so that’s all I’m used to calling him.

We started talking about the usual stuff about life, such as work, relationships, etc. Then in the middle of the conversation, out of nowhere, my uncle soft launches that he is bisexual. That wasn’t even the craziest part…

He then asks me if I would be interested in having a MMM with him and a friend he met online.

I held my phone in disbelief, like I just saw someone delete my 15 year Minecraft server right before my eyes. I lost my appetite and couldn’t eat anything for a good 12 hours. I’m still a little nauseous from it tbh. I haven’t responded to Kevin for 3 days and left him on read. Now I’m not sure what to do at this point.

Do I tell my parents or never bring it up and play it cool? He went to school with my dad and they have known each other since 4th grade. I don’t want to ruin the relationship that they have. But something definitely feels wrong and I don’t think anything will ever be the same.

TL;DR: My coming out story turned into my uncle asking me for a threesome, now my dad’s longest friendship is in jeopardy.

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...
