TIFU Ruining story time

I took the day off to take care of something with my new car. It took 10 minutes of my time and for reasons I didn't want to go home and any excuse to drive it a little sounded good to me. I had the bright idea of going to Barnes and Nobles as if my backlog of books I haven't gotten to isn't long enough. As I started getting closer and felt the need to pee. By the time I got there the need was pretty strong, so I walked in and made a bee line to the restroom. I noticed the restroom didn't have a door on the way in but its not like anyone can see anything from the outside. I took care of what I needed to do and stepped out.

As I was browsing I noticed a surprising number of well behaved children running around. I am glad to see children hanging out in bookstores. Eventually I hear an announcement for story time, all the children I see go over to that section. Well, that explains it. I continue shopping, and then it happens. I need to go, NOW! I have had colon cancer and 2/3rds of my colon has been removed. I never really know what I am in for. I think about it, there is no door and I can't make it home. I could go try to find another one but that option is dangerous. I make a plan, race in, do what I need to and race out and pray its quiet. I have no idea what I ate to cause that, OMG. Fortunately it was quiet, I finish up and hurry to the register before the smell escapes. As I head out of the restroom, I see the children's section right by the bathroom. I just bombed the fuck out of story time. I feel so bad and I can never show my face in there again. To the people of the Silverdale B&N, I am so sorry and please fix that door.

TL;DR, I gassed out innocent children listening to story

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...
