Welcome to TIFU.

This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet!

Da Rules:

  1. Use proper formatting

A. All titles must start with TIFU.

B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry.

C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn't Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.)

  1. Posts must be about you.

  2. Must be your fault.

  3. A few things that aren't allowed.

A. No Rape​/​minors/​bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes.

B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal.

  1. Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don't go anywhere. Eg "TIFU by sexy sex". Moderator discretion.

  2. Be civil and don't be disruptive No racism/​bigotry/​homophobia/​transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort "this didn't happen" type comments.

  3. No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of "upvote this comment if you want me to do this." These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don't self promote.

  4. Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this community.

I had just finished blasting a 06:15 gym class and was absolutely exhausted. For some reason, I thought its a good idea to mention it's my birthday this week and immediately my PT stops and he has a certain look on his face. My PT is a lovely guy, but he's up for a bit of banter. He asks me if I've ever heard of Birthday Burpees. I say no, and he asks if I'm down for a challenge.

I'm writing this 50 Burpees later (rounded and doubled for my age because "he likes round numbers), lying on the floor struggling to type because of the sweat.

God I'm unfit :)

TL;DR Don't say yes to birthday burpees

Those are the best, we always did birthday-challenges! Often 2x your amount as pushups and 1x as pull-ups. Or you'd count congratulations and do one for every!

Challenge: reach 50 and be able to do birthday burpees with nothing more than a shrug :)
