Today I Fucked Up
r/tifu
Hello all! I’m on mobile, so excuse the formatting.
I (20 F) am a huge Legend of Zelda fan, so when the new game was announced I was ecstatic. When May 11th finally came I rushed from work early, a coffee shop, with drinks in hand for my friends and I to wait until midnight release. We went over to our lovely GameStop early, and in one swig I chugged my iced coffee on an empty stomach.
The excitement was really, truly starting to build within me as my friends and I waited for the games release. I just needed them for emotional support because I knew I would start crying in a moments notice. However, I realized that coffee wasn’t sitting right. I just blamed it on the excitement and the amount of sugar I had consumed. When we were allowed inside, I realized the led lights within the store seemed a bit too bright. I was starting to feel cold and clammy as well. I, again, chalked it up to my excitement. My heart was pounding and I was absolutely buzzing to get my hands on this game and go ham in my dark basement.
That’s when my body gave me the signal. The “oh no” signal, when all the blood rushes from my head to my stomach and I start salivating. I looked at my friend in horror, as GameStop doesn’t have a bathroom, and shoved my purse in her hands. I took my car keys and ran out the door, the nearest bathroom a gas station down the road. It was too late, however, as I went to get into my car disaster struck. I gagged.
I could feel the excitement and the coffee coming up and so I did the only thing I could do. I hid behind my car, kneeled down and puked. I took a moment to take a breath and vomited again, looking up to see headlights directly in my eyes. I awkwardly waved as this person proceeds to park right next to my car, and my spit up. I slowly stood, realizing I had gotten vomit on my knee, and waddled into my car. I sat there and contemplated whether or not to go back inside after I had just literally puked my guts out from being so excited. But! With my body feeling much better after the release of emotions, I hopped in and realized my friend who had parked beside me also was inside. And he did NOT want to be near me.
The employees heard what happened and thought it was hilarious. My friends took a picture of me next to the vomit with my game in hand.
I start my first shift at that GameStop today, lol.
TLDR: Got so excited for the TOTK release I puked in the parking lot. Twice.
Edit: since everyone wants to see it… here’s the picture spit-up selfie
