TIFU (traumatic) tryna look cool in front of my gf

r/

So basically, I was coming back home from my cricket session (it’s a sport kinda like baseball, for the uninitiated), riding my bike with my entire cricket kit strapped behind me. It was around 6 PM, and I had a pretty solid session at the club, so I was feeling good.As I entered my neighbourhood, I saw my girlfriend standing on her balcony, just casually staring at me. And I’m deep in love with her, so naturally, I got all excited and thought, “Alright, time to look cool.”

So I started doing a wheelie… yes, with the entire cricket kit on my bike. While keeping full eye contact with her, expecting some dreamy reaction. But fate had other plans.

Just as I reached the turn—right in front of her house, mind you—a wild milkman appeared out of nowhere (yes, we have milkmen in India, if you’re wondering), and boom… I rode straight into his ass. Like full-speed collision.

The milkman fell. and milk splashed everywhere. I swear it looked like a milk-themed swimming pool. We were both lying there, basically swimming in dairy.

To make it worse, the milkman went and complained to my grandfather. But my grandpa, absolute legend, didn’t really care. He just checked on me to make sure I was okay. I’ve got some minor injuries, but nothing too serious.

But now my girlfriend is traumatised. She came running to check on me—yeah, she cares—but I’m sitting in my room right now, completely embarrassed. I don’t think I can show my face to half my friends or anyone in the neighbourhood for a while.

TL;DR:
Tried to impress my girlfriend by doing a wheelie on my bike after cricket practice, with my full kit on. Crashed into a milkman right in front of her house, spilled milk everywhere, looked like a dairy disaster. Grandpa didn’t care, girlfriend was shocked, now I’m hiding in my room embarrassed. Still alive, slightly injured, majorly humbled.

    Dude lol, shit happens. The actual important thing is how you resolve it. Bring an excuse to the milkman, and learn from the stupidity. Talk with your gf

    Best thing you can do right now is apologize profusely to the milkman and offer to pay for damages. It was an honest, albeit stupid mistake, and these things happen. I’m not very familiar with your culture so I don’t have much advice beyond this, but I wish you the best of luck!
