TIFU by clogging my new friend’s toilet and possibly messing it up I (19F) was hanging out at my new friend Macy’s (18F) house. We have a college art class together where we meet on Tuesdays to critique homework we did over the weekend, then get new homework on Thursday and repeat. This time we had to draw peppers. I didn’t want to buy peppers I wasn’t going to use, so I went to her house to do the assignment. Her boyfriend Jay (around 22M I think) was also there. Quick note: I’m really bad at writing, so I originally talked this whole story into a notes app and used ChatGPT to help format it. The story itself is mine. We were just sitting, talking, working on the assignment. At some point I asked Macy specifically which bathroom would be best for pooping. She kind of giggled and was like, “Uh… all of them I guess,” and pointed me to one. I go in, do my business, and it was… a large situation. I thought about asking her for a plastic knife, but I was like no, that’s embarrassing, ...

This memory comes back to haunt me every once in a while, so I thought maybe someone else would find joy in it. Last Christmas, I (22F at that time) attended the holiday party of the company I work for, which was at a local bar. I had been with for a year at that time, and I was doing my best to talk to my coworkers and form some friendships. Because of my role, I tend to only really talk to a handful of people in the company, and I struggle talking to new people because I’m not a bubbly or outgoing person. I don’t have social anxiety, I just prefer observing; I’ve always been described as quiet. But I’ve been trying to expand my circle of friends. I ended up standing in a group with the one girl at my work that I do have some sort of a significant friendship with and some people I’ve visually deemed as ‘cool’ but never actually talked to. I was enjoying listening and nodding along to the conversation, and I heard this really cool woman (probably mid 30’s with a lot of awesome tatto...

This actually happened last night, but I'm still fairly upset about it. I was picking up my son from high school yesterday around 3:30 pm. As we were heading to get my daughter from work, my son said he was hungry and wanted to stop at McDonald's for some nuggets. When we got there, he willingly decided he would buy everyone an early dinner, his treat. He bought burgers, fries, drinks and nuggets for 4 people. It was a nice thing for him to do. The problem was, earlier that morning, I had my husband put meatballs and spaghetti sauce in the crockpot to use with the spaghetti noodles I would cook when we came home from work and school. I had completely forgotten about it. Spaghetti and meatballs is also this son's absolute favorite meal. I didn't remember at all until we walked thru the door and we could smell the food cooking. I felt awful for letting him spend money on something we didn't need since we had not only dinner cooking, but his favorite meal almost re...

TIFU bad. Woke up this morning feeling great and ready to start my day. took my morning medicine with the rest of a plastic water bottle that was next to my bed and decided i needed more water so i grabbed my water bottle with a straw. BIG MISTAKE. I take a big sip and boom I feel something moving in my mouth, I immediately spit it it out to see a big spider that was previously in my straw and now mouth. It runs around my bed as I am having an absolute meltdown and I jump off my bed and run to the bathroom to rinse my mouth out with everything I can find (water, mouthwash, toothpaste). I am in tears at this point. I look back at my bed and the spider is gone: I contemplate just burning everything at this point. Through my tears i manage to get all of the bedding into the washing machine before i throw up. I then proceed to throw up, cry some more and get ready for work. The worst part is I showed my friend a video of this exact situation happening on tiktok the night before. I am now ...

So last month I (43m) got sick and took some cough medicine. I noticed the cough medicine made me feel better so I kept taking it. I talked to my friends and family about taking the cough medication and they told me I can stop now. I kept taking it anyway before eventually realizing I might have a problem with it. So TIFU by I posted it on the a sub reddit called r/dxm (a group about cough medicine) and was immediately banned. (it was actually yesterday. I'm kinda of really bummed because I thought this was going to be one of those times reddit helps someone like the guy with the carbon monoxide and instead was just banned. The cough medicine made me sleep while I was awake or maybe it made me dream while it was awake or maybe awake while I was dreaming. I was'nt sure so I started writing everything down so I can reflect back on it .I haven't taken any cough medication today... about 36 hours now. TL;DR: took too much cough medicine and got banned from a subreddit about...

So this didn’t happen today but a few days ago and I’m still recovering from the embarrassment. I’m part of this tight friend group, and like most groups, we have a private GC where we joke around, rant, and sometimes… roast each other pretty hard. Nothing super mean, just the kind of stuff you’d never say out loud because tone matters a lot. Anyway, we were all hanging out at a café, just chilling. At some point, one of my friends asked to see a meme I mentioned earlier. Without thinking, I opened my phone and went straight to the group chat to find it. The problem is, I completely forgot that the last messages were us joking about THAT SAME FRIEND sitting right in front of me. And of course, the exact moment I handed over my phone, the screen showed a message like “bro thinks he’s the main character again” followed by a bunch of laughing emojis. There was this immediate awkward silence. He just slowly looked up at me like… seriously? I tried to laugh it off and say it was just ...
