TIFU by trying to treat my cold and getting banned on a subreddit

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...

TIFU by accidentally exposing my friend group’s secret group chat in front of everyone

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 ...

TIFU by confidently waving back at someone who was not waving at me… and then committing to it way too hard

This didn’t happen today but I’m still recovering mentally. I was walking into a store and saw someone smiling and waving directly at me from across the parking lot. I had my headphones in, felt kinda main-character for a second, and immediately waved back… like a full, enthusiastic wave. They kept walking. Still smiling. Still waving. So now I’m thinking “oh they must really know me” and I DOUBLE DOWN. I point at myself like “me??” and do that awkward half-laugh wave combo. That’s when I noticed the person behind me. They walk past me, straight to the waver, and they hug. I’m still mid-wave. We make eye contact. All three of us. And instead of stopping like a normal person, my brain decided the best option was to just… keep walking while slowly lowering my hand like nothing happened. I have never felt my soul leave my body that fast. tl;dr: waved back at someone who wasn’t waving at me, escalated it into a full interaction, and accidentally became a background character ...

TIFU by drinking 5 litres of liquid in 4 hours.

So after waking at 6am and realising I had an easy rest day, no gym, no fam time, no obligations. I decided to fire up red dead redemption 2 after breakfast and get lost in the sweet world of being a cowboy for the morning. I've been playing it in first person view, talk about complete immersion. I wasn't overly thirsty, yet still for some dumbass reason in 4 hours sank about 6 pints of water, as well as having two 600ml pots of green tea, 200ml of milk in a protein shake, and 300ml in a blend of apples and blackberries with my breakfast eggs. Little did I know what I was in for. Around half 10 I all of a sudden feel very nauseous, and spacey. I originally put it down to not eating for 4 hours since breakfast, not a usual feeling of hunger but I did not consider the vast amount of liquid to be the cause. My vision then started to get blurry, I don't need glasses but I couldn't see right from distance, then up close. It felt like I was wearing soaking wet socks and glo...

TIFU, Said my ex’s name

I absolutely love my significant other and feel we have a great relationship. TIFU by calling my ex’s name during a pool match. Said “great shot “ex”” instead of my significant other’s name. He heard but waited and brought it up later after the match and we talked about it. I apologized profusely, said it was a slip up, and honestly I have no feelings for the ex. I think my lizard brain just kicked in at the moment. I wish I could blame it on alcohol but wasn’t drunk. What can I do to make things right? Just time? He is truly amazing and I would love to make things up to him. And also not slip up like this in the future. It hurts both of us. TL;DR : said my ex’s name instead of my significant other’s during a match, want to make things right.

TIFU, I parked in a residential spot and got blocked

So i went to go pay one of my buddies in an apartment complex a visit. More specifically went to go drop off dog food at his place. Quick errand, 5 min side quest. There are a whole bunch of tenant spots around, yet no visitor parking, so I thought “quick 5 mins then ill leave. nobody will be the wiser” Boy was i wrong. I have now been sitting in my car for about an hour and half, blocked off waiting for the owner to return and move his truck. It’s completely blocking me off, I have no way out. Tried contacting the office, closed on weekends. Tried contacting after hours maintenance, no help from them. So Im just sitting here waiting lol. I understand I messed up hard, and the consequences are also fitting. I can’t help but laugh at the situation, if i were the owner of the spot id probably do the same thing lol. Also side note, I can’t get my buddy to help, he’s in a different building than the one i parked at. He also had some other thing to go to as well. Im definitely gonna ...
