TIFU by accidentally revealing someone’s affair

So this is a long one, but it’s fucking bad. It started with my friend Sara, and her fiancé Mike. They’ve been together for 4 years, good people (or so I thought), doing ok in life. They recently bought a house, both have decent jobs, happy little boring American family. Sara calls me out of the blue a month ago and tells me she’s left Mike, that she met a guy in another state while she was visiting family, and that things with Mike just weren’t working out. I thought it sucked, Mike is a good guy, but it’s none of my business.

I hadn’t talked to her much since the holidays are insane with work and family stuff, and I figured she was sorting out moving and such. So a few days ago I’m scrolling through Facebook and I see pictures of Sara with her new guy celebrating Christmas. I thought “cool, I think the situation was kind of reckless, but I’m glad things are going ok”. That’s as far as my thought process went, and I should’ve looked deeper, here’s where it gets bad.

I get a message from Mike wishing us a Merry Christmas, and saying we should all hang out soon. Awesome, Mike has also moved on and there’s no conflict, everyone is happy. I told him that sounded good, and to get with us next week so we could have dinner. Mikes mom who is also my friend messaged me to say Merry Christmas. We talked for a few about how crazy the holidays were and of course the subject of Mike came up. I said “I’m glad to see Mike has found someone, he’s a good dude and regardless of what happened with Sara, we still consider them both friends”. Here it goes, “what do you mean?” Says Mike’s mom, fuck.

I told her about Sara telling me she was leaving weeks ago, and that I saw her post a family photo with the new guy. I told her Mike asked us out to dinner so we could “all” hang out and I took that as he had also moved on. Apparently this was news to his mom, and Mike, because they had all celebrated Christmas with Sara, who is still living with Mike. I wasn’t going to lie to anyone so I told them both what I knew, and what I saw. Apparently Sara told Mike that she deactivated her Facebook, she told everyone who knew him he same thing. What she did though was just block everyone associated with Mike, so she could post pictures of the new guy so he wouldn’t be suspicious about her hiding from the camera and not wanting to be tagged. She forgot to block a few people, I guess I was one of them.

Cat’s out of the bag now, everyone knows, but Sara doesn’t know that we know. Mike is playing it cool and giving her a chance to come clean. I know I’m gonna get blamed for all of this shit, but I had no idea. What she told me versus what was actually happening are two very different things.

TLDR: My friend is a hoochie and I accidentally exposed her ratchetness.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
