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 by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
