TIFU by playing Stardew Valley on my lunch break

I got my wife Stardew Valley on Switch for Christmas this year because she has been going balls deep on Animal Crossing this year but has been running out of stuff to do. Well, except for making Snow Boys right now, which really seems more like a exercise in frustration than anything. So I thought Stardew Valley would give her a nice change. I also got Lets Go! Evee from my parents.

Now I tried out Stardew Valley on Christmas Day after a few too many Irish Coffees had been drank, and my wife had fallen asleep...and I realllly like it. I played all day Saturday while we recovered from our caffeinated Jameson binge while she watched The Office because there are only a few days left for that. She tried out Stardew too, but just couldn’t into it. So I kinda hogged the Switch all Saturday.

On Sunday she decided to try out Lets Go! Evee while I watched The Mandalorian, and she got reallly into it. Powering through, really Catching. Them. All.

I even watched her beat Misty last night, exclaiming that even today that Starmi would kick my ass like it did when I was 8.

Now for the fuck up. On my lunch break today I thought, hey I will go play some Stardew. Wife is working so I decide I won’t bug her and just play a couple quick days and get some copper ore. Do my thing, forge some bars. Put the Switch back. Go back to work. An hour or so later my wife is done for the day and goes to boot up Lets Go...

She comes into my office with the saddest look, her game was gone. Apparently there is no autosave on Pokemon games (which makes sense in a way) but I had just assumed it would have autosave. Every game autosaves these days! She wasn’t mad, but ever so sad. I got her a pack of berry flavored gummies to try to make up for it but I know from experience a razz berry will only go so far to ease the pain. But she is back to it, this time grinding even harder. Sitting next to me while Andy and Dwight are serenading Erin with John Denver tunes in the background.

tldr: Played Stardew Valley for 15 minutes and erased a days worth of my wife’s progress on Lets Go! Evee because apparently Pokemon games don’t have autosave.

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...
