TIFU by telling my girlfriend she would look better if she was thinner

So this happened about half an hour ago and after some groveling. Me and the gf are on the couch having a drink, watching rubbish on the TV. She made the comment GF: "would you still love me if i looked like that in 20-30years" in a joking cliche way.

My genuine response being Me: "sure, if you still kept your sense of humour and personality" lovey dovey crap I know.

GF: "Great, i can start to letting myself go now"

A little background, she has a sizeable tumour around the uterus area, when I say sizeable think 2nd trimester size. Now for the FU, my stupid brain tries to make jokes all the time and about 80% of them are just crap. The next words that came out of my mouth were:

Me:"you would look better if you didn't have the giant tumour"

"you would better..." did I seriously just say those infamous words, words that ruin relationships. And of course I tried to back pedal with

Me:"No, that's not what I meant to say"

Yup, I am just digging the hole deeper now, please just kill me. So, my girlfriend has now given me her full attention and has graciously given me a slim chance to explain what I meant. I took about a couple of minutes to collect my thoughts whilst my girlfriend staring at me with the "what's my alibi gonna be when they find his body" look.

Long story short, I thankfully made a coherent explanation of what I was trying to say and my girlfriend understands that I'm a dumb bitch. I have a bad habit of saying the worst things at the wrong times. I have also taken back the first "I love you too" when I mistakenly thought she said it first (she said hello).

TL:DR - I told my girlfriend that she would look better once she lost a tumour. We are still together and i dont think she is planning to kill me.

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...
